The Joys of being prego..

As I sit here enjoying the free minute I have now that classes are over, and finals are starting I decided I needed to document a few things about this pregnancy that I haven't yet, so here goes...

-Luckily I did not get morning sickness, i got night sickness. So not fun. I would throw up every night. JK once said, "it sucks that you get sick, but if you were going to get sick I hoped it would be in the morning while I was at working so that you were in a good mood when I got home." poor guy.

- Every ultra sound we've had  our little man has been measuring big, maybe that means he will be early :)

- I have had 6 ultra sounds so far which I absolutely loved! I went to my 24 week ultra sound last week and it was the first one without an ultra sound and man it was so not as cool. Getting weighed, and seeing how much my belly has grown was not that fun.

- Every time I hear his heart beat my heart melts for this little man. 

- I suck at cooking now, I really do feel bad for JK. I have even stopped baking for the most part which is odd for me. 

- I could sleep like 15 hours a day and still be tired. 

- I have to pee constantly, but when I go I swear only like two drops come out. 

- After about week 14 night sickness got better which was the best ever. 

- Not being able to sleep on my stomach is rough, but luckily I got a nice body pillow that has helped me to be comfortable. 

- I love salads, but lettuce does not sit well with me, but I still eat it anyways.

- LOVE when JK puts his hand on my belly.

- I have super nose now. Everything stinks to me.

- I was doing pretty good for awhile with not being grumpy and moody, but apparently the past two weeks it has returned.

- My first mental breakdown: JK wouldn't give me any ideas of what to make for dinner, and nothing sounded good so I just started bawling. JK ended up eating something out of the freezer and I made cookies, of course by the time I finished making them they didn't sound good so I didn't eat a single one.

- Second mental breakdown: I was supposed to bring a treat to the youth in the ward who came and helped clean the chapel on sunday, but we didn't get home until late and didn't want to be baking all night so I started bawling once again. JK just kept telling me that we can go to the store and just buy something, but i am so weird and do not like to buy pre-made treats so I just threw a little fit. In the end JK was right and we went and bought some ice cream treats and everyone loved them. 

- I finally felt him move for the first time and oh man it is the most amazing thing in the world.

- I have the worst heartburn EVER! 

- I have started to realize how hot this summer is going to be with a large belly.

- When we found out it was a boy he somehow got the name of "Fred" so for now that is his name, but that will NOT be his name when he is born.

- Most importantly We love this little boy more than anything in the world and cannot wait to meet him!

March 2012

I am still just terrible at keeping up on the blog but with out lives changing so fast lately I know I need to document these times. To start off March we headed down to Vegas for a good ol' white trash weekend of Nascar with JK's parents. It was so much fun as always. Probably one of the best places to people watch! My favorite part of the day was the fact that I got a funnel cake which I had been craving! YUMM!! Another fun event that we were able to attend was the blue angels which I think that the entire city of st. George attended. It was a blast to be able to spend time with the family

Happy 2012!

wow. So much for my new years resolution of keeping up with the blog better. Here is a quick catch up on what is happening in our lives... the biggest news is that we are expected our first baby in August and it's a BOY! We could not be happier and are so excited for this next part of our lives. I am now in my second semester in the Elementary Education program and because the baby is due in August I will be taking one semester off then will for sure finish my bachelors degree! only one year left! I plan on keeping details about this pregnancy better, but with school and the joys that come along with being pregnant I have not had the time or energy to do so. So hopefully i can do a little better now that I am feeling better.

In January Kacen and Tanya invited us to take a drive on up to Zions with plans on doing a little hike. Little did we know it would be freaking freezing, so it turned more into a drive than a hike but was still fun to take a drive.

The first part of February we were lucky enough to take a trip up to SLC to see my sister and her husband sealed in the temple. It was such an amazing ceremony and we feel so blessed to have been able to attend. I look forward to any time that my whole family can get together.

For Valentines day we spent a wonderful evening at home with a home cooked meal. We did not want to deal with all the people out to eat so I made Chicken Alfredo, cupcakes, and chocolate covered Strawberries. It is so nice to be able to just relax together since life has been so busy. We also decided it was time to take the first "belly" picture. This is at 13 weeks, so not much there yet just a tiny pudge. JK was feeling left out so we took one of his belly too, now we are trying to decide who is actually carrying the baby. haha I am now 17 weeks and will try and post a picture sometime over the next week.

Last weekend we were lucky enough to go down to vegas to see JK race. He raced the road course this time which is way different than the circle track. He had a blast and the weather was so amazing nearly 80 degrees.

December 2011

November must have been an extra busy month, because I do not seem to have a single picture from then. December was also pretty busy with trying to finish up my first semester in the Elementary Education program and JK has been working hard with school and working full time! We were able to sneak away to Pine Valley the weekend with some friends and it was a nice getaway! Utah has not had much snow this year, so JK was in heaven when we happened to get a big snow storm while we were up there. We all had a blast hanging out with friends and playing in the snow. After finals were over we also were able to have our ugly sweater party with our friends. My camera broke so I wasn't able to get any pictures of that. JK's dad got called to be the biship and so he is busy with that a lot! JK's brother brecken also left on his mission on December 21, he will be serving in the Toronto Canada mission and we are so excited for him! Christmas was such a great time, we were able to spend time with both our families, the perks of having them both live in St. George! We are so grateful for all the many blessing we were blessed with this year and we cannot wait to see what 2012 has in store for us! hopefully I will be a better blogger!

Way Behind...October 2011

I turned into such a slacker with the blog once school got into full swing. I didn't realize how time consuming it would all be, so of course my new years resolution is to keep up on our blog this year so I thought I had better fill everyone in on what we did through the rest of the year. In September my mom took me and my sisters and nieces to the taylor swift concert in Salt Lake. It was a very quick trip because I had to be back to school by 730 Thursday morning, but I must admit it was totally worth it! We had so much fun and I love being able to spend time with my family! Next thing that happened was one day JK just decided it could be a good idea to shave his head. I thought he was joking, but next thing I knew he was leaning over the tub shaving it all off! And of course to end out October we had our halloween party with our friends and it was a blast as usual.
