Week 19!

Today I am 19 weeks pregnant! Even though technically I am not halfway until next week (20 weeks) I am counting on this baby coming early because I am sure the doctor will want to be cautious because of my bone condition. So I could already be halfway!! So excited!

Around 17 weeks I started to feel this sweet girl move! It felt like little gas bubbles but as the days went by it was always in the same spot (lower abdomen) and always around the same time (when I laid down to sleep at night). Last week she was super wiggly! I was at my internship on Tuesday and kept giggling because she wouldn't stop moving! On Friday after school I was laying on the bed and she was giving me some pretty good kicks so I pulled up my shirt and watched it. Suddenly I saw a little jab! I saw it with my own eyes! It was so crazy! This week she is the size of a large mango and weighs about half a pound. Today after church I was laying on the bed and she was moving a lot so I put Nick's hand on my tummy and he felt her! He said "Oh hi baby!" It was so sweet! And it 's only going to get better as she gets bigger. My back has begun to get sore sometimes and my lower abs get sore as well.

Last night Nick and I went to sundance for the full moon life ride. We went last year too and decided to make it a yearly tradition! Next year Evie will be with us! (Baby's name is Evelyn:))

Here is a pic from last week at 18 weeks!

WE'RE HAVING A GIRL!!

We found on last wednesday that we are having a baby GIRL! I was so convinced it was a boy! We are so ecstatic. After my internship I went to the ultrasound place and Will and McCall met me there. They took us back the room and the ultrasound tech started the ultrasound. She showed us the baby's profile, hands, feet, and little heart beating. It was so sweet! The baby was yawning and had the hiccups :D. Finally she told me to cover my eyes. The baby's legs were close together so she had to poke me a little bit. Luckily the baby cooperated :) I couldn't wait to find out what we were having!

We had the reveal at Steven and Debi's house. Mccall set it up so cute! Brett and Kadison, missy, will, mccall, bobbie, Debbie, and Ben were all there. It was awesome!

Pregnancy-week 16!

Baby is the size of an avocado this week! my belly is definitely getting bigger, although people keep telling me I'm not showing yet (I always wear loose shirts). I don't think I have felt baby move yet, but I'm hoping I will in the next several weeks! We find out TOMORROW if it's a boy or girl! I can't wait!

Missy and Kiri moved in this past week. It's nice feeling like the space in our house is being used. I hope they enjoy staying here. Yesterday was Labor Day, and we celebrated by 1) Missy and I went to Steven and Debi's and helped make applesauce and ate their yummy food made by their garden, 2) Katie came down so she and I took cooper up the canyon on a walk while missy floated the provo river with her friends. Then we went to Aunt Lisa's to pick raspberries! Nick met us there since he had to work. it was so fun! We came back and made hamburgers. When I was at Steven and Debi's miriam picked up 10 lbs of peaches for me from a farmers market! I probably shouldn't have asked for 10 lbs haha. I have a lot of baking to do now!

This morning before Nick left he asked me to come into our room and he told me that when he was brushing his teeth he was looking at our wedding pictures and he thought "the babe is so much more beautiful now than when we got married". And said something cute about how being loved makes a person more beautiful. It was so sweet. I love that man and I can't wait to watch him become a dad! (Is it wierd that that is the one thing I am super excited about?! He's going to be such a great dad!
