School. 22 weeks and 126 days

22 weeks and 126 days
Technically tomorrow I am 22 weeks, but I don't think I'll change much from now til then.
I'm feeling pretty good. I still feel tired and sick every once and a while, especially if I eat fast, which is like every morning. That's when I usually get sick. 126 days left! I really feel like it's going by fast. I think being in school helps.

Sometimes when I'm walking around I "forget" I'm pregnant and that I'm starting to get a belly, then I'll walk by something and see my reflection and it takes me back for a sec. I always assumed that your belly would feel really heavy as it starts sticking out. But I really don't feel like I have 13 oz baby in there + weight that comes with pregnancy! But I guess 13 oz is still pretty small. And I'm sure many of you women would say, "just what til your full term, then you'll feel like your carrying a lot of weight around." I am just grateful it is somewhat gradual.
 I haven't felt the baby move as much since my last appiontment a couple weeks ago. I'm hoping shes just sleeping or turned in a way that makes it hard to feel her movement. I went through a period of time where I was constantly feeling feeling her move, so sometimes it worries me. Maybe I was just mistaking her earlier movements with gas or something. : )
School and life

School and life are going good. McKay and I are taking 4 classes together, which has been awesome! McKay still drives the little kiddos around in the bus each day. : ) He also refs competitive boys basketball games up on campus. McKay is on 3 basketball teams! yes 3 I really don't know how he finds time for it. competitive, a boys league one where you pick your team, so it's a basically a bunch of friends from Montana, and a co-ed team with me, which has been a lot of fun. He had a league game last night and he was on FIRE! Which honestly isn't really rare, but it's fun to listen to the other team talk about how good he is. I just sit and smile and say "that's my husband!". Sorry no pics, I was doing the scoreboard which us wives are always asked to do. And I don't think I'll ever do it again! It was a type I had never used before and if you do one thing wrong or if you don't get the point up there in less then a half a sec after a shot was made, players FREAK out on you. That's why they have someone who writes it in the books you inpatient people! Sarah knows exactly what I'm talking about. Her and I yelled at a few people last night to zip it! I think we can laugh about it now. But It was so stressful I was afraid of going into labor. After the game I think a few players felt bad and said I could slap them in face... I was very tempted.

So in other words my days of dreaming to be a professional score keeper for the NBA are dead.

Valentines Weekend Trip!

So on our trip we....ate at in-n-out! Pretty good!

 Watched BYU vs Utah! Pretty fun game- Utah got Jimmered (a little bit) in a sold out game.

 Bought our baby girl her first pair of shoes!!

 This picture was from one of my basketball games. (Not part of the trip)

 And just a shot of the in-n-out burger! Looks like a heart attack to me! lol



IT'S A......

GIRL!!!! We are so excited! I'll post some ultrasound pics later it takes a long time to get it onto the computer. But The appiontment went really good. The doc said nothings wrong and everything looks good! Which is very comforting. It's time to get going on that Nursey! And figuring out a name for our little junior miss (That's her name until we figure that out)

Todays the day!

McKay and I have been having a count down for about the past month for our big appiontment! We are going to be celebrating all weekend! How? you ask... Well with those 2 sheets of paper on the lower right side of the fridge........

 We are going to Provo to watch a BYU cougar game! Or as McKay calls the it, "Jimmer Fredette show"

Can't you tell he's so excited! More like he is done with me taking so many pictures. This is what he gave me when I said "show me how excited you are!"... 

woohoo! Cougars game! What's that you say! This is how excited I am.

 This is me last night at 20 weeks. Do I still look like I ate one too many tacos mom?

 So the big appiontment is in about 30 mins! McKay and I are so excited! So last time to vote Girl or Boy?!

 From the beginning of the pregnancy McKay always would say, "I hope it's a boy" But as we get closer we both think it's a girl and would excited with either one. Though I know McKay would be very happy if it was a boy. We will let everyone know as soon as we find out!



The bump

This is when I was about 11 weeks along. I was pretty proud of this little bump.

 I was about 13 weeks here. Forgive me for the first 2 pics, I kind of have a forced smile in these, if I remember right I was getting sick just moments before.

This is my most updated picture. I am about 17 weeks here. I know there's still not much here, but it feels like a lot to me.  I had just bought my first pair of Maternity jeans and shirt. McKay laughs at me every time I wear them. (I think he jealous and secretly wishes they made some for men) : ) I LOVE maternity jeans! I wasn't really looking forward to wearing maternity clothes but, I think I might wear these when I am not pregnant... ok maybe just during the holidays. That's ok right? And the hat I'm wearing is one My sister Jess made for me for my birthday. I love it! Can you believe she made it! I am now 19 weeks and feeling pretty good. I still get sick a few times a week and tired but not anything like I was a month ago. I need to get another updated pic. I'm pretty sure I'm even bigger then I am in this picture

 And heres the Handsome dad to be. My heart skips a beat everytime I think of him being a dad! He is so great with kids and I know he will be an amazing dad. There's no one else I would pick to go through this experience with. He has been so helpful already. He drags me out of bed most days to go to school (I'm still feeling really tired and can never get enough sleep). He also is so willing to help clean the house and cook dinner. And He ALWAYS does the dishes after dinner, sometimes he will let me help , but most of the time he won't let me. I love him soo much!



February 11! Boy or Girl?

I had an appointment this morning, it was just a quick check up and they drew some blood. The doctor checked the baby's heart beat and said it sounded good and strong! That's always good to hear. We have now set date for the most exciting appointment! On Friday February 11 we get to find out what sex the baby is! We are so excited. I can't even explain how ready we are for this appointment! I feel like for the most part this pregnancy has flown by.

Before we have this appointment we want everyone to cast your vote on what you think it is. Boy or Girl.
