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!

Random Pictures!

These last few weeks haven't been too exciting, but I have a few random pictures that I've taken and thought I'd post.

Melissa, Mom, and Bird... I love these girls!

A few weeks ago, my cousin Tiffany got married and all of us Musso's headed up to the wedding. This little guy is my cousin Lori's baby, Corey. He is such a doll!


My cousin, Chris, his wife Emily, and their three adorable boys were also at the wedding. Mathew, Will, and Joseph are so much fun! Mathew (the oldest) took an immediate liking to my brother Nick! Uncle Nick was the star of the show the entire weekend! In this picture, Mathew was telling Nick all about the Dinosaur Museum that they were going to. He was so intense about it! And yes... for those of you that know my bro and haven't seen him lately, his hair is way longer than mine and his beard is thick as ever! He is definitely going to be one of the favorite uncles!
My little guy will have so much fun playing with all the boys in the family!
At this rate, in a few years, we'll have enough boys to make up our own soccer team!






This picture is from awhile ago, but I couldn't resist posting it. This is Amber's cute Dylan! She is so stinckin' cute and the best baby in the world! She feel asleep like this while Amber and I were in the kitchen throwing dinner together. I can only hope that my little man will be as good of a baby as Dylan!
17 Week belly!!!

There will be no lack of testosterone in my house becuase...

Baby {BOY} Weaver will be joining the crew!! It's official! My hunch that this little one would be a boy, was right all along! I knew that Weaver, Reggie and Tobie needed another little guy to play with! We're so excited!! I can't believe I'm going to have a son! I just hope he comes out looking like his handsome daddy and not like me! Red hair and freckles on a little boy could be rough!

I love this picture because it's so obvious that he's a boy!

Most of the pictures were really hard to decipher because his little head was tucked way down low and the placenta was in the way but you can see his hands in this one.

Hooray for baby boys!!

Bird's the Word!

Bird was the one that took my picture for me last night and we just happened to snap this one too. I know I'm probably a bit bias, but I just have to say that I have the most amazing sister in the entire world! She is seriously the best sister one could ever ask for! Growing up, we were probably about as different as two sisters can be. She was the tom-boy athlete and I was the prissy little dancer but over the last few years, we have been able to spend way more time together and are great friends!

Bird (Stacie) has and always will be such an example to me, even being four years younger. She is so motivated and driven to accomplish all of the many things she has set her mind to do. You know you're something special when you decide to major in Math Education at BYU!! I despise Math and can't even imagine learning how to solve some of those daunting equations by hand without the ol' TI-89!! She is a math rockstar!

Not only is she motivated and amazing at math, she is truly one of the most loyal friends I have ever met. Not only to me, but to all of those people that are lucky enough to call her a friend. She is kind, compassionate, and loves to help people. All such wonderful qualities that I need to work on!

So... all in all, my cute little Bird's the Word is one of my angels! I love her more than she'll ever know and am so grateful to have been sent to the same family as her. Just the other night, she called me to tell me that she has decided to for sure serve a mission. The debate has been on for a few months now, but I think this time it's official. She'll most likely leave in January and will just miss meeting our little one, which makes me really sad, but above all, I am so proud of her. Making that decision with everything else that is going on in our lives right now would be super difficult and I know that she has decided to do what Heavenly Father would want her to.

I love you Bird and am so blessed to have you as my sister and friend!!

The beginning of the belly!

It's official! Baby Weaver is now too big to stay completely hidden! I know it's still not much, but the belly is definitely there! Some days, more than others, depending on the crap that I ate the night before, but I can definitely not suck it all in any longer! I know it's probably kind of silly to wish that I were completely showing, but I do! I can't wait for a legitimate pregnant belly! And... the best part about it is... my cute babe thinks that pregnant women are so cute! He loves little bellies! I have the most amazing man!!

13 Weeks ( I look really funky in this picture, but I had just gotten home from sitting outside in the 108 degree weather with my man and was definitely looking a little haggard!)
5 Weeks... a few days after I found out!
