There's still a baby!

I know I'm a freak for fretting about my little bun in the oven, but for some reason, I get really anxious when it's time to head to the doctor. I went for my second appointment today and was a little nervous that they wouldn't be able to find the heart beat! Like I said, I know I'm paranoid because I saw the heart beating away last month on the ultrasound, I just can't help it. There just seems to be so many things that can go wrong. All is well though, the heart beat was easy as can be to find and was awesome to hear. Even my super mellow hubby was excited! Hooray for baby Weaver's little heart beat!!!

Weekend Re-Cap

This past weekend, Chris and I were lucky enough to be able to spend some quality time with my family and some great friends in Salt Lake. As I mentioned in my last post, our weekend began with a trip to the Poison concert. Having never been to a concert before, I really had no idea what to expect, other than the obvious wanna-be 80's rockers, like my love! The wanna-be's definitely did not disappoint but I was shocked to see how many conservative looking moms were in attendance! The crowd was very entertaining! The concert itself was really good... super loud, but good! I was amazed at how loud it was in there. The few times that I left the arena during the show were a little awkward because I couldn't hear a thing! It was the strangest feeling! I think my next concert trip will include ear plugs! All in all though, it was a blast. Chris loved it and I was definitely entertained by the people and Brett Michaels' horrible dancing on stage! Long live 80's butt rock!!

The next few days of our trip were spent with my family and our wonderful buddies, Nater and Linley. Nate and Linley were so nice to let us stay with them. We love them and have so much fun reminiscing about the good ol' days and talking about all the many ways that the boys are going to make us all millionaires!

The original purpose for our weekend get-a-way was to visit with my aunt, uncle and cousin that flew to town from Ohio for a Volleyball Tournament. I haven't seen them in a few years and had such a blast running around Salt Lake and Park City with them. We tried to hit the major sites around the area and ended the trip with a fabulous dinner all together at the Rodizio Grill. It was so fun! I truly am so blessed to have such an amazing family!

The trip was great but now it's back to work and reality! Baby Weaver (aka Cletus the Fetus) is still just incubating away. I've been so blessed and have made it to this point with only minimal signs of morning sickness! I hope I don't jinx myself, but so far, pregnancy really has been a piece of cake. Just for saying that, I'm probably in for the worst baby ever!! Oh well... either way, it's worth it!

Weaver loves 80's Butt Rock!

I'm not exactly sure when my husband's love for the 80's "hair metal, butt rock," began, but for as long as I can remember, my man has been in love! He is absolutely positive that had he been born five or ten years earlier, he would definitely have been one of the 80's great rockers and over the last few years has somehow managed to convert me as well. I can't say that I'm quite as devoted as my man, but I'm willing to play along, which is why my very first concert attendance will be tonight at the Energy Solutions Arena for the Poison conert!

Brett Michaels... here we come!!

What's in a name??

I told myself that I absolutely would not post about this next topic because a post about it would definitely reinforce the longevity of it, but I've obviously caved! I've realized that fighting it is a losing battle and I might as well record it, so someday I can show my child how funky his dad is!!

The issue...
Thanks to our dear friend BRINTON, my husband has lovingly named our sweet little baby-to-be CLETUS!! Yep... Cletus the Fetus! Sick, sick, sick! Who in their right mind refers to their child as Cletus the Fetus?!? With out a doubt, Cletus is the most redneck, white trash name I have ever heard and you better believe that my man LOVES it! He tells everyone that will listen that our baby's name is Cletus the Fetus. Honestly, our poor child won't have a chance in this cruel world if it's nic-name is Cletus!! It will turn out like this...



Well, maybe not quite, but it's still horrible and I just know he's not going to let up until I threaten him within an inch of his life! I guess I should be grateful though, Chris has been super cute about the whole pregnancy thing and is even pretty excited, which is huge for those of you that know my man! And so, much to my utter dismay, my sweet little peanut is (and probably will be for awhile) now known as Cletus the Fetus!!

*** Don't you worry Brinton... I'll get you back someday!!

I just wanted to post a quick note to say thank you to all of you wonderful friends for the incredibly sweet comments about our baby to be! Chris and I are so grateful for this little miracle and are so blessed to have so many amazing people to share it with! We love you all and can't wait to join the ranks as mommy and daddy!

5 weeks down... 35 to go!!

I really was planning to wait to announce this, but not more than an hour after we told my family, my little sis announced our news on her Facebook so I figured, what the heck, I might as well post about it! Yep... you guessed it! The Weaver's have a little one on the way! Crazy huh! I kind of feel like it's not real yet, but according to the ol' First Response, I'm definitely on my way to being a mommy! I was so nervous to take the test! I waited until Chris left the house that morning because I didn't want him to know I was doing it!
Scott and Pam Dana are so great! I called Scott and asked him to help me tell Chris he was going to be a daddy! I found this shirt online and had Scott print it for me and give it to Chris. Chris was a bit confused at first, but he caught on quick and was cute as can be about it! I know the shirt is kind of funky, but it was perfect for my man! He showed everyone at work and
ended up wearing it all night! (Just to my parents house! I don't think it will be making any public appearances!)
Scott also printed this onesie for me to give to my sister. It's her birthday this week so I wrapped it up with the note and told her it was an early birthday present! It took her a minute, but she got it and was thrilled! My mom and dad were both right there as she opened it. My mom was so dang cute! She was running around the yard trying to figure out what was going on! She was ecstatic! My dad was excited too, he's just too manly to hop around the yard!

Right after leaving my parents, we headed home to wait for Chris's family to come over. When they arrived, Chris answered the door wearing his shirt and I ran out of the kitchen with a balloon under my shirt. It was cheesy, I know, but they loved it!

So.. there ya have it! I'm havin' a baby! Whoo hoo!!
