Getaway

One more month until I am back in Idaho! Besides seeing all of my family, I think I am more excited for my momma's cooking. There is nothing else like dinner at my parents house. The food is always amazing and the atmosphere is loud and crazy. You have no idea how much I miss the craziness. My house is way too quiet. I can't wait to see all my nephews and nieces. It's crazy how much they change in only a couple of months. Overall I am just excited to go home. I love running away to Idaho. It's a nice getaway from the city life. We have a lot of fun things planned while I am home. My sister's wedding, going to Bear Lake to our cabin, and baby shopping. Come to think of it, this is my first summer not going to the lake since I was little. It's really sad but I am glad we get to go for a couple days while we are there. Hopefully July goes by quick because I am ready to go home and see family. Best thing in the world.

Happy 4th!

Happy independence day everyone! I love the fourth of July. BBQ, family, and fireworks. It doesn't get much better then that. This year is very different for me. I'm used to being home and going to the Dayton parade and camping out on the lawn near Utah State to watch the fireworks with the fam. Today I will be enjoying fireworks on the beach and grilling with the hubby. :) There are a lot of activities going on in the area. I am anxious for Andrew to get home from work so I can go enjoy them. There is nothing better then carnival food. Caramel apples, funnels cakes, and cotton candy. My mouth is just watering from the thought of all the food I will be enjoying tonight. Probably not the wisest of all choices to go eat all that greasy food with a stomach that can't seem to make up its mind, but I am willing to risk it. I am looking forward to the fireworks the most tonight. Cuddled up next to hubs on the beach. We even bought our own fireworks so after the show is done, we get to light off ours. Its going to be a fun filled night. I hope everyone has a fun safe 4th.

One down, two more to go!

I have been neglecting my blog lately. I can't use the excuse of being busy because I haven't. I had to quit my job with West Marine because working around the cleaners and battery acid is harmful to the baby. My life consists of staying at home and being a good wife to my husband. I am finally in my second trimester. I am not as sick as I used to be. I still have my bad days but being sick is a good sign so I'm not complaining. My pants are getting tighter and I cannot stand wearing jeans. Leggings are my new best friends. They are comfy and classy. I can wear them throughout my whole pregnancy so that is a plus. I keep putting off maternity clothes. I need to get a couple pair of jeans but that can wait for a couple more weeks. Well I probably should stop procrastinating and go grocery shopping. I feel really good today so I probably shouldn't waste it sitting around all day. Days like these seem hard to come by now a days.

We're having a baby!

I got this cute idea from a friend to track my pregnancy every week so I can watch my stomach get bigger. I want to compare my pictures and blogs to my next pregnancy. As of right now I am 11 weeks and 4 days. I have only gained 2 pounds and it is all going to my stomach. Some of you might not notice a difference but I do. I thought 15 sounded like a good number, so I will start posting pictures around then and really start tracking my pregnancy. Andrew and I first found out we were pregnant just a couple days after my birthday (April 30). We were both a little worried because I was taking birth control the first month. When I found out I could not wait to tell my mom. She ordered my dress for my sister's wedding just a week before I found out, so I thought it would be a good idea to tell her to cancel the order while she could because there was no way I would be able to fit in a size 4 dress, 5 months pregnant. I have been really sick these last few weeks but I only have to endure a couple more weeks of morning sickness. :) I did not expect to be sick this much but it is all worth it. I have really good sense of smell so doing dishes and cooking have been out of the question. Andrew has been really helpful doing the dishes and cooking. I don't have any weird cravings yet, but I do crave cheesy potatoes and cookies n creme ice cream. We do have our names picked out already. I have an idea in my head on what I want to do for both genders. I am really excited. If its a girl it will be Avery Rae and Trevin for a boy. I'm not sure on the middle name for Trevin yet. It will either be J or Jeff because I want to name him after my dad, so we will wait until we find out the gender until we make the decision. They are both different names but I don't want names you hear everyday. I like unique and different. We find out the sex right before we come home so I am really excited to give my family the news in person. We have been so blessed and we are really excited to be parents. :)

Rumors...

It has been so long since I've blogged. So many things have happened since the last time I have been on. Andrew and I decided it was time to move into a house so we found a really cute house with a huge backyard. We were in need of a yard for our dogs, so it has been really nice being able to let them out and not have to worry. We love our new home and we do not plan on moving until we pcs out of Florida. Hopefully that is a while out because I HATE moving. Today was a very special day for me and Andrew. We went to the hospital and had our first ultrasound. To put an end to the rumors, yes we are having a baby! :) My baby is due Janruary 6. We might have a new years baby..... We are all really excited and I cannot wait to meet my little one. Hearing the heart beat for the first time was the greatest thing in the world. There are no words to explain it. I only wanted family to know until we knew the baby was healthy and developing right. We got an A+ from my doctor today. We have been so blessed and I can't wait for what is to come.
