Tuesday Truths

1. The truth is... Vitoria is moving a lot now. I love feeling it! It is so awesome but weird at the same time.

2. The truth is... On Friday I will be halfway through my pregnancy. I still look as though I'm only 13 weeks a lot. Oh well, I know that Victoria is happy and healthy and that's all I can ask for.

3. The truth is... I'm leaving for San Diego today and I have to leave my boys behind (its for work). I'm not sure I can handle 3 days without them. We will have to find out. At least my best friend will be there with me!

4. The truth is... I get more excited for Josh's birthday than my own. Pathetic? Probably.

5. The truth is... I've been working really hard on the nursery. I think it looks so cute so far! All I have to do is clean out the random stuff we have in there and finish the curtains and then I will post pictures. It will be as complete as I can get it until after Thanksgiving (which is about 3 weeks before Victoria is supposed to arrive).

Tuesday Truths

1. The truth is... I cried during Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2. I'm not sure if it was because I was sad or because of the hormones. I'm going with a little of both.

2. The truth is... Josh got 3 more hours of work each week. He is now up to 28 hours a week. Hopefully he will get up to 40 soon!

3. The truth is... I can't wait to go to San Diego next week. It is for work, but the cooler weather sounds AMAZING!

4. The truth is... Josh's dad is creeping us out with how excited he is about the baby. Our baby is going to be extremely spoiled by him alone.

5. The truth is... I finally decided what I am going to make for my sister Paula for Christmas. Hopefully I will have time to make it during the school year.

Introducing,,,

Before I actually post pictures I want to tell a a couple of quick stories. First, when Josh and I were dating (at the age of 18) we decided that when we got married and started having kids we wanted a girl first, then a boy, and the last would be a girl. Why we came up with it, I'm not sure. However, that is what we wanted (it is even documented on my senior project which was a blanket). No, I'm not say it's a girl, I'm just saying that when we were 18, that is how we planned out our family. Who knew we would eventually wind up getting married.

Now on to my next story. Two months ago, on May 18th, I had my first ultrasound. It was the coolest experience ever! It was the first time I got to see my sweet baby that we have been blessed with. When I looked at my baby on the screen I knew I would have a girl. I don't know why. I was blessed with the wonderful opportunity to get an small insight to my baby. One that I can never fully describe. It was pretty awesome though. I've been pretty much stuck on the girl thought ever since. Knowing that, I now introduce you to our newest addition...

Victoria Opal Hoffman

Her little alien face. She was actually facing my back, so it was hard to get a good profile pictures.

Her cute little hand waving to her mom and dad.

I know the pictures are not the greatest, but they are much better in real life. Both Josh and I are so excited that she is doing well. The doctor said that she is about 9 ounces and is exactly where she needs to be at 18 weeks. She has been doing a lot of kicking lately, which is nice to know she is doing good.We were able to tape the ultrasound (my dad will transfer it to DVD) so we can see her  whenever we want until she comes in December!

** Jack Jack is so excited to have a little baby sister on the way. That and I actually hope to get a baby bump picture soon, although I still am not very big.**

Two and a half more days until Josh and I get to see baby again! We get to find out the gender as well. I'm so excited! I've been feeling baby move even more and it is always reassuring to feel it because I know that everything is okay! I can't wait until Monday!

Tuesday Truths

1. The truth is... I keep a cup of water by my bed at night. Sometimes I need a drink and I don't have to get out of bed when I do. Josh has finally gotten used to it.

2. The truth is... Last night Jack Jack was sleeping and his tail started twitching. It was so funny!

3. The truth is... I start back to school soon. It is depressing to think about.

4. The truth is... Sometimes the only way I can sleep at night (and on my side since I'm not supposed to sleep on my back) is by hugging a body pillow.

5. The truth is... I started making a stocking for Jack Jack and baby yesterday. I just have to put on the name and beads to decorate. I can do that when I find out what the baby is on Monday!
