Bees Game!!!

We went with my fam to a bees games a couple weekends ago! We love going to the bees games and thought we should start early since I probably won't be able to sit through many more as my pregnancy progresses. We had a lot of fun, even though the bees lost.

Crys and I always have a little too much fun when our cameras come out!

Experience in Parenting and Double Digits

We had quite the eventful day at church yesterday. Me and Phi teach nursery every other week and yesterday was our week. Everything started out great! All the kids came in without tears and were playing revently and sharing, i thought we had it made...i spoke too soon. We were getting ready for snack time and out of nowhere one of our little girls threw up and it was a lot of throw up. i panicked and ran for her dad and by the time i got back two of the other girls were in hysterics crying and signing for their mothers, etc. Poor Nephi didn't know what to do or how to comfort all the crying children with throw up everywhere. Well the nursery shares walls with the relief society room and so the moms heard their children screaming and came to their rescue, i am pretty sure they thought that we were neglecting their children. i was blown away that phi sucked it up and cleaned all the throw up up himself, that is so not like him. So all the parents took their children away from nursery accept for one girl who wasn't crying. Phi said that we failed at our crisis management, i hope the parents don't think we are completely incompetent. All i have to say is that i am grateful our little girl is only one baby, because clearly i couldn't handle much more than that!

Speaking of our baby, we are down to the double digits until she gets here. if you can't tell i am a little anxious for her arrival only 98 days to go...or less hopefully...i can wish right? We have been trying to clean house to make room for one more. Her bedroom is currently our office, storage, and everything else room and trying to clear it out has been quite a headache. We have her crib and bedding and i am dying to set it all up and get decorating, but i need the space to do it first. i am going a little crazy with bows, headbands, beanies and all the cute baby girl accessories but man are they pricey, anybody who wants to teach me how to make them myself would be more than welcome. i don't have an ounce of craftiness in me. sorry no pics today i will take picks of her nursery as it comes together but that could be a while and belly pics will be coming soon. We are both definitely growing!

Pregnancy Update

Here I am at exactly 23 weeks! It feels like I have exploded in the last couple of weeks it is crazy. I am really enjoying this stage of pregnancy. I am (at least I hope) no longer in that awkward stage where I just look like I am letting myself go and finally look like I am carrying a baby. I have had people that didn't know I was prego asking me when I was due and I love that it is clear I am pregnant! I am feeling great and have a hearty appetite to say the least. I am slightly concerned that my little girl is going to come out with a cookie addiction because I have not been able to help myself lately (dang those girl scout cookies)...I swear I am still trying to eat healthy for the baby though! I feel her kick every day and I absolutely love it. Last week at church she had hiccups during sacrament and it totally made me laugh. We have ordered her crib which should be here anyday and I have her bedding which is absolutely adorable. I am doing her room in pink and green, assuming I can ever find enough space to clear out her bedroom which is currently being used as our storage/office...the joys of a two bedroom apartment! I know once her crib gets here I am going to be dying to get it all set up so I better get a move on her room. I cannot believe March is practically gone but I am not complaining I want the months to fly by until she gets here. I am already looking forward to being able to sleep on my stomach again, this sleeping on your side thing just doesn't cut it for me. I wake up every couple hours needing to reposition, I guess my body is just gearing me up for what my nights will be like once she gets here. Things really are going great with us right now. I am so looking forward to the warmer weather, I complain about living in Logan a lot but I must say I absolutely love being here in the summer. They have so much going on it is a blast!

IT"S A.....

GIRL!!!!! We had our ultrasound this morning and found out we will be having a little girl. I was so excited. I secretly was hoping it would be a girl and Phi and me both thought it was a girl, but hearing that she really was a girl was just so overwhelming. It is amazing how much love I already have for this little girl, I can't wait to meet her. I was so relieved to see that she looked healthy and great and everything was right where it should be. When the ultrasound tech was doing the 3d profile pics she had her fist up to her chin and was pulling the thinking pose with the furrowed brow. It was so cute. I was way mad though cuz after I got home I realized they never printed off the pic for me and it wasn't on my Cd. She is a such a doll! Ever since I heard the news my mind is racing with pink thoughts and all the things I need/want to shop for I need to be careful I don't go overboard! Here are some pics of me at 20 weeks. I am not exactly happy about the way I look and I definitely don't have the cute preggers basketball in front, but this is more for my record so I figured it needs to be on here. I have started feeling movement and little kicks and it is so much fun. I could sit and feel her all day long! I am so grateful for the chance that we have to be parents...I can't wait!

love day

I haven't posted in way too long. Pregnancy update: I have pretty much been sick for the last three months. Everyone told me once I hit my second trimester I would feel great, well unfortunately I don't. I am now 18 1/2 weeks and while I am definitely feeling better and much less nauseous, I am still sick at nights and food is still not my friend. Exhaustion has set in and it takes about all I've got to make it through the day, i feel like a total wimp. However, despite the nasty symptoms I couldn't be more thrilled to be welcoming our little one this July. We find out on March 2nd what we are having and I am seriously dying. Waiting until 20 weeks is pure torture! I am carrying low and wide so if old wives tales mean anything, I know they don't, then I will be having a girl! I will be sure to let everyone know as soon as I find out I can't wait. I promise to put up pics soon I will try and get phi to take a side shot of me. I feel like I am huge, but everyone else doesn't see much!



Our Valentine's weekend was a blast. The celebrations started early for me with flowers delivered to my work from Phi. I was blown away and so excited. They were some really pretty tulips. Crys came up to Logan on Friday night and we watched the opening ceremony of the olympics, I freakin love the olympics! Then saturday we made yummy sugar cookies. It was my first time ever making valentine's sugar cookies and surprisingly they turned out great. Of course we had a lot of fun making and decorating them. We came up with some pretty frightening faces for our cookies but we did make some cute ones. We said goodbye to Crystal and ended the day watching Made of Honor. Sunday we were in nursery with the little ones and then we came home and had a heart-shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's, chocolate dipped strawberries, and martinelli's sparkling cider. We enjoyed spending the day together. It was a fabulous Valentine's Day!

Top 9 in 09

Okay so I decided to do a post of the top things that happened to us in 2009! I am always really bad about recaping the previous year so I am going to be on top of it this time! These are in no particular order just how I remember them chronologically. Here we go:

1. Our spring break trip to Southern California! It was a spur of the moment trip and we had so much fun. We stayed in Santa Ana and were only like 10 minutes from Newport beach. I hope we can go back soon.

2. May was an exciting month for us. I graduated from USU with a bachelors of science in social work 3. we went on a trip with Phi's dad to Kansas City Missouri to visit his extended family and we got to see Kevies while we were there 4. we celebrated our 2 year anniversary with a fabulous dinner at the Melting Pot if you have never been you are missing out!

5. In June we moved into our beautiful new apartment that we have absolutely love. It was a much needed upgrade with w/d hookups, central air, and covered parking!

6. I am combining number six into our October outings with family and friends. My fam came up for the annual north logan pumpkin walk which def did not disappoint this year, I absolutely love it! We also went to our traditional Frightmares at Lagoon with friends and had a blast there as well. October was a lot of fun!

7. The next three bring us to December. What a wonderful month this past December was. On the 4th of December we found out we would be welcoming a new addition into our family in the form of a baby due to arrive July 20, 2010 this was def the #1 of 2009! 8. Kevies came home from serving an honorable mission in Independence Missouri on December 23rd. 9. Christmas with the whole fam for the first time in a very long time. Despite the fact that I was sicker than sick, having everyone together really made this Christmas special. No gift is greater than family!

I hope you all enjoyed 2009 as much as I did! I am very excited to see what 2010 has in store!

Coming Soon

So I figure it is time for a little update...it has only been two months since my last post! I will be making another post soon to cover Kevies coming home and Christmas, along with pics, but this post is to announce that we are having a baby and baby s will be here July 20th of 2010. We are absolutely thrilled that we have been blessed with the chance to be parents, we have been waiting for this baby for a long time. I am 11 weeks along and sick as can be. I didn't know what nausea was until I became pregnant and it only seems to be getting worse. Food has become my enemy...all food literally. Forcing myself to eat is a struggle but I want baby s to get enough nutrients. We had our first appointment around 10 weeks and we got to see our little one and things look great! I am hoping the sickness thing is coming to an end, but I will endure whatever I need to to get baby s here healthy and safe. More updates to come!
