HALFWAY THERE!!

I hit my halfway mark on Tuesday (20 weeks). It is very exciting that it has gone so fast, but I know and have been told the second half doesn't always go so fast! Too bad....cus I am dying to have her here, but I know she still has a lot of growing to do. I have a belly and people are starting to notice. The only bad thing.. it isn't cute like everyone else's around this time cus I am a little larger... it just looks like I am really fat. :) I am so embarassed to post the picture for the world to see, but I guess it isn't any different from what I look like in real life! :)

Here it is!!! I hate this picture!!! That flower is in an awful place! :) lol




****I have started to feel her move quite a bit****
I told Brandon the other night that I could feel her moving and he got so excited and got a huge smile on his face. He was like a little kid at Christmas!


****I love watching Brandon get so excited to be a Dad****
Brandon was walking on cloud 9 the other day and he is not one to really get excited. I asked him what he was so thrilled about and he said he was just really excited about all the fun and exciting stuff that will be coming our way in the next couple months (graduation, new job, new house, baby, etc). I think most of it might be graduation! :)



****I am still feeling really good and still sleep excellent ****



****I have gone a little crazy buying cute little clothes and other neccessities.. ****
how do you pass up the cute girl stuff?


****we bought her first Utah State outfit ****
don't worry, it is pink, but I am sure she will still be dressed in navy blue a lot! :)


****Brandon made his lifelong dream purchase---a rocker/recliner ****
We agreed that we would get one when we had a baby.. good excuse, right...Brandon definately thinks so!


****we are still contemplating how to spell her name ****
I might be asking for opinions later!


****we can't stop thinking about her****



****we are THRILLED to be her parents****

****I still worry all the time about her developing properly****

We have been staying in Brigham with Brandon's parents while he was doing his internship in Logan (which he LOVED more than he thought he would). My work was awesome and let me bring my computer up here to work. I HATED being alone. We are so grateful to everyone for letting us stay, cooking us meals, being in your way all the time, etc, but we are so ready to go back home this weekend! Brandon will start up his last internship next week.

Help...

I need help...
When I go to do a post all my options to choose the size of font and to center it, etc is GONE... When I even edit.. it isn't there and only shows the html. How do I get it back?

Brandon's 2 best girls....

Brandon probably wouldn't allow me to post this if he knew, but I thought it was super cute, so I am going to! :) Shh.. don't tell! Oh and bytheway...Sorry for the boring no picture posts.

I've got nothin!

Last night we were doing the 30 day shred---(don't worry... I customized mine to a pregnancy workout) and when it first starts, Jilian introduces the girls doing it with her and says "I've got my two best girls here". Brandon being the crazy person he is was making fun of her and said it like she did. I looked at him and said.. "Hey.. you only have one best girl (meaning me)". Yes... I have quite a jealousy problem at times. Anyway.. I didn't expect his response. He looked at me and said "NO, TWO" and pointed to me and then to my belly! :)

I know it is kind of cheesy, but I thought it was so cute!

He is going to be such an excellent Dad to our little girl! I CAN'T WAIT!

I think that we probably have our name picked out too, with a few alternates just in case. We haven't decided on the spelling yet though and I don't really want to announce it quite yet! I will when it gets closer.

I am feeling really good. I now have quite the pooch that I can for sure tell is there.. not sure if anyone else notices, but I can't wear my pants anymore, which is never a good feeling, but the end result is all worth it! I am feeling a little overwhelmed when I start thinking about all the things that we have to buy! It doesn't help that the crib I want and LOVE is only 500.00!!! Why do I have such expensive taste? :) I also found fabric for the cutest quilt ever for her bedding that she can keep forever, which I think will be fun.

She better not turn out to be a boy! jk! :)
