it's a GIRL

Last week Matt and I went to fetal photos to find out early the gender of our little baby. They did an ultrasound and the feisty little one wouldnt show their goods. The umbilical cord was wrapped between the legs. So we got a voucher to come back again. We waited with anticipation and we went on Thursday and got some good shots and saw her moving around-

her Profile

and nothing dangling...hahah, ITS A GIRL!

After we found out we went to Carter's and bought some cute girly clothes and this little monkey bib.

 Welcome the PINK

 Matt is going to be an adorable daddy to his little princess. 

 and I cant wait to be a mommy!

 We are SOO excited for October and this little bundle of joy to join our family!!

Easter Festivities

I love Easter Time! I am so thankful for our Savior, Jesus Christ and His resurrection. 

Every Saturday before Easter my Grandma Witt takes us all to Chuck-A-Rama for lunch

and back to her house for an Easter egg hunt afterwards. Love this lady!

It was fun seeing everyone and spending time with family. 

Sunday we died eggs. I tried a new method and put a tablespoon of vegetable oil in the color dish to help some of the eggs have a "marble" look. 

Matt on Easter morning.

and me....too early for a picture but I love the flowers and candy Matt got me!

After church we went to my parents house for Easter Dinner. 

I have the cutest nieces and nephews ever!

Carson, Kenzie, Mikell and Jackson

Our little family

Our big family

my attempt at Easter egg Rice Krispy treats filled with jelly beans

We had an Easter egg hunt after dinner in my parents backyard 

(I stole this collage from my sister's blog)

While searching for plastic eggs with candy inside, I found this real egg up in a nest. I love spring time!

 Now if the snow would just stop it! and Spring could come. I'm actually ready for summer. I love holidays! Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!

Pregnancy, fishies, haircuts

I'm starting to show a little (14 weeks along)-

 This little baby is inside. Look how cute he/she has his/her arm aross the forhead. Love this little baby. It was so awesome to see him/her move around.

 Our new fish tank. Matt got a great deal at this ward auction. Now we have 17 awesome fish!

 On Saturday I went swimming with Melinda, Mikell, Kenzie and Marcus at my apartment pool and hot tub. It was so much fun. Matt took Baxter to Petco to get a haircut. When I went to pick him up the lady at the front desk said, "The Mohawk turned out really cute!" I was like what the!?! A MOHAWK?! but it is actually really cute! And I got him this little Fetch shirt because he is obsessed! We love this little guy!

 Look at him! just adorable.
I also got some red in my hair- Baxter and I both got fun changes for the summer!

 I cant wait to find out if we are having a girl or boy!! (we might go to fetal fotos to find out early.......)

Week 13

How far along – 13 weeks

Maternity clothes - Not yet really but I do have to undo the top button on my pants sometimes and use the hair elastic trick lol.

Weight gain -like 7 pounds...my clothes are getting a little tight

Stretch marks - I had my first dream about being pregnant this week. I had really bad stretchmarks- when I woke up i checked my side in a panic- still no stretch marks. Thank you!

Sleep - I feel like I"m pretty much back to a regular sleeping schedule. I have a hard time waking up and feeling good in the morning but i dont know if that has anything to do with being pregnant...cuz I've always hating mornings.

Best moment this week - Celebrating Matt's Birthday and eating dinner at the Cheesecake Factory! and watching TV/relaxing with matt all weekend. Our double date with mom and dad and eating cafe rio.

Movement - Nothing yet...that I can feel but i know he/she is moving in there!

Food I'm loving - PASTA!

Food I'm hating - Pickles on a chicken sandwich from Chic-fil-a.

Symptoms - Threw up today while brushing my teeth. ew! Gag a lot. Motion sickness and bad head aches.

Gender - We find out May 13!!!

What I'm looking forward to -The weekend!

What I miss - Hot tubbing

Weekly wisdom -Marry an awesome guy that will stay with you through everything and help you when you need him. Matt makes the BEST spaghetti.

Emotions - This week has been pretty rough... Saturday I had a breakdown because Baxter got into some Benadryl I accidentally left out and I was soo worried. But luckily he's okay. I hope the rest of the week is happier!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Yesterday my hubby turned 23! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT!

He is the best husbsand ever and I cant even express in words how thankful I am to have him in my life. He is my best friend and makes me smile everyday. He is so positive and knows there is a solution to everything. He is a hard worker, very smart, and the most determined person I've ever met. He is very generous and always willing to help others. He is going to be the best daddy in the world. I think he knows me better than I know myself and loves me no matter what. He is actually becoming quite the cook since I've been pregnant. Thanks for all you do babe! (I dont think he ever reads this- but just in case) 

On Sunday I baked him a cake for his family dinner at his aunt and uncle's house. Monday we went to Best Buy and Chick-Fil-A (his two favorite places.) We love watching Bones, our new favorite TV series on Netflix.

We also like watching The Event, American Idol and Modern Family.

On April 7, his b-day, we went to the Cheescake factory for dinner and dessert with his parents and it was delicious! He got new clothes and 2 new hard drives.

I LOVE YOU MATT! Hope this year is the best!

Week 12

How far along – 12 weeks, Can you believe I'm almost done with my first trimester!
Maternity clothes - My awesome mother-in-law got me a new maternity undershirt that i'd wear everyday if it wasnt disgusting to wear the same thing for a week straight, a belly band, and some leggins that I LOVE. Havent really figured out the belly band but it'll come.

Weight gain - According to the doctor's scale I've gained 6 pounds since my pre pregnancy weight (3 pounds since my last appointment) But my weight fluctuates a lot and my scale at home doesnt say I weigh that much.

Stretch marks - Thank heavens no.

Sleep - I woke up in the middle of the night for the first time last night (well 4 AM) to go pee and I couldnt fall back to sleep for a half an hour. I love sleep and I'm really sleepy after 9. I've been so busy this week, I havent slept as much.
Best moment this week - (lots!)

1. Hearing our baby's heart beat so fast! and seeing the ultra sound. The baby would move its arms around and put his/her arm across the forhead. So cute!! It has doubled in size and actually looks more like a little baby than a bean. I love him/her and cant wait to be a mom!
2. Buying a new car- Thanks Matt, Kady, Mountain America and man who hit me (well his insurance)
3. Bowling with Gramee, Poppi, Matt and Colby [I WON!! woot! woot!]
4. Dancing on Kinect with my family at Chad's birthday party
5. My event at work on Friday went flawlessly
6. Secret Life of the American Teenager is back on!
7. General Conference- I cant wait to be a mother!!
8. Favorite Foods Dinner at Bryan and Janalee's on Sunday
9. Having the best husband in the world who makes me breakfast and loves me

Movement - We saw the baby moving so much in the ultra sound. I wish I could see it everyday to remind me how excited I am and how cute he/she is!

Food I'm loving - Everything. Cheese, wendy's, pudding, toaster strudles. When I smell food instead of getting neaseaus I just want to eat it!

Food I'm hating - I dont like Cafe rio or ice cream as much as I used to.

Symptoms - still throuwing up, gagging, motion sickness in the car, head aches, starting to have to urinate more often, feels like someone is pressing my bladder when I try to sleep

Gender - Could go either way.....

What I'm looking forward to -

• Findning out what gender I'm having in May (at my next appt.)
• Being DONE with the first trimester and hopefully feeling better
• Going on our cruise for our one year anniversary May 29

What I miss - staying up late

Weekly wisdom - When you stay busy you dont think about how sick you feel. But make sure you still get a lot of sleep or it'll catchup to you andyou'll be an emotional wreck!

Emotions - This week has for sure been the worst, from an emotional standpoint. I dont know if its lack of sleep or if I'm just crazy. But yesterday I cried I think 7 times, including both times I was at the credit union, while watching TV, being irritated and grumpy, etc. I threw up at work this week in the garbage can in the break room and I just sat on the floor and cried for a few minutes. I was just a mess. Today I'm feeling great and much more stable. Lol. Joys of pregnancy!

MY NEW...

CAR!!!!

I got this 2006 Honda Civic EX from Wade Auto Group and I LOVE it!!!

My phone camera isnt that great and I'm in a garage at work but here she is....

Thanks Matt for putting up with my roller coaster of emotions (car shopping isnt my favorite thing in the world...esp when I'm pregnant!) But I'm glad the search is over, I got money from the guys insurance who hit me, and I am the proud owner of my first HONDA CIVIC!
