7 Weeks Pregnant

I have been a sick girl!!! Hopefully I can start gaining weight and stop being so sick :/ Here is the big week seven photo. Woot! 

Family Pictures

    Wa Wa Wa....pictures were alright. V cried a lot because she didn't want to hold still for one second and there was a spot on the camera lens. We are planning on taking more, but here are a few good ones!

The BIG Cheese!

Love these kids!

Mattix has the cutest cheeks! We get so many comments when people see this chunky little mans cheeks! 

 It is funny to watch him sleep, he will lay in the craziest positions. We have a swing and he leans out of it half way, it is pretty wild. I will have to get a picture next time he does it.

 Yesterday Vella was eating some of Jessie Arnold's taco soup she brought over and made a mess in the kitchen. I was cleaning it up and when I went to get her she was cleaning both her ears out at once. Alexis told me to go get the camera so I did and she was being a ham for the camera.

 You have to love them, even with the messy faces.

I was trying to get the videos off of our camera onto my mac but I cannot figure out how. Anyway it has a preview picture for each movie and I saw this picture and thought I would add it too. Vella and Tata (I think that is how you spell it, I googled it and it said it was spanish for daddy, papa) Corbitt.

6 weeks pregnant

We decided that we are going to do belly shots, not those kind, to record the progress of this pregnancy. I think it would be cool to be able to take all the photos and make them into a video so you can see the belly grow. We will work hard on taking photos often to have a rich supply. Well here is the 6 week belly mark!

Pregnancy reaction

I was going through the videos on the camera and found one of my reaction when my wife told me she was pregnant. I didn't even know that she was recording me. It made me laugh to see myself.

This is an edited down version, but the whole 30 second version is also on youtube (which was cut off early because of camera issues) at

SNEAKY WIFE!!!

Longer version

Lariat Cave

We went to Lariat Cave with Cory and Shaely last month. It was awesome. We took the girls all the way around the lariat but we acted like we had never been back that far. I know that Alexis was really into it. She has a very adventurous side! We also drove out to King Bowl, but I do not have any pictures on my camera... I am not sure why, I think my battery must have died or something, but Cory had some on his cellular device

This is the entrance.

 Alexis and I dropping down into the cave.

 This is right after you get into the cave after coming down the rock fall. There is muddy sand along the bottom of the floor.

 This is the same position as the picture above just facing the entrance.

 Cory and Shaely.

 This is a pinch point in the cave that you have to crawl through. I tried to get a picture of my wife coming through it but I was a bit early on the pictures.

2012 Garden

This year we have a smaller garden but we thought it would be cool to grow pumpkins to carve during Halloween!

Our raspberries are doing amazing, we should have a lot of them. Last year Vella and I would always go out and pick a bowl full and bring them to mom, and while we were doing that we would get a fair share for ourselves. 

 This is two of our tomato plants and about 10 red onions

 Two more tomatoes and 10 more red onions

 This is two pumpkins and two spaghetti squash plants.

I will keep posting pictures of the progress!! I am excited to grow pumpkins and see them go crazy!

How I told Greg the news...

My period has been a little irregular since I am breastfeeding. So when I didn't start I was like oh whatever I will within the next week or two, but I didn't. I had been feeling more tired, but I didn't think anything of it. My kids will usually take their nap at noon and during that time I will clean the house or watch T.V. or just have me time. Lately during their nap I will nap with them and at the time I was like what is wrong with me!? I decided to take a pregnancy test for the heck of it because I had a couple leftover from when I got pregnant with Mattix. I couldn't believe it when the test had a plus sign!! I thought for sure it had to be wrong so I went to the store the next day and bought two more, haha. I came home and they were all positive! How did I get pregnant on the pill? I don't know. I must be the one of the 1% it doesn't work for, because this is the second time this has happened! I was super consistent in taking it. The same time every day. Plus I am nursing, so I am supposed to have extra protection, ha! So much for that! I was pretty shocked when the test was positive. So I found out I was pregnant a couple of days before I told Greg. I wrapped the test up in a box with a newborn diaper. One day after dinner I told him I got a late Mother's day gift and asked if he wanted to see it. He did and he asked who it was from. I told him it was from my friend. He asked who and I didn't know what to say so I just said it was from my friend Donna. He opened it and was like, "She sent you a diaper??!". I told him to keep looking and he say the test. He said, " She sent you a pregnancy test? Huh? WAIT! You're pregnant?". I told him yes and he turned really pale and kept asking why Donna sent me a pregnancy test. I told him that she didn't and it was just a surprise and he was still confused and in shock for a while. Later that night he told me the pregnancy test was probably a false positive and we shouldn't have just had sex because I could've not been pregnant but I am for sure going to get pregnant now LOL. I was like..Greg, I took five tests and they were all positive and not all the same brand. I am definitely pregnant! We are more excited now ;) It is kinda crazy to think we will have three kids in 2.5 years. I love being a mom and I am sure it will be fine haha. My two arms are good for two kids, so it will be interesting with three kids. We will soon see!

Our little family is about to get a little bigger

Once again birth control has failed us. We found out that Alexis is pregnant and that we will have a third kid sometime in January. We had planned on waiting until I was closer to graduating, now that I am in the Doctor of Pharmacy program, but things never seem to go exactly how you plan. We are a little nervous but still excited. I cannot believe we will have 3 kids in 3 year. Maybe we should change the name of our blog to that.

Updates!

I have got to use  different title than "Updates" every once in   while, haha. I guess I am not creative enough to come up with something better! Things have been pretty busy. Greg got a job at the hospital. He works crazy hours, but he seems to like it. the last few days he worked from 5 am to 5 pm. Good thing every day is not like that! I am trying to take advantage of him being home more, because when school starts up I will hardly see him . Only  few more years till pharmacy school is over! Time goes by so quickly. We can survive the hard times! :) Greg is such an amazing husband and father. I am so grateful for all he does. He is so much fun and caring. I am a lucky girl. He is my best friend and I am glad I get to spend forever with him! I am not sure I can say the same for him...I can be a pain in the butt!! ;) One of the coolest things about Greg is once he wants something he sets his mind to it and gets it. Whatever it may be. I really admire that about him. He could do anything he wanted because he is so determined. I love him!
 Mattix is doing well. He is so sweet. He has big cheeks and a guy at the store today commented on how fat his cheeks were. It was really funny. He pointed it out to all the people around him haha. He is a big boy! He is wearing some 18 month clothes already. He is doing better with eating solids. I went against the doctors advice and started feeding him rice cereal. I figured out what consistency he does best eating with and he hardly wheezed afterwards. I can't leave him for long though because he still can't drink from a bottle. The swallow study showed that he aspirated the worst with the bottle and I have tried to give it to him ( I know..I am a bad mom) in hopes of him doing well with it. Every time he chokes. One day I will be done with breastfeeding. One day... He is crawling around. He still does this funny army crawl. I love him. He is surprisingly quick! He loves to jump. He loves the bouncer and when I hold him so he is standing he will usually try to jump. He is quite the wiggle worm! He loves his sister. Vella does really well with him. Sometimes Mattix will crawl over her or get to close to her and she will get frustrated and tell him no. He laughs and laughs at her and continues to do whatever he was doing. He is a sweet boy!!
Vella is my sweet girl. She is growing so quickly, I can hardly believe it! Next month she will be 2. WOW! She is growing up so fast. It has been so fun to watch her grow. She is at a fun stage. She is a busy girl . She loves to take things apart and empty the drawers in he bathroom or her dresser drawers. It is sometimes exhausting! She likes to help, which makes things nice. She throws trash in the trash, and helps me make the beds, and stuff like that. She is pretty protective of her food, but lately she has been trying to share with Mattix. One day he will be able to eat the things she gives him. She loves books. She likes them so much she sleeps with them! When I put her to bed she asks for a book and when I get up in the morning there is usually about five on her bed. It is really neat. She is so tall. She is taller than most kids her age. She has her daddy's genes, thank goodness :) She can already reach the door handle and tries to go outside pretty often, so we have to remember to keep it locked. The other day she moved her diaper box in front of the door and unlocked it. She is too smart for her own good. She is so nice to Mattix. When she sees him she will run up to him and say, "Buddy, hi!" and rub his hair. It is cute, but not so much when he is napping haha. Quite a few times Vella will put toys on him when he is sleeping and he will wake up and want to play. I love my kids, but I like when they nap. So that sometimes is a bummer, but she is so sweet it makes it okay. Today at the park Vella saw a baby and was passing by him. She said, "Baby" and rubbed his head. She is so good hearted. I am so glad she is that way. It makes me feel like I am doing something right. We have been having play dates with My friend Ashlie and her daughter Mackenzie. I love those girls! Kenzie is about a year older than Vella. They get along so well! After our play date today Vella cried because she still wanted to play, which isn't like her. It is so fun to watch them play together.
Tomorrow is our family photo shoot so I better get to bed. Good night!
