Thursday night update

I've been having trouble posting things on here... I'm not blogger savvy I guess, so I'm trying to just get some pictures up. I don't think anyone really reads this anyway, so I'm sure you're not missing much.

Last weekend we went up to Multnomah Falls to "hike" the mountain.. I didn't make it too far. Hey an extra 12 lbs can really pull you down! Dang gravity! We did get to see some gorgeous sites though and remember how pretty Oregon is, even when its raining.

The belly has popped!

So as of a few days ago, I no longer look like I've eaten too many burritos (well I still might) but actually have a little baby bump!

I dont have any pictures of her room yet, but here are a few so you can see our adorable little peanut!

In other news... Our other daughter... Abigail, our dog.. is much too smart for her own good. I thought this was funny enough to share..
We have recently bought her her own bed, to get her used to not sleeping w/ us anymore. Not going as well as we planned. She'll sleep on it until she knows we're asleep and then in between us she comes. Well Chris is out of town for a few days, so when she jumped up beside me at 5 am this morning, I didn't fight her. The coziness was nice... well when my alarm went off at 6, she jumped off the bed as fast and she could and back onto her bed, as if I would never know! I laughed so hard.
Hope you're having a great week!

Well... so here we are!

Okay, so we realize it is so very hard to email everyone all the time, and most of you are computer savvy, so we thought this was a great way to keep everyone updated, without the forwards of photos and emails, w/ the possibility of leaving someone out. Now you can visit our blog any time you want, to get updates of our super exciting life (HEHE) and pics of things a changin. :)

So as most of you know, and to others this may be news... we are officially pregnant. (Well I am.. anyway. :) We are expecting a little girl in February and COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED!!! Her name will be Emery Faith. Emery because we found it, loved it, and didn't know anyone else who had it. Faith because its taken us years of praying and hoping for her little preciousness to exist.

I am 17 weeks right now (4 months for those who are mathmatically challenged) and just barely beginning to maaybe get a little belly.  Here is the rest of our update! :)

People have already started touching my tummy, as if they can't help it, and I've just realized how awkward that is. Before I was showing, they would start off w/ "Oh how cute, you're starting to get that little pooch!" Let me just tell you... that's not flattering. In reality at those times, I had either just eaten, or if you really must know, may have had some gas. Also during that time, if you were eating anything, I would most likely want to fight you for it. I couldn't help it. 

Those things have slowed down. I'm a little less tired; much less nauseated, haven't threatened anyone over food in a while. ;)

Her room design has begun. We've (now when I say we, I actually mean Chris and our friend Jeff) torn out all of the molding in her room to replace it w/ new, more updated block molding. We've put up crown molding and primered her walls, that are otherwise bare right now. We just bought her furniture, and once in a while we catch ourselves looking in just to stare at it. Just waiting to put our little gift inside!

We went to babies r us on labor day to get our registry out of the way. Chris designated himself the scanner, which I found more than adorable. Its very possibly that we went overboard, but it was just so fun. Sorry... okay, we're not! :)

We have another ultrasound on the 24th to measure all of her organs. Make sure she's as perfect as she already is in our hearts. We're so excited. 

Thank you for enjoying this time w/ us. We hope you'll check in from time to time to see updates! :)
