Becky, you must like getting pelted by snow balls!!!

Becky doesn't let me on here very often, but today she told me to figure out how to load videos from our camcorder to her blog so here you go. This all occured on a day we were in Idaho at Christmas time and there was a whole lot of snow. Becky wanted to make the most of it.... as usual! This is a short video of her getting pelted by a bunch of snowballs that she asked me to throw at her! Winter is so much fun in Idaho... but only when you're visiting!

Another Week Closer

So since I just posted something on thursday...nothing much has changed.

I am now 25 weeks pregnant and still loving it! Lowe moves all over the place now and Tyler and I both love it soo much! It's funny because it seems as though he'll move more when Tyler puts his hand on my belly. He'll kick and do somersaults and I love feeling him move.

I finally got around to getting a yoga for pregnancy dvd and was able to exercise for the first time since I found out I was pregnant...I know! That's awful that I haven't done any organized exercise for about 18 weeks but I was sooo tired and blah feeling that first trimester and have just now gotten the time to do stuff other than school. I'm hoping to do that workout at least twice a week if not three times and do some light weights and cardio. I need to prepare my little arms for carrying around Lowe and his car seat.

School's going to start this week...I'm looking forward to it only because this'll be my last semester. I cannot wait for it to be over so that I can finally be done with school!!! Yeah to finally becoming a nurse.

Poor Tyler is sick again this weekend. We're hoping that he won't get more sick than he is now! Luckily he's got the day off tomorrow so he'll have another day to rest and get better. I cleaned our entire house on Friday and I've been bugging Tyler about things when he's left something out of place. Normally it's the other way around since he normally cleans the house b/c I've always got work or school going on. It's nice when the house is clean and we both try to keep it that way.

15 weeks to go!

Happy New Year!!!

so i know that this post is a little late since it's already the 8th!!! but oh well. to sum up 2008...tyler and i had a great year! we both lived through it...hehehe...but moving on to important things, we adopted another dog (so now we have two), we got pregnant and bought a house! craziness!

for the first family home evening of the year we did a new years resolution thing that i found on this fhe planner blog (it's on my list off to the right if anyone cares to know) and i found the talk by Christoferson (spelling?...) from like 2000 that the little activity is based off of. so we read exerpts from the talk and filled out our paper about our resolutions. so far so good for me! i'm just waiting for some pregnancy yoga dvds to come in the mail so i can start working on the physical parts of the resolutions i made. there's four parts to the resolutions to be sure you include all aspects of your life: intellectual, social, physical and spiritual. we're planning on reviewing those papers on the first monday of each month to see how we're progressing! you've got to make pit stops with goals to be sure you're getting somewhere with them.

i finally got around to organizing the few belly pictures that we've taken of me...i think they're from about weeks 7, 8,9, 16 and for sure week 24...i know i know...some people are going to be disappointed in me for not taking these pictures more religiously but come on now...everyone knows that during the first trimester pictures of yourself are about the last thing you want!

Week 7ish

Week 8ish

Week 9ish

Week 16ish

And here's the most up to date pregnant picture of me! We took this on monday but i really think i'm getting bigger by the day!

So we got to spend Christmas up in Idaho with tyler's family. it was soo much fun! we got to see our little nephew Makray who is so cute! it was awesome to be able to see everyone and thanks again for everything! i can't wait to use the baby stuff everyone got us and thanks again lisa for cutting my hair!

it was a white Christmas up there and as soon as i can get it figured out....i'm going to post a video of the snow that fell on Christmas day, so much fun and oh so cold!

Update

so i know i haven't updated my blog is like a week but that's b/c there hasn't really been anything going on!!! i had my last few days of class and one of my two finals. yeah to getting an A in the class.

my belly is getting bigger and bigger...i can't even zip up my normal pants yet but yeah to the tummy sleeve being designed to hide that fact ;)

i've only felt little Lowe move twice so far...tyler was able to feel him once which was really exciting for both of us. people tell me that i'll get sick of it after a while, the moving that is, but i honestly don't think i will. i've waited a long time to get pregnant and now that i am, i love it and wish i could feel him more. tyler does too!!! he loves the fact that i'm getting all pregnant and also wishes Lowe would move a little more...hopefully he gets more active here in a little bit.

i'll get tyler to take some belly pics tonight and we'll get those posted so everyone can see how pregnant i'm looking (granted i don't look as pregnant as say Lindsey who's like 7 weeks ahead of me but still)

Maternity Clothes...

So I finally went out and bought some maternity clothes on friday. I made my friend Kathie come with me and we went to the maternity store. They did not have any cute clothes...I take that back. I found a cute skirt that I bought and then I got a 'tummy sleeve'. It's pretty much a little tube top type thing that you wear over your belly instead of your torso so you can wear your normal pants and this thing hides the fact that the pants aren't buttoned (or zipped...)...hehehe.

The jeans that they had at the maternity store were all about 3 inches too short for me...So I didn't buy any there but we went to Old Navy because our friend Heather said they had good maternity pants and they did! The had the pants in normal sizes (instead of just small medium and large) and they had short, regular and long too. I was very happy!!!

So there's my saga of maternity clothes so far...the tummy sleeve works wonderfully over my non-pregnant jeans and if it sticks out from under my shirts it just looks like a tank top.

Kathie and I ventured into Mervyns and all it's going out of business glory looking for maternity clothes (this was before we made our way to Old Navy). They did not have a maternity section anymore but we noticed that all the baby clothes were 70% off...so of course we went over there. I got about $75 worth of baby clothes for only $30!!! It was awesome! And no mom and dad...I didn't just buy things for Lowe! I bought some stuff for Dave and Lindsey's baby too!!! Kathie on the other hand bought stuff for Lowe and was like "Alright, I'm almost done shopping for your baby shower!" It was pretty funny...especially when she told me I was going to just forget about it between now and the baby shower!

So there was my fun friday of shopping at the mall...yeah to sales and maternity clothes that are cute and baby clothes for our little boy!!!

The House

So I finally got around to taking pictures of our house...so here they all are!!! I'm not sure what order they'll show up on the post so there's the living room with the couches, the kitchen, dining room, backyard (with grass and lemon tree), the room with the futon in the office and the other one with the fish tank will be the baby's room, the upstairs hall bathroom, the master bedroom, master bath and walk in closet!!! Yeah to our house!

Baby Boy Lowe!!!

So here are our sonogram pictures of our little baby boy!!!! He was being stubborn and stayed in one position for like 7 minutes!!! The sonogram tech kept trying to get him to move but he just stayed there.

The first two pics are just side views of our little boy. He's so cute!

The third pic is the position he would not get out of. Little weirdo is already doing yoga...yeah to downward facing dog.

In the fourth one, his head is on the right hand side and that's his little hand up in the center in the middle.

He's obviously a little boy as you can see in the last picture...hehehe how embarrassing!








So we are extremely excited and cannot wait for him to come. Yeah to having a little boy!
