22nd Birthday

A couple of weeks ago I turned 22! I had a wonderful, relaxing day. Ben brought me breakfast in bed and took me to the movies. My mom and dad had flowers delivered to my house and my mother in law sent me a box FULL of wonderful gifts. I included a picture of my favorite one :-)

This was me on my birthday (31 weeks) but now I'm 33 weeks and only getting bigger!

The Best 3 Years

For our anniversary, we went to New York City. Well, not really New York, New York, but New York, Idaho Falls. We visited Desination's Inn, a hotel full of themes and cheesecake (Dixie was way excited about the prospect of cheesecake). We had a really great time, but pictures are more meaningful than words. Okay, maybe not, but without further ado:

28 big fat weeks

Although I have enjoyed being pregnant (mostly), I can't wait to have my body back to myself!

Ben's Birthday

Ben's birthday was yesterday. I think he had a great day. We stayed up until midnight the night before so he could open his presents. I woke up with him that morning and made him pancakes while he got ready for school. When he came home he had his confetti cupcakes with purple frosting, as requested and Little Caeser's Pizza. We also played X-Box together and snuggled with the doggies. Everyone did their best to do whatever Ben wanted all day. He got a ton of phone calls too, which he loved!

Ben wore one of his new shirts from his mom and his new watch from me!

Left for Dead...a zombie game for x-box where fat zombies puke on you and "smoker" zombies strangle you with their tongues. Sounds fun, right?

The Crib

Ben and I got to set up our crib recently. We did a lot of research and picked one that we really liked. Unfortunately, I didn't get the camera out until all that was left was putting the wheels on. Ben was a great sport and we figured the very confusing directions out together. We love it!!


We had to try it out with the doggies. The "mattress" in the pic is obviously not the one we're keeping in there.




The finished product!

We're having...

A BOY!!!!!

Unfortunately, both Ben's and my disk drive is broken so we can't put our ultrasound pictures on here quite yet.  We are SO excited!! 

a few pics...

So I finally uploaded some pictures.  This is me at 19 weeks, but as of today I'm 21 weeks :)  Still not very big...

This is my final drawing for advanced figure.  

Here is my latest sewing project that left the sewing room COVERED in little bits of terry cloth. 

By the way...I feel the need to say that Ben's hair does NOT look like that anymore.  I made him cut it.
