Happy Anniversary - 3 years

Our anniversary landed on a Sunday this year.

Since Andy is charge of odd years, this was his year to plan.

Unfortunately, I thought I had a bladder infection and was just in a lot of pain Thu-Sat which was when he had planned on doing a getaway. 

We decided to postpone the getaway for a couple weeks that way we could go to 

St. George instead of just Salt Lake!

So the weekend of our actual anniversary was pretty low key which was just perfect!

Saturday night we went to the UVU Baseball game against New Mexico State.

We went with Phill and the kids, as well as my dad.

Sunday, the day of our anniversary, we ended up playing hooky from church to take a nice long nap.

After our nap we got ready and Andy came up with the idea to go on a picnic to the park with the dogs for lunch. 

We loaded up our stuff and the dogs and went over to Timpview Baseball Field.

It was the perfect little afternoon spent with just our tiny little family.

(When we get back from St. George I'll post again!)

Happy 3rd Anniversary Babe!

It's been one of the toughest years but I wouldn't change any of it because without it we wouldn't be this close. I cannot wait to bring this baby into our family and to see you strive as a father.

Nothing is perfect but I'm so thankful you are trying everyday with me to make it that way!

I continually fall deeper and deeper in love with you every day.

Thanks for continuing to figure out this crazy marriage stuff with me!

I love you!

Love, B

  

21 Weeks

How far along? 21 Weeks 6 Days

Weight gain? Back to my original weight again! Hopefully I stay content and don't gain a ton...

Maternity Clothes? Yes! They are heaven sent honestly. (Well most of them are, maternity g's right now...no thank you.)

Stretch marks? Not that I know of right now.

Sleep? Nothing different then normal I feel like.

Best moment this week? Seeing the baby move and having Andy feel the baby!

Miss anything? Not really honestly...? Maybe a normal back that isn't always in pain!

Cravings? I have had a rootbeer float almost every day but it's not like I'd die if I didn't haha!

Any Aversions? I don't really have aversions, but I've noticed if I eat something I like too much then I throw up randomly one day...

Showing? Yes

Belly button in or out?  Pretty close to being all the way out

Wedding ring on or off? On for the most part

Happy or Moody?  Mostly happy, but have been in a lot of pain with thinking I had a bladder infection then them saying it was just normal baby growing pains, plus my back being whacky anyway!

Looking forward to? Seeing this baby move more and more. I can't get enough of it!

20 Weeks

How far along? 20 weeks 3 days

Weight gain? I'm almost back to my weight when I started, about 4 more pounds to go to get back!

Maternity Clothes? Not yet, but really need some pants at least!

Stretch marks? Not that I know of or have noticed.

Sleep? Decently, about the same as I did pre-pregnancy.

Best moment this week? We got to see the baby last week! It was awesome! Plus, being in our house finally and starting to set things up!

Miss anything? My back not hurting every move I make

Cravings? I don't feel like I really crave anything, just whatever sounds good.

Any Aversions? Not really, but if something doesn't sound good then I definitely don't want it.

Showing? I believe that I am, but other people always tell me I don't even look pregnant. I think it truly depends on what I'm wearing as well as time of day sort of.

Belly button in or out? Slowly becoming an out-y, my belly button really has never been a deep one so it's only a matter of time before it's popped!

Wedding ring on or off? On, but usually when I leave the house. So if I stay home all day then I don't usually have it on.

Happy or Moody?  Definitely depends on the day/moment. I feel more emotional this last week than normal.

Looking forward to? Getting the nursery put together. Maybe buying the crib sometime in the near future!

Easter 2015

Easter this year was on General Conference weekend.

We decided that we would eat breakfast with Andy's parents and watch the first session, then eat dinner with my family after the second session.

It was a great year to reflect on how we are doing and  things we  need to work on to be more Christlike.

I love conference so much, and it's crazy to think that just next conference we'll have a tiny babe to cuddle!

The easter egg hunt was done after the afternoon session on Sunday, right before dinner.

Andy and I decided to throw the Easter Egg hunt this year since it was only the three kids doing it.

We did different colors for each kid.

Ryan was blue/green, Kendrick was red/orange, and Paige was pink.

We hid everyone's according to their age (difficult vs easy).

It was fun to follow the kids around and see them finding all the eggs.

I took tons of pictures of Paige cause she just sat there and let me.

I love these kids so much!

Can't wait to have one of our own running around with them.

Happy Easter everyone!

16 Weeks

How far along? 16 Weeks 6 Days

Weight gain? I'm slowly gaining back the weight I had lost!

Maternity Clothes? Not yet, but definitely need to go out and get something.

Stretch marks? Not yet.

Sleep? It's so so, some nights I sleep great, but other nights are horrible, no in betweens.

Best moment this week? Spending time with Andy for my birthday.

Miss anything? Not really anything this week.

Cravings? Haven't had any real cravings still, but food isn't as repulsive anymore.

Any Aversions? Chicken usually, but not always.

Showing? Some days I look bigger than other days.

Belly button in or out? In, but my belly button has never been super in, so it's only a matter of time before it pops!

Wedding ring on or off? On

Happy or Moody? Both, usually I'll get a little sad but not too often.

Looking forward to? A growing belly! Can't wait to actually look pregnant not chubby. Also excited for our appointment to see the baby, not for a few weeks though.

15 Weeks

How far along? 15 Weeks 3 Days

Weight gain? 3 pounds since my appointment!

Maternity Clothes? No, I really need to go shopping..

Stretch marks? Nope

Sleep? Not the best, but I know it's better than how it'll be later on!

Best moment this week? Being able to eat a whole meal, as well as this weather lately! It's so amazing outside!

Miss anything? Laying on my stomach (only when I'm laying on a blanket outside is when I want to be on my stomach though!)

Cravings? Nothing really honestly!

Any Aversions? Still just depends on the day.

Showing? Just a little bit  

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding ring on or off? On

Happy or Moody? Both, but mostly happy

Looking forward to? Just a new week of eating things that I haven't been able to in the past without getting sick.

14 Weeks

How far along? 14 Weeks 6 Days

Weight gain? Nope, I've lost 12 pounds, BUT finally am getting my appetite back.

Maternity Clothes? Not yet, but I really should because I have this indent where my pants and everything sits.

Stretch marks? Not yet

Sleep? My doctor told me I can't sleep on my back and that has been the worst! I thought it was only my stomach, so now I have to find another comfortable spot to sleep in. I wake up a lot because I find myself on my back and so I have to roll to my side. 

Best moment this week? Hearing the baby heartbeat again! It's just so surreal! We also scheduled our appointment for 20 weeks with the UltraSound! WE ARE NOT FINDING OUT THE GENDER though!

Miss anything? Honestly, not having to eat this often. It's so overwhelming and tiring to find something to eat as often as I need to so I don't get sick.

Cravings? Nothing totally yet. I made Peanut Butter Rice Krispies because they sounded good but it wasn't life or death if I didn't have them! I also eat a lot of french fries and fry sauce. 

Any Aversions? It totally depends! Sometimes things are amazing then the next day it makes me so sick.

Showing? Yes, but not enough for anyone who sees me can tell.

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding ring on or off? On usually

Happy or Moody? Happy usually, but sometimes I get sad for no reason.

Looking forward to? Eating more and hopefully gaining back the weight!
