Pregnancy update!!

IT'S A BOY!!

My mom & I went to my ultrasound apt December 23rd to find out the gender. Of course I was soooo tempted to look when the ultrasound tech was looking for it. I turned my head and did not peak at all! So proud of myself! Joey was also working that day so it made it easier to not look because I didn't want to find out and him not know. So the ultrasound tech put the ultrasound pics of the baby into an envelope for my mom. She said baby was definitely ready for us to find out haha. 

December 25th (Christmas) We looked at our stockings with the girls and got ready to head over to my parents. I felt like Joey was taking ages to get ready... I was SO ready to leave and find out the gender. Finally, We got to my parents and it was the very 1st gift we opened. We were in Shock... Still am a bit. I pulled out the cute Seahawks onsie my mom bought and thought.. "I better double check" so I looked at the ultrasound. Yup.. definitely a boy!! & Joey's look on his face... priceless :) I've probably watched the video of us finding out at least 10 times. Excited is probably an understatement. 

We would've been just as happy with a 3rd girl, but I think having our first boy made it a little bit more exciting. I've always wanted girls. I absolutely love having girls. But the boy will be fun and different :) Joey said he would be happy with all girls, but I think he is over the moon excited to get his boy. 

A little update on me: 

Right now I am technically high risk pregnancy. I have been for awhile now. So keeping it easy is what I've been trying to do.. but with 2 young kids its almost impossible. 

I recently found out I have a pretty scary case of placenta previa. My doctor seems extra worried about it. I'm hoping the next couple weeks it gets better... if not, I guess I'm scheduling my very first c-section. If it was up to me, I wouldn't have one. But if it will save my life and our little boys... I'll do it. But I'm praying for good news. And I will eventually come to terms with it... as of right now; I have not. But I found out on the 23rd when I went in for the gender apt. But baby boy is doing good and growing a week ahead of schedule with is AMAZING with how much weight I've lost & how tiny I am... so I will take that as excellent news. 

Alleah has been saying brother since the beginning of the pregnancy ... which I thought was so odd. but the past month or so she's been saying its a baby girl. When we told her it was a baby boy she got pretty mad. She still hasn't come to terms and still convinced its a girl, but she will be excited no matter what I am sure. She loves to rub my belly and ask how baby is doing. Raylee just likes to point to my stomach and say baby. These two are going to be such great big sisters. 

I am extremely excited to buy things for our little man and make his nursery of course.... Seahawks... my husbands childhood team. I have to support the husband... its my job right?! haha. I already have the colors and stuff picked out... so I'm excited!

I LOVE feeling him kick!! I felt it around 15 weeks and feel it every day now. It truly is a blessing and the best thing in the world. I absolutely love being pregnant even if this is the hardest pregnancy out of the 3... wouldn't have it any other way :) 

We are so blessed & so incredibly happy :) 

OUR HUGE NEWS

Expecting Baby #3!!


For awhile Joey and I had been talking about trying for another baby. Last year we were thinking about the beginning of 2015, but it just didn't seem right. With me and the girls I felt like some days I was over my head with them and adding another baby into it just didn't seem right. Even though the girls are pretty close in age (20 months), having the 3rd super close to me just sounded really stressful. Then we decided to wait a little bit. Summer seemed like the right time. Finally, Joey and I had a long vacation in Canada in August and we talked about it and it just seemed right.

September we were pregnant :) & so over joyed!!

Alleah is SOOOOO excited. She is constantly asking me about her baby brother. I didn't even tell her I was pregnant yet and she guessed it when I took her into my first ultrasound when I was 5 weeks. after that she talked about it all the time so I decided I had to announce a little earlier.
Raylee doesn't understand completely but she likes to point to my belly and tells me baby.
Alleah will be almost 4 when baby comes & Raylee will be 2 months shy of 2 1/2...  to me that's perfect & they'll be the best big sisters.
Waiting was just for us, and I'm really happy we did.

We told my parents with the girls wearing BIG SISTER shirts.
then we texted the rest of the family :)

We are so excited to bring another little Perry kid into this world. 

Baby #3 is due May 26th. 

3rd Birthday Party

Alleah is THREE!!

June 6th I threw a Classic Princess party theme for Alleah :)

She had a BLAST! Thank you everyone who made her day so fun!

I ordered a castle bouncy house... SO FUN! & since it was super hot we brought out a kiddie pool for the kids. Watching them have so much fun was worth every minute of hard work. 

My mom made the cutest Cinderella cake. We ate snacks and hot dogs. and opened presents. 

Alleah is one loved little girl :)

Catch up :)

What we've been up to!


It has been a long time since I last blogged. Life can get pretty crazy with kids.

Joey and I:
Joey recently stopped working at Chem dry in April.. after somethings that happened it was the right thing to do and he wasn't happy. Now he's working for Dan's Carpet cleaning and he is much much happier. I am taking things easy and loving being a mom. Nothing new except expecting our 3rd child... more on that later. I spend my day with my girls and absolutely love it... hardest job ever. And extremely exhausting. With my me time I'm obsessed with netflix...Obsessed is probably the best way to describe it.

Alleah:
Shes 3 years old and full of sass. She has a fun personality but can also be a diva. She loves to play pretend. Dance. Singing.. like loves to sing and knows alot of words to songs. Spaghetti. Waffles. (not together). Being a princess (Elsa). The Lion King. Daniel Tigers neighborhood. and Paw Patrol. Loves her dad... such a daddy's girl.
Alleah also got glasses not that long ago. She does sooo well with them. With her being 3 years old I was worried she'd even wear them, but that isn't the case at all and I'm so glad. Every morning she puts them on without me even asking her to.

Raylee:
She turns 2 yrs old in 2 months!!! She is a loving little stinker. She can be a little tease one minute and then a sweetie the next. She loves going places. Dancing. Mickey mouse. Technology.. way to much. Juice... such a guzzle guts. She's been potty trained for a couple months now. She's not much of a talker, but she's a smart kid. She loves to be my little helper. She loves loves babies... obsessed.

Alleah is THREE

Our baby girl turned 3 June 1st. She is 26lbs 39in
We had a family get together on her actual birthday. Went to the park with alleahs cousins; morgan, pearl and ingrid. Played for a little bit. And then that evening my family came over and we opened presents, had pizza and cake. Alleah got a bike from us (she's a natural) and a princess Castle from my parents. She was in heaven.
At her party I rented a bouncy house. And put a pool and sprinkler out for the kids to have fun. They were entertained the whole time. We had hot dogs, snacks and ice cold lemonade. Just played, had cake.... mimi made a princess cinderella cake. And opened presents from her friends. She had soooooo much fun. And still talks about her castle bouncy house.
Alleah is a silly kid. She's talking like crazy. And just loves to talk, talk talk. We took her to speech to see if she had any problems and if she was behind since a few people thought maybe she was. So I did it as a piece of mind. And she did GREAT! She's a very energetic kid so doesn't always slow down to talk. But no problems with pronouncing and I am very happy about that. To hear something like that as a mother from someone was heartbreaking, I do want the best for my girls. She LOVES to sing. Her favorite song to sing is wheels on the bus. She will sing that all day long. She even gets a home made microphone.
She can get herself dressed..  which is a life saver for me! She has been potty trained for OVER A YEAR!!! she even got rid of her potty seat on the toilet. She said she's a big girl and doesn't need it. Haha. Whatever works ;)
Her favorite color has to be red. She's obsessed with daddy's red car.
She loves to go shopping with me. Any chance she gets to leave the house. We try and do activities out side of the house at least once a week. Cuz she's so active she gets cabin fever and acts out. So even when her sister is napping, we will bring out the sprinkler or pool and have a great time.
Her favorite food is waffles. She will ask for waffles every meal if I let her. Or spaghettios, fries, and rice... yes she loves plain rice.
She loves Daniel tigers neighborhood, doc Mc stuffins, sophia the 1st, and frozen.
She really likes to tents lately and live in it for the day haha.
She loves her sister, they do get along great. But they still need to learn sharing. Alleah has been doing better with it.
She loves swimming, bath, coloring, dancing, her ipad, her dad, shopping, candy, apple juice, kaya, playing outside, playing pretend, cooking in her kitchen and just being a fun kid.
She is growing up such a fun little girl.
:)

Raylee... catching up :)

Raylee is 17 months old now! Time sure is flying. She is around 32in and 24lbs. She is a fun happy kid. Learning so much!! She can say a few words... bye, hi, papa, momma, dad, food, fries, pizza, poop, bath, shoes, uh oh, baby, all done, what's that, and a few others. She likes babies. Loves babies! Carries around 2 at the same time. She is showing signs of potty training. So we will be trying it out this week :) She tells me when she poops in her diaper. And when she pees she holds her diaper and looks down. Alleah was trained early, so why not raylee? :) plus... NO kids in diapers, so I won't complain.
Lately she has gotten a temper and when she doesn't get her way she will hit. And thinks it's the funniest thing ever.
She loves to chase our dog kaya, both alleah and raylee are easily entertained with her.
She started off absolutely hating the pool. But she's getting used to it. So glad!! This summer would've been tough if she hated swimming.
She loves to watch mickey mouse club house and doc Mc stuffins. Her favorite food is spaghetti, spaghettios, lasagna. Seriously anything with spaghetti sauce. She loves apple juice and chocolate milk.
She broke out in hives a few times and we narrowed it down to something outside or lemonade that she's allergic to. But we can't figure it out.
She loves to dance, loves to try to sing, walk around, bug alleah, brush her teeth, hates getting dressed... struggle everytime, loves shoes and going places..  she will find my truck keys, go to the door.. come to me, kiss me, go to the door and say bye. She likes going outside and playing. She loves the slide. Hates the swimg... screams. Loves park days and just eating the snacks. Dobby is her favorite she calls him "itty". Kaya she calls "pup"
She just is a fun little kid.
Love her to pieces.
Next month she will be 1 1/2 and can go to nursery!! 🙌
