Baby Project #1

Well I did it! I finally finished a project for the baby. I literally have 10-15 that are in the works but this one is completed! It was fun and only took me about 10 minutes, as you can see. Getting the fabric paint was the hardest part, haha. I have many other cute ideas in the wings but I'll also take suggestions!

Pregnancy Eats

I haven't had too many cravings since being pregnant, I'm usually just hungry. So here is a list of things I have just eaten way too much of since I have been pregnant.

Cheeseburgers
Otter pops (we're talking 8-12 at a time)
I'm always thirsty so I've been drinking a lot of water
Coke icee's (this might have more to do with my car's lack of AC then being pregnant...)
Smarties (this began before I got pregnant though)
I also ate a PB&J sandwich the other day, totally unlike me.

Thats about it! Disgraceful I know.

A Little Update

My mom keeps telling me that I need to post an update on here. Its kind of funny because when we were in Utah, she never mentioned my blog, but now that I see her everyday she mentions it a lot more! She says that people want to know...

So anyways, I uploaded a bunch of recent pictures from my phone so everyone can see how things are going! (Caution: Aubrey took all of these pictures, except for the ones that she is in... so quality is questionable. But she is quite artsy!) If I look tired in this picture it is because I am. Most days I am very tired and don't have a lot of energy. I can definitely tell that I'm starting my 3rd Trimester!
Haha, Hopefully my mom won't be embarrassed by this picture, but it made Aubrey and I laugh for about 5 minutes when she took this. Definitely going to credit this to late-night silliness...
Aubrey wears this dress most days, and I told her to put on mom's glasses for a funny picture. I think its cute!
Alright, the apparently long-awaited belly pic. This IS my real belly, as opposed to the fake one from the post before, haha. When Aubrey takes a picture of you, she insists on taking at least 5 shots... this was the least blurry, but towards the end of the series, so my face got a little ridiculous...
This one too. But I feel this picture accurately reflects how I feel. I was telling Chase that I try not to complain too much, I know it's going to get worse and every woman goes through this. But unfortuneately he and my family both get to hear about it the most.
I felt that this picture was the best belly-shot. You can see my whole body, and my arm looks pretty muscular. Haha.
Eating ice cream. It was home-made!
Camryn is over at our house a lot and Aubrey takes a lot of pictures of her. This one was too good to pass up! Again, towards the end on the 5 picture series, so the faces get more ridiculous...
Too cute. Aubrey and I made caramel apples as a welcome home surprise for mom and dad when they recently came back from a 4 day trip to Utah. This was hers with all the cute sprinkles and I wanted to document it before she ate it.
Here she goes! She did only get through about 3 bites before she got tired of fighting the apple and put it back in the fridge.
Chase eating his caramel apple. Colin, Chase and I were playing settlers at the time and Chase and I rue the day that we ever taught that game to Colin. He is obsessed and begs us to play with him every time we go over there... which is every day!

I have a lot of baby projects in the works right now but I told myself I wouldn't post them until I finished... and since none are officially "finished"... I am very close on some of them though! Updates soon!

A Bun in the Oven

Well the rumors are true, we are expecting! It's about time I announced it too, because I am officially 18 weeks along. (As a side note, this picture of me is NOT my real belly, it was taken when I first found out and was very excited to see what I would look like...) I am due on January 2nd, which was the same due date my mom had with Aubrey. I actually had my FIRST appointment yesterday. Crazy, I know, everyone there was like, why haven't you come in before?? Well it's because we have finished school, moved, and gotten jobs with insurance, not to mention the hellish experience of actually making the appointment. The bottom line was, "shut up, I'm here now."

Chase and I were very excited to see the baby, because up until yesterday there was lots of speculation that there actually WAS a baby, and I told Chase I needed to eat an extremely large dinner in case I had sextuplets in there...

The first time we saw it, Chase said he was like "wohhh" and I was like, "Where are the arms and legs??" The doctor reassured me that they were there and moved the doo-hicky around to give us a different perspective. It was cool to see a baby moving around with a skeleton and everything and the doctor looked and said she was about 85% sure it was a GIRL!! Chase is still hoping for the 15% chance it is a boy, and he makes sure to tell everyone about that part. I'm hesitant to run out and buy all things pink, but I'm sure that will wear off in a day or two and then, watch out!



Here is a picture of pretty much the whole munchkin. I've included convinent labels if you're like me and suck at decyphering these things... I mean, I was there and saw the moniter! But as soon as we left and were looking at the pictures, all understanding was gone.

I'm going to be posting many pics and updates about our last few months, but right now work is over and I have to go home :)

Happy Easter!


We are having a great Easter enjoying conference. Noelle and Ashlee are over for the day and we had breakfast and are having a pot-luck dinner tonight. These are a few bunnies I made and sent to Tori, Lyra and Aubrey. They are larger versions of the one I posted earlier. Happy Easter!

Wish me luck!

I'm making myself this skirt for Chase's mission reunion. I saw the picture and had to have it! I've procrastinated and now only have 3 days left to make the whole thing from scratch! Pattern and all.
