Well, it is baby time! I'm up cooking me up some hashbrowns waiting to be able to go to the hospital to get induced!! I'm so excited! I didn't go to bed until about 2 last night and then Lorelai was talking to me for about 45 minutes after that! She is so cute. She is very excited(me too) because her Oma is here! She was telling me about all the fun things that her and Oma are going to do today while mommy is at the hospital getting Lincoln out of my tummy! She is very excited to play with the new Play-doh that Oma bought her. I'm so excited to see her as a big sister, it is going to be really fun. She is so sweet, and I think she is going to be an awesome big sister and such a big helper to me! She is the best little girl I could ask for!
I'm super excited to meet my little Lincoln. He doesn't want to come out, but I can't wait anymore! I'm so excited to have a little boy join our family. It will be fun to see the differences in having a boy and a girl. It was a long road to get to this point, but I'm so excited the day is finally here that I will get to see and hold my little Lincoln!! I'm so grateful for the oppurtunity that I have to be a mother, it is the greatest thing in the world.
My appointment was schedualed for 8:30am, but I called and they said I could come in an hour early so I better finish getting ready, it's almost baby time!!!

Spelling of baby's name
Hmmm, Steve said that he was thinking of spelling it Linkin.... now I'm not sure. Linkin Foster Hatch or Lincoln Foster Hatch. Not sure, not sure....

And baby Hatch's name is....
So, I think we have settled on a name! Lincoln Foster Hatch. We got Lincoln off of the tv show Prison Break. (Yes, some people name their kids after prophets or bible people, we name our kids after tv characters, lol) And Foster is Steve's dad's middle name, so it is a Hatch thing. I like his name more and more the more I hear it.
So the last couple days I have started to really feel little Lincoln move! It is so cool, it is my favorite part about being pregnant. He still doesn't move a whole ton, but enough to make me happy. I can't wait until Steve and Lorelai will be able to feel him move though. It will be fun to see what Lorelai thinks about that. I think she is starting to understand a little bit more that a baby is going to come live with us. Today her and I were going through baby clothes pulling out all boy clothes that we could find from Lorelai's stuff. I actually found a couple brand new boy outfits that I had, I must have bought them before I knew what I was having with Lorelai, and I'm sure they were on clearance! I still haven't bought Lincoln one new thing yet though! I have been looking, but I haven't found anything that I had to have, at least not in my price range! There are a ton of cute boy clothes out there, but you have to pay a pretty penny for them! And I don't go shopping much, so I don't get to do my clearance shopping as much as I did for Lorelai. Oh well, we have some clothes coming from family and my Mom is coming in Novemember and I have a feeling Lincoln will get a couple new outfits then!
So we have been potty training Lorelai for a couple weeks now. She has done AMAZING!!! She has had a total of 5 accidents in a 2 week period! I think that is pretty amazing! She was telling me when she had to go by day 3. We did the candy thing and she stopped wanting candy on day 4, she just wanted to go potty. She is awesome! I'm so proud of her! She still ask for a diaper to go poo, or just poos her pants, but I think she is doing pretty awesome! She is over 3 now, but she just wasn't ready before. It made such a huge difference waiting until she was ready. She got trained right away. We had tried a few times before with no success. But it was worth it to wait!
Steve and I painted the kitchen last weekend. It is a really pretty dark red. Oh did we have some problems though. Well we found the PERFECT color on clearance and Steve assured me that we would have enough...well he should have listened to me because we didn't! And since it was on clearance we didn't know what color it was, and the paint came from Wal-Mart...so needless to say we weren't able to match it just right. We are going to go to HomeDepot sometime though and see if they can color match it with their color match technology. It looks pretty good though, there are a few spots where you can tell the color is a little off on the main wall, but it isn't bad. On the wall with the sliding glass door though, ha, that wall looks ridiculous! Well, if you look at it from far away it looks fine, so if you come to my house, just keep your distance from that wall and you won't be able to tell a thing! I do love the color though, it makes me happy to walk into my kitchen and see some color!
Steve also put our back lawn in. It looks really good! He did such an amazing job. And he pretty much did it all by himself! Our neighbor Britton did help a bit, and I attempted to help a couple times, but for the most part, Steve did it all himself. He worked so hard for a couple weeks getting it all done. He is so awesome. He would come home from work and just go right outside until it got dark and worked on the yard. He is a very good husband and father. He works so hard for us and wants to make us happy. I'm a lucky lady to have him!!
I have to say, I'm pretty happy with my life. I have an awesome husband, and amazing little girl, and a sweet little boy on the way. We have a beautiful home, and my husband has a good job. We have wonderful family and friends, what more could we ask for?? Sure money is tight, and I get lonely sometimes having no family around, but life is great! I feel really blessed.

Knocked Up!
Ok, so it's been a while. The big news, I'm finally pregnant!! I'm due Feb. 7th, 2011. I think it was that HSG test that did the trick! We are so excited and can't wait to have this little one join our family! Still will be about another month before we find out the sex, but either way it doesn't matter! I do have to say that I am more nervous for a boy. I just already know what to do with a girl! And we already have all the girl stuff, so it would just be easier, lol. But either way I will be happy. Steve thinks it is for sure another girl. I have no idea, I knew Lorelai would be a girl, but this one has me confused! Guess we will find out in about a month. I want to thank everyone for their prayers and good thoughts. We really appreciate it and feel so grateful to have such wonderful family and friends!
This pregnancy has been a bit different from my first one. I've been WAY more sick. I haven't puked yet though! I'm about 15 weeks along, so I might never puke, woo-hoo! I have never been a big puker thoughI think I went like 6 years without puking at one point. I've been super tired this pregnacy too. That isn't diffent from last time, but now I have a 3 yeaer old to chase around, so I can't sleep everytime I'm tired! Oh well. I'm surving and I'm just so thankful to be pregnant.
Lorelai is growing up so much. I can't believe what an awesome little person she is. I just love to sit ther eand watch her and see what she does. I love watching her discover new things. She is such a little performer too! She totally recites lines of movies/shows and does dances. She has such an amazing memory as well. She watches a movie once, and she can quote it the second time we watch it. She is so beautiful too. I'm so in love with this little girl, it amazes me!
Yesterday we went to a pool party that our dentist office was throwing. It was so much fun! It took Lorelai a little bit to warm up to the idea of swimming, but by the end she was running all over the kiddie pool. I really need to take her swimming more. It is just so hard when we don't have a community pool. There is a city pool in the next town over, so I think we will have to go there at least a couple times before the summer is up.
My mom and dad decided that they are coming to Utah again this year for Thanksgiving. We are really excited! Hopefully we can get more of the family to come as well. We had so much fun with my family for Thanksgiving last year. A lot of my family is going to be getting together in Texas for Labor Day. I'm sad that I won't be able to go, but we just couldn't swing it this time. We have had so many expenses lately, we just have to really watch our money. But I hope that they have a great time, and maybe they can make it here for Thanksgiving!
