It's a....

BOY!!!

Yay!

Here's his face with his arms above his head :) (see below) Brian says he looks like The Punisher or Skeletor

See the resemblance?

Ok, enough with the comparisons. I'm sure he won't be anything like Skeletor. Hopefully he's got the build though ;) Jk. I'm so happy to finally find out. We already picked out his first outfit! :) haha.

Boy or a girl?

I had another appointment Tuesday and everything was looking good. We got to hear the heart beat which was so awesome. It actually took her awhile to find it because the baby kept moving around so much :) My doctor said we already have a trouble maker on our hands because the baby wouldn't stay in one spot! Brian and I got a kick out of it... we didn't realize they moved around that much! Well anyway, we set a date for my next ultra sound to find out the sex. I'll be going in on the 28th which is exactly 2 weeks from today! I'm SO excited, i can't wait!!! The vote is about 50/50 on peoples prediction of what it's going to be. I've been feeling rather boyish lately... but who knows! Haha, cause i sure don't!

What do you think it's going to be???

G

I stayed home from work today cause I've been sick... So i had to do something productive! Anything that would make me feel less guilty for missing work... but it still doesn't. Haha. Who am i kidding? I take advantage of days like these, I'm loving it! Besides the not feeling very alive part!

Here's a little something i made. Gotta represent.

{Sorry the picture quality isn't the best}

Not so interesting post.

Well, I honestly don't have much to post about... I guess we don't lead very exciting lives! Here's just a quick run down of what we've been up to....

* Brian has started preparing for taking the LSATs for law school which are in June, so he's been putting  a lot of time into that. He recently signed up for a 5 week prep  course to help him get ready to take the test. So far he's only been to 2 classes and He's finding that it's a little harder than what he expected. He actually said it's pretty " humbling" because he said he's realized he's not as smart as he thought he was :) haha. We're both really glad for this opportunity cause he's already learned a lot a lot and we know he will really benefit from taking this class. He's such a hard worker and I really admire it.

This is part of his studying method. It's so bad... i know.

* I'm about 15 weeks along now and still feeling pretty good :) Brian says I'm a baby makin' machine cause the pregnancy so far has been pretty simple. We won't find out the gender for probably another month or so. We are anxiously waiting! I wish i could find out sooner, but oh well. I'm over it :) We'll find out soon enough!

* And here is when i come to a blank.

There's not much left to say other than we're both staying busy and lovin' life at the same time :) I think i better stop writing now cause I'm really just boring my self, so i can only imagine how bored someone else reading this would be! Take care!

Anniversary/ Ultra sound

Brian and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary at the happiest place on earth... 

Disney Land! 

We drove up to San Diego Friday morning and shopped at the outlets in Carlsbad on the way... not much luck for me there... although Brian found some much needed sandals, so he was all smiles the rest of the trip :) We woke up really early Saturday morning and drove to Anaheim. It was a pretty long drive, but totally worth it. We had tons of fun... I think our hunt for the "hidden Mickey's" consumed most of our time there though. Come to think of it, we really only rode on like 6 rides max. Doesn't sound like much, but somehow it took up a lot of time! 

For those of you who haven't heard of the Hidden Mickeys, there are hundreds, probably more like thousands, of hidden Mickey Mouse heads throughout the park. The Walt Disney "Imagineers"/ engineers concealed these designs in the attractions (rides, resort, etc.) They are in the forms of  the normal head and ears silhouette, but there are also many other forms of the Mickeys. They actually have a book at one of the stores there that reveal some of the spots where they're hidden, but Brian and i decided to make a game out of it instead! It's much more fun that way... well, the losing part kind of takes a fraction of the fun away... but it's still entertaining none the less! I think it was about 5 to 1 :) (Okay... at least one of Brians shouldn't have been counted i know for a fact! but i finally gave up and let him have it) Anyway, it was tons of fun! 

Am i dumb for posting a hidden Mickey? It's just so you get the idea!

We already started making plans for our next Disney land trip. This is what we'll be doing differently...

1. Go when we have kids 

2. Stay at the Disney Land resort

3. Not go when it's Spring Break when everyone and their dog is there

4. Visit both parks

5. Go during a week day when it's less crowded (hopefully!)

All in all it was a fun trip and a great way to celebrate our anniversary! I can't believe it's been a year already! It's definitely been the best year of my life and i wouldn't trade it for anything :)

Here are a few pics...

This is on one of the rides. They actually let you send the picture to your email, so we snatched this one for ourselves. it's kind of funny :) And of course, notice the scores... I swear I can't win at anything!

 

We looked forward to this moment...

We're just THAT happy :) 

On to a little more recent update! March 17th was my first visit with my doctor... and this is what came of it...

PROOF! 

There is a baby inside of me!

My due date is October 25th. I am so excited! I just wish it would go a little bit faster... I've decided that it's not a good idea to count down the days... at least this early on. It only goes slower! I've really felt pretty good. I haven't gotten sick which I am soooo thankful for. It seems like everyone i talk to had the worst morning sickness ever, so I'm pretty happy that i've been feeling good. The only thing that i've really had to deal with is the tiredness and having to eat every 2 hours! Really... I don't think i've ever taken more naps in my life than i have these past couple months! I feel like a slug. Other than that I'm doing great and Brian and I both couldn't be any happier!

Birthdays and good news

My posts are mostly monthly updates, so i'm on a roll :) 

I just wanted to say happy birthday to all the February B-days! Namely Scott, Michelle and Tiffany (those were the most recent!) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy B-day Tiff! I love you girl :) (Oddly enough, i can't really find a pic. of just you and I except this one. So this will have to do.) Thanks girl for being such a good friend and for being the greatest hair stylist i know ;)

* What's next... oh! Just wanted to say thanks to Brian for being so Amazing! For my birthday he surprised me with these beautiful white roses...

along with a few other great gifts! He always loves doing surprises for me & he'll get SO excited about it, but will NEVER tell me what he's got up his sleeve. I love that about him. I just know that he truly loves and cares about me and he'll do whatever he can just to see me smile :) Thanks for being such a wonderful husband and best friend. I love you!

I forgot to mention one of the other gifts he got me... get ready... 

It's the SNUGGIE!

HAHA. I'm always complaining about how COLD it is at work and how it's impossible to cover my arms with a normal blanket when I'm working. My problems are solved! Thanks for thinking of me babe ;) I don't even care if i look like a monk.

* Also... we had girls night last weekend and went out to eat at Charlestons. It was mighty delicious, but I can't say the same about the service. Although we had to wait for so long, we got to talk and catch up on life so it wasn't bad. It's always so fun when we get together. I love all of these girls! I hope you don't mind Tiffany, i stole this pic. from your post :)

* And now for the last update.... Some know... some don't. I haven't gone totally public with it yet, but the word is out so i might as well. I am indeed PREGNANT! At least 3 pregnancy tests and not starting "you know what" tells me so :) Brian and I both are Very excited and can't wait to take this next big step in life! Unfortunately, i can't get in to see my Dr. till March 17th so i don't really know my exact due date. It looks like it'll be around the end of October though. So yeah! Lots of good news! Morning sickness hasn't totally kicked in yet... a little bit nauseas here and there, but nothing bad. Brian thinks it's going to be a boy, i say a girl. He said he had a revelation while mowing the lawn that it will be a boy. Haha! I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

Buns of steel

 So, I'm a little frustrated. I HAVE been running, HONEST! My nike thing must be broken cause every time i plug it in... it won't load anything. Grrr... I swear, I'm not THAT much of a slacker?! :)

On a lighter note... i have a funny story to tell. A few months ago we bought a new toilet seat because "someone" broke the other one. Well, a few months ago that same "someone" must have really had to go pretty bad, because he went and did it again! ... AND i actually heard it crack this time! I was in a completely different room mind you. HAHAHA!  Believe it or not... he was pretty embarrassed about it, but I couldn't help but laugh at him. It was just way too funny. He immediately called him self fat and felt really bad... but, it soon turned into him just having a left butt cheek made out of steel. I think that made him feel better about himself ;) We still haven't replaced the seat yet, but are in definite need of a new one because every time he goes in there i always hear him let out a scream cause it's pinched him! Haha, oh wow. FYI, he said i could post this... I had to do it!

What's with our blog and toilets?
