Half way there...

So, we are finally half way thru the wait to meet our lil' baby. Actually a little more than half (22 weeks now) We went to the doctor Monday, and everything is going great. I don't know why, but going to the doctor makes me nervous. Chris was able to go with me this time- which helps my anxiety level drop a ton. Its not like he can do anything besides sit next to me. Its just having his support there with me that is so nice. The part I do love about going, is hearing the heart beat! Which was strong and "exactly as it needs to be" as the doc put it.
Things are all good for us this week! Busy busy busy- as always! :) Hopefully things are all good for you as well!

Rain Rain go away!

Memorial Day weekend... did it really have to rain all weekend long? We went to the cabin Saturday evening-Monday afternoon. It rained and rained, and then SNOWED! but we still had lots of fun riding in the ranger, and playing with Abigail and baby Norman! It is so nice to go somewhere that makes it so you have no choice but to relax. There is always so much to do at home, it was fun to go play. I don't have any pictures-due to the rainy, muddy, snow mess, I left my camera at the cabin because I was more focused on finding my gloves to go outside and play. It sure was fun though!

ITS A BOY!

**IT'S A BOY!**

Chris and I went to the doctor yesterday for the first ultrasound, and found out ITS A BOY! We are going to have a little Christopher! It was so much fun to see him. He was wiggling around like crazy. That made it hard for the doctor to measure him, but he was finally able to and the doc said everything looked perfect-that was so fun to hear! We are so excited to meet our little guy!
The whole day was so much fun for Chris and I. Chris actually took a day off work (that was the first time this year!) and we just played all day. After the ultrasound we both spent a little bit of time calling our parents and siblings to tell them the news. Then we went to breakfast and the mall, running errands, home for a few minutes for some lunch, then off to play again! It was so much fun! We decided it should be enforced that people take days off once in while- a break is so NICE!

APRIL. ...come and gone.

So, another month..hmm...
Lots has happened for Chris and I. Chris finished school for the semester. Which means he is done with two of his four years of Electrical school. YAY!
We have been to a couple more doc appointments and everything is going well! The heartbeat is strong and perfect! Chris and I just wish that there was a way to get thru the summer a little bit faster because we are SO excited to meet this little baby! Then all at the same time I can not believe it only takes the time it does for a new little human being to be completely formed and able to come into the world. It hardly is seeming like enough time for me to truly get it into my head that this is really real-- I am going to be a MOM! I feel like there is so much to do before this baby comes!
What is there to do? Well first of all finish unpacking my house. Chris and I moved for any of you that didn't already know that. We moved the first weekend of May. We are living in my parents old home-(they moved). We are loving being in Draper-it means I am SOOOOO CLOSE to work. That makes it nice when its time to head home- no more 45 minutes in traffic and construction. Life is like a blur to me- its crazy and wonderful!

I stink at blogging!

Yes i know! I suck at updating this silly thing. The problem is- hahaha (here comes the blame game) that I love reading about everyone elses life. So many of our friends and family members have such cute, interesting and even down right hilarious posts on their blogs that I spend all my time reading others posts. Then suddenly I realize how much time has passed and I have to get busy doing one of the other million things that are on my to do list for the day. So, I blame all of you that I know that have cute blogs for making it so I dont update mine more often. If you didnt write such fun things I wouldnt have to visit your blogs, and I would just attend to mine. So HA! its not my fault! hahahaha

APRIL! can you believe it is spring already?

It is Spring? Then why is it still snowing? We wake up to over 6 inches on the cars? THIS IS APRIL! QUIT SNOWING. I wish I was going to Hawaii this week. I want to lay on a beach!

So, I have basically done a overview of the year till now so now I just need to remember to update this. I will try my best. Chris is going to read what I have written and probably call me a geek for writing what I did. Then he will remind me of a million other things that I could have posted about. Oh well. What has happened so far this month?
Whats new? Well my parents are moving to a new house on south mtn. It is beautiful. They have all new furniture. ...Yes, I am a tad jealous. It has an AMAZING view of the valley. They will be moving in (hopefully) the second weekend of April. Chris and my family are working on the finishing touches this weekend, while I am at work.
Chris is done with school for the semester at the end of this month. That should mean that he is studying, but he hasnt done a whole lot of that yet. I guess he figures he will later or something. We (chris and I) are really good at putting work second and fun first. Hopefully he gets enough tiem to study before the test. That is one part I dont miss about school-the finals.

Last night Chris and I went and saw the movie "21". We both really liked it. We were reminded why we love watching movies at home though. I wanted a drink. That will be 4.50. Popcorn 5.00 candy 4.00. It was just insane to me that it has gotten that expensive. Then we get into the theatre and end up with this group of high school or younger kids next to us. That shouldnt have been a problem its not like they are not old enough to sit still for two hours. Well, WRONG! they climed over us like 6 times. (we were sitting on the end) Is it impossible for them to tie the bathroom trip into the snack trip as well? For this group the answer is yes. The girl right next to me sat texting on her blackberry the whole time. My problem with this is A: She has a blackberry and was maybe 15. Why in the heck does she need that much phone. Is she running her own business or something? That would be the only reason I see necessary for her to have internet access at all times. Problem B. The screen is fairly big on her phone and bright, and she is not even trying to sheild the light from it. I wouldnt care if she got it out to glance at time, or send a message once. But, she was actively texting thru the ENTIRE MOVIE. It became funny to me. She wasted 8 bucks to sit at a show she didnt watch. She could have just stayed home and talked to whoever it was. Well, I think thats about enough ranting about that.

MARCH! finally... March 3rd at 3:30.

WE ARE HAVING A BABY!

Chris and I are Going to be DADDY AND MOMMY

and we are so excited we can hardly even stand it!

and this day was the first Dr. appointment. So, we get there. Sign in, and begin the wait. Waiting waiting ....thats that part that sucks about being one of the last appointments. You have to wait for them to catch up from all the other appointments that have either taken longer than anticipated or for the people that showed up late and threw the whole day of scheduling off. Finally the nurse calls me back to a litte room and says the Dr. will be in shortly. WAITING AGAIN. Another long while has passed and the dr. shows up. We talk, she answers tons of questions for me. Then we got the hear the heart beat! That was something that was so crazy. First we could hear mine...she explains that is the slower one as we hear another one that is much faster. THAT IS A BABY! OH WOW----suddenly the few mornings afternoons and nights that I have seen my meals come back up are not so bad. That sound is a little miracle growing in side of me. No, I didnt cry, but its a sound that definitely could trigger that. Chris and I are so incredibly excited to be parents!
The rest of the month--- work work work. Not much to tell. I have not been sick very often. till the last week of the month. But not like really sick, more tired than anything.
Chris has been an amazing sport. There has been lots of sitting home watching tv nights rather than out and about. He makes me dinner and lets me just lay on the couch while he takes care of me. He is so wonderful!
