Nearly Halfway

I know I haven't said much about the whole pregnancy thing that's going on with me so I suppose I will do a short post about it.

Let's see...

I'll be 19 weeks tomorrow, which is just about the halfway mark.

The first few months were filled with a hyperactive nose, extreme exhaustion, food aversions, and barfing. Oh and a lot of hiding from our friends and family. So, a pretty typical pregnancy I guess.

Mid December I was feeling much better, but my appetite sure picked up! I've already gained 10 lbs and my pants are quite uncomfortable to wear. Luckily my dear mother bought me a BeBand so I can keep wearing my regular pants a little longer.

My ultrasound appointment is set for Monday January 31st to find out the "flavor" our little one will be. I'm pretty sure the future grandparents are more anxious to find out than us. I'm not particular on the gender and supposedly Tyler isn't either, (though by the way he talks I think he's secretly hoping for a girl...)

Here's my only complaint about having a girl. Pink. Pink everything. I am certainly not a pink kinda girl. I admit I have looked through the entire Pottery Barn Kids website for adorable things I can't afford. They do have very cute girl things and the pinks are in just the right shade and amount...





Oh boy...so cute.


I looove the white furniture. So bright and happy!

The Holidays

We stayed in Rexburg with Tyler's family for Christmas day this year. It was nice to switch it up a little since we've spent the last two with my folks. The day after though, we headed up to Spokane for the rest of the break. The day after we got there a bunch of us went skiing/snowboarding. Yes, I went snowboarding pregnant. *gasp* Don't worry, I took it easy and it was really fun.

Here is the whole crew...

We finally got to meet this little lady...(My sister had her third child over the summer and this is the first time Tyler and I saw her. She's such a cutie!)

We also had fun with her other two kids...

And this was a good workout activity...

Of course we spent a lot of time playing games like this...

And when almost everyone had headed back to their "homes", Tyler and I stayed at a resort on Coeur d' Alene Lake for a night. This was the view from our balcony...

We learned after we got there that tons of eagles migrate down from Canada to Coeur d' Alene every winter so they were flying around all over the place. I watched for them out our window for like an hour!


Well, that pretty much sums up our holidays!

Best Christmas Present I Ever Gave

All wrapped up in deceivingly large boxes, this is what we gave our parents for Christmas this year....





















They were excited to say the least ;)
