Wow! It's been awhile!

Sorry it has been so long!
Holiday Update
The holidays and everything else kept me away. Christmas was very fun! We spent Christmas with my family and had a great time. I didn't get much of a break though, work is so busy during that time of year. My brother Tate came in town from Kansas and we spent a lot of time playing games with him and family. Tony and I tried to limit the gifts to each other this year, just to save some money. We said no gifts, but I can't do that. So I bought him a cool cardigan at Banana Republic (It was on sale :) I hid it so he wouldn't know I broke our deal. I pulled it out on Christmas and he was all surprised! He really liked it so I was happy. He really surprised me though when he pulled something out he wanted to surprise me with! I really didn't want or thought he would get me anything. He got me a Nintendo DS! I randomly wanted one haha! I know I know I'm a little 13 year old asking for a DS. They are pretty fun though and I have this game called brain age that helps keep your brain on it's toes :) I also got mariokart, which Tony has played WAY more then me lol. The holidays were great.

Preggo Update
I posted a pregnant pic just because I always want to see how people look when they are pregnant and it seems that none of them ever wanted to get their pic taken. Well now I know why! I feel like a fat cow! The last thing I want is a pic to remember how fat I am haha! I am almost 27 weeks along and I already think pregnancy last to long. I know what you are thinking good luck in the next three months! I can already tell they are going to drag by way to slow :( I still have not purchased any maternity clothes and I think I'm going to be forced to very soon. At my last Dr. appt my Dr. looked at my pants (which are held together with a hair elastic!) and said " I don't think you will be able to pull that off for much longer!" I know, but I don't want to buy maternity pants!! My belly button is still a inny!! Yay!! It keeps getting more and more shallow though :( I have a crib already! I found a really cute one that was on sale and I had a coupon on top of the sale, so I went ahead and got it. (Thanks to my in laws who bought it for us!!) It is all set up in our second bedroom, it's kind of weird to see it. I still can not picture myself with a baby! I feel like I'm just playing house or something. I think I'm going to have a HUGE reality check when I can actually hold him!!! SO WEIRD!! Hopefully I don't freak out. I do have a question? How does bath time work? Do I bathe him in the sink? Do I buy a bath bed thingy? Our tub is pretty deep so I think that could be kind of hard to bath him in at first. What did you do? We still have not setteled on a name. We used to battle on names, now we just don't really talk about it cause we get to mad! lol! We are crack heads :) We will figure it out eventually I guess. Well sorry it has been awhile, but please leave comments with any advise you wish you had before you had kids! I'm sure I will need it! Especially breastfeeding, I'm very curious how that all works :) Thanks for being so helpful! Love you all!

Hello, Cupcake!

My Mother-n-law gave me this book while she was visiting just before Thanksgiving. The cutest and most creative cupcake ideas are in this book!! You won't believe some of the things they came up with, like spaghetti cupcakes or corn on the cob cupcakes! There are some really adorable ideas that would be so cute for a little boys birthday party!! I'm so excited to try some out. You gotta get this book! So CUTE!! Thanks Judi!!

Baby update!

Today I went in for my Dr. ultrasound. Still a boy! (haha) He is getting so much bigger! I can't believe it. The pics from the first ultrasound, that my mom and I went to in the mall, he looked so little. These pics he looked more like a real baby. I'm almost 20 wks. (yay! half way) and the Dr. said I should be feeling him soon. The ultrasound did show that my placenta is on top of the baby and that may be why I still have not felt anything, with the placenta working as a absorber. He was moving so much though! He was kicking his feet and swinging his little arms. The Tech told me that there is a lot of fluid so he will be moving a lot. She also said that I'm exactly to the day for my due date, which is April 24th. It was so fun to get to see him!
I am still looking for maternity pants! ah! help! I have checked Gap & Target. The fit is just horrible! The crotch is always way long and looks stupid :( Where should I look? I tempted to just get some of the designer maternity jeans. I also need some black pants for work though. Any suggestions??

Christmas Card Pics

So my friend Jessie took some pics of Tony and I for are Christmas card. They turned out so cute and I'm excited for you to see them! For some reason the disc won't work on my computer so when I get that figured out I will post some. I also need your addresses if you would like a Foscarini Christmas card. So please send your address to my email, christin.feller@gmail.com. Thanks!

Cookie swap update

So the cookie swap will be happening on Dec. 13th probably in the evening (but let me know what works best for you) The idea is you bring a plate of your favorite holiday/anytime cookies along with the recipe to give to everyone attending. I think it will be a lot of fun! So please let me know if you would like to attend. The more the better :) Husbands and kids invited of course. Please let me know as soon as you can so I can have a count. Thanks! Hope you can make it.

Hungry? YES!

So I think this explains exactly how I have been feeling lately! HUNGRY! I'm always thirsty and all I want is Milk, milk, milk! I have been craving Olive Garden's soup, salad and bread sticks! (bthw American fork has a O G now and it's way better then Provo's) I have tried to stay healthy though, if I get a sweet tooth I allow myself a few jelly belly's. I read in one of my pregnancy books that in the second trimester you will gain 12-14 lbs! Is that true?! That is a lot!! I guess if I keep staying this hungry it could happen, but that scares me! I'm already at the biggest weight I have ever been. Oh and I also have a question about the garment situation. My bottoms are getting tight in the waist, do I just buy a bigger size or what? And how much bigger, one size?? So confused! Help :)

Picture Time!

Tony and I are going to get some pictures taken. We are not very good at taking pics ourselves, so the only ones we really have are from our wedding. I wanted something new and current for our Christmas card, and also some before we have the baby. My friend Jessie is a photographer and does great work, so I hired her to help us with our problem. She will have a lot to work with, I'm at the stage where I just look fat not pregnant! Not a cute look :( I'm sure she will do great and I'm really excited! If you need a photographer she is also on my blog roll. (I'm lucky to have talented friends) I will post the pics when we get them :)
