The Announcements

I did it again.

I threw out my back. 

This is the second time this pregnancy that I have done this. I'm guessing I should be happy that I have this instead of the endless morning sickness a couple of friends of mine are enduring... at the moment however, I'd take the porcelain throne.

Before I knew the exact moment, however, this time one day it eventually just got worse and worse and then I ended up rolling out of bed  the next morning begging Steve to take a sick day so I could lie motionless on the couch. 

I did end up mustereing up enough energy to make the twist, grab my phone, and call the Chiropractor which by the way is fabulous!  Eastview Family Chiropractor with Dr. Erlandson.   Highly recommend him.

Anyways, the Doctor did his work, Steve is in charge of Rylee all day, and I have orders to lay low with no physical activity so I'm catching up on work and those videos that I wrote about yesterday in my post.  

So here are the remainder of the videos of us telling our family of the beautiful baby that I love so much even though he's literally a pain in my back.

Announcing to Ab and Ryan.

We just celebrated Rylee's 1st birthday at our house with all our friends and were cleaning up right as a big storm came.  Heather who is holding Rylee new we were pregnant b/c I had to mysteriously miss out on her birthday party.  I LOVE Abby's confused look in the background :)

Announcing to Mom and Dad

I found this idea on pinterest.

Get it?

Frame of us - WE

The letter R - ARE

Jar of Prego - Prego aka Pregnant.

I thought it was a very cute idea.  Turns out it was a little hard for people to catch onto.  We told my Mom and Dad this way along with Beth and Scott (Steve's brother and wife).  Scott refused to be "uploaded" to the internet and Steve has us telling Beth on his phone so I don't have those videos. 

I personally 2 things about Mom's video.  1. The fact that she made fun of the photo I was giving her in the "gift" for Mother's Day. and 2. Her reaction.    Dad on the other hand just didn't quite ever really catch on :)

Announcing to Rick and Iris

This was my favorite way to tell someone we were pregnant.  However, Rylee didn't quite play along as planned. In fact, Iris was probably getting annoyed with us with how we persisted to have Rylee show them her belly.  See, on her belly which you can kind of see, we wrote "Mommy's pregnant!"  This was perfect timing as she was just learning at this time where her belly button was and was obsessed with showing it off.  Turns out she is obsessed with a certain duck even more.

That's it.  That's all of the videos.  I love looking back at them and I can't believe how much Rylee has changed!!
