A slacker with good reasoning

I have been a big slacker on posting some pictures and most of you know by now that we are going to be bringing a little boy into the world! We were soo excited to find out and it has been a blast going to the baby section every time we walk into a clothing store. With only having just over a week before we move life has been pretty crazy. With work, school,the holidays, baby shower planning, registering,and packing, time has been flying. Now if only I could say that about the pregnancy! It seems like it has taken forever to get to the 20 week mark but the more time we have to get ready the better. These ultra sound pics are when he was 18 weeks and when we found out it was a boy!

Kinda creepy but his face is looking right at you down on the bottom right. The skin is still see through so our little guy still looked more like a cute little skeleton =)

I don't think there is any doubt that it's a boy...

This is me at 20 weeks. I have been loving every little kick and punch I feel throughout the day. Mike can't wait to be able to feel him. I am feeling pretty good considering everything we have been up to!

This past Thursday we made a family trip down to the LA temple as a family to do a session and walk around the temple and see the lights. We had such a fun time and I loved the spirit that was felt in the temple. It was a great thing to do with the family before we leave.

14 week scare!!

A couple weeks ago Mike and I went in for our fourteen week appointment. The nurse was using those old school heart beat monitors and was having a really hard time finding it so of course Mike and I were getting very nervous! She kept trying but nothing so she decided to do an emergancy ultra sound. Now any of you who have gone through this know how scarey this is. Luckily everthing was ok but boy was our little one all over the place! I could not get over how much it was moving!! No wonder they couldnt find the heart beat! The best part was our little buggie decided to take a break and suck on its thumb it was soo cute!! We have decided our little one is not shy at all and just wanted everyone to see it again!

This is the top of the head and the arm is the thing sticking up.

This is me at 16 weeks....my belly just keeps growing and growing!! I can't wait till we find out the sex!! Only two more weeks from Friday!!

Proud of our pumpkins

Mike and I were pretty proud this year of our pumpkins. I really wanted to do something out of the ordinary and not so easy. Well we spent a few hours on our pumpkins on Halloween day and it was alot of work but we had a lot of fun and I would say it was worth it...

Mike did this one which was my favorite. It doesnt even look like a pumpkin! It is Michael Myers...

After carving pumpkins we headed over to Mike's parents house for a family halloween party, it was lots of fun dressing up and eating yummy food and being with family.

Marley our niece is so cute and she had the cutest little outfit on...I loved it!

I luckily already had a costume so I was Alice in Wonderland and Beky was the Mad Hatter

Marley was such a cute little lady bug!!

Halloween time at Disneyland!

It has been soo hard knowing we will not be renewing our passes at the end of November when they expire so we have been trying to soak up everything we can before it's too late. We had such a blast this past Tuesday with my mom experiencing Halloween time at Disneyland. We went to see the firework show they have on for Halloween and it was worth waiting two hours to see! We loved it! We had great spots in the front of the castle and loved every minute of it! They had this huge ball that would project faces which was lots of fun!!

You can only imagine the herd of people after the show and the park had just closed so we went through some open shops to entertain oursleves.

Even though I am pretty limited on the rides I can go on now, Mike and I are really going to miss Disneyland especially during the Holidays...

12 weeks!

We were finally able to have our first ultra sound in my 12th week last week. I had heard the heart beat before but never seen our little one so you can only imagine how anxious we were and excited to finally see our baby!! It was soo fun to see it moving and floating around! I am feeling pretty good, I would'nt say I have had morning sickness cause it is pretty much a throughout the day thing. I just have days where not one thing sounds good to eat so it makes it real fun trying to plan dinners. The only thing I crave really is salty foods. We still can't beleive I am pregnant and are soo excited to find out what our little buggie is!!

This was taken right in the begining of my 12th week. I feel like I am showing soo quickly!!

First hockey game!

Mike and I were lucky enough to be invited to the Ducks game this past Thursday by our good friends Jared and Amanda. It was mine and Mike's first hockey game and we thought it was alot of fun! We would have to say the best part was when they would fight and I think the whole crowd felt the same way. We had great seats so we were really close to the glass which made the experience even better! Even though the Ducks lost we still thought it was blast! Thanks again Jared and Amanda!!
