AN EARLY CHRISTMAS PRESENT

Every Christmas sense Michael and I got married we have not been able to get a Christmas tree
because of school and not being at our apartment for the holidays.

When we moved to Oregon we new we were spending Christmas with Michaels family this year,
so we got to get a Christmas tree!! 

I was so excited to finally have a Christmas tree.
We obviously still don't have a lot of decorations for it, but that will definitely grow through out the years.

Ladies and Gentlemen....

Our First Christmas tree!!


I was very proud of it and had the light on every night!!

This Christmas was pretty special for Michael and I.

On top of getting our first Christmas Tree 
I just happened to be around 20 weeks pregnant right before Christmas,
which meant we got to find out the sex of our baby!!!

I could not contain my excitement.

Here in this photo I am at 18 weeks and we get to find out what our baby is at 20 weeks,
so just in time for Christmas.


I am a very impatient person, so to keep me busy I looked up so many ways to reveal the gender of our baby.

I had so many ideas, but because of Christmas I wanted to do something with a present.

Here is what I came up with thanks to Pinterest.

When we went to our ultra sound appointment I brought a box with 2 ornaments in it.
One was pink
and the other was blue.

Once the nurse came and got started I asked her if she would not tell us the gender,
but that if she could leave the room and through away the ornament color 
that did not match the gender of our baby.

Luckily she agreed to do this for us.

The rest of the appointment was so amazing,
the nurse said our baby was showing off, so we got to see some really great images.

Getting to see our baby move around and to see the babies face and body was
one of the greatest experience ever!

Not going to lie I did shed a few tears.
I just could not believe that that is what I was creating inside of me.
It was so breath taking.

After the appointment and on our way home,
I will say it took everything in me to not peek and see what we were having!

and we were not going to be able to see what we were having for a couple of days!
This is because we wanted to open it with family and had to work around some schedules.
It was totally worth the wait though!

Here is a picture of the lovely present that taunted me for the next few days!


And now finally for the reveal!!!! 

For some reason I was so nervous to open that present.
I new that no matter what the gender was that I was going to love that baby unconditionally,
but I was still so nervous.

Michaels guess was a girl and mine was a boy.

Watch the video to find out what we are having!!


IT"S A BOY!!




We are so excited to bring this little guy into the world.

here are some pictures we got from the ultra sound

Two Down and Eternity to Go

    This year we decided to do something simple for our anniversary  All I knew for this anniversary is that we were going to eat somewhere in downtown Salt Lake.   To my surprise I have the most brilliant husband ever because he took me to my most favorite restaurant ever!!    Cheesecake Factory!  Don't ask me why, but it is the best restaurant ever! I know you might be thinking.  "wow this girl is crazy",  but just trust me nothing can beat The Cheesecake Factory.   My favorite's there are:  Avocado eggrolls and sweetcorn tamale cakes for appetizers.   For the dinner plate their garlic noodles with shrimp and some parmesan on top.  Then of course for dessert I love love love there ultimate red velvet cheesecake and their Oreo one is pretty good as well. Anytime we go somewhere new and they have a cheesecake factory we have to go.   It is my goal to go to as many as I can in my li...

OUR LITTLE PUMPKIN IS DUE MAY 9, 2015

Yup you read that right we are having a baby, May 9, 2015!! I surprised Michael by sending him a picture of my pregnancy test. So when he woke up that was the first thing he saw. I did the same with my mom because I needed her guidance on what I needed to do. It was defiantly killing her to not be able to tell anyone the news, but I definitely appreciate all the advice I have gotten as well as another person to talk to about it. We were so excited when we found out, we just wanted to tell everyone right away, but we waited and learned patience. I would have been so heart broken to have to tell everyone if we had a miscarriage. When we found out I was pregnant, I was 5 weeks along, so for my first appointment they had to take a blood test.  For those of you who know me, know that I do not do well  with needles and veins in the same sentence. As you can imagine I did not do well.   I kept moving an...
