We found it

We finally found our first way to access red chili up here. The dumb
part is that if you want it you must become a millionaire before you
can purchase an ounce of chili. Oh well! Thanks mom and dad for the
extra green chili that we have frozen in our fridge!

15 weeks Pregnant

So I confess, we have not been blogging very regularly lately and yet we have so much to blog about! For those of you that may not know, I am pregnant! I remembered to post on Facebook but I never wrote a blog about it! I think in our efforts to try and at least near the end of the first trimester before we told anyone, I stopped blogging because telling the whole world I was pregnant was the only thing I wanted to do. SO, to not be too overly tempted, I just didn't blog anything. And that horrible trend stuck. I'll try to be better I promise!


The above pictures cover when we first found out at 5 weeks and our appointment at 6 weeks.

Well I am 15 weeks pregnant and we are so incredibly excited! It's been a fun experience so far despite some of the things that have come with it. I have had a "typical" pregnancy so far. Nausea for several months, headaches, round ligament pains, etc. and the symptoms have come and gone at all the "typical" times. 12 weeks hit and miraculously I was only nauseous 2 days a week instead of all of them and now it's gone. Headaches have picked up but our nurse midwife said that they should since I'm now working to create and pump 50% more blood than normal. These one feel like back issues though and oh how I miss Dr. Byrd, my chiropractor in ABQ! My stomach is slowly growing and I have to wear the belly band and use a rubber band on the button the first few days of freshly washed jeans.

The first picture is at 8.5 weeks, the second is at 11 weeks, and the third is at 12 weeks.

It's been really fun though just experiencing this all with Johnny. He has been excited to become a father for about a year now and having your spouse be equally excited about the little human in you is fantastic. We read about the development together and look at baby furniture together. He's always pulling up this baby name application on his phone and looking at different names. He even worked it out so we may be able to get another free ultrasound in the next week or so. This is just another step we've been able to take together and grow in together and I am so thankful that God has given him to me. We have been able to go through school together, changes, different jobs, moving, the loss of one baby, and now the growth of another and God has enriched our lives through all these experiences and shown us how we just need to love Him and each other more. I'm excited to be a parent, with all the trials and joys, and to share that with my love!

Mothers Day

So I officially got to celebrate my first mothers day this year! It was so new and fun! Everyone wished me Happy Mothers day as their faces held sly little knowing smiles of what is to come. I got two cards in the mail (thanks MIL and Jen!!!) and it was all around a fun day. Johnny pretty much spoiled me and we totally broke any budget we were planning on having for this month but who cares, we had fun doing it! Friday night he brought me home a bouquet of beautiful roses that smelled wonderful! I was already asleep when he got home so I was surprised by them as I woke up the next morning to get ready. Then on Sunday he made me eggs with green chili, onion, tomato, and cheese. After church we went out to lunch just the two of us to Bullmans Pizza and just decided that since the movie theater was across the parking lot and it was perfect timing, we'd go see Star Trek! Which was awesome by the way! Pretty much whatever I said I wanted to do, Johnny said lets go. I even got a craving for a slurpee (I saw some people with them in the movie) and we drove to 4 different gas stations to find me one... he said he had to make the baby and his pregnant wife happy ;-) We couldn't believe that none of the gas stations sold them! It was ridiculous! Johnny also got me a gift card to target so that I can buy prego clothes when the time come and he bought me these shoes I've been wanting for 2 months! After all that, we then got to enjoy dinner with Coy and Sara and just have a really chill evening!

Entrance Fail

In the spirit of doing some mother's day shopping for my newly mom
wife I was about to walk into the door where I first saw that it told
me to enter and I was about to reach for door handle I read another
sign that said "do not enter". Confused... I tried the other that
allowed me to get in. Anyways this is an entrance FAIL!
