Baby Shower

So sorry, the pictures are all random. Still learning :) Here I am with some buddies of mine at the shower. Left to right-(Mykel, Nicole, Me, Lil Lisa, Jamie)

Here's dear old Patti and Geri. Those two had everyone laughing, even ones who didn't even know them, surprise :)
Linda, dear Grandma, and Amber enjoying some delicious grub!Heather, grandma and Linda
Jamie (Nick's sister), Kelly (Nick's mom) and me enjoying the gifts. And don't look past the beautiful buldging arm :) Gotta love it!

This is for you Rachie:) The belly is growing rapidly. Hope you enjoy!

For all those who came and helped with the shower, thank you so much and for those of you who weren't able to come, you missed out on some wicked pie :) Here's a picture dishing up the delicious frozen starwberry cheesecake. know it might shock you, but mom was worried we wouldn't have enough food so she made 9 pies. Yes 9, which would make sense why we have 6 left over :) They were quite delicious though!!!
We made a haul, if ya can't tell by all the sacks. I'm guessing i'm not the only one that's excited for a grand girl :)

Here's another belly shot, incase you missed how big it's growing in the first one :) Saddest part is they were only less than a week apart.

Things are progressing

Had a no show at work yesterday and thought we'd take a look and see just how big she's getting, because I know I am :) (Those pictures will come soon Rach) Well, she didn't cooperate too well for us, again. She kept turning her head away as soon as we got a face shot but we did manage to catch one almost head on. Hopefully it portrays how it should. One side of the face is shadowed but I think it shows the other side pretty well. Once again, she shows her big 'ole cheeks and a scary little eye:) According to her measurements she's 35.6 weeks and 5 lbs 12oz, but with the ultrasound you can give or take 6 oz. But either way still pretty good sized considering I'm only 34.1 wks. What can I say, we grow them big :)

Had to add this in, poor little guy. We took him to the groomer the other week and they must have shaved him too short or something because he developed a sore on his inner thigh that he kept licking. We took him to the vet and they gave us some cream and the wonderful collar. It's getting better, slowly. Mostly due to us because he's only worn the collar enough to get a few snap shots. He can't stand the thing, but it is slowly healing.

Update

Here we are at In-n-Out in St George after the Tahoe adventure. We had to refuel our energy after it broke down and they all had to push it to a car shop while I steered, in the dark, up hill.

Things are going great! Had a fun weekend in St George but pictures are on mom's camera so I'll try and get them posted shortly :) I'm just over 29 weeks and feeling pretty good except for the rib and kidney shots that occur but it's good to know she's still moving and active. I got some recent pictures of her. Nick thinks they're a little freaky but I thought they were cute to see. This first picture is sideways, sorry. It's a profile of her face that's in the top left corner and her hand is in a fist pushed up against her eye and forehead. She looking down. Hope that helps make out the black and white shapes :)

This one is a head on, kind of looking down onto her face. Her fist again is covering one eye but I thought it was a cute shot of her nose, lips and one eye:) Chubby little cheek:) Hope you enjoyed.

Happy Valentines Day!

Hope all your holiday was enjoyable. Nick was able to have Saturday off so it was so nice being able to spend time with him. He surprised me with Pickleville tickets to the Hanging of Bandito and dinner at Copper Mill. It was so sweet of him and enjoyable! I tried to be domestic and make chocolate covered strawberries and they were surprisingly delicious :) Go Sam's Club with their yummy produce! When we got back from the show we ate them and watched The Office. Nick got me season 5 on dvd so we started those. Very enjoyable :) I feel bad for the little lamb, that morning he went to play basketball with the ward and rolled his ankle. He woke up this morning to a nice purple kankle, poor guy. I told him he needs to use those motorized carts at work tonight to stay off it but he declined. Hopefully it'll heal quickly :)

GIRL!!

Most of you are already aware but we're having a girl. She was lady-like and all when we tried to find out with her legs crossed and tucked up underneath her; but after much poking and probing we were able to get a small shot of her:) We're exciting. The first grandchild on Nick's side and the first granddaughter on mine. She won't be spoiled though :) This picture is the best for now. it looks most like a baby as oppose to an alien. The 3D pictures are a little scary for now but my ultrasound tech gal said that in a few more weeks she'll start looking more like a baby and we can take another look then:) So i'll post when I get them, that is if they look like a baby face:) She's growing like a weed! They moved my due date up to May 31. The ultrasound said May 28th but my doctor said we'll just keep an eye on her and we can adjust as needs be so i'll keep you updated.

BUN IN THE OVEN!!!

Just thought I'd announce it officially because the words now out, I'm pregnant!! We're so excited! I'm 16 weeks along this week and due on June 3rd. We'll find out what we're having next week :) A little early you think, just the perks of working at a women's doctor office and having an in with the ultrasound lady :) We'll let ya know when we do. Nick has this feeling it's a girl but we really don't care what it is as long as it's healthy.

Vacation FUN!!!!

So for our anniversary we decided to finally head back to Nick's old mission stopping ground of San Diego. We flew down and chilled for a few days and then boarded a cruise ship for a quick sail to Cabo :) We found such cheap tickets that it cost less to cruise than stay in a hotel so we jumped at the opportunity.

The San Diego temple is truly the most beautiful sight I've ever seen. Nick wasn't joking! It's amazing! I strongly recommend everyone going if they get the chance :) The celestial room brought tears to my eyes, it was that good! Pretty funny story, we rented out clothes so we wouldn't have to hall them. Well I've never rented before so I got all dressed up and headed and the sweet old lady that was helping pulled me aside and informed my that I had by dress on backwards! I was so embarrassed! I was all flushed and hot:) She turned on a closet light and let me go in and change my dress around. Starting off right:) It was a wonderful experience though :)

LeRoy and Carly were able to come on the cruise with us. It was such a blast. Good times and so warm. We rented these tandem bikes. They were so fun!!

The beach was SO beautiful and the water was SO warm. We just swam our little hearts out :)

When we got back to land and dropped Dan and Carly off at the airport, Nick and I drove around and visited some of his old areas. It's beautiful there an he really enjoyed the memory travel :) He was so sweet and got us this beautiful hotel on Mission Bay for our last nights there. It was so fun staying in a nice hotel. They had cute lemon smelling bathroom trinkets :)

It was a good time.

Sorry the pictures don't give it justice but the sunsets in San Diego on the beach are the most breath taking ever! So relaxing

Sad to come back to reality and work but good to be back. Oli was waiting anxiously for us:)
