Baby brain


I have to admit pregnancy is hard! People always tell you how AMAZING being pregnant is and it is amazing but its hard work! Nobody wants to tell you the truth and scare you or maybe they just forget all the crazy stuff because what you receive in return is complete bliss!! Even though pregnancy is ruff the good definitely trumps the bad! These are some of the things I will never forget and absolutely LOVE about being pregnant:

1. I will never forget the first time I felt his little flutters (I say flutters because it does not feel like a kick its more like butterfly's in your tummy)


2.The cute hiccups

3.pushing on his feet and him kicking back

4.kicking his daddy's back when we are laying next to each other in bed.


5.Matt constantly kissing my tummy and touching my tummy

6.feeling like their is a dance party in my tummy every time I eat. (he is so his fathers son)

7.Hearing his sweet sweet heart beat and knowing that he was going to pull threw and give us the pleasure of being his parents.


8.The countless ultrasounds and watching him grow!

(his sweet little head)


(He is looking at you in this pic kinda creepy hehe)

9.Finding out he was a boy!! (a great friend did the ultra sound so the experience was soo amazing love you girly)

(This pic is hard to see but if you look closly you can see his bum and these little round things..hehe This was taken at 15 weeks by our friend)





10.Feeling him stretch from the bottom of my belly to the top of my ribs (that's soo crazy it kinda hurts too)

11.Telling Matt I was pregnant!! (I didn't tell him for 2 days cause I didn't believe it myself and I didn't want to get his hopes up)

12.Telling my mom I was pregnant soo much fun! she screamed and cried and kept saying no way no way!! To funny

13.Finding out I was pregnant!

14.Reaching 20 weeks! I know that sounds dumb but reaching the half way mark is like a fat kid in a candy store exciting!!

(20 weeks)


(this is at 23 weeks I just love how cute my belly is in this one)

15.Putting together his crib!! Thanks great grandma!!


16.Last but not least so grateful for my Heavenly Father for letting me experience this wonderful journey of pregnancy. Matt and I were so scared we were not going to be able to have children of our own but thanks to many prayers and the Love my Savior has for me He blessed us with our little boy!


I cant wait to head back to montana to see my family in friends next week and to share this excitment with them in person. I cant wait for my baby shower im sure that will make the top favorites list but for now these were the things that I have absolutly loved about being pregnant!

28 weeks is hard work!!

I have absolutely loved being pregnant and getting to experience the joys of getting kicked, punched, and everything else in every part of my internal body!! I cant believe I'm 28 weeks pregnant and it is a little scary I'm not going to lie! I cant wait to meet my handsome little man and see my husbands face when he holds his son. Our little guy is growing rapidly and doesn't have a ton of room left to grow. I finally broke down and spent some money on maternity clothes. I have to say I have done so good staying in my regular jeans but these past two weeks my belly has popped out and is letting the bean grow! Sometimes it still does not seem real to me that we will have a baby in our house that will be all ours but I think that's normal. I cant wait to have him in my arms but for now I'm just enjoying being 28 weeks!

Happy 3rd of July weekend?!

What a fun 5 day weekend Matt and I had!! I say 5 day weekend because he got off of work Thur's morning and we started it out by going out to lunch at Olive Garden and then going to see the new Eclipse movie. It was a good movie packed with action! The night before we did eat out at chilli's to celebrate Matt passing his final test to get his 5 level at work! He was bummed he didn't do as well as he hoped for but with all the higher ups congratulating him he soon realized he did a great job! I'm so proud of him and all the hard work he has done! He works so hard and never complains. Then on sat we celebrated the 4Th of July on the 3rd but it was soo much fun and worth it! Matt and I headed over to Tye to watch the fireworks and eat some delicious food!! I was soo soo excited to get some kettle corn and funnel cake but sadly none of the 8 vendors that were there had any!! I was so sad!! How can you not have funnel cake or kettle corn at a 4th of July celebration?!! People say its a small town and there were only 8 vendors but Bozeman Montana is small and they usually have a billion vendors who sale funnel cake!! However we did get to eat some yummy roasted corn on the cob and a HUGE turkey leg!! We listened to some music and decided to head back to the car before it started to rain again! Bindy was the highlight of the evening, every 5 seconds we were stoped by kids and adults to pet her and tell her how adorable she was!! She enjoyed watching the fireworks and loved all the attention.

I love this picture it reminds me of a face and for some reason thought it was soo funny!






Matt and I at the 4Th of July bash


Mat ts giant turkey leg that I help eat!!


I just love fireworks!!






It has defiantly been a fun weekend and I enjoy spending time with Matt! I cant wait till our trip to Montana at the end of this month! I'm so excited to see friends and family!! Until then we love and miss you all!!

Oh baby!!

It has been so much fun getting things ready for our little man! Thanks to my grandma she bought us our baby crib!! Matt and I had a blast setting it up! There is something about the baby crib that makes it official! Its fun to walk into his room and see this beautiful crib that he will use soon! Its fun to wash all his little clothes and set them up! Its been a fun journey with lots of firsts! I cant wait to head up to Montana at the end of July and see my family!! I cant wait to show them all the ultrasound pics and for my mom to see my pregnant belly!! It should be lots of fun!! For now we are keeping plenty busy and just waiting for this little man to join the family!!
The beautiful crib!!


Sorry these are backwards I really don't feel like trying to put them in order!!






I went to this thing called bundle's for babies that the air force base hear has and at the end they gave me crib sheets, 5 white onesies, 3 cute sleepers, 3 burp cloths, a cute bath towel, wash cloth, bibs, cute little booties, a little hat, and a few other things!! It was so much fun and great advice especially if your a first time mom!!


I was so proud of myself I finally figured out how to make a cute baby sling and made Matt model it for me!! I have also made some receiving blankets and nursing covers!

Memorial Weekend!!

OOOHHH What a weekend!!! This Memorial weekend was needed for about 2 and a half weeks!! Matt has had a huge inspection and has been working "12" hour shifts. He really has been working 14-16 hour shifts!! It was so nice to see my husband and spend some quality time with him!! We had a ton of fun just shopping hanging out by the pool and hanging out in the house! We also had family pictures and I cant wait to see how they turned out and get them back. After family pictures Matt and I decided we wanted to take pictures of one another for fun. I thought the ones we took turned out really cute!! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend:)

20 weeks!!

It has been so much fun to watch my baby boy grow!! He is so handsome in all of his ultra sound pics and already has his daddy's features!! It has been a fun and eventful journey with this little man!! I do love being pregnant when I'm not sick, dehydrated beyond belief, falling up stairs, or dealing with a cyst! I have to admit it is definitely an experience having a little person inside you. I love that Matt can now feel him kick and move all around in my tummy. I am so addicted to feeling him move and when he is still for a moment or two I admit I shake my belly to feel him kick! He is now getting so big and is a whopping 13 oz. He loves to stretch out in my tummy and kick with both heals right in the sensitive areas! I am so excited to meet my little man in hopefully less then 20 weeks!! I sure love him so much already and cant imagine what its going to be like to hold him and kiss those sweet little feet!!

I love looking down and seeing my belly!! 18 weeks pregnant


20 weeks pregnant!!

FUN DAY!!

Matt has been working like crazy latly because of this big ORI they are having!! Its bascially a training inspection they do to practice for a chemical strike. So he has been almost living at work! They have worked 12 hour shifts including the weekends:( Well the other day matt only worked a half day and so we decided we were going on a date to the zoo because we missed the free zoo day due to nasty thunder!! We had a blast though!! We were like two 5 year old kids!!

Matt was trying to feed the birds!!


Look at these fish!! There were like a million of them!!


This lion in the back was so funny, everytime there was no one standing and looking at him he did his mighty lion RROOOAAARRR


I have to say the giraffes were by far my favorite!! They are so cute and have the best eyelashes


Look at that big black toung!!


I have never seen a buffalo (or bison to be correct) in captive like that!! When you live in Montana you can see them everywear!! Can you believe they even had praire dogs!!
