Keeping up with the Colvins (haha)
Time for another update! I was recently reading my old blog posts and I am sad that I am so horrible at keeping it updated so that is my new goal! So 2015 flew past in a blur, and now it's 2016. Time really does go by so much faster after high school. So let's see, where to start? Well I will start when we bought our first car! Well, first to us, because we purchased it through a dealership and not Craigslist. It's a 2006 Honda Pilot and we love it, although it was sad to see my Bravada retire, I learned how to drive in that car and had it through high school.
Christmas 2015, was a wonderful family Christmas, it was so much fun for us because Ellie was a bit older and could somewhat understand how Christmas worked. She loved it!
On the other hand, Christmas was the day we decided to move. Again. Wait, didn't we just move? Well yes, we lived in our little 2 bed, 1 bath for about 2 years and we loved it, except for having noisy neighbors all the time. The kitchen was also TINY and I love to cook and bake so we decided to upgrade and move to an upstairs apartment to avoid having stomping neighbors.
So we are all moved in to our new place and so far we love it. The kitchen is huge! Yay! So the next big thing to happen was this;
We were so excited! It was a different experience this go around because we were trying to get pregnant, so it was no surprise that soon after we began trying I started feeling symptoms and we took a test on April 8th and got a positive! We almost thought it was negative actually because the first line was so faint. But it was there!
This pregnancy has been a doozy let me tell you! I had it so easy with Ellie! I never threw up during my pregnancy with Ellie, I was just super nauseous. This go-around however I have thrown up multiple times. I was SOOO sick! I was constantly tired and irritable, (poor Jacob haha) I had no energy or will to take care of my toddler or my house for that matter. It was a long first trimester.
I am 20 weeks now and things are looking up. I can eat again and have a little more energy but still tire easily. I have horrible round ligament pain that sometimes makes it hurt to move, I never had that with Ellie.
Ellie by the way is SO excited to be a big sister. We kept asking her if she wanted a little brother or a sister and she always said sister. Well she got her wish!
We will soon have 2 little girls! We are thrilled and I am so excited to get the girl's room all pretty! We haven't decided on a name yet though. We still have time I guess.
Ellie turned 3 years old recently, What?! Three?!
She is such a big girl now. She is independent and sassy! She talks so well it's sometimes scary! She talks better than some 5 year olds I know. She is about 70% potty trained I would say, she is very good at telling us when she needs to go potty, except for #2, and we still put her in diapers at night because she always seems to need to go. She's getting there! Once she is fully trained she will get a big girl bed!
Jacob is still going to ASU and he is so ready to be done! He is tired of doing pre-reqs and just wants to be in dental school already! We recently took a trip to Salt Lake City Utah so he could go to a conference and University of Utah. He got to spend the whole day there learning about their programs for dental students, and he even got to do some drilling! ( On fake teeth of course) He is super excited to start dental school soon. He has one more semester at ASU and then he will have his Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry! Whoohoo!
So that's pretty much the jist of what's been going on recently. There's so much more but I need to be better at this blogging thing so I can remember it all! Until next time!
