In-Between

The BellyBand. I'm loving it. Here's to a couple more weeks of fitting into my favorite pairs of jeans.



I've decided I would rather people just tell me I look pregnant. Everyone that says "You can't even tell!" will just cause an eruption of emotions. If you can't tell I'm pregnant then what have you got to say about the 15 plus pounds I've gained??? Obviously I'm in that stupid In-Between stage I keep hearing about and I'm NOT liking it so much. So, bless the BellyBand and bless my sweet husband for being my sweet husband.

P.S. Next week is our twenty week ultra sound and we'll FINALLY know if it is a boy nugget or a girl nugget. I think it might be a long week.

Dancing Nugget

Went to the doctor today!! Yes, I have a dancing nugget in ma belly. And when he/she gets here September 17 (that date is subject to change) he/she can thank Aunt Tara for the nickname;-) I had an ultra sound today and got to see our nugget dancing all around! It was AMAZING!! He was just dancing and moving everywhere! It took a minute to get a good look at him because he would not hold still. That may not be something I'm so thankful for later in the pregnancy but today it was fantastic news! The best part was getting to see his little heart just pitter patter away. I'm pretty sure I could have laid there all day and just watched him squirm around my tummy. It was a pretty great feeling over all. The only way I can think to describe it right now is to say that the last month was completely worth feeling exhausted and nauseous and I cannot wait to meet the little stinker! I wish I had a picture to post but I don't. Maybe next month.

More good news...We're moving!! I found an awesome new apartment in Daybreak. We gave a deposit and are moving the weekend of March 6th. Anyone willing to give a helping hand would be greatly appreciated.

And last (for now) Colin is done with school in 66 days AND counting!

Even with all the stress of life lately I feel very blessed today. All from one tiny little heart beat:-)

Bun in the Oven

Well I'm pretty sure we've told everybody that reads my blog but for anybody that doesn't know...we're having a baby! So exciting!!!
Right now I think I'm about six or seven weeks along. I haven't seen my doctor yet so I don't have a lot of details but when I do I will leave another post. Also, I would love all the advice I can get so anything regarding the first trimester would be VERY helpful right now:-)

Oh Christmas Tree!

So, we are really quite proud of our first tree ever and I had to post a picture. Yes, I may have put it up the day after thanksgiving but am just now posting...what of it?! It's Christmas! Gimme a break!

We also gave ourselves an early christmas present which made Colin VERY happy...

Life has been pretty hectic as it usually does when the holidays come around. But here's an update on what's been going on. Colin got a new job!! Yaaaay!! We were thrilled. It seemed to have happened easily. Our sweet Bishop (who I love and have loved since the moment we met him) found out that Colin had been laid off and dropped his name with the customer service department of his company, Rescue Alert. He went in for an interview the next day, they told him to go home and talk to his wife and get back to them. So, he called and suprised me with a new job! He started the next day:-) We have been so blessed. Right now he is on a break from school and will go back January 4th and should finish up at the end of April.
Now since we've been so blessed with a good job for Colin I was able to make some decisions about my own job. I gave my two week notice this week and will finish up next Friday. Now, I'm looking for something part time.
Lots of changes lately that we are really excited about and we are SO excited for Christmas this year.
Happy Holiday's everyone!!
