"There Really IS a Baby in There!!"

I had the amazing experience today to hear my little peanut's heartbeat!! At first my doctor couldn't find it and I got sort of sad thinking I was one of the few who doesn't get to hear it this early. But she found it and it was like sweet music to my ears! My eyes filled with tears and I managed to spit out "there really IS a baby in there!" which was sort of silly to say, but it feels so real now and even though I have been miserable my heart swells up with so much love for this growing baby and it is totally going to be worth all the sickness!!

My doctor prescribed me for Zophran, I think that's how you spell it. It's a miracle nausea drug that is also used for chemo patients, and ironically my Mom is using it as we speak! She has not felt sick yet from the chemo, which is AMAZING because last time she was beyound miserable and sick. So I have faith that the Zophran will help my nausea too!

Spring Is In the Air!!

Don't you just LOVE spring? I do!! It's finally warming up in Utah and boy does it feel fantastic! We drove up to Ogden today for a double baby blessing with my two cousins which was so fun! I love babies, especially recently, (hmm wonder why??), and they're both adorable. One is Andrew Jacob Maughan, and the other is Evangelline Louise Maughan. Soo cute! But after the fun filled family lunch that was afterwards which went on wayyy too long, like our family functions always do, (it's just so much fun talking to all my cousins and aunts and uncles it's so hard to leave) , Aly and I wanted to have some pics taken on such a beautiful 65 degree day :) Aly Scooter and Me
For ONCE I'm taller!
Sisterly Love :)
And OH SNAP! a baby's pokin' out :) It's incredible I'm already showing so much at 3 months! I'm either having a HUGE baby..or multiples! We'll see...

MY FAVORITE THINGS around the house
My favorite thing in the kitchen is... hmm definitely my George Forman! Love that little grill! Or our sandwich maker sandwiches are so much yummier hot!
My favorite thing in the bathroom is... I love the tile on the floor! It's fabulous. But since I've been spending so much time in the bathroom lately being sick and all..don't really care too much for the bathroom at the moment!
My favorite thing in the bedroom is... BODY PILLOW! Sleep like a friggin baby
My favorite thing in the bedroom closet is... oh my..just ONE thing? Sorry can't name it!
My favorite thing in the living room is... Our dominican painting i love looking at it never get tired of it!
My favorite thing in the pantry is... well not a whole lot appeals to me at the moment except pickles, nilla wafers, and pretzels but definitely not together!!
My favorite thing in the "office" is...our SWEET office chair so comfy, and the computer of course :)
My favorite thing in the baby's room is...Well it's not officially the baby's room yet, it's currently a storage room, but when I start making it a nursery I'll let you know!

ok..aly,sara,brynne,jenn,steph, rachel and whoever else wants to do it you're tagged!

Hallelujah!!

I thought I should blog about this momentous occasion....I was finally able to go back to the gym the other day! WAHOOOOO!!!!!!!! Since getting sick over a month ago I have not stepped foot into my beloved place of working out. So needless to say I've felt incredibly out of shape! I have lost weight from puking my brains out, but what pregnant woman is trying to lose weight? Seriously...I just want to be as fit as I can!
So anyways, now that I'm back into the swing of things I'm feeling like a new woman and boy does it feel amazing! I'm running again, lifting, and will be starting up some prenatal yoga which I'm REALLY excited about! I also think that water aerobics would be oh so much fun, I got the idea from my good friend http://jennvalenzabrandt.blogspot.com Jenn who is 6 months pregnant and always blogs about how much fun she has at the classes. So that might be a new activity I'll be picking up!
It still hasn't totally dawned on me that I'm even pregnant, I mean yes I have been deathly ill which is an obvious sign, not the mention the amazing growth of my chest which hey, I don't mind too much! But my first ultrasound is next tuesday and until I actually get to see the baby that is really inside of me it will really all seem real! I am SOO excited!!

Happy Birthday To MEE!! :D

The time of year has come again, yes a day that should be a holiday! Aly and I's wonderful day of birth has come and gone on April 3rd. It was a really fun day for both of us. Although Jess was not with me I got to spend my birthday with Aly and my parents, a first for over 4 years!! Me and my Mom and Aly and I went to go see a matinee of "27 Dresses" at the dollar theater, and then we went out to dinner to Chili's which was the first restaurant I have been able to go to in over a month! Then we went and got our bowl on! After we got home we had one of my Mom's famous delicious cakes and opened presents. All in all a really fun relaxing day! Me and my Papa in between bowls! Aly with her good bowling technique!
The next night a few of our close girlfriends took me and Aly out to PF Chang's for dinner!A few of them couldn't come, but it was still fun! Once again I was ecstatic because I was actually able to eat! PF Chang's is one of my absolute favorites so I am glad I didn't have to pass that up! We laughed and ate and Aly and I even got free dessert! Yum! I have the best girlfriends in the world :) Me and one of my bestest friends Jamie
23 Holla!!!

Aren't we an attractive group?

Buca and Babies

The week before Jess left (tear :'( ) A few of our very close friends and us went to Buca di Beppo's in Sandy for sort of a goodbye dinner for Jess. It was kind of funny, because when we left Dallas for Baltimore, that's the same restaurant our friends and us went to to say goodbye! It has just become tradition I guess! We all shared each other's food which was all quite delicious, and got the most amazing chocolate cake for dessert yum!!!
But this was also a special night because this is the night we started telling everyone we were pregnant! We wanted to wait longer, but some people already knew and before the news spread like wildfire, which it has, we wanted at least our good friends to know! So it was a night of celebration for us! Me and Abbie who is like a sister to me The proud parents! Why does Jess look so unhappy?
Our whole crazy group! We got a lot of laughs from the host who took this picture for us! Me and my good friend Anny admiring the little boy peeing fountain...oh we're so mature

Aly, Abbie, and I were being silly on the car ride home
