New Year/ Baby Post

Happy 2014!

This year is a little different than most new years resolutions/goals. I am pregnant so that cuts out the popular one "lose weight". Jk I am very happy with being pregnant and take all the body changes the come with it.

My Baby is due in 4 months and I still have a lot to do.. so for now my resolutions are..
-paint babes room
-Furnish room (I finally bought a crib)
-Deep clean house/closets a thousand times..nesting problems
-Eat better, more fruits and veggies

I am sure ill come up with more fun stuff .. but for now enjoy baby post

How far along are you? 23 weeks and 5 days 

How are you feeling? Good besides some back pain and achy hips (however, I got food poising this week and threw my gutts up.. felt like the first 3 months all over again) 
Do you have stretch marks? No.
Have you felt the baby move? Yes, a couple days before Christmas I finally felt her move, now I feel her all day. Trey also got to feel her for the first time. She is going to be a great soccer player I can tell:) 
How big is the baby? ear of corn, 1.5 pounds 

Weight gain: about 5 pounds or so Maternity clothes? no, but I live in leggings 
Sleep? so so, my back has really been aching so I toss and turn a lot, and pee at least 2 times a night. 
Food cravings? always cold cereal, and random ones depending on the day 
Anything you miss? Working out like my normal self. Ive had to back off on some things but still going strong with crossfit, and pilates. 
Best moment this week? I was sitting in the bath tub and watched her kick my stomach it was really cool. 

Family Photos

This year Trey surprised me with some photos from my favorite photographer blush photography. She did such an amazing job, and It will be our last family photos before the little one comes..

here are a few

thanksgiving food babies, and real babies

I am grateful for my growing belly and my Trey. My life is far from perfect and sometimes It hard too be grateful for trials in our life. But I know how blessed we truly are. 

here is more growing belly, I love this little girl already and can't wait to meet her:) 

19 weeks! almost half way!

Small Speed BUMP

I have not done the greatest job at documenting my growing belly, but here are some pictures

This is at 9 weeks. After a home workout 

12 weeks or 15 but I am pretty sure its 12 ? 

I finally made Trey take some pictures of me yesterday after church.. I am a little over 16 weeks here. The skirt isn't doing anything for my bubble butt :) 

I assume in the next couple weeks she will make a bigger appearance :) 

pregnancy test, pregnant, and baby girl

I ve been a terrible blogger.  But there has been some exciting things happening in our family...

Aug 20th Finding out we were pregnant... I was feeling tired, starting freaking out that there could be a possibility that I was pregnant. I drove to the store got a pregnant test and went to the self checkout line...peed on the stick and both game out with a big "PREGNANT" ... I cried.. out of sadness at first, I was in shock, we both were. A day later I was very excited.. Trey was always excited :)

i took four test just to make sure 

PREGNANT!

I was pretty miserable for the first three months... I was sick literally all day, then I broke my wrist pretty early on which was a challange in its self.  I was one of those girls that claimed I WOULD eat so healthy during my pregnancy.. well that doesn't really go the way you want when you don't want to eat anything but potatoes... and bread.

how we announced our pregnancy 

documenting my broken wrist.. I got my cast off and eventually just had a brace..

this is the first picture of the baby. It was a really cool experience, the baby was just moving around like crazy. It became very real for me then. 

the day we found out we were having a baby girl :) 

I am excited/nervous to meet our little girl. I know that being a mom will be a huge challenge but the best thing we could ever do. 

no names yet 

3 years

I couldn't forget to blog about our three year anniversary. We celebrated in California, and it was just what we needed. We spent time laying on the beach and eating yummy food. I can't believe its already been three years. I am lucky to be married to such a great guy, marriage isn't always easy and its not always perfect, but its worth it!

Love you Trey

Birthday Weekend

My better half turned 26 this weekend. We spent the weekend with his family in Park City snowboarding, relaxing, and eating a lot of yummy food. Needless to say I really needed the weekend getaway. I realized how much our "life" has taken over. This is such a small window just for us. I need to start taking advantage of it.... in short I am pretty determined to go on another vacation soon.

Enough about me, more about my lover.
Things may not always be perfect,
and days when words just don't come out right.
but, I love you more and more all the time.
So grateful you were born 26 lovely years ago.

xoxo,

Your wife

Oh, and my sweet parents watched the pups
