The Strasser's

Well I have been trying to keep busy. Trying not to get sick. There have been some days were I just feel really nauseated and tired, and there are others were I am not. I have busy trying to keep the apartment cleaned, the books, and trying to make Alyssa feel better. I am going to have to buy maternity clothes here pretty quick, Cory had thought I had more. Plus I need some summer maternity clothes. I have been taking a parenting class with some the ladies in the stake. I have learning some new stuff each time I go. I am really waiting for the class called "thumb suckers, & toilet training". Just because Alyssa is a thumb sucker, and we are having problems trying to get her potty trained. There is a link on the blog called "Mom's & Muffins". So that's basically what I have been up to!

Lately Alyssa has been sick. She has a cough, runny nose, sneezing, and water eyes. So she has basically just been sitting down/laying down, either wanting to read or watch movies. Some of the things she has been liking to do lately is: She likes to pat on her back, Cory's back, and my back, and say "K". Asking if we are all right. She has been wanting lots of baths with bubbles. She loves to go outside.

Well Cory is almost done with his winter term. Than he only has one term left. He has been trying to apply to jobs. He had a interview yesterday with a investment company. There a couple of company's that he would like to work for. He's going to visit one of the company's, hopefully over spring break. He's been VERY busy with school, with a few papers, and projects.

So I have posted pictures of our new edition. I have had a couple of people ask how I feel about having a boy. It will be really new experience. I was hoping for another girl. But there is really nothing that I could do. I do hope I get another girl though in the future. But having a boy will be really fun. I know that means I will have to buy a whole new bunch of clothes and stuff. I am hoping to get a new outfit for the baby pretty soon. So it will be the first outfit. I was told by one of the girls in the parenting class, that boys clothes are fun to shop for now, because they have become more cute. I am excited about this baby. It will give Alyssa someone to play with. So when we went and had the ultrasound done. Alyssa kept pointing at the screen saying baby. So we were asking about billing for the ultrasound. We found out how much the ultrasound is going to cost us, $407. And now that we know it's a boy, there's the circumcision. We will have to see how much that'...
