WIN-CO and baby Wheeler

Winco is seriously one of my favorite stores.... if you've never heard of it, picture this: Costco and Walmart had a baby, and that baby's name is Winco. We had one in Oregon growing up and I have no idea if this is how they got their name or not, but we always thought it stood for Washington-Idaho-Nevada-California-Oregon.... and now, Utah can be added to the bunch (Winco'u (we made it a Hawaiian name... haha)). The best part about Winco is that because they are a Western states-based store, they carry lots of dairy products from Tillamook.... which means Tillamook ice cream!! Ben said that Blue Bell carries the best ice cream even though I am the ice cream expert in our family and so we just HAD to buy Tillamook.... and I think his vote has changed :) If you're out here, go try some... it is seriously so good! (and fattening.... which is probably why it is so dang good!)

While we we there, I got a watermelon (I've decided that if I were stuck on a deserted island and could only have one food on that island, I would get watermelon). While I was putting it in the cart, Ben said, "Trina, go put it back!" I was really confused why and he basically said that we only needed one watermelon so I should put the one under my shirt back..... Jerk. But it was pretty funny. And no, I don't think that I look like I have a watermelon under my shirt.... maybe a small cantaloupe....

Last appointment, we found our little squirt is going to be a boy! We also found out that my due date is pushed back.... only a week but still! So that puts me right at 20 weeks....The same thing happened to my friend who's about 2 months ahead of me and her doctor pushed her due date back a whole month! So I guess I can't complain too much.... actually, I don't think I can complain at all. So far (knock on wood) this pregnancy has been SO easy, I love it! I think there was something in the water at work because there was 4 of us girls at work pregnant at the same time and after watching them/hearing their stories, I'm super blessed.... I think I've thrown up a total of 3 or 4 times (definitely not more than 5). The nausea part stunk but as soon as I realized that if I ate something, it'd go away, I was fine. The only thing that is annoying is that I'll get mad really easy and then start crying cuz I feel so bad for being a jerk.... until I saw my friend get really mad over a really small thing and then all of a sudden just start BAWLING. She seriously couldn't stop for 30 minutes.... So basically, everything in this pregnancy is going pretty easy! :)

Oh! And I thought of a name (McKay Kalilimoku Wheeler) .... Ben was iffy at first but now he likes it. The only thing is he's saying it's not a first-child type of name..... Um, I'm sorry. I didn't know there were certain first-child names you needed to use so if anyone has that book, could I borrow it? :)

One more thing! Should we do a pregnancy class at the hospital? I'm on the fence with that one....

It's a .......

k.... So the doctor told me that I'm not as far along as he thought I was so the baby isn't as far along as we thought I would be. As far as we can tell it looks like our first is going to be a boy!!!! We're super stoked and now you know!!!!!!!

Blue or Pink?

Actually.... Ben and I were hoping for a puppy but instead it looks like we're going to have a ....




ok, I can't put it up here yet because I've been waiting for Ben to call the rest of his family and let them know before everyone else reads about it but Ben hasn't called yet..... so yes, Lauren, expect a call tonight :)


Isn't there some kind of unwritten blog rule about this stuff? I don't know.... but here's a hint: I have NO IDEAS for baby names yet!!
