Friday Date Night

Matt and I decided to go out after work since we both had energy and we probably won't get to do this very often in the months ahead!

We went out to eat and rented a movie from Red Box. I love it when we drag the TV back to our room and watch it in bed! It's the simple things in life, isn't it? :)

Anyway, we snapped just a couple pictures of me as I knew my getting-larger-by-the-day belly would make you all happy. Especially since it was not disguised at all! From the front it is harder to see..


But not as hard from the side!

Another marketing friend of mind in Colorado Springs gave me a few boxes of maternity clothes and in it I found this shirt. I am certain it is not maternity at all, but it works well! I seem to do a lot better with non-maternity wear anyway!

We're Pregnant!!!

Okay, so I have been waiting to update this blog because Matt wanted to post picture and videos of his snowboarding trip with the boys. But...it is taking too long to get that done so I am going to go ahead and make this post anyway!

So I have been pregnant for a little while now...21 weeks to be exact. So I thought it was about time I announced the news on our blog as I am close to completing my 5th month.

We found out on December 20th...so just a few days before Christmas! We were elated and it has been an exciting and crazy journey ever since! Just in the last few weeks have I begun to show and 4 weeks ago I let work know. And also, by the way, Matt will be starting full time for Encompass Home Health Care (the company I currently work for) in just a week and a half. He has been working on the weekends for this company and decided he loves it. So we will be working for the same company again! It is a great move for our family as we expand.

So here is the most recent update: Our 20 Week Ultrasound. We have decided to wait to find out the gender until delivery...so that part was not a part of the appointment. Here I am on our way out the door.


The hospital where we will welcome this new life into our lives.


On my way into the doctor's office.

We had a really great visit and ultrasound. And we didn't succumb to the temptation of finding out the gender! In fact, when we told the ultrasound tech that we wanted to wait to be surprised she didn't even zoom in to find out because she said she didn't want to let it slip! But everything looks great.The baby is developing well and on schedule. It is so amazing to see this little life up on the screen and know that it is living and growing inside of me. I just can't believe the baby has everything now that it will have when he/she is born. It will just continue to grow and develop until delivery.

Matt really enjoyed it also and was able to figure out what we were looking at throughout. I, on the other hand, had to be walked through the whole thing! Matt was so sweet and held my hand throughout.

Here is one of the profile pictures of our bundle of joy:

The baby is weighing/measuring in at 21 1/2 weeks and a full pound! So a little bit bigger than where we actually are.

A few more pictures for your viewing pleasure from this evening after work.
