Our Little One

Our Little Baby :)
Well Surprise!...I'm having a baby :) and Chris and I couldn't be MORE excited!!! Baby is due approximately May 13Th, but we will see...babies have a way of coming at their own convenience. I am now in the beginning of my second trimester and what a sign of relief it was seeing our perfect little one in an ultra sound today! Baby was such a wiggly little one, just moving, and kicking, and stretching, and turning, and doing flips the whole time! It was so cute, when I started laughing it startled the little guy, Chris and my heart just melted!! In the picture above you can see how the little cutie turned its whole body away and just peaked a little glimpse in our direction, and every time the Dr went to take a picture baby would go from kicking and wiggling to this same position! Must be a shy little one :) It's hard to believe you can love such a small being more than anything in the world! Chris and I had lunch together after the appointment and we were just marveling about how the little one on the screen was OUR baby and that its tucked inside my belly safe and sound for us to watch over until we can hold him/her in our arms! Ahhhhhh! Can I just tell you how completely excited I am to be a mommy!!!??!! I CAN NOT believe that in little over 6 months I will be taking care of my newborn child!! It just blows my mind! Chris is the CUTEST daddy already, he takes such good care of me and is just as enthusiastic about all the planning involved with our first child as I am. I couldn't have asked for a better husband! He will make an AMAZING dad. My pregnancy has been very by the book this time, I had horrible morning sickness for 3 weeks, I have the sorest boobs in the world, crazy cravings, and I get to bed at around 8 o clock every night, because I am extra exhausted. Haha and I am alllllways hungry, but to my good fortune I only gained 2 1/2 pound my first trimester :))) It's funny at the beginning I lost wait then I gained weight and then I lost weight...so I'm curious to see what I will gain all together, though I am not too concerned. I've been reading so much about pregnancy this time and it's been so helpful to ease my mind and boost my confidence. The Dr said my blood pressure was really high my first few app ts, but it has steadily gone down. He said it was probably due to stress and anxiety so I've been trying really hard to keep my mind from worrying. I love this baby so much and I am so excited to watch him/her grow inside me. I feel so blessed to be given the opportunity to carry my own child and I couldn't have asked for better circumstances. ( I actually prayed I would get really sick so I wouldn't worry so much) I really think this baby will be the most loved baby in the world, I am going to cherish every moment being pregnant and raising my child. I really couldn't ask for more, my life is so completely blessed!

I would like to introduce my adorable new nephew Wesley to any of you who haven't got to see him yet :) He is super-super cute and just soooo- handsome!! I can not wait to meet him!!! He arrives in Utah with his mommy and daddy the second week of December!! (I'm counting down the days) Baby's are just the sweetest creation on earth and in heaven. I love him with all my heart and all I've seen is pictures and heard a few cries over the phone. But who couldn't love a baby?? Especially one as ADORABLE as Wesley!

Catch up :)

I think a little catching up on my part is due, I am constantly taking pictures so I guess I'll post some of our most recent happenings :)


In early September I took a trip with my favoritest granmother to Texas to spend time with my sister Ashlee and brother-in-law Phil. Grandma and I had such a great time pampering Ashlee and helping her get ready for her baby boy. (She is being induced this Thursday!!) We had some AMAZING Texan food, did a little shopping, participatied in a baby shower thrown by her Texan friends, and we even got pedicures and massages together!! We had such a great time and I LOVED spending time with my sissy before she becomes a momma. Here are a few pictures of our trip.

Christopher and I celebrated our 2nd year wedding anniverssary on September 20th!!! Chris planned so well and we had a spectacular weekend together :) We stayed at the Little America in down town Salt lake and walked to Buca de Beppo for dinner, the food was amazing! It's so great being able to get away with my sweetheart and have a few days with just the two of us. The past two years have gone by so quickly and we've enjoyed every minute of it!!


The hotel was so sweet! They threw rose petals all over the room and made this cute little heart on the bed :)

I got Chris this little sweat pant outfit because he's been wanting something he could wear with his school's logo on it. He loved it!
