Valentines

So Kyle and I decided we weren't going to do much for each other this year for Valentines seeing how we have to pay a fortune in taxes this year. I told him to just take me on a nice simple date on Friday night. So when I jumped in the shower Kyle took off and he came back at 6:30 to pick me up. He rung the doorbell and he had a huge balloon which was a recordable one to say a message and a bouquet of flowers and a sinlge rose for his little baby valentine :) We just went out to dinner at Brick Oven and then came home and attempted to watch The Notebook which didn't last long b/c we both fell asleep at 9:30. Then on Saturday (actual V-day) we had a bunch of people over from 7-peaks for a nice Italian dinner. We thought it would be easier and more fun to do it this way instead of standing in lines forever for an over priced meal. So we had everyone bring a portion of the dinner and I made Lasagna, salad, and garlic bread with lots of dessert to follow. It was delicious!!!! After we all just hung out and played Wii.

Update...

Sorry guys...I promised an update after the ultrasound and then never gave one. So we went to the doctors and went straight in for the ultrasound. The lady tried to go straight to the baby's crotch to let us know if it was a boy or girl (she didn't know that we already knew the sex). Well, it being my child, she was being stubborn and didn't want to open her legs to let us take a peep. So we continued with the ultrasound and made sure all the measurements were on tract and that the baby did look great. We kept going back and forth to the bum and face b/c she wouldn't take her hands down from her face either. Anyways, we were poking around at her so she would move and let us get a good shot of both. Finally we were able to get the shots we wanted, but apparently she wasn't too excited about us poking her. The lady printed off the pictures of our beautiful baby girl and this was the very first picture we saw........

She definately has my blood!!!

Yep...that is her flipping her parents off!! Can't wait to meet this little ball of fire. hahaha

Here are some pictures of my sister and I. Yes, this is a recent picture and the explaination of the tree being up still is b/c we still hadn't had Christmas with my mother yet so Heidi kept her tree up until we had Christmas. This was last sunday and mom was running a late so we still didn't have christmas. lol. But I am 20 weeks here in this picture so here is my nice and plump forming belly :)

Half way there!

So I am officially 20 weeks pregnant and it has seemed like an eternity. Life is good now though!! The sickness is for the most part gone but on occasion, I will get a little relapse of it which I would totally take any day over what I was going through. I have more energy, I love my husband again (I was just so cranky all the time, NOT your fault honey, it was all me), and I do like being pregnant now. I can now feel when she is moving. It was hard to determine if it was her moving or just a little gas (we all know me and my problems) haha but it is very exciting to now feel a child moving inside me. It blows my mind that a real human being is being developed as we speak. What a miracle and such a blessing to be a woman. I used to hate being a girl.....now I love it. hahaha. We go for our normal 20 weeks appointment tomorrow and I get to see her on the screen again. I'm so excited to see my little baby girl moving around and see how she's changed. Kyle is doing good. We went baby shopping the other day and he now realizes that babies aren't so cheap. They take LOTS of $$$$$. Anyways, lifes great. I will update tomorrow of the doctors apt. Wish us luck. :)

It's a Girl!!!

So Kyle and I couldn't wait to have our normal 20 week ultrasound to find out the sex of the baby so a girl I work with at the hospital, her mother does research ultrasounds and so we signed up. They take about 20 minutes and do 2 different ultrasounds and their research is to measure the length of the cervix and see if it has any connections to pre-term labor. While they are measuring everything, you can stick in a VHS and have it all recorded and then they print you out a bunch of pictures. We were so expecting a little baby boy body part to be flaunting around but to our surprise......there was no wee-wee!!! I kept asking the girl..."but where is the wee-wee?" haha. We are soooooo excited it is a little girl but also very nervous. There are so many more little things to worry about with girls. We now have to think of girl names and now the shopping begins :) These pictures are pictures of the pictures of the ultrasound b/c my scanner doesn't work. Some of them are kinda hard to see. Here they are:

This is her cute little profile picture. It looks better than the 12 week one. During the ultrasound she was perching her lips together and drinking. It was so cute.

Both of these are her profile body shots. They are a little blurry but you can tell its a little human growing inside me. It's so crazy to know thats growing in me. Such a miracle.


Her legs, feet, and arms were moving the whole time too and I didn't even feel it. There have been two times that I'm pretty sure I felt her moving. I can't wait to actually see her.

Thats a foot if you couldn't tell. This one wouldn't turn out clear. I hope she doesn't have her mommys feet. lol

And here it is.....dun..dun..dun...NO WEE-WEE!! It's a GIRL!!!! YEAH. If you can't tell, you are looking from underneath at her two thighs and her bum. The three little white lines indicates that it is a girl :)

Mexico Trip

So Kyle and I went to Mexico with his parents this past week from the 10th-18th and had so much fun. We have been twice before and usually on Christmas but the tickets were too expensive that week so we went a few weeks later. We got there the first day and just hung out, unpacked, and layed out. While we were at dinner we got conned into going to look at a time share and they give you free things if you go. We talking him into giving me a free 1 hr massage, and 3 rounds of 9 holes of golf in one of the prettiest golf coarses there. It was amazing. It was right on the water along the ocean and every hole was surrounded with palm trees. So thats what we did the next day. Our trip usually consists of waking up..eating breakfast...laying out...eating lunch...laying out...shower...go eat dinner...walk around and shop...eat ice cream...go back to the room and watch a movie...and fall asleep. Repeat the next day! haha. That is what I call a nice relaxing vacation. So besides the golf, the only other big thing we did was went fishing which was a lot of fun besides getting sea sick. I didn't take my camera b/c I didn't want it to get soaked so there are no pics. We caught about 13 fish between the 4 of us and Kyle caught this awesome Jack fish. We had them all fileted out and then Senor Elias took them home to feed his family. The trip was fun and very relaxing and I got a tan. That was the only thing I cared about. Here are some of the pictures:

Kyle and I did tie the round of golf to set the record straight. I had the lead the whole time and then of course on the very last hole I had to find the largest sand pit and dang it.....it took me forever to get the heck out of there. Kyle then has his chance to make a come back and he did. We like it better when we tie that way nobodys pissed off. hahaha.

This is me on the balcony of our room. It was such a beautiful site to wake up to in the mornings. And to hear the waves crashing as you fall asleep.

Laying out by the pool.

One of the many beautiful sunsets. Each night they all looked so different.

Kyle and I at dinner on the beach.

We were on our way home from dinner and hopped on this Pulmoneo which is kinda just like a little glorified golf cart. The guy I think had too much to drink that night. He was hooting and hollering the whole way home but he was hilarious. He jumped out of the cart and let us take pictures, it was fun.

Kyle having fun by himself in the water. I hate to say it but I never even got into the ocean. There were a lot of rocks and the truth be told....I HATE WATER! haha. I keep the sand in place while Kyle goes and plays. Can't wait till we have a child that will go with him.

This is our friend Elias. He has been working here for 15 years and thats about how long Kyle has been going to Mexico. We try to bring him a gift each year we go down. In this picture he is wearing a Utah Flash basketball shirt that we brought him last year. He's an awesome guy.

This is us at Gringo Lingos. It's an all you can eat restaurant. They bring you one plate of food and then you order your next entree. Kyle ended up eating 5 full plates of food. That is sooo much fun b/c each plate is a brand new huge plate of food. I don't know where he puts all of it. This was his first night wearing his new glasses too. I think he looks so cute in them and I love how he now believes me when I say I can read a sign a mile away. lol

This is a store called Senor Frogs. It's the most well known store in all of Mexico. Their logo thing is the frog and they had these wigs to put on to take pictures with. I don't know Kyle, you look kinda good with long hair ;)

This was our last day there before we headed to the airport. If you look carefully, you can see my big buldge of a belly and that was even in the morning. Watch out later in the day, I'll knock you over. haha.
