33 weeks down.
Seven weeks to go! Finally feel like I'm in the home stretch of this pregnancy. Doctor England put me on bed rest after a little preterm labor scare a couple weeks ago... Basically I need a quiet hobby. Maybe I'll take up knitting again. I gotta keep baby roberts in the oven a little longer :)
I think it's finally becoming a reality for my hubby, bless his heart. He's been doing such a good job taking care of me. Rubbing my back, my feet and neck. Helping me stand up or tying my shoes :) such a sweetheart. Makes it really hard when he says dumb things. One of the best things he's said to me this week was "I think I'm finally starting to like your pregnant body.". Thanks babe, only took ya seven and a half months.
Te whole pregnant body thing has been hard for both of us I think. Especially me, I've never been over weight basically I've been the same since since my sophomore year of high school and gaining all this weight is hard! I've gained a total of twenty pounds so far. Which is really good I know especially with your first. But still twenty pounds I've never experienced before is beyond bizarre. Oh well hopefully I'll be able to bounce back quickly.
On a completely different note, my cute sister in law Jessica is prego and just found out its a girl today! Bitter sweet for me... I guess boys can be cute too. Just kidding I'm very excited for my baby boy. I just wish I could do the whole ruffled tights and hair bows thing :)
We finally got the nursery painted. That's as far as it goes I have no decoration up yet but that's soon to come :) anyways just rambling now so here's a pic of the nursery and my tummy. Enjoy

Oh the hormones
I feel like during this whole
Pregnancy I have done pretty well with staying "normal".
Nothing too crazy concerning hormones. At the very beginning I cried more often but that slowly stopped.
As I begin my third trimester I feel like my emotions are on full throttle. Whether its me being happy and in a good mood or bawling hysterically and everything in between.
Chris and I have noticed i am lot more whiney lately, I want what I want and when I want it. For some reason lately it's been frazzles from the gas station.
I haven't really blamed the pregnancy for any hormone issues until today when Emotionally I hit a wall, it's pretty embarrassing so why not share it with the world.
Chris and I took a very lazy Sunday today. I'm talking neither of us even brushed our teeth till past noon. No one got dressed, we basically didnt move off the couch.
After finishing our third movie Chris started kissing me, I not being into it i shrugged it off. Jokingly Chris made the observation of me not being into it anymore because I'm preggie. (truth)
I just laughed and walked into the bedroom where I put on some.... Lingere.
I sat back on the couch and laid my head on Chris's chest. For some reason at that moment I realized how giant my Tummy is getting and how unattractive I really felt. Chris kissed me not knowing anything was wrong and I immediately burst into tears. Hysterically. I couldn't even explain why I was crying, Chris was laughing in confusion which made everything worse of course. Luckily I stopped long enough to explain my insanity and Chris assured me that I'm still beautiful. To him anyway. Looking back its pretty embarrassing but pretty funny.
I hope these hormones go away after the baby comes. i feel like a crazy person.

Funny facts of our lives
So, I am 28 weeks pregnant this week. Coming out of my second trimester is a lot harder then I want it to be. I'm starting to feel all the aches and pains of being pregnant. Sore back, hip pain, the whole works. And I'm still throwing up...wasn't that suppose to be over a while ago?!
Top ten things that are harder to do being pregnant.
1. Changing bed sheets when one side of your bed is against the wall
2. Shaving your legs, sorry Chris
3. Sitting up after laying down on the couch.
4. Walking fast, especially if you have to pee.
5. Not being able to pop your back
6. Only being allowed to take Tylenol
7. Simply bending over.
8. Sitting, standing, Laying down or moving or a long period of time (basically never comfortable)
9. Always being hot.
10. Feeling whinny all the time.
Oh and bonus: being super touchy sensitive
Here is the real kicker though
My sweet husband is trying so hard to keep me happy with this pregnancy, it's adorable. This week was my birthday and i got spoiled of course. But this is not about how much I love him ( I really do, promise) but its time
Someone else knows what he "accidentally" says sometimes.
All these have been very recent.
1. After cutting open my elbow, bleeding sufficiently, Chris says "did you get blood on the couch?!" (before asking what happened or if I was okay. Typical)
2. After coming home first thing he says after walking in the door " wow you look really....pregnant today". (Awesome, of course I do.)
3. "just be cause you're a lot heavier now doesn't mean you can beat me up" (watch me)
4. "can you stick your belly button back in? It's grossing me out!" (enough said.)
5. "you throw up like a champ now" (that's something to put on my resume)
6. "I wonder what our baby will look like, we know if he looks like me he won't be ugly" (what's that suppose to mean?!)
7. "It's like an alien in there"
8. "you are a lot... Hairier being pregnant" (yes, yes I am. We're actually growing a monkey in there")
Those are just a few peachy things he "accidentally" says. Puts his foot in his mouth almost everyday. Good thing I can just laugh, pretend to pout and hold it over his head for a while.

getaways, gray skies, and good times.
I just got home from such a fun little girls getaway vacation with my beautiful in laws :).
I started out my trip by flying to see my sister in law Angela and her cute little fam dam in the one and only Oklahoma City. Which I had never been to before so that was fun! I had never flown by myself so that whole part was kinda stressful to me but it all went fairly smoothly so no complaints! But anyways... from OKC I joined Ang and her three kids in a road trip to Gulf Shores Alabama, which is where sister in law number 2 Jennifer lives with her hubby and three little girls! Driving was a bit hectic but i planned for that since i knew it was a long long long drive and with three little kids of course it wasn't going to be peaches and cream. It wasn't that bad though! The kiddos were a lot better then I could have ever hoped for :) . While on our way there we ran into some nasty weather and decided to break up the drive into two days, where we stayed in Mississippi. Beautiful trees everywhere!
After we finally made it to Alabama, we were bummed to see gray skies and rain since our whole plan for the trip was to lie on the beach and get some sun! We tried to keep busy as we waited for the rain to clear... we went bowling, in which i did not participate since I'm the world worst bowler. We visited Alligator alley, which I posted pictures of already. ( one of my very most favorite parts) Finally the last two days we were there the sun decided to grace us with its presence and we played at the beach as much as the kids could handle. We saw tons of jelly fish and even a few dolphins. It was so beautiful, definitely not what i had pictured for Alabama!
It was so much fun to spend time with the girls and my mother in law Gay :) since they all live so far away its always a blast to see each other, never a lull in the conversation that's for sure. Especially since I'm officially six months prego and they were all lovin on my tummy tum! Its starting to grow so fast!
Ang and I decided to drive all the way home in one day, which wasn't too terrible since we had pretty good weather the whole way home. It took us a little bit longer then usual but blame me...pregnant ladies gotta pee.
I stayed in OKC for an extra couple of days which was really neat... Ang took me around the City and showed me the OKC bombing memorial. I didn't know much about it going into it but You could definitely feel a different type of peace walking around. So sacred. So sad.
I flew home late last night and it definitely feels good to be home. I feel like i haven't slept great in a week. Such a bitter sweet thing coming home. Chris isn't home yet so its not like I had someone to come home to... unless you count my mommy, which I should because I missed her just as much lol.
Less than a week before my handsome husband comes home and I couldn't be more excited!
Then we can get crackin on all this baby stuff!

One week down
Well Chris has officially been in Korea for one whole week only three more to go! I definitely have had mixed feelings with him gone. Yes I miss him, more then I could imagine. But I'm so excited to go visit his sisters in Oklahoma and Alabama that it's hard to be too sad lol
One thing though you have to know about me though is that I am the most paranoid person in the world. For this I blame my mother mostly. She has too many scary stories for self and we share a love for horror movies. And I watch too way too much tv. Csi, law and order, and pretty much every show like this have taught me paranoia.
Chris bring gone does not help my situation out one little bit. I have ended up staying at my parents house since the day he left. Which is bitter sweet situation. Being fairly newly married living at home is a very fresh memory. And yet in such a short amount of time it's so different.
The transformation from being single and living at home, to being a wife in a partnership where I'm being counted on has happened without me even realizing. It all happened so naturally I didn't really even notice! And I will tell you what, I wouldn't trade it for the world! I live our little life together and how much both of us have grown in such a short amount of time is amazing to me.
I can't wait for boy roberts to come to help our little family grow even more ;).
Three more weeks till I see my handsome husband!

our year in a nut shell
Looking back over the past year so many things have changed. I would never thought in a million years that this year at twenty years old I would be married and pregnant already. Its so amazing to me how things happened and how obviously there is such a greater plan then all of us realize.
Let me just give you a little history on Chris' and my past year together.
As a college student I worked many odd jobs, one of them started at the University Mall June of 2010. I sat at a kiosk selling odds and ends as the seasons changed. There's not much I could do for entertainment around there so I made friends with fellow kiosk mates and we would people watch. The biggest weirdos come to the mall.
One of our favorite to drool over was this cocky, but friendly UPS guy (Chris). Something about those brown shorts and long socks really got all the ladies goin. I myself would glance occasionally but didn't really want to feed into his ego. I'm telling you, Chris did not walk up and down the mall hallways, he would strut.
Over time Chris and I started heckling each other about our jobs. I would catch him dropping packages or sitting down taking breaks and make fun of him for it, even though my whole job consisted of sitting in a chair and eating. Slowly little ole me started getting a crush on the UPS guy. (I did not know his name at this point)
Our little secret flirting affair lasted a month or two before I wanted to do something about it. So I started fishing around a little bit for some information. My primary resource came from one of the girls that worked at my booth, Shae, She had worked around that kiosk in the mall for almost five years so I figured she probably knew the most about him.
I found out his name was Chris, he wasn't married, had never been married, and that he was a mall player. He loved the ladies at the mall. All that was just great with me, It wasn't like I was looking for anything serious either. The only question that was up in the air was how old he was. I got different answers from everyone I asked. The average was around 28. I wanted to know for sure so I made Shae ask him, his response was 30.
Being 19 at the time my first initial reaction was, "30? huh.... I could probably do that, at least I could get a free meal out of it."
So Shae kind of set it up. She told Chris there was a girl who was interested in him and that he should leave his number. So he did, on a UPS package delivery slip (which I still have in my wallet to this day). I waited a couple days before I text him. He wasn't even sure who exactly he had just given his number to so that was a fun little guessing game for him. But we arranged a date for that following Thursday (Feb 17 2011). Random week night day but hey, again I was just looking for a fun night out.
I met him at his house, He took me to Olive Garden (my fav) and then back to his house to watch a movie he had just bought. That was all fine and dandy, other then the fact that you could definitely tell he was a bachelor by his lack of any furniture. We laid on the floor leaning against a single man love sac. I'm a cuddly person so obviously we did. As the ending credits rolled I sat and asked him all kinds of questions to try to know a little more about him. Which was like pulling teeth, who knew he was such a private guy. And I tried really really really hard not to kiss him, but he was just too darn charming! (ya ya judge me on kissing him the first date) Over all I thought the date went pretty well, even though I was nervous going into it.
The only thing I was worried about still is that he had no idea how old I really was. And at that point I knew he was 30. We kept texting and hanging out for two weeks before I finally had the nerve to say something to him about it. I asked him if he knew how old I was and He said this "well I know your kinda younger, you are probably 23 or 24" hahaha....'great now what' is all I could think. He asked me the same question back and I said well, i did some homework I know your 30. He said well, actually I'm 34... and I replied well I'm actually 19.
He didn't seem too freaked out about it, he just asked me if the age difference bothered me and I said no. Gosh he didn't look or act 32, and I was still just having fun at this point. So we ignored it, other people could not, my mom freaked at first. So did my roommates. But I didn't care. I always would get the question "well whats wrong with him?" Nothing. as far as I could tell.
Things kind of snowballed from there, we would hang out every weekend without fail sometimes 3 or 4 times during the week.It was getting pretty serious, I never knew how serious until he introduced me as his girl friend at the end of April. I was ok with it :).
By the end of May we told each other "I love you" (outside in the rain mind you.) Right before he left for a month to Montana for some National Guard Training thing.
The first week of June I had the chance to meet his Mom and one of his sisters, Jennifer. They were traveling through Utah and stayed at his house. I fell in love with them right away.
The whole month Chris was gone (being a little dumb girl) I started looking at wedding stuff. Even though we hadn't officially talked about getting married. But when Chris got home, he took me ring shopping!...remember this was five months after our first date....
He also took me to a little family reunion at the end of July in Washington for a week to meet his whole family. So scary and so fun!
He proposed to me on the beach at sunset that week. And My mom and I put together a Beautiful wedding in 7 weeks.
We got married October 1, 2011. One of the happiest days of my life.
And then what do you know, we found out we were 6 weeks pregnant at the end of November. Many mixed emotions upon finding out. Obviously it wasn't planned, but i was so excited... Chris not so excited but still happy.
We just found out last month that we are having a handsome baby boy July of 2012. I couldn't be more excited to be a mommy. And I know Chris is so excited to be a daddy, now at least :)
Our crazy lives are just beginning, I can't believe how fast time has flown. I don't think things went too fast or too rushed, everything was just so perfect.
I couldn't ask for a better husband or provider, I know he loves me very much and I can't wait to see what other adventures life brings us.

23 Days.
twenty three days and I will officially be a Mrs. what a wonderful thing i can not wait for. At this moment I can't really tell if I'm excited to be married or more excited to be done with the whole wedding planning thing. who knew all the tiny but very important details that happen behind the scenes. Chris is still pretty much out of the loop. I tried to let him in the loop for one day and ever since then he hasn't even asked whats going on. to be honest, he hasn't even seen the engagement pictures yet and I got those back days ago.
Three weeks to go and things are finally getting the finishing details. I feel like I can focus more now on the little gestures with all the major road blocks out of the way. And hopefully at this point everything is solidified.

All I'm waiting for now are the days of things. Like the day i get my bridals taken :)
or the days of all the showers.
Luckily there hasn't been too many fires that I've had to put out. Some miscommunication, Some scheduling conflicts, and some jitters. But nothing too major. Knock On Wood.
I still can't wait to be a wifey, even though its becoming more real. Chris has started to not be able to do things by himself already. What happens to men when they get married, its like their brain shuts off and he hands the steering wheel to you. Not literally, Driving is still something that's "a mans job" according to "the mans law of the land". ridiculous right?
I think our biggest struggle with getting married is Chris letting go of the word "mine".
Yes it is technically his house. but just because i want to hang up some pictures, buy a couch and own more than one towel does not mean that I'm trying to change everything in his life. He has ALOT of adjusting to do. not that i don't, i just think its gonna be really rough for the both of us for a while. At least he is learning early :) he actually ASKED me ladies he could go play golf this week instead of his usual telling me he was going. Hopefully he keeps that one up!
more to come as the days pass by.
Three weeks to go and things are finally getting the finishing details. I feel like I can focus more now on the little gestures with all the major road blocks out of the way. And hopefully at this point everything is solidified.

All I'm waiting for now are the days of things. Like the day i get my bridals taken :)
or the days of all the showers.
Luckily there hasn't been too many fires that I've had to put out. Some miscommunication, Some scheduling conflicts, and some jitters. But nothing too major. Knock On Wood.
I still can't wait to be a wifey, even though its becoming more real. Chris has started to not be able to do things by himself already. What happens to men when they get married, its like their brain shuts off and he hands the steering wheel to you. Not literally, Driving is still something that's "a mans job" according to "the mans law of the land". ridiculous right?
I think our biggest struggle with getting married is Chris letting go of the word "mine".
Yes it is technically his house. but just because i want to hang up some pictures, buy a couch and own more than one towel does not mean that I'm trying to change everything in his life. He has ALOT of adjusting to do. not that i don't, i just think its gonna be really rough for the both of us for a while. At least he is learning early :) he actually ASKED me ladies he could go play golf this week instead of his usual telling me he was going. Hopefully he keeps that one up!
