Day 2-The meaning behind your Blog name

Prior to finding out that we were pregnant, our blog name was “Two and a Half Mizes”. That name obviously came from the television show “Two and a Half Men”. David is obsessed with that show and we figured it would make a cute name. Especially since Tucker is SO much half Mize and half Boehrer.

Now, our blog name is David, Jenn, Tucker and the Gummy Bear. This name started after out first ultrasound of the new baby. The U.S. Tech referred to the baby as looking like a Gummy Bear, and it really does. So, until we find out what this baby is going to be on April 7th, it will fondly be referred to as… The Gummy Bear!

Keep and eye out though, we’ll probably be changing the name of the blog again shortly after we find out what we’re having! :)

The Inspiration Behind Our Name Change

Day 1-Recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

Yeah, this is how often I end up in pictures. This picture was taken the beginning of last October. Oh well! It will do. Now… 15-interesting facts about myself. I make no promise that they are interesting, or new to most of you, but they are facts.

 

1. I am the youngest and only girl with 4-older brothers. Which is why I don’t understand girls so well, and also is why I value my friendship so much with my best girl friends. :)

2. I absolutely LOVE Jon Bon Jovi. Anything he sings I will listen to.

3. I did not truly gain my current confidence until AFTER I served a mission.

4. I served a mission for 18-months in the North Pacific. Specifically the Micronesia Guam Mission on the islands of Pohnpei and Guam.

5. My family means the WORLD to me. We are like the mafia, we can mess with each other, but no one else better mess with us. I have 7 nieces and 6 nephews whom I love each to pieces.

6. My parents have been married for 43-years which sets the bar pretty high for my brothers and I. :)

7. I played basketball from 7th to 10th grade. Note I said played and not that I was good.

8. I absolutely love to teach at church. Specifically Relief Society lessons. I learn so much.

9. It’s not the easiest thing in the world for me to go up and talk to someone I don’t know. However, I love making new friends.

10. I always have a “to-do” list somewhere in my house. And on most of those lists is listed *find to do list. :)

11. David and I were married 1-year to the day, from the day we started dating.

12. I work at the Kids Court at the gym that I workout at. It’s interesting… that’s all I’ll say! :)

13. I hate shopping for myself. However, I could shop for clothes for Tucker for HOURS!

14. I HATE cleaning the bathroom. However, I love to fold the laundry. My sister-in-law Tory and I decided that if we could design our own laundry room it would have a big screen TV and a huge bed to fold the laundry on. :)

15. I have always wanted to have children. I was always the person in Relief Society holding other people’s babies. So, you can imagine how excited I am to have another baby of my own to hold in a few months! :)

New Family Picture

This is about the speed of our family right now. We're pretty sad. I'm hoping that tomorrow is better because my Mom is coming.

It’s presence is being made known…

The baby inside is making itself known. I’m pretty sure we’re going to have an athlete with this one as well. This baby is moving from side to side so much I feel like I’m on a boat lost at sea during a terrible storm. It’s fun to have this feeling again though! :)

I was told to update! :)

I got a comment, a few texts, and e-mail telling me I needed to update. So, at least I know people are still reading the blog. :)

Things are going well here. After an EXTREMELY long month of budgets for David, he took last Thursday and Friday off to spend some time with us and give me a much needed break. It was really good timing too because it snowed pretty good both of those days. So, He and Tucker were able to play in the snow a little bit. I was hesitant to let Tucker be outside too much because last Thursday we took him in to see the Dr. to check is 3-week old cough and found out he was starting to get a double ear infection. :( And, his sinuses were backing up. But, he LOVED playing in the snow with Daddy. I do have pictures of it, and when I find the camera I’ll share them on here. :)

I had a Dr. appointment on Thursday as well. The best news of the appointment… I hadn’t gained a single pound since the previous appointment! YAY! I also got to hear the baby’s heartbeat, it’s a strong 159 bpm. It’s becoming a little more real to me now. I still get a little bit of denial once in awhile, but for the most part  I am accepting it. This pregnancy just happened SO fast, that it’s hard for me to really wrap my head around it all, but I’m getting there. Things are still on track for the baby to be born August 22nd, however, it’s still early and things can change. But, it won’t be ANY later than that. TRUST ME! :)

That’s all for now. Here’s a little cartoon I found that hit a little close to home the other day. :) Enjoy!
