33 weeks!!

I'm now 33 weeks and its getting close!! I told Matt once we get to 35 weeks the countdown officially begins!! I have 3 Dr's appointments next week and one of them is an ultra sound to see how big the peanut is getting!! I'm so very excited to see how big he is and how much he has changed! My Dr wants to watch and monitor his weight really closely because of the cyst I have and the pressure he will put on it as he gets bigger. As for now we are hanging out and ready to meet our handsome little man!!

31 1/2 weeks!!!

Its hard to believe that soon we will be welcoming little baby bird into the family soon!! Its so exciting and a bunch of other emotions all at once! I cant wait to meet him and see his daddy hold him in his arms! For now im feeling good today:)

If you look close you can see wear his foot is pressing up against my belly!!

Baby shower fun!!

Matt and I got to go home to Montana and have a baby shower with family and friends! It was so much fun to see my Mom and Dad and have a relaxing time with Matt! The trip started off with a non stop drive from Texas all the way to good old Bozeman. It was not bad at all to drive straight threw! We stopped in Colorado Springs and had dinner with Chelsea and Mr. Payson! That was so fun and enjoyable but let me tell ya an hour is not long enough to catch up on 8 months! Once we got to Montana it was non stop fun!! We had a great time playing in the pool with my brother and relaxing with my mom and dad. One of the first things we did was eat lunch with Michael and Em and Dave's sushi and boy was it AMAZING!!! Oh how I miss the little restaurants in bozeman.

Then it was baby shower fun!!

The yummy cake:)

I know your thinking pink decorations what? Em and I decided to have a joint baby shower and boy was it sooo much fun!! That's what happens when your practically sisters and your baby's are a month apart!







Making the men change the diapers!!

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!
r>r>



(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

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!!
