Happy Birthday Babe!

Happy Birthday to my sweet hubby! I just wanted to let everyone know what an amazing man I am married too! He works so hard for our family, and between work and school we don't see him much but he makes up for it whenever he can. I am so proud of his hard work in pushing through school, and its been so worth it. We have been through a lot, and I can't imagine having anyone else around but him to go through life's troubles with! I love you babe, and am so glad you avoided the "birthday plague" this year! I hope you have a wonderful day, and I love you!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Merry Christmas! (late...)

Oh boy! What a weekend! I meant to blog about our wonderful Christmas, but unfortunately I got super sick the next day. It started with a really bad cough and no voice on Friday, and then Saturday I ended up with the stomach flu on top of the cold. I honestly think when you are pregnant you should be void from all other illness, especially 2 at the same time... So today I am back to the cold only, a nasty cough(I really should quit smoking...haha), and a little bit of a voice. So before all that fun we had a wonderful Christmas.

Santa was really good to Madison. He brought her the most adorable doll house, and princess shoes.

This is the adorable hat I made for her, and she loves it!

She had a blast getting toys at Grandma Gloria's!

Then later we went to my parents house, where you guessed it! She was spoiled rotten!! Unfortunately I forgot my camera so I'll have to add the pictures from my moms later.

This was Christmas night, and she got so much it didn't even fit on her bed. What a lucky girl!

The highlight of the day in my eyes, was being able to talk to our missionaries! My brother Brandon called at 8am, and we went over to my parents to talk to him. He sounded so good, and I can't believe he has already been gone for 5 months! If time keeps flying like this he'll be home in no time...let's hope! We also got to talk to Chris' brother Nick. He will be home in March! That's even more crazy! He sounded great also, and we can't wait to see him! All in all we had a wonderful day, and were so grateful for the time spent with our families during the holidays!

Isn't this the truth!!

This is for anyone who has ever been pregnant or hopes to become pregnant one day. That's exactly how you feel, especially when you just visited the bathroom 5 minutes earlier. Or at 3 am...
And if you don't run, you might not make it!!

Baby update...Oh geez...

I have had a few people asking how things are going with me and the baby, so I figure its time for an update. I am doing just fine. This is definitely an active little guy! He seems to be nudging me continually, so who knows when he sleeps. I did have a doctor appointment today. Over the past few days I have felt like I am showing more than I should be, and when they measured me today we found out that I am measuring 3 weeks bigger than I am. 3 WEEKS! So what does that mean? Well, the baby is measuring just right for my April due date, but my uterus is measuring bigger. I am not one of those girls who has this little ball under my shirt, and I know with Madison I was pretty big, but I never measured more than a couple days bigger than I was at the time. So to measure 3 weeks bigger my doctor was a little surprised. So far I have only gained 8 pounds, so my doctor says I am not measuring bigger due to weight gain. So when I go back on New Years Eve, if I am still measuring bigger, then he wants to do another ultrasound to check the size of the baby and measure how much fluid I have. Its possible there could be more fluid than usual, or we could possibly have a baby a couple weeks earlier. We'll just watch it over the next few appointments, and then go from there. But in the mean time I just look bigger, and people about fall over when I tell them my due date is April... "You look like you could pop next month..." Gee thanks! Some people, I swear...
Sorry, no picture this time. I feel too big today and a little self conscious.
