the belly

well, i borrowed my moms camera (since mine is still broken) and FINALLY took some belly pictures! Me in the green shirt is at 20 weeks, and the one in the pink shirt is 24 weeks!!! the baby definetly had a growth spurt this month!

I am having alot of fun with this belly, it is so surreal to look at my self in the mirror with this belly, I am still not used to it at all, but I like it!!!

Other than the belly, last night was Sammy's 13th birthday, (he is having his friends over friday, so yesterday was just for the family) We watched Transformers on the projector and ate way too much junk food, it was pretty fun. Cant believe Sammy is 13! Where does the time go?

venting and also amazment

So this weekend was stake conferance, pretty fun, lots of food, folks and fun! Although I feel the need to vent maybe just a little bit. Why is it that people feel the need to touch a pregnant belly. ? ... I mean dont get me wrong, if I know you and we are friends, touch away, i dont care..!! but there are people who I dont know all that well, other than their name, and the first thing they do when they saw me this weekend was to reach out and poke me in the stomach... not only does it kind of hurt, but its kind of awkward.... some people also see it as an invitation to tell me horror stories of their own pregnancy, and to give me advice about pregnancy.
well meaning Im sure, but kind of awkward if I dont know you.

ok im done venting, sorry about that guys, chances are if you are reading this, i dont mind you touching my belly.

It was really good to see alot of you over the weekend though! I have decided that I dont hang out with people nearly enough. Davis is busy with studying during the week, but we decided to be more social from now on, we are going to try to plan some type of get together sometime soon, so hopefully everyone can come ..... ... to whatever it is that we do.......

can i also say that i am really impressed with Karens Thank-you cards??? holy cow, I dont know how she had the patience to do all of those by hand... that is a talent for sure!

ROAD TRIP

So I was pressured into going on a road trip shopping spree with my mom and grandmother..... nothing like peer pressure from your grandmother....
It was actually quite fun, we drove to Maine EARLY friday morning, did far too much shopping, lots of girl talk and hanging out and then came home Sunday night. I finally got some much needed maternity cloths, which i am very excited about. I am also very proud of myself becuase I got almost all of my Christmas shopping done!!! wow!!! I think that is the earliest I have ever done Christmas shopping in my LIFE! How prepared am I?

Pregnancy is going well, I think the baby just went through a growth spurt because it feels like my belly just got 10 times bigger just this past week alone. I do have belly pictures, but like i said before my camera is broken and I need to take it somewhere to fix it, until then, you will just have to come visit me to see the hugeness.

ULTRA SOUND

Ok so we had our first ultra-sound this morning!! WOW, weird, there is actually a tiny little skeleton inside of me.... but everything looks good health wise, developing well according to the nurse, all the fingers and toes, etc etc etc.... it was so weird, we were watching on the monitor and you could see the baby moving its arm around and i could feel it at the same time.... it was pretty surreal.
no pictures unfortunetly ... and also no word on wether or not its a boy or a girl. I think we have decided to leave it for a surprise but some times I want to know.... im not good with surprises. I like to be prepared.

but thats that folks, there is officially a healthy little baby in there!! not even 1 pound yet... just a tiny little 12 ounce ankle bitter !!!

PEI goodness

So we went to PEI a week or so ago ... Dad and Davis and Sammy did ALOT of biking, and me and mom did alot of driving around and trying to find them on the trails. Dads goal was to bike all the way across PEI and he did most of it over the summer, but he had to finish about 40 kms so davis went along!!!

We had a good weekend, great weather for camping, going to the beach. we found a great beach that NO ONE else was on, it was beutiful. Sammy and Davis did some swimming and wrestling in the water ... among other things....

Great weekend except i got sand stuck in the camera somehow and now its broken :(

But Anyway thats my PEI story.

Ok, so I finally gave in and started a stupid blog like everyone else. I cant promise that I will be quite as good as everyone else in updating and posting .. but I'll try! I'm a sucker for peer pressure apparently.

I am still learning so the blog may suck for a while, sorry guys. I'll get the hang of it eventually.
