6 more months


This Sunday will mark 12 weeks in my pregnancy! I can't believe its been 3 months already! I was talking to Zach and my mom and I just can't believe how the time has flown by. I'm sure come months 8 and 9 I won't be thinking this way, but for now I'll keep the positive attitude:) Things continue to go well. Feeling great and thanks to Brandy for convincing me to switch my prenatal times to night I feel better than ever! As I approach week 12 my pants are still fitting(tight,but wearing them), i'm eating semi-healthy(I'm sure Zach will disagree) and going to the gym! Zach and I are working out together in the mornings on my days off and I'm working out at night on the days I do work! This is only week 2 of starting this whole workout thing, but I'm liking it so far! (at least as much as you can like the gym. I was complaining to Zach today about how all these old people keep hogging the ab machine! Trust me I know I'll never have a 6pack, but come on old people get off the ab machine!) :)jk





Last weekend we had a busy weekend! Saturday morning we went to the compost to get dirt for the flower bed. After shoveling all that dirt into the flower bed I could barely walk/bend over on Sunday! Yard work is hard work, but if it will ever stop raining here we could get our flowers planted and be done with it!!! Hopefully, next week we get it done!



Saturday day/night was my cousins wedding! It was a beautiful wedding. Zach had never been to a true catholic wedding before and I think one catholic wedding was enough for him:) It lasted an hour, but the standing and sitting was a little more than he could handle:). Here is the website if you wanna see any pictures of Ashley and Steven Carrillo! the username: carrillo. password: 4356. Ashley's aunt is a photographer in Ponca City and trust me by all the pictures they have it would be awesome to have family member in the photography business!! Speaking of photographers my other cousin Bethany is starting her own photography business! She is only wanting to do children and families, but and all the pictures i see of her kids she will do an awesome job! No worries, I've already hit her up about pics for our baby:)



Here's a picture of my belly on week 11! If you haven't noticed in previous pictures yes I have my belly button pierced! I've had it pierced for 10years and I know i need/want to take it out, but i love it! I know that in a few months I won't be liking my belly and trust me i won't be wearing a bikini after the baby is born, so I'm not really sure why i haven't taken it out! (crazy i know).




week 11!

picture of our yard before we started landscaping! I'll post more when were done!

Have a great rest of the week!

Randomness

We have been doing so many things this past week that this post is full of the random things!


On Saturday, was my sister Alicia's junior prom! She looked great and according to her had a good time! Her and about 6 other couples went on a short school bus. She got the idea from Zach and the short bus fits them well :). I believe Zach took a school bus to his junior prom as well. Here are a few pictures that i took! They are blurry and have I talked/blogged about how much I hate my camera! We have had this camera or POS like I call it for almost 5 years I think and its time to update!! So, if you know anyone that is looking to get rid of a good camera send them my way please!!


Alicia and Michael



Zach's aunt came to town this weekend from Colorado. I stopped by on Saturday after I got off work to visit. She had this beautiful quilt made for the baby! I love it. Its gender neutral and it is something that I will keep forever for the baby. It has a nursery rhyme theme.

It was good to visit with her for a little bit. We hardly ever see them and of course when they come home Zach and I are always at work! On a random note have I mentioned that I want to be a stay at home mom!!! My husband ignores me when i say this and thrust me I saw it at least once a week! Anyway, here are a few pictures of the quilt.


The front

The back


Close up of the back

Thanks again Davalyn I love the quilt!

On another random note, We have been talking baby names!!! I believe we already have the names picked out, but here are a few that we have talked about.

Girls: Olivia, Ansley, Barkley, Elle, Addison and Belle

Boys: Jaxon, Brody, Adler, Gunner and Shooter (these last 2 are names that zach has mentioned and I have vetoed them immediately)

We know that we want unique names and if anyone is willing to give up their favs I'd love to hear them!!

That's about all that has been going on around here. We are starting to landscape so when we finish I'll post pics!

Have a great week!

Doctor's Appointment

Yesterday was our second doctor's appointment. It was an early appointment since Zach went to second shift a few weeks ago, we have to do our appointments in the morning. Everything went great! Nothing new was really said. We didn't get to hear the heart beat, which was disappointing, but next time we get to. I gained a pound! Which, according to my scale at home I had gained 3! So now I'm not so convinced that we are having twins! :) We go back in a month, so we will keep you updated.

Yes, I did buy a belly band last Friday while we were in Wichita! But the good news is that I haven't had to wear it yet!! :)

I switched my prenatal vitamins. I was taking them in the morning and after I threw up on my way to work last week on i135, I decided to start taking them at night! Which is working out really well and I haven't been sick since!

Here are some pictures of my belly yesterday after our appointment!

Pants are getting tighter! 9 and a half weeks

Easter Sunday was a busy day for us! We went to church, dinner with Zach's family and then to my grandparents! I was a good time, busy but good!
Last week I was busy getting Mya's Easter presents ready. For those of you that don't know, Mya is Brandy and Fredo's daughter! They live next door and I'm soooo thankful that they do. Mya is the cutest little thing ever! She recently turned one a few weeks ago! I made her some hair clips for her Birthday, but she lost a few while they were on vacation, so she needed some more! Here are a few pictures of the hair clips I've been making!

These are so easy to make!

Butterfly!

I can't remember if i gave these to her! I made soooo many I can't keep track!

I got this crafty little idea from my cousin Bethany! She's a crafty little thing and I get soooo many fun ideas from her blog.

We have a busy weekend ahead of us!!! Work, work and more work! I hate the weekends that I work! Oh, well I love my job.

Have a great weekend

Happy Anniversary!

This month Zach and I have been married for 2 and 1/2 years! It just seems like yesterday we were getting married! A lot has happened in 2 and 1/2 years. We both have different jobs, a new home and a baby on the way! I was looking through our wedding album/pictures today and can't believe the good and bad that we have over come.



As I think back to our wedding day October 14,2006 I remember what a beautiful day it was! I can't help but remember everything that went wrong! I'll start the list and you see what you think!
  • Bridesmaids flowers died the day before
  • chocolate fountain didn't work (chocolate was in a crock pot)
  • wine fountain didn't work
  • we decided to put the alcohol in an old bath tub. it had a crack and water went everywhere
  • ran out of food
  • not enough seating at the reception
  • and worse of all!!! the wedding coordinator sent me down the aisle at the wrong
    time!!

There that's about it I think! Don't get me wrong it was a beautiful day and wouldn't change it for the world and now as I set here and type I'm laughing! I'm thinking about the melt down I had the day before the wedding and how Jamie and Brandy calmed me down. (I'm still laughing now as i type). Fun times and great memories.



My cousin is getting married in a couple of weeks and I can only imagine how stressed out she is right now!! Weddings are a fun and wonderful, but soooo stressful at the same time!

Honey, I know your reading this right now, probably not even remembering this and correcting my grammar mistakes, but I love you and I wouldn't have changed anything that has happened in the 2 and 1/2 years that we have been together!


Here's some pics from our wedding day!!

Fun Finds!!


I know this has nothing to do with the baby, but I thought it would be fun to share with you some fun finds that I have or would love to have!

On Monday I took my little sister to Wichita to go prom dress shopping! 4 hours later we found this!! I love it and it reminds me of my senior prom dress! (funny how things happen like that)




This is such a cute dress and it looks great on her!!



Another fun find that I have been looking at for a couple of weeks now is a belly band!! I'm afraid that this is going to my purchase of the weekend! I was hoping that I could wait a few more weeks or maybe even months, but that's not going to happen! :) Well, never mind having computer issues, but you can see them at Target!




This is what I got for my birthday a few weeks ago from Zach and his parents! I love these black uggs! They are super warm, but every time I wear them they die my feet BLACK! Oh well, I guess that's the price you pay for cute shoes! These are in brown, but you get the point!






I guess I did find something fun for the baby! These legg warmers are the cutest things ever! I saw them on my cousion's little girl and I'm pretty sure our little one will need some! Maybe not these exactly, but I do love these!




So, those are a few fun find that I've been looking at! Better get back to work!

Baby on board!!

Yeap, that's right Zach and I are having a baby! which I'm sure most of you knew that by now! Since this is my first post I'll give you a quick run down of what has been going on!


Currently, I'm 8 weeks pregnant as of yesterday! Zach and I are very excited and can't wait til our new bundle of joy arrives! I've been to the doctor already and according to the doctor (or my last period) our baby should arrive November 15, 2009!

I've been feeling ok so far. Thrown up once and feel nauseated almost every day, but after i eat something I'm usually good to go for the day.

My pants are getting tight already! I know, I'm sure most of you are laughing, but I do not find this funny especially this early on! I keep telling Zach that I'm feeding for 3!!! (please I hope not). Its getting s bad that last weekend we went to the movies and on the way home I had to unbutton my pants!!! Zach just laughs and thinks its so funny, but we will see who's laughing after they say were having TWINS!! :)

Are next doctor's appointment is scheduled for April 15. I'll keep you updated on how that goes!

Every Sunday, since we found out we were pregnant we have been taking pictures of my belly to put in this awesome belly book Brandy got me!! I love it, it has soooooo many fun and neat things to write about during my pregnancy! Thanks again B!!
So, here are some pictures of my belly! (please note that i hate showing my stomach and Zach has to pull my shirt of higher for me:)


These are the pregnancy test! I took 2 on March 10 a day before my birthday!!
