Week 10!

So... I am currently 10 weeks and 2 days today! Still sick, I have better days than others. Lately I have had a lot of bad days...oh the sickness, its horrible, but I have heard its a good sign that the baby is growing healthy and all is well! So thats what helps keep me going and of course knowing the sweet little thing will be in my arms before I know it. The more I think about it the more excited I get. I mean c'mon I am a quarter done already only 3 more to go, right? I can get excited already!

We have our first appointment on Tuesday! So looking forward to hearing the little heartbeat:) :) Ah, reality, its just so crazy, but AWESOME!

Next Friday we head to TN for Christmas for a week and we are SOO excited. Well I am, I know Brad is too. I cannot wait to see my family and my little nephew! I only went home once this year and was only really home for three days due to travel to Brads Basic Training Graduation, so it will so great to just relax with my family, and Brad right beside me. My momma's home cooking is for sure calling my name! Also, grandmas too! (Praying I won't be as sick then!)

I love going home....I love that care-free relax feeling I get when I am there. That comfort I suppose. I know I have that within my own home, but its different being home home. Excited for the family traditions that we do together, and I love that there is food at every event. Have I mentioned how excited I am to eat some delicious mexican food! Utah doesn't seem to have any good mexican restaraunts to me, it is different out east I suppose! lol

So happy to see my beautiful loving family, and for the future! :)

Pregnancy!

So, yes. We are pregnant. Currently I am 9.5 weeks pregnant and still very sick. Oh the sickness can be so hard some days when I am trying to go to work and everything. Throwing up is pretty much the normal these days. I have learned as long as I keep my stomach full I do not get sick..so I am trying my hardest to keep my stomach full, but than its hard to do that because no food looks good. It's pretty much a lose-lose situation but I know it will be so worth it.

Brad and I are so happy that we are going to be parents. It is still very hard to believe that we are going to be parents. Ah, its crazy! We can't wait to find out the sex of our baby and all the fun times to come!

Our first Dr. Appt will be December 14th, coming up soon! We are looking forward to hearing the heart beat and such. We have already done this and got our first ultra sound because there is a place in the mall out here that you can get them done, so at 7 weeks 2 days we went and had that done. Got to see our little fetus and hear the heart beat, again it seemed unreal, I was like "are you sure thats in my stomach??" So much fun!

Well I am going to try to update week to week on changes and what is going on with me, so for now, just keep trekking it through the sickness :) Trying to have a smile on my face. Also I have exhaustion, lol, so thats hard some days too!The day we found out picture! Around 4 weeks then.
Here I am at about 9 weeks! Only a slight change. (but I feel bigger due to bloating all the time)First baby hold picture! lolHere is the baby at 7 weeks 2 days...so little. crazy to think its tripled the size since than!

Christmas Decor for 2010

Christmas 2010! Here are some of our decorations! every year I try to get something new and obviously I am in love with Snowmen! They are too cute. So a lot of my decor is snowmen. Enjoy the pictures :)

Here is our new snowmen globe!
This is our new snowman Christmas countdown!

Scrapbooking...??

On October 22 I went to my first scrap booking event in Idaho with my mother-in-law, and sister-in-law's. You needed to bring your own stuff (in which I did not have) but I did make some really cute cards and it was good to just spend time with the girls in the family. Maybe next year I can go again....and maybe have some scrapbooking stuff to participate more!

Ice Cream :)

So one of my favorite things to do is eat ice cream (okay not ever since this pregnancy though) I love ice cream. Sub Zero ice cream is one of my favorites. Brad and I went one night, and it was so delicious and fun. This was right before I found out I was pregnant, and it was the last time I ate ice cream :) Here are some pics from that night.

Its about time.. I know!

Okay ALL. My goal is to update this blog weekly, telling about what is going on with my life and of course pregnancy. I think it will be a fun way to look back and see how I felt and the changes my body went through. I am really excited about this and of course I hope to make this a great habit so when the baby comes I can update his/her life along with ours.

So lets see how this goes!

Almost here...

Well its here! Brad will be home on Friday for good, unless he gets deployed! Lets not hope for that....Cant wait! Nothing else to say....

ToTaLlY ExCiTeD!

So.... yes.....I am way excited for many reasons.

1. Brad passed his biggest test in his training. (yes!)

2. I am flying out to see my wonderful husband next weekend! (yes!)

3. It is summer..and I love that it is summer...

4. We are going on a cruise in OCTOBER to Mexico!

5. Brad only has about 2 months left of training...he will finally be home again!

6. I LOVE my life!

All in all...I stay way busy with work, which is a good thing, and I love hanging out with my friends and skyping with my hubby every night!

Whats been going on lately...

So an update on our lives!

I am currently still working at GOALØ as a junior designer, and I love it. My job definitely keeps me busy and keeps me on my toes, but that is good since Brad is away. I try to stay busy by hanging out with friends and trying new things, such as reading. I am usually not a big reader, and I am still not, but I am reading a book, which is not often for me. I am also just keeping up with our cute duplex I (we) live in, and have made some cute decorations for it. All in all I am doing good.

Brad is still gone away at his training for the Army. He is doing really good, and good news, we SKYPE now...so we can actually see each other while we talk. I am so thankful for wonderful technology. Seeing each other helps a lot. Brad said he is very hot and that he is tired of running..but you can't blame him, he does it all the time. Brad has become friends with some good guys and he seems to be enjoying himself where he is, minus me not being there of course, and his lack of sleep sometimes is very annoying to him. He is happy all in all though.

Brad gets tto come home JULY 4th weekend and we are super excited of course. Always look forward to time together! Every minute together is so precious:) His estimated graduation date is September 30th, than he will be with me all the time. Definitely looking forward to living with my husband again.

Pretty much that sums up what is going on around here. If I dont get on here again before July 4th I will say it now

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! Bless all the soldiers fighting for our country and the ones serving our country!

Where to begin.

Life....oh life. It takes us to where we never thought that we would go, but somehow it always turns out good, or even better.
Each day I wake up, take a deep breath, and think of my sweet sweet husband. I than proceed to do the usual routine, shower, makeup, get dressed, and go to work. I try to feel happy everyday but I understand this is a hard thing to do, especially with me being alone all the time...no family, just me and the mountains, well it at least feels that way sometimes. But I know Brad is where he is supposed to be and me where I am supposed to be. This long journey of 7 month training being apart is no fun at all, but its nothing I want people to feel sorry for me about either. I am so happy with the decision Brad and I made for him joining the military...This whole situation has brought us to an amazing couple, that will continue to get better and better.

Its funny. I am so different than the person Brad married 2 years ago, but in a good way. I have been faced with many challenges but I believe everything happens for a reason, and those challenges have made me be the person I am today, a better person, friend, sister, and especially a better wife.

Brad...oh my Brad. You make me a better person, and make me want to be a better person. You have showed me patience, and you have always been by my side, through the thick and thin, and I can't say how many times over and over again THANK YOU! I know we are where we are today because of heavenly father above, we are so blessed. I am so blessed to have you.

Why yes, we are sad being apart, but these months will go fast...and we will be together again. But, for now...we do what we have known to do from the beginning...fall or be in love over the phone. Thank goodness for cell phones :)

We can do this babe! We can.

All in all, life may be full of surprises and changes may happen, but I know one thing, no matter what happens, as long as my husband is by my side, I will get through anything.
