Finally!!


I promised the picture a long time ago. J tells me I make promises on the blog and don't fulfill them so here is the picture!! Yay!! This was at 10 weeks, we are now at 13.5 weeks. I am at the in between stage where my normal clothes don't fit but neither do the maternity. It makes a frustrating morning every morning! I am also told to post a belly pic....I am glad I didn't promise that!! But Jeffrey agreed so I am sure that is coming within the next few entries.

Fun Weekend!

This weekend, I met my friend in Denver. It was a three day weekend for me and seemed like a perfect time. We both got to getaway for a bit and catch up on some much needed time. We stayed at the best hotel ever. It had free shuttles everywhere we needed to go! They took us downtown to two different malls as well as to the airport. We did lots of shopping and went to a movie. It has been close to 4 years since her and I have just hung out and it was fabulous!
On the way back from the airport, J and I stopped at a baby store and made our first purchase! We bought a stroller! We have been researching them online for awhile and got to actually play around with our top two choices and picked our favorite of the two. Yay! We are now officially past three months and that much closer. Crazy!!

Weekend Snowstorm

Friday was the first day that I have been at school and would have rather curled up in a hole. I got SO sick! This school is absolutely amazing though. We had a lot of students missing, so kindergarten let me borrow a para for the afternoon so I didn't have to do a whole lot. And then the fabulous husband took them for the last 45 minutes. Our classes read together, so it worked okay. I thought for a brief moment that I had maybe caught the flu from the students, but I didn't really have any signs for it!
My parents came up this weekend. It was a laid back weekend. We had plans to travel, but with the snow coming down and the storm expected in Salt Lake, we changed our minds! Instead, we had an enjoyable, relaxing weekend in fabulous Lyman!
This is J's last week of football (yay!) It will be nice to have a few weeks of him not rushing off to practice and being able to drive to work together!

I have had every intention...

...to scan the baby picture on, but getting the picture and a scanner and a computer at the same time seems impossible. They even held a class on scanning last night! However, I had a different meeting to go to so I didn't get to go to that.
Jeffrey is just finishing up his last full week of football. Next Tuesday is his last game! I am excited to have him home a bit more often. At least for a few weeks until basketball starts up.
I had my first day of teaching dance class on Tuesday. I LOVED IT!!! I have a class of kindergarten-first graders, a class of 3-4 year olds and one with 4-5 year olds. I have a few of my students so that makes it a bit more fun. The little ones are so cute because they try so hard but just cant get their feet and legs to work! My last class was a bit....awkward. I couldn't get them to MOVE! Usually little kids have the best dance moves. Not this group. They just stared at me. No one wanted to move. It was even harder because almost every parent stayed. I had a few in the other classes, but this class had EVERY parent there. I think that was a bit of the reason they wouldn't move too. But I will focus on the first two knowing how fun they are and keep my fingers crossed for the last class next week!

WOOHOO!!

Well, I have waited to post on the blog because we had news that was impossible to not tell and we wanted to wait. Now, we think it’s a good time. We are pregnant!! We found out in the middle of August. It was one of those things that I knew from day 1. I was feeling horrible and sick to my stomach most of the day all the time and knew that something was up. I had decided to go to the doctor…..until I got to thinking. I then decided I should wait a few weeks to check that option. Turns out the first test we took was a bit indecisive. While Jeffrey swore it was a plus sign, I kept saying it wasn’t dark enough. We decided to get a digital readout so tried again. I felt the need to take the test at three in the morning and of course had to wake up J right then (although he already knew). We were going home two weekends from then to see both sets of our parents so decided it was a good time to tell them because they would all be together. So we told them and just swore them to secrecy since we hadn’t been to the doctor or anything. I had to triple and quadruple check before we told them the news (we should have bought stock in pregnancy tests!) We have been to the doctor twice now and actually got to see it! I will post a picture of the ultrasound as soon as I can get to a scanner. The due date is May 1st! Yay!
