At the end of February we went down to the valley for Sean's niece Livvi's first birthday. It was fun to see her and all the other kids and get to spend some time with the family. She is so cute and has such a fun personality!

We also were able to pick up our crib while we were down there. Our Nursery is finally starting to come together!

Valentine's

So Since valentines day was on a sunday this year i thought it would be nice to do a nice homecooked meal. So we made Crab legs, coconut shrimp and then fried shrimp as well. It was so good! then we had really good chocolate and strawberries for desert! We haven't had a dinner like that for a long time so it was nice to eat some good food! Anyways we like to take pictures of good food for some reason so i thought i'd post it since i haven't done a post in a long time! Anyways, It's been a long time but we haven't been taking pictures as much as we should have but oh well. This is my 6 month picture, or at least somewhere around that time.

24th Birthday

So yesterday was my 24th birthday and I am exactly 5 mos or 23 wks pregnant! Sean took me down to the valley and I got some maternity clothes. Sean got me some nice earrings from Jared's! Yes he went to Jared's! haha anyways we had a real nice time down there and we had a good day yesterday, I wasn't working so we got to spend the day together since it's been snowing all week here! Sean also got me an ice cream cake that's really good! It was a fun day! I am not able to hide anymore behind my clothes, its pretty obvious that i'm pregnant as you can see, but it's been fun to see all the changes and feel her kicking and playing ALL the time, they say they sleep about 23hrs but i don't know how thats possible becuase she is usually moving and kicking those 23 hrs as well!

Christmas

We had a really good Christmas this year! I was able to get a four day weekend so i got to spend alot of time with sean and our families. We were with Sean's family this year for christmas and had fun opening presents and watching everyone open theirs. I got a new camera for the baby and am in LOVE with it! Its the new Cannon SLR camera. I knew i would love it but i never imagined how much this camera can do! it can do everything! So yeah i am amazed and i love taking pictures with it!

Kelton was my first project, He was really close and i was trying alot of different settings so thats why it's blurry. I think he was having as much fun as i was! Sean's family taking pictures by the Christmas tree.

Sean's focused in on the new Wii that we got for Christmas!This year has been so much fun!

Updates on the baby... Well just over the last week i have realized none of my pants fit. It is such an awesome feeling knowing you actually have nothing to wear! The baby has been moving alot and seems to be having a blast in there! Im starting to notice subtle changes in my stomach and really am growing! I'm at this stage where even my scrubs fit me weird. They fit fine when i'm standing, but i have to loosen them when i sit down, then when i stand back up my pants are falling off! So all day i focus on untying and tying my pants, pulling and tugging on them oh and how can i forget the 20 bathroom breaks! But it is all worth it and i'm just excited to be half way through! I have my 20 wk appt tomarrow and am so excited! then we will know for positive if its a girl! i sure hope so because i really don't want to have to take back all my cute girls stuff!

Projects

So a little while ago some of the nurses taught me how to crochet and knit. So this is one of my first projects crocheting. It took me a good 4 tries to get them to look like this but i thought they turned out so cute! Ive also been knitting a blanket FOREVER and hopefully i'll be done with it soon so i can crochet a pink one! Ive always wanted to learn how so i'm excited that i finally know how to! anyways i was pretty proud or my booties so i decided to post them.

My Sweet Little....GIRL?

So i went to my 16 weeks appointment today and after 4 hours, yes 4 hours at the doctors office we got an ultrasound of the baby. I wanted to make sure everything was ok. Well the lady asked if we wanted to know the gender and of course we did so she told us its a little early but that she's pretty sure its a girl!! We're so excited, the baby was in a perfect position and the pictures came out really good. She did a 4D ultrasound and gave us some pretty cool pictures! It was so much fun and we can't wait for the 20 week checkup! These 4D ultrasounds are AMAZING! you can see everything. That first picture gets a real good look at the whole baby and the umbilical cord. The second one was a cute side view!

We had a really good thanksgiving this year and spent it with my family. most everyone was up and while we were there we all got a few surprises! I found out my sister Christy is about 8 wks pregnant, due in July and Then come to find out my other sister Cherie is 19wks pregnant and is due the end of April! so we're going to have lots of babies within 2months or eachother! It's exciting and will be so much fun to have cousins all within the same age!

13 1/2 Weeks

So This is how much your body can change in just one short week. I started noticing this within the last few days. The picture on the left was taken when i was 12.5 wks pregnant. The picture on the right is 13.5 weeks pregnant, exactly one week apart. It could also have to do with the fact that the white shirt is really tight. Anyways I know when i eat too much that it feels good to stick my stomach out like that pic, well the last few days i realized that it hasn't gone back in and has been quite noticable with tighter shirts. Good thing i don't wear shirts like that alone cuz i'm in the stage where you can't really notice, it just looks like you've gained a little weight! anyways i'm just a few short days away from the start of my second trimester and am anxiously waiting. Only a month or so left till we find out what we're having! i can't wait!
