The crazy life of a pregnant teacher

Yup... we're still kickin. It has just been a couple of super crazy weeks with non-stop fun, craziness, and preparation for when our little one comes. The count down is on with only 5.5 weeks left!!! Here are some of the things that have been demanding our time.

The Jazz game

We went to a Jazz game! It was so much fun, even if we were in the last seats in the last row almost beyond the nose bleed section. It was a pretty sweet game going into over time, and yes my team won ha ha. Jason was cheering for the Jazz and I was all about the Celtics. Even though I'm not the biggest sports fan, going to games with Jason is always so fun!

We learned what it's like to take an almost 9 month pregnant lady on a road trips... We only went to Idaho Falls (180 miles), but 3 hours in the car and we had to stop about 3 times just for me to pee. It was pretty awesome :) The reason we drove all the way there... my friend Taresa got married!!! The wedding was so much fun, and she looked absolutely beautiful! We were busy all day with the temple sealing in the morning, a ring ceremony afterward, and a super fun reception with delicious food! We really enjoyed ourselves, and it was wonderful to catch up with a good friend after a really long time. 

Me with the lovely couple... yes I am very large...

After the wedding we were able to make a trip out to our old stomping grounds. Jason and I actually met in Rexburg, and so it was so fun to reminisce and have fun with my little sister who lives there now. We ended up visiting some friends who had a baby girl the day before (she was so cute!!!) and took Kira and Kyra out for dinner (yes it gets pretty fun hanging out with 2 girls with the same name). After our bellies were full, we even learned how to play a new card and then made the trek back to our hotel room to catch some much needed sleep. That was cut short however to rescue our little puppy bandit from the cold outside. We ended up getting home around 10 am the next day!

This last week has been totally crazy! Jason has been super busy at work hiring an incredible amount of people, and I have been freaking out with only having a few weeks left to get ready for a long term sub. Amazingly we some how fit some time to set up a swing in Carter's room. It's continuing to look more like we'll be having a baby. 

Carter's swing is ready for him now :)

Setting up the swing

Getting to work at 7 am and leaving at 6 pm seems like it hasn't even helped. I didn't realize how hard it really is going to be to leave my cute little 3rd graders. I just hope that they are in good hands, and that I can be prepared enough to make sure that the sub is in good hands as well. Wish me luck, only 4 weeks left of teaching!

This Saturday was a much needed sister day. I got to spend time with my older sister Siehara and had a good time with her. She is incredible and planning pretty much the most amazing baby shower I have ever heard of too!! I love having sisters! They are pretty much the best things ever, especially when we are able to live so close to each other. So... if you happen to be in Roy UT in a couple of weeks, make sure to stop by! 

Well, that's just a quick update. I'll try to be better with keeping you updated with things... until then, have a fantastic week!!

Precious Moments

Wow! It has been a couple of awesome weekends I must say. Jason and I have been so blessed and we just love getting ready to be parents. I am getting a little anxious for a little guy to get here. Only 8 weeks LEFT!!

Anyways, to tell you about our awesome weekends... Last weekend couldn't have been more perfect. It was amazing to wake up at no time in particular, to be in no place in particular, just enjoying our home and watching my crazy belly move with our active little boy. It was so cute to see Jason get so excited at every movement, and realize that this will be our very first of everything! Our very first little baby kicks, our very first little boy, our very first experience as parents and our very first with everything of the excitement of being parents (if that makes sense)! It is so important to enjoy every single little precious moment that we are given here on earth!

Our Saturday was wonderfully relaxing, and Jason did end up having to work for a little bit, but it was amazing! I actually went and got my hair all chopped off, cleaned like crazy, and had time for a nap. When Jason got home, we decided we needed some ice cream and family to share it with. Even though, it was snowing like crazy, was probably about 7pm when we left our house, we saw tons of accidents and almost got into one, it was so worth it! We went to see my sister and her husband and grabbed some Leatherby's (which is an amazing ice cream place!). We ended up having to crash at their place too (because of the bad roads), so we had more family time... I LOVED IT!

This weekend was pretty spectacular as well, but not quite as relaxing... It kind of actually started on Valentine's Day, the anniversary of making the best decision of our lives... to get married. It marked the day my handsome Jason got down on one knee and asked me to be his forever! So... of course we had to celebrate, and my amazing husband cooked me the most delicious romantic dinner of all time! I helped a little with the surprise of JAZZ tickets....

Friday we had a doctors appointment and got to enjoy seeing our little one again. We are so excited, because although I have not gained a single ounce since last time, Carter is 3 pounds 9 ounces!! He is getting so big and right on track! Our doctor didn't tell me I need to be eating more!! Ha ha. Right after, we had the wonderful surprise of our best friends coming to visit with their little girl. We made dinner together, played some games, and enjoyed having our wonderful friends with us. It was great. Only thing I would change... Jason having to work at 7am on Saturday.

Saturday Jason dropped me off at my sister's house at 6:30 am, where I crashed on the couch and had an entire day filled with sisterly awesomeness. Both of my sisters were here and we were hung out pretty much all day. Jason then kidnapped me for a dinner at The Cheesecake Factory, a baby registry and an adventure with message chairs. It was a pretty magical and very late night :) We were both not very happy when we woke up with sore throats and a really bad cough. That didn't stop us though, because right after church we headed down to Orem for another family dinner. We ate a delicious stew, played some games, and the boys went on a crazy adventure to the frozen Utah lake.

The amazing dinner Jason made for me!

Our dinner date at home on Valentine's Day!

Again we were home later than midnight, Jason had to work at 6 am, and I am stuck at home being sick with my little sister. Thank goodness for President's Day though... I don't think I could have survived at school today.... That has been our life. Now... time for a nap!! :)
