This and That...

I cut all my hair off on Friday. I am absolutely excited about it, I wanted to cut it off last month when I went in but peer pressure overruled and I kept it long. I have been trying really hard to keep my spirits up the last couple of weeks, I have never felt great about my self image and since I have gotten pregnant it has only gotten worse, lol. So in effort to keep feeling good my best gal pal and I got our nails done, painted my toenails, bought some new shirts, and of course the haircut (which always includes getting my eyebrows waxed). It has been fun to splurge on some absolutely ridiculous things and I am happy that Josh loves me enough to let me, though he probably has no idea why I want them :D.

Other than keeping busy trying to feel pretty we are just starting to pack to move. It is nice to think that I will be out of this apartment in a matter of weeks and into a house!!! Both Josh and I feel very great about the move and have absolutely no reservations and we know this must have been divine guidance. I thought about trying to move our appointment up to this week just so I could shop for baby things when I am in Utah this weekend but decided to practice my least favorite virtue, patience. . . So, alas, the gender discovery will still be March 3rd. I think I can wait that long don't you?

One day I will be better at this...

I really want to become a good blogger... You'd think that I never login or anything but that's definitely not the truth. I am a definite blog stalker who spends more time looking at other people's blogs than updating my own. But for my new goal is to be able to update so all those people out there can keep up with Josh and I's wacky lives...

We had another Dr.'s appointment where we had yet again another ultrasound. Everything looks healthy and strong. I have just started feeling some movement in the last couple of days. Can't wait til Josh can feel it too. Other things that we have done this last month are finding a new place to live. My dad's last renters in a home he owns just by the west bench of Pocatello had trouble paying there rent so he now has an open home. He practically begged Josh and I to move in so he could have some responsible renters in his home. It is the cutest little house, as I was telling Deanne it is a 3 bed 1 bath, 2 story home, white with green shudders. My dad just recently put in a fence in the backyard which is such a plus (its a high privacy fence). Josh is very excited because 4 years ago when my dad lived there as a bachelor he put in an area for a garden. Josh has already been thinking about what things he will be planting come this spring. As soon as I get the opportunity I will post some pictures of our lovely home to be come March 15th.

Another drama that I added into our life happened just under 2 weeks ago. I hit a car. That's right, and not just any car, a PARKED car! I will tell the story but please remember I am pregnant... I was not feeling the greatest that morning I tried eating something but my stomach just didnt settle. I decided, however, I just couldn't wait any longer to go to work. Not even 5 minutes later I knew I was going to lose my stomach. I pulled over swung my door open but my seatbelt locked and I some of my vomit made it onto my car door. (eww gross I know) So I figured I would stop at the gas station at the bottom of the hill and clean it up. I shut the door and started driving again. I began to heave again but this time there was nowhere to pull over, so my plan was to roll down the window. Yet, on my door was vomit I was trying very hard to push the window down button without touching the vomit. Before I could get the window down I heard a very distinct bam. Of course I hit a car, typically when you are staring down at the window lock for long periods of time you probably aren't paying any attention to the road and it isn't a surprise that you hit a parked car. Well the damage on the other car came to $500 so we opted to not file a claim and keep insurance low and just let our dented car be dented.

That in a nutshell is our comings and goings for the past month. We find out the sex of the baby on March 3rd. So stay tuned for the big announcement!

It's been awhile.....

So we have not posted in a long time and much has happened since then! We went to an early thanksgiving at Josh's parents in Victor than spent the real holiday in Pocatello with some of my family and we finished up the semester, yay for that!! We had a Christmas party with Josh's family at our place than went to Utah for another get together with all the Larsen family and spent the rest of the weekend celebrating with my mom. For the actual Christmas day we spent it once again in Pocatello with my family and brothers, which for the two oldest this is their last Christmas at home before they head out on their missions in a few months! It just seems that they were new deacons passing the sacrament, crazy how time flies from right underneath you. We spent the rest of the holiday break just working and enjoying life.... and as many of you know we hit 12 weeks with this pregnancy!!!! We are way excited to be at the "safe" point and are very hopeful about our future lil' one thats coming in July...We just had our 12 week appointment last week and everything is looking great! We did have a small scare when I caught some sort of flu bug and threw up for too long and got overly dehydrated. After 2 days of trying to keep any type of fluids down and a whole bunch of love from Josh I was able to stop and get back on my feet. I just hope it never gets me again. (lol so does Josh). Thanks for everyone who has kept us in their prayers and minds, its been great having all the support and love of everyone thru this pregnancy!
