It's been a while...

So I haven't updated my blog in a long time. I think I had a good excuse though. We are expecting our first baby and I spent the first 20 weeks experiencing "all day" sickness. I wish is would have only been morning sickness :)

I am feeling much better and am actually starting to enjoy being pregnant. I was in Utah last week as my nephew Matt returned home from his mission in Japan. It was so good to see him and all the family that was gathered. We had a great time! My sisters threw a shower for me while I was out there. I had to take an extra suit case there just to get all the gifts home. Luckily everything fit in the suitcases to bring them home. It was so good to see all my friends and family that came. I sure do miss you all. Also, that weekend we were so busy running around, I had my first round of swelling in the feet/ankles. It is not pretty! I would take a picture, but my camera broke. Lucky you!

While I was in Utah I was also able to go to my neice's birthday Party. Happy birthday Ayzha! It was fun to see Ben and Angie before they go back to Mexico City, where they just moved to. It was great to see Karen too! I wish we lived closer to you. :)

The baby is doing great. He's going to be big! We are almost 24 weeks now and I have been feeling him move now for quite a while, but today I was laying in bed not wanting to get up and he was doing somersaults in my stomach. It is a very weird feeling, but I love it. It definitely makes it more real. We are due Sept. 8th, but it wouldn't surprise me if he came sometime that first week of September. I'm hopeful anyways! We also starting a birthing class. It was pretty amazing to see the scientific part of the baby's birth. This week we got to practice with the relaxation techniques as well as breathing. I'm in for it though, because I can't look at Brian trying to breathe with me without laughing. All in all, were trying to get ready for what lies ahead.
