26 days to know...

So we went to the doctor today and everything is going fine with the pregnancy. We get to find out on December 1st whether our baby is a boy or a girl!!! AND WE CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!

The appointment is at 330pm...so it's in the afternoon and I'm going to have to wait until after school to find out! I hope the day goes by quickly!

As a good friend put it...thanks Heather..."You have a belly!". My nursing school friends all agreed that I had grown a belly over the weekend. It's funny because I really have grown a little tiny pregnant belly it seems...over the weekend. Tyler tells me not to stick my belly out but I'm not sticking it out ever anymore. I think that I'm just getting used to being pregnant and don't care that I'm getting chubby! Now in reality, I've had the blessing of the "Joslin Genes" and have never had a weight issue so gaining weight and having a belly are very foreign things to me but I am enjoying them beyond anything in this world!

So vote on what gender of baby you think Tyler and I are going to have!!! Yea to babies!!! (Just to be clear, both our NP and the MD say there's only one baby in me so sorry dad...no little triplets or any sort of multiples!)

We're 13 weeks and 2 days along...

YEAH!!!! So to everyone that didn't already know...Tyler and I are expecting our first baby! We found out back in late August, early September and we are so excited about it. We won't know until early December whether we're having a boy or girl and we definitely want to know what we're having!!!

I am due on May 1st...two weeks and a day before graduation!!! AHHH!!! But it's perfect timing I think. I'll have time to recouperate before my one final and then there will be lots of family around to watch the baby while I walk during my graduation from nursing school!!! Oh so exciting!!!

We will post some pictures once I start to get chubby and some of the ultrasound after we get it in December...yeah!!!

Poor Tyler!!!

So Tyler emails me to let me know that when he was downtown today getting some paperwork signed for work...he got caught in an elevator!!! He said the power went all out and the lights were all off and that the elevator stopped!!! HOW SCARY IS THAT?!?!?!?!? He didn't say how long he was trapped but I'm thinking it wasn't too long and who knows too if there were other people in the elevator but still...super creepy and scary!!! Poor Tyler...I'm just glad that it wasn't me...


P.S. That is not a picture of Tyler trapped in the elevator but I'm sure he was probably doing that...

New Favorite Game

so tyler's new favortie game is Scrabble...and i decided that i despise that little checkered gameboard and all it's happy letters! tyler said he had never played scrabble before in his life (which i find hard to believe b/c i know i've played with ben and sarah and tyler...there in their tiny little apartment on the living room floor...)

so in the first two times that he's played he's beat me soundly...Sarah...i really need you to come and play a game with him and score like 500 points or something! i like playing it better when it's me and ben just being stupid and trying to keep sarah from getting so many blasted points!!! but when it's just me losing by a ton of points to little mr i've never played this game before it makes me feel like my vocabulary is that of a two year old!!! he always steals the places i want to put down letters...like tonight...i could have scored like 39 points on a three letter word and he took the spot so there went my big score!!!

but he likes playing the game...it's nice to find a game he likes to play...it's a step towards having people over to play games!!!!!!!!!! yeah!!!

once again...the next time we're all together sarah...i would like for you to play scrabble with tyler...it's make me feel better (but then again, now i know how ben has felt all these years losing scrabble to his spouse...albeit i'm sure sarah's words are always these non normal words like all the rest of the world uses...they're all really smart words!!!)

Rocky Point, August 2008

so i'm finally going to get to put up pictures and tell about our awesome trip down to rocky point!!!

There we are on the beach! But moving on, we had this awesome one bedroom one bathroom condo. If i can ever figure it out i'll put the video of it that i took on here...the balcony had a perfect view of the ocean which we were right on...well, we were right on the beach.

We got there on friday night, the first of august and we left there on the 6th, the wednesday following. it was so nice not to have anything to do but what we wanted to do! and we got to eat all the mexican food and panaderia bread that we wanted to!!! this bread is the most delicious stuff i've ever had in my life! i've found one in tucson...well, at least the address to one so tyler and i are going to have to check it out sometime.

saturday morning we went and got full body massages at the spa inside out resort. so nice and relaxing!!! we then went and played on the beach for a bit. it was slightly windy and so the waves were nice and high! i wish i coud have gotten a picture of this one time when tyler was in the water playing in the waves...he got hit by this big one and got tumbled in the water. i saw him get hit and then the next thing i saw was his feet up and out of the water! we were laughing so hard it hurt!

one of the nights we went on this dinner cruise...it was okay until i got really kind of motion sick...i just felt really sick and the water was really choppy so that didn't help at all! one of the guys on the boat cut up a lime and saturated it with salt and told me (tyler really since he was speaking in spanish) that i needed to eat all these little salty lime pieces and i would feel better...it kind of helped but i still felt bad for the rest of the time. it wasn't really fun at all for either of us even if i hadn't gotten sick. they served all the beer and margaritas people could drink free of charge (so you can imagine how many drunk people there were on this boat) but they charged us for our waters!!! stupid but oh well, we won't be doing that again!

we went parasailing, those pictures are on a disposable waterproof camera i have yet to get developed...so check back later for some of those images. it was really fun though b/c tyler and i went up together and we were really high above the ocean. it was so nice and peaceful and the view was great!!! tyler and i were debated whether we'd be able to get my dad to do that (if we're ever able to convince him to come down to mexico to begin with!!!)

we rode the banana boats, that picture is on the waterproof camera too. i took it from the water after i fell off! tyler told the guys we wanted to go fast so boy did the driver of the boat go fast! we both fell off once each and it was so much fun!

we watched movies at night, went out to the beach a few times to lie down and look at all the stars. i know tyler didn't believe my but i swear we could see part of the milky way! it was awesome! so many stars!

we had all the street tacos we could eat! those things are delicious and i'm having a craving for them right now since i'm talking about them...we know of a little van we can go get some out of here in town if we need to...which we might need to tonight b/c those sound really good right now!!!

i can't think of much else about the trip. it was just a load of fun and i am so glad that melissa introduced me to the Sonoran Spa resort there in rocky point. it's awesome and so beautiful there!!! so now i'm just going to add some more pictures from the trip!

Random Update

so my mom says that i don't update this thing as much as i should...i'm not sure what all i could write on here seeing as how all tyler and i are doing right now is working and working...

i got to go to a long time friend's wedding reception last night and it was so good. angela went with and it was pretty funny b/c the reception was literally at this castle! the invite said it was as the castle at ashley manor and we had no idea what this place was. i was driving and as we came around this corner angela was all "so i'm thinking that that's probably it", i looked over and there's this castle all lit up and off to the side. we laughed so hard for a while b/c it's so random!!!

angela introduced me to the ikea store today...i cannot wait until tyler and i have a house of our own that i can decorate!!! they've got so many cute things there that i would love to use...someday!
