Pop!

Well here you go! My first post of a belly shot. 20 weeks plus and I can't believe we are where we are. Being pregnant has been a whole new experience (duh! I know) I do admit that being able to feel my little guy move (constantly might I add) is truly an incredible way to feel connected to my baby. Curtis is so cute, he will cup his hands around my growing belly and talk to the baby, which in turn makes Jack jealous like no other.
Curtis and I have been pretty busy. We are preparing for his surgery (suprise) which he is having in a couple of weeks and will be down for the count for... well a while. He is getting his ACL replaced/remade/fixed? From his surgery they say he will be able to run at about 16 weeks which is 2 days after our due date! So we are trying to take care of everything we can now like getting the baby room all done. The background to this picture is our little project from yesterday. We started taping off the room and getting it ready for paint (probably tomorrow) and I have started to hunting down some fun fabrics to make the baby bedding (Material Girls by the way is a BIG weakness of mine)
This week we also finished painting our bedroom (a bright peacock blue!) it is pretty fun and a good change from the blinding white walls they used to be (please note our new bedding I got for a killer deal from Overstock.com!)
I know it looks way vibrant but I blame the flash on giving it SO much light! It looks a little toned down normally. Take note of our mis-matching bedroom set, my butterfly lamp and Curt's sophisticated lamp. Also Curt's bedside humidifier and kleenex... My poor baby has been sick this weekend (which he blames on eating salad, yeah pretty ridiculous)
Our biggest project will be this summer finishing our backyard (finally, no more muddy Jack!!!) which is being funded by U. Sam! Our next doc appt is this Wednesday in which I will have plenty of more pictures of the little man and even a video (maybe I can figure out how to post that) I was telling Curtis what if we go in and they say "Oh actually it looks like you are actually having a little girl" Curtis' reply to that was "Well they better have a good explanation for what was between her legs at the last ultrasound!" We would be thrilled either way, we are just so esctatic about this new life of parenthood we will just be grateful for what Heavenly Father blesses us with!
This is my adorable niece Rori Ana and my Momma! She is just such a cute fun little baby I couldn't help but show her off!

I have the best husband ever!


Valentines this year by far beat all years past! My sweet, dear husband surprised me with a couples massage at Sanctuary. It was SO amazing! As most of you all know I am such a wimp when it comes to pain and being pregnant I have been struggling with most all the pregnant woes that us women experience. A massage was just what I wanted/needed and am so grateful that he was so thoughtful! Not only was it just that I got most of my kinks worked out but the couples package was very romantic!!! I highly recommend this type of experience if anyone is looking for a great gift!

Little Movements

Yesterday before church Curtis finally was able to feel our little bud move! What an overwhelming feeling it is to be able to feel those little movements of our little man and to be able to share them with Curtis. I think it helped Curtis feel even more connected to not only the pregnancy and the never ending crazyness that becomes me but more connected of the life growing inside of me.
