It's a boy!

XANDER LOGAN ALBRIGHT

Yes, just as we suspected. We are now going to start buying blue instead of pink!
Pictures aren't very good cause they came from my phone but better ones to come...

For those of you who don't know, that's definitely A BOY. Not another limb on the body...

Everything looks great the nurse said. I now weigh 133 lbs. That's only 5 lbs gained in 1 month. But still good. My placenta is at the front of my stomach so its acting almost like an extra layer of skin between me and the baby. Hopefully it'll somehow move so I'll be able to feel the baby more often. The baby is now measuring to be Due May 16 not May 21 anymore but the nurse said she isn't going to change the due date. Bummer!!

Holi"DAZE"!!!

This week has been so crazy I don't know where to start. So here we go, day by day play by play....

Tuesday:
Had a meeting with my brother's landlords. We are thinking of the possibility to move into where my brother is seeing is how he and his wife are moving to the upstairs in the house. They seem to want us there and it was a go. Only come to find out that Jake and Stef can't move up there till the 29th and we have to move by the 31st in order to not have to pay January rent in our apartment we are in now! Crazy!!!! But we decided we will do it and are going to work it out.

Wednesday:
Christmas Eve!!! Met at Alan's brother James house at 1pm for lunch.

Cute little Sara, Kymber, and Jessie. Could never get them all to smile at the same time.

Then after lunch around four we all went to a place called Jumping Jacks in Springville and the kids went to town and had a ball!!!! Well, we all had a ball, even me preggo girl. At first Kymber was skeptical but she warmed up to it and gave Alan a run for his money. She also never got her afternoon nap that day so soon as we got home she was so worn out and about fell asleep in the car on the way home. It was only six so I kept her up till 7 then off to bed for Kymber. She really didn't want to, but soon as we told her Santa was going to come soon as she went to sleep she was out of it. 2 years old and she already gets it!

Thursday and Friday:
were a blur and I'll spare me the time putting up the pictures cause there are just too many. Christmas was awesome. I love being married and having someone to share it with. Also a cute little girl who is starting to get it! Makes it so much fun!!

Baby Update

Well exactly 1 week from today 'till we find out if we're gong tobe buying blue or pink for this little bean. I'm so excited I can't stand it. I'm definetely getting bigger and noticeably pregant. I'll have another belly picture at 20 weeks (I have one every 4 weeks) Baby Albright is starting to move more everyday. When us kids got together after the Christams party on Saturday I had a few drinks of Mt. Dew and boy did the baby flip out. It almost scareed me he or shekicked and or punched me so hard it freaked me out. And it kept happening! It was awesome. Hasn't really done it since but soon enough Im sure I'll be begging it to stop!

Annual Christmas Party and a big Suprise!

Finally I have something to write about! I love Christmas time. Not the snow. The whole spirit of everything. Namely the annual Rosenbaum the Saturday before Christmas. We usually do it at my aunts studio because the family is way too big to fit into any ones house. This year my aunt Diane got a new studio,it was really nice.
My sister Anita was coming home finally as a surprise to everyone. I was the only one in the family that knew, as far as everyone else was concerned she wasn't supposed to be discharged from the army till after New Years. So She and I got together before the party for an hour or so and went to the party. Boy was everyone surprised! I felt a little guilty about keeping the secret but it was way worth it. My brother Jake was the last one to show up to the party of course and wow was he surprised!

Here's a picture of Anita, Jake, and my sister in law, Estefany

Kymber was so cute at the party. My uncle Dennis and his family did a little skit to Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer and played Santa. He only sported the hat though. Anyway, we told Kymber it was Santa so she became obsessed. She kept saying,"Hi Santa!" and even went ans sat on his lap. I'm so glad I got a picture because it was adorable! Even cuter when he played along with it...


Now that we've come and gone to the Christmas party I'm more in the Christmas spirit!

16 weeks

My baby belly at 16 weeks. Not much bigger than at 12 weeks.

November 25, 2008

Catching up again. So I had my doctors appt. We finally set a date on when we figure out what this little bugger is going to be. December 29th! My birthday. What a nice birthday present. We are still expecting it to be a boy but we'll see. Other than that I feel great. My blood pressure was a little low and Ive gained a few pound but nothing big. I've started feeling the baby. Right now I'm little over 16 weeks and hopefully soon I can feel that baby more and more.My belly is also getting bigger. One day it just popped out. I love it.
Im feeling great now and have more energy. My poor house suffered through the first trimester and now I'm getting it back in order. It's so nice. Especially with Christmas comming up and my little army sister Anita coming home soon.
Kymber is doing awesome and is so excited for Christmas. She freaks out when she sees the lights =)

Stupid Virus

Alot of catching up to do. 2 weeks to be exact. We had to get a new computer because our other one was a piece and was slow...oh and did I mention it had a major virus on it? The virus was so bad that it was pssible that a hacker got our personal information from it.So we had a to call and get a fraud alert on our credit and also notify the bank. With that we will soon have to completely change bank account numbers and stuff. How annoying. And it makes me sick that there are people out in the world that would do that. With that said, I will fill you in on the past two weeks. More to come.

Thanksgiving

Thankgiving this year was at Alan's sister's house in West Haven. (That's 1 1/2 hour drive north up by Hill Air Force Base)

Cute little Kymber. Can't get enough of her cuteness...

That's Alan's sister Pammy (also pregnant) and Kymber and Glory. We had so much. I made a cheesecake and cheated and bought a Marie Callendars Coconut cream pie from Walmart. Not much to write except we ate and ate some more and just had fun visiting some family.

I'm thankful for...

I've been thinking alot lately about my blessings and what I'm thankful for. Thanksgiving season has that affect on a person I guess. So here's my list.

I'm Thankful For:
My Husband. Alan is so wonderful and works to make sure I can stay home with Kymber. He tries to help around the house and although most of the time I feel overwelmed that I do everything, I understand he works and that is good enough for me. I'm so thankful he's such an endearing and caring guy. Needless to say I'm the wife that gets babied and I know it. I get foot rubs all the time and he NEVER complains. I love him so much and I don't know what I'd do without him. I am so grateful he thinks of Kymber as his own daughter and everyday I love to watch as they grow closer.

My 2 yr. old Kymber. I'm grateful for her because I know that I can have children. Even though she cries whenever I leave for errands and it gets old, I'm grateful for the fact that she loves me enough to miss me. I'm even thankful when she makes a mess because I know she is a heathly girl who loves to play. Sometimes it bugs me when she preferes Alan over me, but I have to sit back and think "I'm one lucky girl." I have a husband who loves Kymber and Kymber loves him just as much and thinks of him as her dad. that means more to me than anything and t's all I've ever asked for. I never thought it would happen.

My Apartment. Even though I feel like it's always messy and sometimes I feel trapped inside all day sometimes at times. And when I get frustrated that we have no space for anything, I know and am grafteful that I have a place to live in and I have possesions that are my own. There are peole who live on the streets who have nothing but what they can carry.

My Extended family. No family is perfect. Mine is definetely not. I'm thanksful that I at least have a family where there are peple who have no family to spend the holdidays with. For that I'm so thankful I have them.

My Religeon. You know at times it seems like it's a hassle and a pain in the butt. Like getting ready for church when you don't feel good. Or going to a ward that is drier that any one I have ever been to. BUT without my religeon I don't know where I would be or who I would be with. I most definetely would not be with Alan and that in itself is a terrbile tragedy that I can't stand the thought of losing. Truth be told I would probably be some messed up girl living on the street. Religeon is a nessesity in life. I don't care who you are.

Those are just the few things I am thankful for. More to come.

Stitches on my head? The worst

So yesterday I went and got a mole taken off of my head. It's been there as long as I can remember, but it has been bothering me and it's really ugly to put my hair up and see a big brown spot on the edge of my hair line. So what do I do? Get it taken off. Doctor said it's prob not cancerous, BUT it is a good thing to take it off just in case. The Result? This .

I had the hardest time sleeping last night because of it. I kept telling the doctor it feels like he gave me a little face lift. He said he was going to give me pain meds, but guess what? I can't take any cause I'm pregnant. Oh goody. So I have to rely on tylenol. Which didn't help might I add. I get the stitches taken out next Friday and I can't wait. I had another mole taken off on my wrist. Little baby one that bugged me. Nothing big. The only thing is the I'm afraid the wash dishes and wash my hair even though the doctor said it was probably good for it to reduce infection.

12 weeks and 3 days

Well Im finally 12 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Nothing new in the pregnancy. Hopefully it'll get more exciting. Some days I feel really pregnant, others I'm still as skinny as I was before. Now figure that one out. Iwant a belly so bad!!! In this picture ( taken last night) I look so pregnant. I let it all out so I wouldn't be cheating. With Kymber I was able to hide my belly till about 5 months or so. It's true when they say you're bigger with your second. I'll prob go to bed one night and wake up with a huge belly. I'll pop overnight I'm sure. It's fun though because alot of my friends are pregnant and I have my sister Anita who is due in January and 2 sister in laws pregnant too. One is due in March and the other just a few day after me.

My sister Anita is having a boy and is naming him Skyler. So hopefully I have a boy so we can share clothes.WE're pretty sure it'll be a boy just because this pregnancy is a little different then my last.Then again maybe it's wishful thinking on Alan's part. He say if it's another girl he's getting another job. Too much estrogen!!! If it's a boy we are going to name him Xander Logan (or Aiden)Albright. If it is a girl we're gong to name her Hazel Marie Albright. After my Grandma Waters. She hates her name ironic ally so Im sure we'll hear about it andbe asked not to use it. But I love the name and so does Alan. So it's final.

Introducing....

Introducing....THE ALBRIGHTS! Leah Rosenbaum Albright. That's me. I didn't get rid of my maiden cause because I'm selfish and the name has gotten me far, not to mention having an uncle that's the Spanish Fork police chief, it's gotten me out of trouble. I'm a proud Albright though.

My cute husband is Alan Albright. Duh. Son and Coach Alan Albright Sr. at Spanish Fork High. So yeah I got stuck with a jock. Not that I'm complaining. He works for Golds Gym and his buddy for Spa Mechanics. In June he is going to go through the police academy and when he's done he'll hopefully work for Lehi Police Dept. after. It's what he really wants to do. I love a man in uniform! Oh and did I mention he's also part of the National Guard? Yes, I love that uniform too. He's such a good husband and does what he can to support his family. And even though Kymber isn't his biological daughter any outsider wouldn't see a difference. He loves her and has does an awesome job as a dad.

My cute little Kymber Noelle. She's 2. Enough said. She's a pretty good two year old although she's a little spoiled and thinks she can get whatever she wants. Which I'm sure is normal. She so smart. I know I'm a biased mom but she's definetely smart for her age if you ever get a chance to talk to her. She is as girly as it gets. Shoes, purses, her baby, makeup..etc. Yes. She is going to be an expensive teenager. Good thing we've already decided our kids can have a job and buy their own stuff.

Last but not least. Myself. I'm a 21 yr. old mother of 1 1/2 kids. Baby due May 21.

We're pretty sure it's a boy. This pregnancy isn't much different than my last other than I'm more hungry. i have boring pregnancies. I'm 12 weeks along and have a tiny belly but not much. In due time I'm sure. We'll find out the sex in December. Ill know the date at my next appointment which is on the 25th of November.

Halloween

I'll post the pictures soon as I find them again!

Halloween this year was way more fun then the last. This year Kymber acually understodd at least a little bit what it was all about. She wanted the little pirate outsit. Thanks to Walmart. Kymber got so excited when she found out that all you had to do is say, "trick or Treat!" and people would give her candy. It was pretty cute at first but now she thinks she still can say it and gets upset when they dont give her candy. I went as an 80's girl. It really was just an excuse for me to load on the makeup!
