to announce that we are PREGNANT! It's true! Our little one will be joining us in September! I was so thrilled when I took a pregnancy test. Here is how it all went down. Alan was crazy busy working Sundance. He didn't come home for a week! He worked round the clock, taking a few cat naps and then would be back to work. I would go in and bring him a change of clothes and some food. I woke up one morning from having a dream that I had a baby boy. He was the sweetest little baby! Pretty dang cute! It was such a real dream. When I woke up I decided it was a sign to take a test. Not 30 seconds later did it show a positive. I wanted to jump up and down and call everyone to tell them the news! Alan called me right after that and asked me to bring him a change of clothes. It was so hard to act casual as he asked me what I was up to. I ran to target and bought a baby blanket that said 'little monkey' on it. I put it in the bag with his clothes and hurried to the office. I handed him the bag and asked him to peek inside to make sure I brought the right clothes. As he opened it he looked at me, looked down, looked at me and pulled the blanket out and was shocked! He couldn't believe it! That was such an exciting day but so hard to keep my mouth shut!
Last week I told my family. We had a family birthday party for me and my little brother so I thought it'd be fun to make a baby theme cake. I brought it in and sat it on the table and everyone just stared for what seemed like a 10 minutes! Reality? 10 seconds. Then my brother finally yelled, "are you?!" It was such a relief to have them all know.
We went to our first doctor's visit 2 days ago. I felt kind of silly as I laid there on the table and cried looking at the ultra sound. To me all ultra sounds look the same. Except for this one because this one was mine! My heart melted as I saw the little heart beating and fluttering. As we were watching it, the baby put one hand behind his head, one leg came up and crossed over the other and did a full turn. Guess this baby likes the camera! It was the neatest experience to see this baby! I'm so excited to be a mom! Of course anxious, nervous, emotional! All the normal feelings that come with pregnancy.
It has been an interesting experience. At first I felt fine, just tired. I was still going strong at the gym and feeling invisible. HA, was I too confident! The day we got home from Vegas it hit and I've been feeling sick ever since. Forget the gym, forget cleaning my house, forget cooking, forget my skinny jeans! All I want to do is sleep, lay on the couch and wear sweats! Oh how I'm loving my sweats and my couch....for now!

I'm 32. Really?!
Can I please stay 29 forever? Every year just goes by faster and faster. I turned 32 yesterday and had such an amazing birthday! One of the best ever. Why was it so perfect? Because Alan had to be up in Wyoming on my birthday and I wasn't expecting to see him at all. By noon he had called me 4 times to tell me he loved me and to wish me a happy birthday. I was trying not to let on that I was super bummed he wasn't going to be around. I could already tell (by the 4Th phone call) he was feeling pretty bad about not spending my big day with me. I am on a bowling league. I'll get back to that. Towards the end of it I looked up and guess who walks in the bowling alley? Yep, my very sweet husband! He drove down (2 1/2hrs each way!) to surprise me and take me to lunch then headed back up to WY. I ran up and hugged him and just cried. It meant more to me than anything he has ever done for me. The fact that he took 5hrs of his already crazy busy schedule to make my day special meant the world to me! I'm one lucky girl!
OK, about bowling. My dear friend Angie (the one on the right) invited me to join her bowling league. It's up in Layton at her husband's bowling alley he owns. So it's quite the drive for me but so worth it. I really love my team and we have a great time. I really am a horrible bowler! Horrible! But we just do it for fun. Angie made my day really special as well. She brought balloon's, cookies and a gift for me. She's so sweet and it really made my day.
(my team minus one girl)
(My wonderfully thoughtful husband!)
On top of all of that, I got many phone calls, text's, emails and messages on FB from friends. Thank you everyone for being so good to me and making my day so great! I couldn't ask for better friends and family.
Tomorrow we are off to Vegas to continue the birthday fun! We are going with our good friends (Angie from above and her husband Ron) to finish celebrating my birthday and of course Valentine's Day. I'm so excited to get 4 whole days (uninterrupted) with Alan. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!
