This is the LAST time for 88 years that we'll have a cool date like this! So this post has no real significance. Embrace the randomness.

 

Temple square at Christmas time = the most beautiful thing EVER.

 

 

I was preparing a lesson for Relief Society and the Mr. was sooo helpful and painted letters for me. I snapped a shot because he's adorable.

The new do! I totaly let Brittney talk me into doing ombre highlights and it turned out sooo good! The picture doesn't nearly do it justice. Just ignore the bad light + awkward smile.

 

 

Just got these puppies in the mail from a very dear person! We LOVE Barbie. Plus these little girl shoes are to die for! Seriously. I keep taking them out of the box to look at them and hold them. Can't believe someone could be so small and fit in these. Such a fun surprise!

 



 



Hope everyone does something fun today!!!

She's a SHE!

What a good day today was!

It's amazing how finding out the gender changes EVERYTHING.

The ultrasound appointment was at 8:30 this morning, and our anxiousness got the best of us as we showed up 20 minutes early. Yeah, we could hardly wait to find out if this little peanut was a he or a she.

Seriously though, I was SO nervous. Not that I really cared what we were having. (because we don't have either.  But for those of you who've had children, you know how many stinkin' pictures they have to take of your babe on this particular ultrasound.. Well, I was getting impatient and was ready for her to go to that certain "area" and just get it over with!

Then, she pointed on the screen and said...."There's not a whole lot in that area!"

And I haven't stopped smiling yet.

We can NOT wait to meet our baby GIRL!

And...
Such a BIG thanks to our AMAZING family and friends for your wonderful support, well wishes, sweet texts and FB messages today. We are so grateful to have such awesome people in our lives.

And I would feel so ungrateful if I didn't give a shout out to my BEYOND PERFECT husband. There's no one else I would rather have with me as we prepare for parenthood, and his excitement about our new addition makes me love him a trillion times more.

It's amazing how much I love her already.

Pregnancy Update!

Twenty weeks and counting.

I'm halfway there! This was such a big hill to climb, and I'm so happy that I'm counting DOWN the weeks now. I can't wait to see how different our lives are going to be in just a few months. It's hard to believe that it will get better than this, because... I. LOVE. MY. LIFE. Can't say it enough.

I've been terrible at keeping updates of my pregnancy, so this post is really for me to reflect on down the road. But for those who care, here's what's going on:

How far along?  20 weeks.

Total weight gain: 3 lbs.

Maternity clothes? Not yet! All though at the end of wearing jeans all day, I'm definitely done.

Stretch marks? Nope. (Crossing my fingers)

Sleep: Difficult. Aside from waking up to use the facilities 2+ times a night, I toss and turn A LOT. And have crazy weird dreams.

Miss anything? Medicine when I'm sick. I'm paranoid and won't take ANYTHING.

Movement: I'm finally recognizing the difference between baby and gas bubbles! (TMI?) I get SO excited every. single. time.

Cravings: Green apples, salt & vinegar chips, Cuties oranges, baked potatoes. 

Anything make you queasy or sick? Meat. Especially in raw form.

Symptoms: Headaches, fatigue. (I really don't have too much to complain about. I'm one of the lucky ones.)

Wedding ring on or off? On!

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy! All though the Mr. might say otherwise sometimes. :)

Looking forward to: Finding out the gender TOMORROW!
