Your thoughts...

(excuse the horrible pic but that was the latest I had of us)

Just for fun, I wanted to know what you think Mr. Knox will look like. According to our 20wk ultrasound, his 3D pic, he looked like a total Tyler. He looked like he had Ty's nose, lips, and his total profile to a "T". I think he has my BIG eyes, poor kid. I'm SO glad he looks like his daddy because he's one good lookin man! hehe...Okay, so what eye color and hair color do you think he'll have???

Ty has the bluest eyes and blonde hair...
I have dark brown eyes and brown hair...

So...

Will Mr. Knox have...

A. Brown eyes, Brown hair
B. Brown eyes, Blonde hair
C. Blue eyes, Brown hair
D. Blue eyes, Blonde hair
E. None of the above


?????

Let me know your thoughts!!! I'll post a new belly pic soon!
We'll find out in 4 wks or maybe even sooner than that! ;D

Baby Bump & Baby Stuff...

Here's the crib. I'll post pics of his room when it's all done.


I LOVE shoes! And I can't wait to put my lil man in these!


I know, I know, I KNOW! I totally got carried away. But how could you not?!! I'm just TOO excited!!!


This was the VERY first thing we purchased when we found out we were preggo!


And for my ever growing belly that I am truely grateful to have...32 weeks! Just 2 MORE months to go! I am reminded everyday how blessed I truely am when my lil man kicks inside me. I KNOW that my Father in Heaven loves me as He does all of His children. A year ago, I thought this day would never come. It was an emotional rollercoaster. One ride I'll never forget! Always wondering why this was such a struggle for me? What lesson I was supposed to learn? Right when I thought that maybe, just maybe, I wasn't supposed to have children. That maybe that just wasn't the life for me. Maybe I was just supposed to go on with life spoiling loved ones and myself. But right when I was about to give up, Heavenly Father had a different plan for me. VERY different! He trusted me, FINALLY, with one of HIS children to raise, to love, and to show him the way back home. What a HUGE committment but what an even BIGGER blessing it has been in my life. Ty and I were sealed in the Idaho Falls, Idaho temple on March 14, 2009. I had such a GREAT experience there and just felt at peace with everything. Like that was HIS way of telling me everything will be okay. We found out we were expecting 2 weeks later on the 30th! He really does answer prayers. Maybe He just wanted Tyler and I to be an ETERNAL family before he'd make it possible for us to have kids? Whatever it was, I am TRUELY thankful! I am SO grateful for the LITTLE things that have made such a HUGE impact in my life. I am reminded always! Keep up the kickin' lil Knox man! I LOVE YOU!!! LoVe, YoUr CrAzY mOmMa

12 WEEKS TO GO!!!

I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going by! Before I know it, lil Knox will be here! I can hardly wait. So today I am officially 7 MONTHS(28 wks)!!! And besides having fat fingers, I feel great! Still no sickness. I have truely been SO blessed thus far. I have to say that glucose test did me in. Fasting then drinking that nasty, sugary, orange drink first thing in the morning just didn't sit too well with me. Not to mention the finger prick! I have not ever had that done before and that was DISGUSTING!!! I about passed out! I know I am a serious wuss when it comes to blood...But I am so proud of myself for making it this far. Serious milestone! Glad I passed that test so NO more blood tests! YIPPEE!!!


And YES...my belly button sticks out! And has been since I was like 3 months along. But what can I say, IT'S A BOY!!! hahaha...and band-aids have become my new bestie!

Say goodbye to the ring...

For now anyways. And yes, I'm still married. My fingers are just getting SO swollen! Especially at night, I can't get the dang thing off. So I have decided to peace with it for now; eventhough, I LOVE my ring!(Ty did a GREAT job picking it out). So if you notice me not wearing it around just know that my marriage is still going strong just the fingers are fat. haha... So sorry girlies, my Ty is still taken.

ok,ok,OK!!!

So I know I told you you'd find out our lil man's name when he's here in November. But I have had SO many people ask me if I have a name picked out. Which I do and I don't and cannot lie. So it makes for a VERY awkward conversation when I tell them I do and just don't tell them what it is. If you know what I mean. So with that being said and knowing that it is going to be a for sure name we have decided who cares if everyone knows already. With that being said I love different names and Tyler likes more common names. With MUCH disagreement on most everything we both came up with. I figured if I find a cute one syllable name it will make it simple and maybe Ty will like it. Little did I know it actually worked! He loved it! SO his name will be...

Knox Bentley Blatter.

(And for those that don't know how to pronounce our last name, it's like "water". So get it right peeps!) And Bentley just sounded freakin awesome with it. And besides, Ty likes Dierks Bentley (& so do I) so how could we possibly go wrong? Glad we were able to come up with an awesome name we BOTH love! Hope you like!

Belly Pics... at 23 weeks!!!

1 week shy from 6 months! Yay!!! My last doctor's app(3 wks ago) I was measuring one week ahead of schedule. And NO I do not eat out! I have eaten a whole lot healthier than I usually do when I'm not prego. And I watch what I eat. I think I'm gonna have a BIG baby! Maybe a chucky monkey or a chubby bunny? Hmmm... We'll just have to see! Not to mention that Ty is 6'2"!!!


Who says prego women can't wear bikinis??!

(Maternity suits are such a waste, not to mention ugly!) My older sister took this pic when we went to Gem Lake. I had no idea until she text me the pic! I was trying to take pics of my brothers who swam out to the sand bar and were attempting handstands! They are too funny! My family is crazy but SOOO much fun!!!

Fun at Blacktail Lake

Summer is my all-time FAVORITE season of the year (atleast it is HERE). Tyler, his brothers, and I love to go boating and all that entails. But due to my pregnancy I am literally and physically "just boating". Ty, the great man that he is, says "no" to me doing any knee boarding, tubing, wakeboarding, and water skiing for a good cause. But hey, I can still jump in the water! I love to swim! That is if the water is warm enough. But I can sacrifice my summer fun this year for our lil man. Totally worth it to me!

This is Ty's brothers, Ryan and Bryce


My Man and I


Bryce and Ty tubing together. How cute! hehe...


I'm seriously surprised the rope did not break.

It was definitely a fun trip! Thanks for the laughs! Until next time...

FINALLY!

We are having a...

BOY!!!
(This is such a weird pic. Obviously the arrow points to his "Manhood").


Profile pic!


His spine!


And for my MOST favorite pic of all! Our "lil man" in 3D! So neat! And he's even smiling! Looks like we have one happy lil guy! This is just SO precious! It was such a great experience to be able to finally find out what we are having. I really haven't got emotional up to this point. But this ultrasound did me in. Just seeing our lil man moving around, all his organs going to town, and to see that first hand was just amazing. We have been so blessed to have this child and a very healthy one at that! We are both SUPER excited! Like I said, "Every girl needs an older brother." haha... And no worries he's been named for 3 wks now! You'll find out when he's here!!!

So Sweet...

This last sunday (Father's Day) Ty and I had the oppurtunity to go to EIRMC (Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center) to get an ultra-sound. Luckily Tyler's mom is a Labor and Delivery Nurse there and was able to sneak us in to see if we could find out what we're having. But of course, the dang cord was in the way! But it was SO neat to see the baby moving and all. And we got a good pic of it's profile. Good lookin so far! The baby was sucking it's thumb!! It was SO cute and crazy that you could see it actually sucking! It definitely took after it's momma on that one. My parents said I was sucking my thumb in my ultra-sound too. Not to mention I sucked my thumb until the 5th grade. And immediately stopped once the dentist cemented spikes to my back mulars. Definitely a fun horrible habit to break let me tell ya. But it was SO neat to witness that! I am now 17 wks along and feeling great. Maybe my mother-n-law can sneak us in again this sunday? Eventhough we didn't find out what it is, still so comforting to know that our baby was doing great, healthy, and had all it's ligaments. Ty thinks it's a boy. I think it's a girl. But we'll find out at our next doctor's app in 3 wks if not before! Can't wait to know!!! Ta Ta for now...

The latest...

We went to my doc's app this past weds for my 4 wk check-up. I was so glad Ty was able to be there. He's been working crazy hours lately and not able to go to the previous 2. So anyways, Ty was SO excited when he heard the heart beat. It was neat! But I have to go in in a couple wks for more blood work (which disgusts me like nothing else) because last time the results showed that the thyriod part was off. And to make sure there's no complications with the baby. Lucky me! And I was hoping to hint what I was having but of course they didn't take me in the ultra-sound room this time! And since I went in this time at 14 wks and they like to do the ultra-sound at 20 wks to find out the sex of the child... Yes, I have to wait 6 MORE killer weeks! Am I happy? Not really. I just want to know already! It's killing me!!!
