Halfway There

Well y'all, I'm officially halfway through my pregnancy. Only 20 more weeks to go and I bet they're going to go by sooooo slowly. I can't wait to have this little baby in my arms.

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving, we went to California. Our first stop was the desert. We met my family there and stayed Tuesday night and rode dirt bikes Wednesday. I had a blast. I let Karina ride on the back with me once, then I made her try it and she fell over and scraped and bruised up her legs...needless to say I didn't make her try again.

After that we spent some nice time with Greg's family, got to meet up with Uncle Derek and Aunt Trisha and their cute little kids, Ben and Crazy Ava. Over the course of the trip we also got to see Grandma and Grandpa Wertz, The Fronks, The Andersons, and spent a substantial amount of time with my best pal, John Skaggs. I didn't get to surf this trip, the waves were too small. Another fun evening we had was with Davy and Kelly (with Lucy and Chuck) and Kyle and Meagan (with Parker and Grace). Here are a couple of videos from that evening.





On our drive back to Provo, at around 6:30 pm, we saw a sign that said we were 12 miles from Cedar City (about 200 miles from Provo, so we had already driven 450 miles). It started snowing really hard and the traffic started moving at around 5 miles per hour. We called our parents to figure out what we should do, and figured out we should stop for the night. An hour after the traffic slowed down, we finally finished the 12 miles to Cedar City (what a drag!). Then we stopped at the Day's Inn, but we read on their lobby doors that there were no vacancies. There was no room at any of the inns for the pregnant lady (ring a bell?). We finally found some place that sounded cheap and vacant, so we stopped and sure enough, the America's Best Value Inn had room. We slept and in the morning the snow had stopped so we made it back to Provo.

Black Friday

I don't usually participate in the whole Black Friday thing, because it's always a zoo, but Greg and I couldn't resist at least looking at the deals going on. We stopped by Best Buy just to peek and ended up buying this amazing camera! We've been wanting a new camera anyway, especially with a baby on the way, which means I'll be taking pictures every 5 seconds. I love this camera and I'm so excited to use it more.

It's a...

We got an ultrasound on Tuesday and the verdict is...GIRL!! Well, the ultrasound tech said she's 80% sure it's a girl. I'm so excited. I can't wait to dress her up in cute little outfits. Now we just have to wait 5 more months :(

Christmas time is here...almost

I usually don't put up Christmas decorations until after Thanksgiving, but considering Greg and I will only be in our own home for 2 weeks in December, we decided to put them up early. We just wanted a little more time to enjoy it. We put up our little Christmas tree this weekend. We only have like 5 ornaments, but I'm sure the collection will grow. We listened to Holiday music and I made pumpkin pies (the best pumpkin pie ever, but I regret to inform you that I cannot give out the recipe. Family secret). We were going to watch some classic Christmas movies like Rudolph and Jack Frost, but we got sleepy. So we retired to bed early. Are we getting old?

I'm Growing

I hope I'm starting to look pregnant and not just fat. I'll let you decide.

This is a picture from the week we found out I was pregnant, so I was about 4 weeks along.

This is me now at 15 weeks. Should I be showing this much already?

Surprise!!

For some of you this isn't a surprise, but I'm 13 weeks pregnant!!! I'm due April 19 and we can't wait to meet this little baby. Here's the ultrasound from 9 weeks. It just looks like a little gummi bear right now.
