Family Picture's

When we went back to Washington in February we did a bunch of
family pictures and Paul and I were able to do our own pictures as

well. I think they turned out really great!!!

Cup and Belly

This has to be one of my favorite belly tricks using it as a table!

Our Project

We bought this desk at the beginning at the summer

and decided that it needed a makeover so we gave

it one. Doesn't it look better!

Nine Months

Okay we had our visit to the doctor today! The heart beat was 147bpm and his head is down. He is healthy and happy. The doctor also had us go up to the hospital to do a no stress test where they check the babies movement to the heart rate to make sure the heart rate accelerates when he moves. Everything went great and he is moving plenty. We will see the doctor again next week.

35 Weeks

Alright everyone we are at 35 weeks and have 5 more to go. We had our doctor appointment today and were told that it is time to start coming in every week instead of every two weeks. (So now we are getting serious). The doctor also said that if I do go into labor anytime that we are at the point now that they will not stop it. So that's very exciting news don't you think! Our little boy is still great his heartbeat was at 136bpm today.

We have the CRIB!

Paul's Accident

Well Paul was at work yesterday and had an accident. Let me tell you the story. So most of you know that he works at a motor sports store putting four wheelers and motorcycles together. Well when they finish putting them together they are suppose to ride them and make sure that they run correctly. So he took one of the motorcylce's out when he finished it and was driving down the road. Well while he was riding a bee got underneath his shorts and stung him and that of course caused a reaction making him jerk his leg and his foot pushed down on the back brake. (He then looked like a little kid riding on two wheels for the first time making the front of the motorcycle swerve really rapidly). The bike then fell to the ground on its side and he skidded on the road on his side. Luckily he was only traveling 20mph and he just got bruised, scraped up pretty bad (and of course he was wearing a helmet he is not stupid).

School

Well final grades are in and are posted. I ACED my Religion class, I am quite proud of myself. Okay I know that it was only on class, but I have to tell you all that it was a challenging class and that's because of the huge work load it had. I thought that it was maybe just me but I ran into a guy from my class who is pretty smart (I could tell critiquing his papers every once in a while)the other day and he was sure glad the class was over because of the work load being so demanding. That's the way school is though demanding (all those who have experienced college I'm sure would agree). For those who do not know I am taking the Fall off from school because that's when the baby arrives, however I will be starting back up in the Winter (so January).

The Strollers Here

A Little Scary

We had ourselves an eventful day yesterday. Paul had to take me to the hospital yesterday morning. I had started feeling some new pains on Sunday and they progressively got worse. So we did the smart thing and Paul called the doctor and he told us that we needed to come in and get it checked. Well we did just that and went to the hospital and they hooked me all up to the monitor. Come to find out I was having contractions, however I was not feeling them (well I slightly felt them). So with that they checked me out to make sure I wasn't dilated and thankfully I wasn't however they say my cervix is very then and apparently at 32 weeks that should still be thick. So needless to say they told me to take it easy because I do not want to induce labor quite yet. They took some blood! Then they gave me an I V (not sure how to spell), a pill and a shot to make the contractions go away. I have to admit I was quite scared of everything going on because it is still early. Paul was there through the whole thing and he was so wonderful and comforted me. So hopefully this little boy will be patient and wait at least 4 weeks.

Eight Month's

Things are going well the last doctor visit showed that the babies heart beat is 153bpm (I think that's what it was). It was a week ago. My next appointment is July 30th. I have to say that he still is just as active and boy is he getting bigger. He is doing a lot of pushing on things. It is funny to see my tummy bulge out a little on my sides. I think that he sticks his butt out sometimes in the middle of my belly! Paul is getting so excited for this baby boy to get here. We just bought the crib today only so we have to wait for it to be shipped and we are waiting for out stroller to get here (it might be her this week). Thank you to those who have sent gifts and are sending gifts.

4th of July

What a wonderful 4th of July! We started the day out at the parade here in Rexburg and then had a family BBQ at Paul's sisters house. Later on we went for a long walk to go and rent some movies (and boy I am hurting pretty bad from that walk, in my uterus). Anyway then later we watched the fireworks from Paul's sister's apartment (they were okay nothing like what I like and have seen in Washington)! I hope that all of you had a wonder 4th of July!

Paul and Tanner

Here is Paul showing our Nephew the ropes of a motorcycle!

Motorcycle Project

Paul has had two motorcycle's that he has been working on and one is finally finished. Here is the before and after pictures! He cleaned it up quite a bit and also painted it himself (doesn't it look great I love the blue that we picked out). He now will be driving this to work until he sells it.

Seven Months

Alright everyone I am at 7 months and in count down mode. I had my doctors appointment yesterday (Friday the 29th)! Things are still looking great. This little baby boy has a healthy heartbeat of 137 bpm. He has been kicking a lot lately and he has just discovered my ribs. He is suppose to grow a bunch here at the end of the pregnancy so I hear (that means I am going to become a whole lot more uncomfortable).
I am getting pretty excited about my baby shower coming up July 14th not only will we get some cute stuff for the baby but I am also excited that I will get to see some friends that are not around here.

Pregnant Belly

My nephew and I relaxing, he does look a little more comfortable though using my belly as a arm rest!

Fishing

Well Paul had his day off from work today so we decided to go fishing together. We fished for 4 hours and caught a total of 7 fish (little fish) and we threw them back, but we didn't want to keep them anyway.

Memorial Day

Paul fishing!

Six Months

Hey everyone all is great with me and the baby! Three months to go! Let me tell you we are going to have a very active little boy, he kicks so much. He just discovered my bladder recently and I swear that he bounces on it, so once I get done going to the bathroom I feel like I have to go again instantly. I tell you aside from spending half of the day in the bathroom this part of the pregnancy is the most fun. I do have to tell you though that I couldn't help myself today Paul and I bought a few cute things. My doctors appointment went very well, the little one is doing great and has a heart beat of 141 bpm. My next appointment is June 29th.

Baby Update

Alright everyone has been waiting to find out what we are having. It is definitely a BOY! Here are the pictures. Okay I did as best as I could with the pictures if you look at the top one on both of them and to the left where it looks kind of round (you see it) now see that white thing sticking out yeah that's his thingy! And then on the bottom of both you can see the profile with the head on the right. He is so stinking cute!!!!!! I am sure you all think so!

Five Months

Five months baby! Pregnancy is not so bad once you get past the nausea (however I am sure I will be singing a different tune while I am in labor). I have my doctor's appointment tomorrow where we should be able to find out the sex of the baby as long as the little one is not shy. This little bundle of joy is so active kicking and punching and there are even times when it feels like he or she is doing flips (now that feels weird). I promise to let everyone know what happens tomorrow!

Sad News

It has been a rough couple of weeks. My Dad passed away last Friday April 20th. Thankfully because of my family I was able to be there. I was able to fly in Monday and have that week with him. It was as I would have liked it though, with him not being able to really have a converstion with him because of all of the meds he was on. We did experience something great while we were there though! When I arrived Monday and I got home to see him I gave him the biggest hug and kiss and then put his hand on my belly and the baby gave a great big kick!!! My Dad was the first to feel the baby other then me! Paul couldn't even feel the little one kick and it started kicking two weeks ago. So we figured it was mean't to be for Grandpa feeling the baby first!

Four Months

Sorry I haven't updated about my last appointment it was Monday the 9th. Everything went great with the doctor I am healthy and so is the baby. The babies heart beat is 138 beats per minute. We won't be able to find out the sex of the baby until the next appointment which is May 4th so keep up with the blog!

Harlem Globetrotters

Harlem Globetrotters

Harlem Globetrotters

The Harlem Globtrotters

Well, for part of my birthday present this year we bought tickets to the Harlem Globetrotters!!!! It was so awesome! We sat in the 3rd row on one of the ends. The picture you see is me with Showbiz Jackson who has been a globetrotter for 20 years. I am going to put the videos I got from the game on the blog. Make sure when you watch them you turn up the volume!

Good Week

Well for those who don't know Paul and I have started looking around for a different apartment (there is nothing is wrong with the one we are in). We have been looking for one that would fit our financial and physical needs a little better. We also decided that the place that we find would probably be the place we will stay in until were done with school here. Well we found one, and sold the contract for the apartment we have now. This new apartment would make a lot of you laugh because the kitchen and bathrooms have a 70's theme (it is quite funny). But the nice thing though is that it feels like more of a home. And a even bigger plus for Paul is that its comes with a garage (which he is extremely excited about)! I will be sure to post pictures once we have moved in.

Three Month's

Well I am three month's along, yea! I have a tiny pooch, and being so skinny I can feel my uterus expanding which is an interesting feeling. Paul is getting so excited for this baby to start kicking, more so now because he knows it's getting close to the time the movement of the baby can be felt (I hope that made sense). We are getting more and more excited for this baby as the days and month's go by.

1st Doctor Visit

Look what we got today! Yep it's our baby. I have never seen Paul's smile so big or his eyes but hey I bet I had the same expression on my face too. They didn't do a whole lot today just the ultrasound and some drawing of blood. I have another appointment on March 12 so I will let you all know how that goes.

Valentine's Day

Paul and I on Valentine's Day and as you can see we didn't go out. Instead of going out we made an amazing dinner and it was so yummy!!! We had steak with four cheese pasta and peas. And let me tell you I think the baby liked it because I didn't feel sick at all afterward.

Two Months

This week I hit two months and now there are seven still to go! I am still not showing, however I have already received so maternity clothes from my sister Gretchen. Yes I am still enjoying the nausea part (I am so ready for this nausea to magically disappear). I would like it to be at the fun part like finding out the sex of the baby or start feeling the baby move and the kick. I'm really not a big fan of feeling sick all the time.

Family Time

Aunts and Uncle

It was so great to have my Uncle and Aunts in town while we were there, its good to see them whenever we can.

Grandma Freeman

In all the craziness of the weekend I got introduce my wonderful husband to my only living grandparent who I love dearly (my mom's mom). So this is us at her house.

Our Trip to Washington

Well we just got back today from our weekend trip to Washington. We had a blast mostly because we got to see family. My Dad looked pretty good even though he didn't feel very good. My Aunts and Uncle also came into town to visit as well. It was also exciting that our entire family was able to be there for the family picture. So like I said it was a great trip and it was great to see my Dad.
