Maternity Photos

So, we just got our photos taken! FINALLY! It only took us 5 and a half years to get new family pictures! Wow... Anyways, I hope you enjoy them!

25 Weeks 1 Day

I just thought I should post a new picture of myself so you all can see my baby's progress! Enjoy!

It's a GIRL!

So, we recently got to go get a sonogram done last Saturday! I know, it was a crazy-filled Easter weekend, with conference, egg hunts, and more. But, we were able to get it done! Yay! Anyways, here are the pics we got from our sonogram...

Her pretty profile...

Her little heart (hint: it's that little, black circle in the middle)...

She's an alien here...

Her full body...

It's official, it's a girl!

We are so excited! Mostly because we see that our baby is healthy. She is super-active and moves all of the time! I think that's the best part about being pregnant. Also, our due date came out exactly the same as our estimate, July 25th. So, I guess we'll have ourselves a July baby! Our next doctor's appointment is on April 13th, so we'll have some more news after that appointment, maybe...

First Prego Pics!

Ok, so I promised a picture of me so you all could see how I'm coming along. So here it is...

I know, I'm 19 weeks and 4 days along and not very big. At least I don't think I look very big. I feel big, but I don't look it. So, the pregnancy is going okay as far as I know. We haven't been to the doctors yet (I know, I know) so I don't really know if everything is super or not. I'm just praying that this baby will be healthy. We really don't care what the sex of the baby is; just that he/she is healthy. We will find out soon enough. Oh, I've also (think) I've felt the baby move! So, that's a good sign. I usually feel him/her move at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and I'm feeling it pretty regularly at that time every day, so I think that's the baby. Unless, I just have a really scheduled gas attack!! j/k

Anyway, I will update you more later as to what we are having and so on as soon as we go to the doctors!!

Loooooooooong Time!!

So, yes, it has been a very long time since I've posted an update! So sorry. Exciting new info - YES! I'm PREGO! Jacob and I found out at the beginning of December that I am expecting. We don't have any details as of right now because I haven't been to the doctor's yet. I know, I know. We have to wait to get out benefits back up and running, so we will be going in March. So when we finally get to go we'll be able to hear the baby's heartbeat, see the sex of the baby and all that good stuff! Can't wait! And you'll just have to wait until I look cute enough for me to post a picture of myself on here.

Other news, we moved! But, just across town. We got rid of one dump and moved into another. No, just kidding. This house we are in is in a lot better shape than the other house we were in. But, since we moved into this house (which was right before Thanksgiving) our dogs ran away, or were taken...We aren't really sure. I'd like to believe that they were taken because then that means they didn't want to run away from us. Anyway, they ran away a couple of days before we found out that we were expecting a baby. Crazy, heh? They found out I was pregnant and booked it! They must know something that I don't... Anywho, we've got another dog already. We kinda got him passed off to us. Some friends of family needed a place for him because they couldn't keep him anymore, so we offered our place. He's a German Shepherd and he's barely just turned one year old, so needless to say we have a puppy on our hands. He's still a little loppy like a pup, and needs major training. But we like him. Jacob especially.

So, from the sound of it, it sounds like we started a whole new life! New house, new dog, a baby on the way! Wow. Sorry there are no pics, I'll post pics soon. Until then, see ya!

Dodger Game!

Yea! We finally made it to a Dodger Game this Season! It was super fun! We sat out in right field, right behind Andre Ethier in the All-You-Can-Eat Section. Yumm, Yumm! The Dodgers ended up losing though to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Oh well, the experience was fun in itself!

Camping at Big Pine Creek

We finally went camping this Summer! It only took us until the end of the Summer to do it...oh well. We headed out to Big Pine Creek, although my dad told me we were going to Independence (which is about 40 minutes South of Big Pine keep in mind). We headed out on Friday at about 3:00pm, which is 2 hours later than when we wanted to originally leave. Jacob and I followed my dad and doug in my dad's little Isuzu, which can only go so fast (about 60 - 65 mph). So we finally leave and we are puttin' along on Hwy 395 and we have about 180 miles to go. It is taking us forever and a day! But we finally get all the way up there and by that time it's about 6:30pm. Then when we get there we find out it's $20 a night! Plus $7 extra for another vehicle. So, my dad didn't want to pay that much, "Those low-life scumbag Democrats!" (My father's words of course). And we leave to go see if we can get into another campsite down the road. Turns out they're all $20 a night with $7 extra for another vehicle. So we turn around, and by this time Jacob is irritated, and go back to Big Pine Creek campsite and we finally find a campsite that no one has reserved and start to set up camp. Mind you the campsite it super duper small and there is not enough room for my big-ol' tent and my father's tent. So we end up clearing away some brush back in the boonies for my dad, 'cuz our tent is too big to fit. So by the time we get the tents situated and put up I start to cook dinner at about 8:45pm. Hoping that we'll get to eat sometime that night... Meanwhile the boys are trying to figure out what is going on with our lantern and are trying to fix it. Here's a pic... We finally eat about 11:00 at night and dying of hunger pains. And freezing cold, cuz it dropped like 20 degrees when the sun went down. And of course Jacob only brought shorts and a light jacket and I only brought a sweater and a little wind-breaker. We are smart, aren't we? So we all decide to hit the sack and I finally fall asleep. But, I woke up about 2 hours later with my feet frozen and my head totally cold. So, Jacob and I start cuddling (which we never do when we sleep) to try and keep warm. It was the worst night ever! But the next morning when the sun finally came up it was better. The rest of the trip went well, the next night my dad gave us two extra blankets he had in his truck (imagine that!). We were warm that night. Anyways, here's some photos of the trip, I hope you enjoy!
