The past few weeks!

These last few weeks have been relatively uneventful. We have a few new developments, but for the most part, life has carried on as usual. Everything is still going as planned with little weave. He's getting big in there and has been moving around like crazy for the past month or so. I love it! I used to think I would feel like there was an alien in there when I started to feel him move, but I definitely don't! It's my favorite thing! Chris loves it too! He obviously can't feel him as often as I do because he's not right with me all the time, but he loves to lay on our bed and wait for him to hop around! Being pregnant has been a really neat experience so far!

In other baby news... I have finally decided to go ahead and buy a dang crib! I have been stressing over the stupid thing for months now and can't take it anymore, I had to make a decision. The crib I am going with isn't what I had originally envisioned for my nursery, but I really do like it and I think it will end up being perfect. My mom and I are going to tackle the bedding as soon as the crib comes so hopefully it's done before the baby arrives! Like I said, it's a little more contemporary than what I pictured at first, but Chris loves it and I think it will go great with the fabric I have.



Oh... for anyone that knows my sis Bird, you'll be happy to know that she finally got her mission call! She's been waiting for almost a month for it come and lo and behold, it came on Saturday! She has been called to the Fort Worth Texas Mission! I can't believe it!! She is scheduled to leave on January 28th. She's still a little up in the air about it due to a new love interest, but we're thrilled for her and will be happy no matter what she decides to do!

And last, but certainly not least, my lover boy has started a new job! Out of the blue, a few weeks ago, his dad called with news of an awesome opportunity that had come up within the Sunroc family. Sunroc has instituted a new insulation division that works with homeowners that need to re-insulate their homes to improve their energy efficiency. Sunroc provides the insulation that improves the efficiency level of the homes and in turn, Questar and Rocky Mountain Power offer rebates back to the homeowners for doing it. In most cases, the rebates cover close to 80% of the cost, making it super affordable for the homeowner up front, not to mention the monthly savings in their utility bills. The schedule and the benefits are going to be awesome for us but I am almost more excited about having our house re-insulated! I know I'm a freak, but I hate nothing more than paying our utility bills every month knowing that they are only going to get more expensive! AHHH!! So, all in all, this new opportunity has really been a blessing! It's still brand new, but we're thinking it's going to be great!

Well, that's about it for now. Life is good! My belly is big, my boys are cute as ever, my husband is happy.. what more could I ask for!

Little Weave is bulking up in there!

So... it's official! My pants DO NOT fit! I was well aware that out growing clothes was definitely part of the pregnancy but I have to admit that I was a bit shocked the other day when I tried to pull on my favorite jeans, only to realize that they weren't fitting over my legs!! AHHH!! Chubby legs and muffin tops were not part of the plan! I guess I just didn't realize that everything from your neck down gets bigger when you're pregnant. Now don't get me wrong, I'm loving being pregnant and really couldn't be happier, it's just a little strange! I've been making my pants stretch by leaving them unbuttoned and wearing long shirts but I think those days are coming to an end. Just this morning I pulled on another pair of work pants, only to realize that the legs are tight as can be and the waist is so stretched that the pockets are all ripply! Needless to say, I am wearing them anyway but I think this will be the last time! Aside from needing bigger clothes, everything else is great! In the last two weeks, my little Weave has really given my belly a good stretch! I am twice the size this week that I was the last time I took a picture. My stomach doubled over night! I really and truly look like a pregnant lady! Yay!

Baby and Labor Day Fun!

On Thursday I went for my routine ultrasound.  Everything looked good, just a little ahead of schedule.  The lady that did the scan said from the measurements she took, I'm actually almost 20 weeks instead of almost 18.  So, I guess we'll just have to wait and see when the little guy decides to make his earthly appearance! At this point, I don't really care when the date is! I'll be anxious and excited either way! And, I'm only half way done, I have lots left to accomplish before the little one arrives!

Once again, our cute little boy decided to be stubborn and hide from us! The lady had to try for 30 minutes to get a shot of his face and even then, it was still really hard to make out.  He seems to like looking at my back and butt! His head was down as far as he could get it and he would only turn his face to the side if we bugged him! We did manage to catch a cute little yawn but that was about it for the facial shots.  These two pictures are the best from what they printed and they're still hard to make out!  I guess he's just a little shy!

Over Labor Day weekend, Chris and I joined the Fatty's for a nice relaxing few days in Las Vegas. Amber's mom was so nice to let us take over her house to swim, eat, and play! We had so much fun! It's always nice to get away, even for a quick trip,

Lindsay, Amber, and Preggors!

Cameron, Lindsay and cute little Cohen drove down on Saturday and spent the day with us too! They are such good friends and are always so fun to hang out with.
The Fatty's!

We are so lucky to have such wonderful friends! It's such a blessing to have friends that you can totally be yourself around, knowing that they'll love ya anyway!  We LOVE the Fatty's!

Is this not the cutest picture??!! It's not very often that I catch my man with an actual smile towards the camera, so this picture is for sure a keeper. And of course... Dylan is adorable! She is one of the most photogenic babies I have ever seen! Every picture I have of her is precious!
