playing with his guys
Here is Axel playing in his room with his 'guys'. I'm still learning to get better at getting my video's on my blog. Some days technology just is not my friend. I know I've been updating this blog way more than I ever used to but with having all my family and friends so far away we have so much to share!
I think the earth cores split today....I got a cell phone. For those of you that know I haven't had a cell phone for 9 or 10 years. It was sorta my thing. After yesterday being stuck in the icy tundra while I was preggers we decided that a cell phone would be a really good idea. We got a GO phone so it was a easy way to enter into the world of cell phones. I'm sure it'll be great having one but I still don't want all the fancy bells and whistles that all the phones have. Maybe some day I'll learn to text...hee hee. I have to laugh at myself. Most of the time I love new technology and gadgets but I just have a thing with cell phones. I'll learn to deal with having one :)

Ice day for Mom
Dad and Axel in their matching TC hats.
Shout out to the Twin Cities!!
Keeping the brim straight mom, that's what all the kids do these days....
I was just playing around with the camera today since I was iced in. I attempted to drive to work this morning but the roads were like ice rinks. It was really scary and a little insane. I ended up turning around before I even got out of Eagle River. I got about 1.5 miles from the house and got stuck on the side of the road in the middle of a ton of other cars that were stopped dead in their tracks. I walked home (since I still don't have a cell phone-I know, I'm getting one today!) and Brian being the wonderful hubby that he is got the car home safe and sound. It was so icy out there today I could barely walk home. I did fall twice but not on my tummy-on my butt. I was super upset either way. Talked with my doctor and they reassured me that there is plenty of padding for the baby and every thing is OK. Now we are all in for the day enjoying cartoons and snacks! I got my feet up and Axel is snuggling me. Not a bad way to spend on Monday!
On a happier baby note I am 12 weeks along now. One more week and I'll be in the second trimester! The baby is about 3 inches long and the size of a plum. Crazy how he/she has grown even from last week! We have a doctor visit next week so we'll get to hear the heart beat then.

Where do babies come from?
I was talking with Axel today about the baby in my tummy. He just kept looking at my tummy weird and tired pushing it down. (since I have already sprouted quite a bit!) Here's our little conversation.
Me: Where do babies come from?
Axel: Walmart!
Me:Well then how did it get in my tummy?
Axel: Belly button Mom. (Dah I guess!)
Me: How will the baby come out?
Axel: We'll have to break your tummy!
Me: How do we do that Axel?
Axel: I'll do it with my crane Mom!
Whoo..I hope that's not how the baby will come out! It's funny to hear what he thinks about all this baby stuff. I can't wait to see what he likes when my tummy gets really big and round!

Movie night
We brought Axel to his first movie tonight. We saw the movie Megamind. It was cute and Axel did really well. Snacks and soda helped. He had only 3 potty breaks and sat the whole time. He got a little restless towards the end but not to bad for his first time! It was fun actually going to a movie again. It's been a long time since we've been to a movie.
On the baby front I am 11 weeks pregnant today. The baby is officially described as a fetus. The baby is 1.5 inches long (about the length of your thumb from knuckle to the tip). It sounds so small for how tight my pants are lately! I have been feeling great just tired all the time. I haven't had any nausea for all most two weeks now. I am enjoying that even with being so tired. I've already had a little heartburn but I do eat a lot of spicy food, so I'll blame it on that! All in all things are good!

Hiking to a waterfall
Went hiking to a waterfall today. I would have never thought hiking in the winter would be so much fun.
A snowman (made by Axel and dad) for each one of us. Dad, Mom, Axel and baby #2! We are due June 5th, which makes us 10 weeks along. I haven't said much about it yet but I couldn't hold it in any longer! We are going to be a family of 4! I can't wait.

more snow
Axel in the snow
The view from our deck
Playing in the front yard
Our house
More snow already? We woke up today to find about 3 inches for snow, but later in the day it was 40 degrees and melting. If you go to Anchorage-which is only about 15 minutes from us they have no snow yet. Here's a few pictures from this morning. Thankfully we have a friendly neighbor that let's us use he snow blower in exchange for doing her drive way. Deal! (we'll for Brian any way)
