Funny story

So I meant to post this after the Christmas holidays, but I completely forgot. We had Greg's mom's family over for our Moffett Christmas celebration. It was such a fun day, and we had quite the full house of relatives.

So I was sitting by his two cousins, Sophie (age 5) and A.J. (age 2 1/2) during lunch, and I can tell they are looking at my belly while we eat. Sophie then leans over and pseudo-whispers to A.J. "It's like it just shouldn't be that big." A.J. quickly shushes her and says "Sophie, be quiet. She just had a lot to eat at lunch."

It was halarious and completely priceless. And definitely the funniest thing I've heard during this time!!! Just had to share that moment!

Everything is going great. I just had another doctor's appointment today, and the little man is doing great. Strong heartbeat around 140, and I am measuring correctly too. We have started going every two weeks now, so it is starting to feel like he'll be here before we know it. Soo excited!

January Updates

Wow it has been a long time since I last posted....

Here are some catch-up pictures from the last month...

Here I am at 28 weeks. Getting bigger and bigger by the day...

Here are some pictures from our fun Christmas holidays.

First Sarah came and stayed with us while she visited Scott. The four of us traveled to Buena Vista for Christmas with Bob and Jan. Then, my mom, Shannon and David came out to Colorado. A few days later, Layne, Josh, Nan and Shoaf came out too. We had so much fun with them, and then after they left Pat joined Shan and we had a few fun days with them! It was so wonderful having so much family out here with us!

The little man's very own pearl snap shirt and overalls from Layne and Josh!

Fun activity of the week: indoor skydiving!

All of us at the first annual Shofarken Tacky Christmas Sweater Party.

Nice effort...

Very special friends... haha...

It was such a fun few days in Michigan. I just love Thanksgiving.

A busy boy...

Our little guy is really wiggly! He is moving like crazy now, and I think this is the most incredible feeling in the world.

And last night was a big night too... Greg got to feel him kicking for the first time. And then again tonight, he kicked him three times. It was an awesome time for our little family.

It's A Boy!

Our little guy! :-)

Flexing his muscles already...

Our "It's a boy" shot... I couldn't tell anything until they explained it to us...

21 weeks! Getting bigger....

What we've been up to...

The majority of our summer and fall was spent on a new home improvement project, and it is ALMOST done!

The previous owners of our house had a hottub, which sounded like a fun thing when we bought the house. However, they let the pipes freeze (and burst), so we decided to get rid of the hottub rather than fix it. This left us with a large hole in the middle of the deck as well as lots of warped and peeling boards.

So... we decided to take on the new project of rebuildling our deck. Greg did an awesome job of planning and laying out the whole thing. And then with the help of some great friends, the purchase of a miter saw (and a new drill and new skill saw) it is three rails short of being done! Hooray!

Gutting the old deck!

Measuring boards for the lower level.

Framework for the upper level!

We were so thankful for the friends who helped us!

Good thing we picked only strong friends to help!

Getting there...

Yeah! Almost done!

the baby bump...

Well I promised belly pictures, and since we have so many family and friends who won't be able to see me a lot during this time, here you go...

Here I am at 17 weeks! It is so much fun!

Pregnancy Update: Everything has been going great so far. I had some morning sickness during the first trimester, but nothing bad at all. The biggest change I noticed was how tired I became... I could literally come home at 7:30 and fall asleep on the couch for the whole night. Now that we've moved into the second trimester, I feel a lot more like myself. (I make it to at least 8:30 before falling asleep...) haha! I've had a lot more energy, and have wanted to eat a lot more too!

During our doctor's appointment at week 12, the doctor's told us they were worried about my sugar, and so they tested me early for gestational diabetes... I did that test last week, though, and everything came out great. They'll retest at the normal time (week 26 I think), but other than that, they said everything sounded good! It's starting to feel more and more real, and we go for our 20 week ultrasound on November 18th... we are still deciding if we are going to find out the sex, but we'll keep you posted.
