20 weeks and the ultra sound!

So, we had our appointment yesterday, and we are so excited! I was so happy about having a little girl! I can't wait! It was so fun having both of our mom's there...after the appointment we went straight to Old Navy to buy some cute little outfits and then my mother in law bought me some clothes at Motherhood Maternity. I can't wait to buy more for my little one, but I am trying not to go too crazy! Josh is neutral...excited, but hasn't really comprehended the whole idea! It was a fun day, ended with a great night at BUNCO! Life is awesome!

Brag session...


So, I am excited to post about our most amazing trip ever, but it will take a while so I need to do it later...check out my friend Adrienne's blog...she pretty much wrote the most detailed blog ever about our trip!
Anyway, back to my orginal post...my brother owns a graphic desgin and printing company in Southern California. He is way talented and has done work for well known companies. However, his most notable work is featured in People magazine this week. He designed and printed the wallpaper for Christina Aguilera's nursery! I would not have picked out this particular design...not my favorite at all. It has been interesting to hear all the behind the scene stories about it all, and I am excited to come up with the theme for my nursery. I am hoping my brother will come up with something super sweet for my babies room!
Expect another post very soon...I find out what I am having tomorrow! Yea! And, I will have to post another belly pic because I feel like I have popped out way more in the last week or so!

18 weeks and snow pics!

Me at 18 weeks! I think this picture makes me look bigger than I really am...I think it's the tight shirt or maybe I am just in denial! 1 and a half weeks till I am halfway done and find out what I am having! yea! Last night my sister in law waxed my legs (and burnt my eyebrows!) so I am all ready for Hawaii! 2 more days! I can't wait to wear flip flops!
These are pictures of the after math of the storm we had last week. After it stopped snowing, Josh went out and got to work! As you can tell, it was above his knees! It finally cleared up and we were still able to get out for the Super Bowl!

Web Cam and SNOW!

First of all, Josh and I got to talk with our good friends Jack and Sarah using a web cam. It was so cool! They've been living in Europe since October-ish and it was so fun to be able to see and talk to them. It made me want to get a web cam for everyone in my family so we can talk for free and see eachother while we talk. My nieces and nephews would love it too! So, one of my new favorite things is a web cam. I actually don't have one yet,(we used Josh's parents) but it's on my things to buy list!

The big news of the day is...we are snowed in! Ok, not literally, we can still open our front door, but even our church was canceled! This is part of an email from our bishop titled SNOW EMERGENCY...

RECOMMEND NO TRAVEL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
IF YOU TRAVEL ANYWHERE IN THE AREA, CARRY A SNOW SHOVEL AND BLANKETS IF YOU GET STRANDED.
KEY HERE IS THAT WE HAVE ALREADY PULLED SEVERAL FOLKS OUT OF THE SNOW DRIFTS...
UNLESS YOU HAVE 4 WHEEL DRIVE , DON’T LEAVE THE HOUSE. TAKE CARE OF YOURFAMILY FIRST, THEN HELP A NEIGHBOR.
ALL HOME TEACHERS CALL YOUR FAMILIES AND CHECK ON THEIR STATUS.
I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THOUGH A PLOW HAS BEEN ON SOME STREETS, CONDITIONS ARE SO BAD NOW THAT DRAPER IS NOT SENDING MORE PLOWS UNTIL THE STORM SUBSIDES.
IN SHORT, USE YOUR HEAD. KNOW YOUR CAPABILITIES...YOUR LIMITATIONS. DON’T PRESS BEYOND THEM.


Crazy huh! I wish I had a pic, but they aren't turning out too well, considering it is completely white outside! I swear I live in Antartica! This has been the worst winter ever! At least I only have 8 more days until I leave for Hawaii!
