We moved!! Again...

We have relocated again! We are now living in Nashville Tennesse!! I am soo happy! I LOVE it here in Nashville! Our apartments are awesome! We live walking distances to EVERYTHING imaginable!! It's a band new area of town! A new walmart is just a couple miles from our apartments! It's so awesome! I absolutely couldn't be happier with this move! The only down side is we are living in a hotel for the next little while and we don't know how long we'll be in the hotel, we might be able to move into our apartment as soon as tomorrow or as late as the 8th of July!!

We were kinda sad/grumpy about leaving Minnesota tho! We had to leave our van there because it was having some problems and wouldn't have made it to N-town! Brady was so sad to say good-bye to that thing! He loved it!

On our way down here we stopped in Nauvoo for a night and spent the next day seeing some sites. We went to Carthage Jail. Here are a couple pictures of us at the jail. It was a really neat place to visit and we really loved the spirit there!



After Carthage we went up to Nauvoo and stopped at Joseph Smith's grave and then went up to see the temple!



This isn't the best picture of all of us and the guy that took it cut off the top of the temple, but it's the only picture I got of the whole group! We had such a fun drive down there!


It took us 3 days to get down here when we probably could have done it in one, but it rained from Nauvoo all the way till Nashville! The second night we stopped cuz we couldn't go faster then 45mph without slipping or being able to see the road. I was also having some small contractions bc of it so it was a much needed night of rest before finishing the last 3 hours of the drive! But we made it here in one piece and are happy to finally be here!

Pregnancy question:

I lost 8 pound when I first got pregnant, and now I think I've gained it all back. Is that alot of weight to gain back or is that normal? I don't know for sure if I've really gained it all back but I know I have atleast gained 5 pounds! Normal, not normal? Too fast? Ahh I know I shouldn't be but I'm paranoid about gaining a lot of weight! I'm ok with gaining 25-30 pounds but that doesn't have to happen till the end of my pregnancy!!

A little visit from a friend...

So last night I was getting a movie ready to watch in our living room and I looked over out our sliding door and this little guys was sitting on top of the railing just staring at me! To say the least it scared me to death! I cussed a couple times and ran into the kitchen to the safety of Brady's side... After I realized that the poor thing had no way of getting into my apartment I calmed down and we went over to see if we could play with it a little... Well this things ended up liking us... ALOT! We would put our hands on the window and he would put his paws up to our hands! It was soo cute! Brady wanted to feed it but I didn't want it to get anywhere near coming into our apartment or thinking that we would be feeding it dinner every night. Cute from a far, but far from cute... without a glass door blocking it from me!

Interesting thing to see out on your porch...

Twins Game! and belly picture!!

Last friday night we got invited by our good friends Chris and Jess Orvin to go to a Twins game with them!! I was soo excited and I had been wanting to go to this exact game because they were playing my most fav team ever, the Braves!!! I love them so much that for my senior trip after I graduated high school I skipped out on a trip to Vegas with my girl friends and went to Atlanta with my Daddy and went to a Braves game!! Anyways! Back to the Twins game! We had such a fun time! It was kind of a bad idea to go to the game hungry cuz we got soo much food from there and they charge an arm and a leg for the food!! We got hot dogs, drinks, sunflower seeds, Red Vines!, popcorn, and a $5 dollar water!!! AHHH! I don't even wanna try adding up how much we spent on food alone! We had a blast! Thanks Chris and Jess for inviting us to go with you guys!!

The new field is HUGE!!
And since I'm such a slacker about taking a really recent picture I am gonna post this picture of my belly, its about 2 weeks ago so I have grown a little since then!

This is at 18 1/2 weeks.

Pregnancy updated

Well I'm 20 weeks! Woo Hoo!!! I made it to the half way point! SO I thought I would do a little pregnancy update on how my pregnancy has been so far!

Cravings:

I swear I get a new one every day but my first real craving was Pickles with cream cheese on them! Gross huh? Well not really, that still sounds good to me but I don't go through a jar of pickles a day anymore!

I also crave P.F. Changs lettuce wraps! And just recently I started craving chipotle chicken tacos!

Pretty much any tacos or mexican food I crave!

I also crave french fries! (applebee's french fries have been my fav as of lately!)

Morning Sickness: - sucks!!

I was extremely sick for the first 13 weeks, and then I figured out that zofran and a half a unisom before bed cures my morning sickness. But before that happened I lost 7 or 8 pounds... I'm about even with that now, I've gain 8 back since then.

Baby:

We found out it is a girl at 16 weeks. I just bought her first outfit! it's a cute lil pink one-z (?) that has giraffe print on it and in the front pocket it has two giraffes and it says "mommy and me"! It's soo cute! Brady got all teary eyed when he saw it! He's been so cute!

I started feeling her move aroung 15 weeks, way early I know! Now she is a wild child! She has been keeping me up at night lately! If fact a week ago I woke up in the middle of the night cuz she kept kicking me, and after I was completely awake I realized that she just kept twitching and then she'd through in a kick and a punch every couple minutes. But I pretty sure that she had the hiccups. It was so fun! I couldn't go back to sleep so I woke brady up and he sat up with me and felt her kick me! Sometimes she'll kick me really hard and I won't be expecting it and so I jump cuz it scares me! The next time we will see her will be sometime in July at my next Dr. appointment. Names that we have picked out are Teslee or Macee. We are leaning more towards Macee, but we really can't decide yet. We both feel like her name is such an important part of who she is and we want to make sure that its the right one.

Daddy:

He's amazing, as always! He is always telling me to take it easy. He gives me neck rubs almost every night! When I say I'm going to the pool he always will check on me to make sure I'm not getting too hot! He was soo awesome when I was really really sick! He took over all my chores, he even cooked for me like every day (if I felt like eating) I dare say he's better at doing the laundry and dishes then I am! (thanks to his mama of course!) He knew it was a girl from the second I was pregnant! And like I said early he gets teary eyed sometimes when he see things that are for her. He is going to be such an amazing daddy! I can't wait to see him in action with our little one!

Mommy:

I try not to complain because this is such a blessing but sometimes it is really hard for me to be pregnant. I get really uncomfortable at night and have such a hard time sleeping that all I can do is cry. Sleep is such an important part of me being about to function normally that when I have to go without it for a long time, I just cry... I know I am really gonna struggle once the baby gets here. But for now, I don't have a baby so I have no excuse... On top of my allergies I have really bad pregnancy congestion. (Thanks to all the extra blood in my body!) Constipation, I won't even go there! So besides the whole sleep thing I really am loving being pregnant! It's the most amazing feeling to feel my little girl moving inside! It really helps me when I'm having a hard time. I feel so blessed to be able to be a mom. It's such a great life long calling!

I am feeling loved!

So yesterday I had a really hard day... Brady had worked all day, from 9 in the morning till 10 at night. So needless to say he was exhausted when he got home. So this morning Brady had an interview at a place he's looking at doing an internship at and he was gone before I woke up. When he came home he gave me these with one of the sweetest notes I've EVER received (it even made me cry)... He felt so bad about last night cuz he knew I had had a bad day... I feel so loved from him right now! And I'm so grateful for the love that he shows me. He even helped me clean our house this morning and took me on a nice walk and let me gab his ear off the whole time! It was perfect! Today is much better then yesterday... {sarah}
