New Home and Baby

So, it's been forever since I have written. We finally got into the new house in Oklahoma City on June 13. The house is beautiful and I love it! I wish Bryan could be living here with us, but that can't happen right now. Bryan has been to visit us numerous times, so that has been nice.

Our new little girl, Sydney, will be arriving on Sept 25th, 10 days from now. I am so excited to meet her and see what she looks like. Shelby is getting excited too, she has been drawing pictures for Sydney lately. I keep telling her Sydney will be coming soon; she is so tired of waiting. I have been feeling pretty good lately, considering. I have actually been able to sleep the last couple of nights, so that helps.

Jessica threw a surprise baby shower for me this past Sunday, it was a lot of fun. I had no clue. We went to Bellini's for brunch, it was tasty! I got some cute outfits, a baby blanket, a gift certificate, diapers, and a candle. Amanda, Paisley, Elaine, Pam, Vicki, and Aimee were all there. The shower was a good time, I will post some pix up soon.

Shelby started dance and gymnastics this past week. She was so excited to be out of the house and meeting new friends. She looked so cute in her leotards. She liked making noise with her tap shoes too. I think she enjoyed herself a little more at gymnastics because it isn't as structured as dance. It's hard for her to sit still.

Well, guess that's all for now. I will post pictures of the baby as soon as she arrives. XOXO

New House

Wow, it's been a while! Well, I finally moved back to Oklahoma. Crazy, I know. On Friday Shelby and I moved into our new house and I am loving it. I just wish Bryan could be here already! I will take pictures of the house soon for everyone to see.

I had another ultrasound yesterday and the kidney problem she has has gotten worse. We have to monitor the fluid in her kidneys every month to see how things are progressing. Hopefully everything will work itself out, not alot we can do about it. Thankfully her measurements, heart, bladder, etc. are all fine. We decided to name her Sydney Claire Trulson in case you didn't know yet. I think Sydney and Shelby are perfect names for our girls.

So right now Shelby and I are missing Bryan like crazy. He is at a school in Virginia right now, very busy. He will be visiting us the weekend of the 4th of July.

That's all for now, hope to see everyone in Oklahoma soon!

Weekend

So this weekend was fabulous! My old roommate from Germany, Angie, came to visit us from Phoenix. On Friday night we went to eat at The Melting Pot, still not impressed with it, except for the chocolate. Yummy! On Saturday we slept in, then went to lunch, and then to the Albuquerque Isotopes (haha!) minor league game. It was so much fun, except for Bryan's constant gas. (He cleared 3 rows of people!) And the Isotopes actually won the game against the Nashville Sounds. After the game they had fireworks that were pretty good. We woke up this morning and went to eat at Cracker Barrel, took Angie to the airport, and then went to this pottery painting place. Shelby had gotten a gift certificate for her birthday so Bryan and I painted to platters and Shelby painted a fish and a turtle. The weekend went by so fast, but we had such a good time. I can't wait to go visit her in Phoenix next.
I am now 16 weeks as of yesterday, and I feel like I gained 5 pounds just this weekend. As stated above, we ate out all weekend. I am now getting to the point where maternity clothes are a MUST, and I don't have that many yet. Stupid me got rid of everything I had from Shelby. We weren't planning on having anymore, remember? So I have to buy clothes and baby stuff all over again, and I had really cute stuff before. :(
Anyways, I will be moving to Oklahoma in 4 weeks now. I am really excited to be with my family and friends again, but sad to leave Bryan here. I wish he could get out of the military now and come with us. It just won't be the same! We plan on seeing each other atleast once a month while we are apart. Shelby will really miss her daddy too! Well, I will go for now. See you Okies soon.

J-O-B

Just so you are all aware, I am in desperate need of a job in May. I will be moving to OKC, so if any of you in the area know of something, PLEASE let me know. I can also send you my resume. Thanks.

Changes

Wow, I am so excited to write my first blog. I thought this would be the best way to keep our family and friends up to date on all the excitement of the Trulson Clan. First, Shelby turned 3 yesterday. I can't believe it; time has flown by so fast! She has become this assertive, independent, polite, silly, stubborn little girl that I fall in love with more everyday. We are also expecting Trulson Spawn #2 at the end of September. None of us expected that one, but we are very excited! Luckily, I have only gained 7 lbs. up to this point, which is GREAT considering I gained a whopping 70 lbs with Shelby. (Not happening again!) We are currently still in the land of BROWN (New Mexico). Just imagine all the ugly crayons in the crayon box and WELCOME TO NEW MEXICO! I am leaving the Air Force after 8 years in May and will be moving back home to OKLAHOMA. Never thought I would say that! After 8 years of being away from family and friends and having my own children, I realize just how much I miss and need home. Fortunately, I have a husband that loves my family and friends too, and is willing to move to a state with no ocean or mountains. Unfortunately, Bryan won't be able to move with us. He will be stuck in the Dirt State for another year, will deploy for 6 months, and then he will seperate from the Air Force and join us. Wow! My mother, the angel she is, will be letting Spawn #1 and I live with her until October, at which time we will be purchasing a home in Oklahoma. So many changes in Trulson life in the next few months! It's a little overwhelming and exciting at the same time. Well, I will try to keep up with the blog atleast once a week. Stay tuned...
