Baby Time! Finally!!

Due date: 11/11/2009
Yes its true! Finally, we are pregnant! We had to take two different tests to make sure! I decided to take the test one day just to get it over with (thinking that I definitely wasn’t pregnant). But then there was a positive sign! I couldn’t believe it! Tommy was at school so I had to wait for him to get home, but then Jake came over with Tommy after school so Tommy could help him with his school schedule, so I had to wait even longer to tell Tommy. So while Tommy took Jake back to his dorm I put up a few streamers. When Tommy got back home he automatically new what was going on. I had him sit down and I told him that "we are going to have a baby!" He couldn’t believe it either. So we went out to Craigo's Pizza to celebrate, then went to the store to buy another test just to make sure. Sure enough! Another positive! We couldn’t wait to share the news with everyone and started calling!

I went for my pre - OB appointment today just to ask any questions that I might have. I am happy to know that not only is it ok for me to keep running but it is good for the baby and I am all about anything to help our baby grow strong and not to mention; help make the delivery go more smoothly and faster! My first real appointment is on April 7th and we are both so excited! Tommy is really excited and keeps reminding me to be careful with our precious cargo, its so sweet! We are so excited to find out if its a Boy or a Girl so we can start calling it by name. I am also really excited to start making a blanket for our own baby!

Family Night

Part of family night yesterday we made some cupcakes together. In an effort to welcome spring and try to bring it in faster we decorated in spring colors. Tommy was in charge of directing the mixing of ingredients, I frosted them and Tommy did a great job of putting the sprinkles on. We need to practice baking together so we will be ready for when we open our bakery!

Weekend Events

This last weekend we went to Bear World. The park just had a bunch of bear cubs born last month and they said that you could go down and see them for free, so we went to check it out. But when we got there we found out that this was not all true. You had to pay $15 to get your picture taken with the cubs and that was the only way you could see them. So these pics are the best pics we could get. We were both surprised at how small they were. They weren't any bigger than a small puppy but with big claws!


Since there wasnt too much excitment inside of the park we had to make do:

After Bear World we wanted to do something else so we went to the Rexburg Animal Shelter. It was so much fun because they let you take the dogs out and play with them. WELL! There were TWO lab puppies at the shelter that were only like a month or two old and we fell in love with them. It took everything inside of us to not adopt both of them. So we sadly left empty handed!

It's Alive!

Finally Tommy got the jeep running!! It has acquired the name of "The Skeez" because it is so trashed but serves its purpose. We took it out two weeks ago and it did pretty good, I guess there is something that we still need to fix before we can take it out again. This has been a long time coming! We bought it about a year ago and are just now getting it running. Needless to say Tommy is way stoked! I am pretty excited also!
Here is Tommy getting ready to drive it around for the first time since we got it!
