Whats going on with us you ask???

We only have a few more weeks to go before we meet our percious little girl. We are beyond excited to say the least. However, this pregnancy hasn't been a walk in the park. It has however been quite the blessing. To top it all off, we are moving again. Yes, moving our home only 2.5 weekd before the baby is due. We are crazy. LOL. I had the babys room all set up, then sadly had to take it down. We are moving to a MUCH better neighborhood in a MUCH better tri-plex. We are super excited for this new adventure, but hope little Azlin holds off on her arrival until I atleast have her room done! I found my camera & the camera cord, so I will be doing a MAJOR post in the next couple of days of just pictures of what we have been up to...and boy is it a lot!

Maternity Pictures

One of my best friends, Candace (who lives in Texas) came to visit in September. She kindly & willingly did our maternity photo shoot. I love the way she captured every emotion with us. As I looked at them, I laughed & cried. They are beautiful. Here are just a few from our wonderful day at the Huntington Beach Pier. Thanks for taking these Sister!! xoxoxo

Like I said, theses are only a few...they ALL came out perfect, but it will take me HOURS to upload them all. :-)

coming soon...A NEW POST!!

My blog is like my journal...and I've gotten horrible at it. UGH!!! Mind you, we just got the internet like 2 weeks ago (if that), and before that I had to go to the local Starbucks to use & abuse thier free internet. LOL. I have belly pictures, and misc. pics to post once I find my camera. Check back soon...the bump is here & its in full swing! xoxo

We're having a...

GIRL... Yes, its true. A beautiful baby girl. Her name will be Azlin Starr McGary. I'm now 21 weeks. I feel more & more pregnant everyday. The baby is constantly under my right rib, so its a little uncomfortable. When we found out what we're having on July 15th, they informed me that I have placenta previa. So if things don't "move itself" I will be having a c-section the week of Thanksgiving. Wow, a baby before Thanksgiving. I'm SO not ready for it. Anyways, there you have it...ITS A GIRL!!! xoxoxo

18 weeks...and counting!

So I'm offically 18 weeks. I am almost HALF way thru this pregnancy. Its hard to believe that we tried for so long only to have time pass by so quickly. I am still amazed at the fact that I'm growing another human being in my "tummy"...its crazy, almost Alien (the movie) like. LOL. But I've enjoyed this journey so far and wouldn't trade one day of it. Even when I was falling asleep on the bathroom floor from morning/afternoon/evening sickness. We find out the sex of our nugget on July 15th, my husbands birthday. What a great day to find out if it's a boy or girl. We THINK it's a boy. (it would be the FIRST grandson on the McGary side. I'm sure no matter what the baby is, it'll be excited to join the 3 McGary girls & 18 Bartlett kids.) I know a lot of you are asking about names. Well, theres our picks friends...

...Boy Names...

Chance Edward McGary (means good luck & Edward after my nephew)

Keagan Andrew McGary (means a thinker in Cherokee & after Andrew)

...Girl Names...

Aslan Starr McGary (means powerful star in Cherokee)

Wyanet Starr McGary (means beautiful star in Cherokee)

Autumn Ruby McGary (after a friend that I charish :))

Keelyn Starr McGary (Andrews favorite)

So there you have it. I'm pretty sure once we find out what the baby is we'll name it RIGHT THEN. LOL. :o) This week is pretty full with events for my hubbys birthday...dinners, Disneyland, parties, etc. So I will post on there what we're having next week.

Hello 2nd Trimester!!

Well I am now in my 2nd trimester and AM LOVING IT!! The day entering into my 2nd trimester, I woke up and said a prayer. I asked Heavenly Father for no more morning (or in my case all day sickness) and for my RA to be calm throughout the remainder of my pregnancy. Ever since that little convo with God I've been fine. I am currently having a flare up, but I can handle that for sure. 1 out of 2 really isn't bad. LOL. We have a high risk OB appointment tomorrow. (I have to go to a high risk because of my RA & other things) Hopefully we'll be able to see if its a boy or a girl!! Right now, I am just happy for this experience. It has brought me & Andrew closer and we've enjoyed looking for baby items.

Moving, Puppies and More!

So this past weekend we moved into our own little 2 bedroom apartment on Avocado Street. Its nothing fabulous, but its ours. Packing and moving while pregnant is an adventure. Whats also an adventure you ask?? Waking up Saturday morning to find out that my dog Maui had her puppies...YES, on moving day. She had four puppies underneath the shed in my parents' back yard. Its amazing to see her with her pups. She is such a good mama. So, anyways we had the gang over & they helped us move. I started spotting and cramping, so I basically put myself in a "time-out" for a few hours during the move. Now, we're all moved in and totally NOT unpacked. LOL.

The puppies...healthy and CUTE!!!

Our home. =)
