Weekend

I am so glad this its the weekend. This has been such a crazy week at work. I love being busy at work but this week wore me out. I am coming down with a cold so I will be happy for a three day weekend. I am working a health fair tomorrow so I can take off early next Friday to go to Brian Head Utah. Aaron and a group of the agents are going skiing. We finally near the slopes and I am pregnant and cant ski! I am pretty sad about not being able to ski but I am super excited because I am pregnant! I am going to start taking pictures of my belly, there is not much there yet but I am sure there will be something soon. I will 15 weeks tomorrow!

Overwhelmed!

Aaron and I are so excited to be expecting our first child. We have decided to do cloth diapers. We want to be responsible and respectful of the earth while providing good quality products for our child. I am also looking at doing glass baby bottles instead of plastic. I was looking at car seats and strollers today. How does one choose the safest product. I know there are star ratings but how do I know what or who to trust. There are so many companies and products it will be a challenge to pick which ones we go with. I am not complaining in the least it is just overwhelming for a mom-to-be!!! I am excited about coming home in April. That is only chance I will get to see alot of my friends and family before I have the baby! I am showing just a tad. Not really enough to notice much. I am ready for a belly (I think)! I know I will be ready to have a flat belly again as soon as the baby is born but I just want to "look the part"! We also just found out that our dear friends Will and Rebecca are pregnant. This is so much fun and such a blessing. She is only 5 weeks along but it is so nice to have a friend that I spend alot of time with going through the same things. I love being a mom, even though my baby has not been born yet. I love the idea of having someone to love, cuddle, read to, play with and watch develop. I cant wait. Aaron's parents bought us a crib and changing table for Christmas. It arrived yesterday. We will not be setting it up or decorating until we know the sex of the baby. I cant wait. I am so excited to start that part of journey!

Lazy Sunday Afternoons

Yesterday was such a wonderful departure from our "normal" weekend ritual. We went to church online at www.lifechurch.tv. Then we went and got breakfast at one of our favorite spots then I came home and started a 15 bean soup to cooking! We watched Made of Honor and then we ate lunch and discussed our goals for 2009. It was so nice to sit down and talk about our professional goals, our personal goals and our goals as a couple. Then we just lounged around and spent quality time together. It was just a nice relaxing day! I wish I had more of them! But now its back to work and back to a routine!

New Year, New Hope

Well the holidays are over and all of our guests have gone home! It was alot of fun hosting Aaron's parents and my youngest sister Lacy for Christmas. But it was also exhausting!!! I am not used to having to cook and entertain 3 extra people. I guess they are just getting me ready for when baby arrives. We went to the Doctor on the 31st. She used her Doppler(spelling) to hear the baby's heart beat. It was going to so fast. It was so cool. I got tears in my eyes, such a beautiful thing. We find out the sex of the baby on March 2nd. My mom is actually going to be here visiting at the time so she will get to go with us. Still no baby belly just tired and crazy food cravings. I had a dream last night about Fruity Pebbles so I woke up this morning wanting those for breakfast. Needless to say we don't have them on hand at home so I had to settle with something else! Aaron and I are so excited to start this new year and cant believe that in several months we will have a new addtition to our family. It still has not completely sunk in yet that we are having a baby!

Our friend Janzen was in town last night. It was so good to see him. He was one of Aaron's roommates and a groomsman in our wedding. It is always fun to see Aaron get together with his good friends, they alwasy quote movies and act goofy.

I will write more soon and hopefully I can learn how to master posting pictures and getting better at this whole "bloggig" thing!

Family!!!!

So my in-laws are in town now and Lacy will be here in like 9 hours! I am so excited. Every year Lacy and I make sugar cookies and then Aaron has to judge who decorated them the best. I have yet to win! I am going to win this year I just know it. I am pregnant so I will play that card if it means winning the title of "Best Dressed Sugar Cookie". I love family and I love the holidays.

Holidays Make Me Happy

I am still trying to figure out how to work this darned blog thing! I loved to journal in high school and college but have gotten away from it. So I am hoping this can be an outlet for me. I am so excited, Aaron's parents are coming tomorrow and so is my youngest sister Lacy. They will both be here for a week. There will be cooking and laughing and definitely game playing. I love family and I love the holidays. I have almost a week and half off. That will be nice since our new home is still in a state of disarray. On Saturday I will be 12 weeks along. It is still hard to believe that I am pregnant. We are both so excited and I cant wait to have this little baby here. I read about my friends and their experiences with their babies and I am so excited and anxious. I still have a long way to go but I really cant wait! We got about 1o inches of snow at our house last week. Las Vegas has not seen that much snow in 30 years. It was beautiful. When I have some free time I will post some pictures.

2 + 1=3

And baby makes 3! We are so excited to be expecting our first child. I am almost 9 weeks along. We have had our first ultra sound and our little "peanut" is still so tiny. Our families know and they are all very excited for us. Aaron's family wants a girl and mine wants a boy. So we shall see in a couple of months what this little person will be.
