March Madness

Oh my goodness so much has happend in the past month and I think I said almost everyday that I was going to blog. Well it looks like I never got to it. I have just been busy busy. With work and work and work I guess blogging just gets put on the back burner. Luckily we were able to sneek in a little vacation to celebrate our birthday's and our anniversary.

***BIRTHDAY DINNER***

We were so excited to let our families know that we were having a baby and thought it would be fun to let them all know at the same time. So on March 7th we had a joint birthday dinner at my brother's house. My family always calls on Adam to say the prayer before dinner so we had planned that he would just let our good news out during the prayer. Oh man, it was cute I have never seen Adam so nervous (except for maybe when he proposed) he was talking so fast and his voice pitch was extra high. I was just trying to concentrate on not crying and not being so nervous but it was really hard. Adam finished up his prayer by saying something like "please bless that all of our nieces and nephews will accept their new little cousin coming this September". Everyone was super excited for us and we were so happy that we no longer had to keep this fun news a secret. So fun!! My sister and her family were unable to make the party and we missed them!

***THE HEARTBEAT***

I was wondering what would be going on at our next Doctor's appointment and, lucky us, we got to hear our little baby's heartbeat. I don't even know how to put in words the overwhelmeing feelings of joy I felt when I heard that sound. Undescribably amazing. It brought tears to both of our eyes (surprise, surprise) I love my sensitive husband. Our Doctor said by the speed of the heartbeat he would say it was a girl but he is wrong 50% of the time. I guess we will just wait to find out in April when we have our big ultra sound. It will be fun to know what we are having so we can start buying a few things or at least planning a little bit.

***A MUCH NEEDED VACATION***

I can't believe that Adam and I have been married for a year, crazy! What a fun, fun year it has been. I just feel so lucky everyday that I married my best friend who makes me so happy and treats me so good. Who loves the gospel and makes me want to be a better person. Who is going to be the best dad ever, needless to say I am loving the journey to happily ever after.

St. George...
So we headed down to St. George March 18th-22nd for a weekend of no work, homework or any sort of obligation. Thank goodness the morning sickness is finally gone. We had so much fun. We went to Vegas for a day and went to a few museums and had a yummy buffet dinner at the Paris Hotel. We also went golfing, mini golfing, to the batting cages, to the pool and just hung out in big house for the weekend. Seriously the master bedroom is bigger then our little student apartment the place that we call home and love so much. We also went to Zions and went on a few little hikes. It was the perfect weekend away.


On our way to St. George we had breakfast at the Original Pancake House with Adam's siblings to celebrate his birthday

***OH MY, OH MY, HOW THINGS KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER***

Can I just start out by saying how much I love being pregnant. I think that I have already forgotten the morning sickness stage. I feel like I am a normal person again that has energy and I actuallly feel motivated to get a few things done. I am loving the belly that is growing on my body and the little movements of flutters I feel when i have a chance to sit down and relax. Oh that's right you heard it I am feeling our little baby move inside me. I LOVE IT!!! So I felt our baby first in the morning on March 31st while I was watching the news. I didn't know if I believed or not because I was only 17 weeks along and I didn't think I would feel him or her until I was a little further along. So I muted the television and I felt the little bean move again. I love it and any time I find the time to relax a little bit I take it. I don't always feel the baby when I lay down but I treasure the times I do. What a neat and special experience this is to me.

I hope I didn't leave anything out. We are just so excited right now and having so much fun having all of these experiences. We can't wait to meet our little child but on the same token we just want to enjoy every minute and notice the special moments along the way.
