Anniversary Weekend

This last weekend Adam & I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary. Wahoo! to stick with tradition we took the long memorial day weekend as a mini vacation up to the Sun Mountain Lodge just outside Winthrop, Wa. It was great! we were out in the middle of nowhere washington at a fantastic resort. as tradition also dictates the first few hours there were spent napping which is officially my favorite thing to do, followed closely by eating.

On Saturday we explored the town of Winthrop a bit. we ate breakfast at a place called the Duck Brand, which came highly recommend by our friends Chris & Melanie. the great thing was I got 2 giant blueberry pancakes for $4. you cant beat that. I thought I was full after that but then we say the sweet shop and they had just pulled fresh cinnamon rolls out of the oven so I had to get one of those as well. so good!! luckily after all of this eating we went on a hike around the resort which was very pretty. at the end of the trail we were on there were a couple young deer that I did not want to mess with so we waited a few minutes to pass until they moved on. You never know if there are angry deer so I did not want to chance it. The highlight of the day was our anniversary spa treatments. 3 hours in a spa will do wonders for anybody! I would be happy to do that again right now!

On Sunday we went on a Cowboy Dinner. We saddled up some horses at the stables and then followed in a line to an old homestead that is on the resort property where they had a surprising delicious BBQ dinner ready for use. The highlight was the baked beans, so good. turns out it is a secret recipe of on of the cowboys and it is very well protected. Adam's horse was Herbie and he was bothering my horse Dot. Herbie kept on getting into Dots business,if you know what I mean, and Dot was not having any of it. So Dot and I had to have some words with the boys. But over all this was a great why to end our weekend the weather was great and on the way back to the stables there was a great little rainbow in the distance. to make it all the better the minute we got back to our room there was a big rain storm that lasted the rest of the night. All in all is was a great relaxing weekend.

Baby Update: I am 12 weeks along now closing in on the Second Trimester and nothing has really changed other than some of my pants don't fit unless I have the top button undone. So if you see me walking around pulling up my pants that is why :-) I have also increased my love of elastic waist pants, namely my workout pants or pajamas. When I feel I have to wear those all the time in public I know that it is time to go to the maternity store and get some real pants.

according to different sources the baby is about the size of a lime or an egg now. I swear I feel some kicking around in there every once in awhile but everything I have ready says that it is a little early for that. It might just be gas:-) I think I might be one of the lucky few who do not get morning sickness (score!) The biggest things to come up so far is revisiting puberty with pimples. Everyday a new little vistor on my face. I am a grown women for goodness sake! but that seems to be clearing up. I also get more headaches than I have ever gotten which sucks but nothing that I can work through at the moment.

We have our next Doc appt in a couple weeks so hopefully we will have some fun information.

Big News!

This is my first attempt a blogging so just go with me on this! Well, if you are at this site then you have probably received the news that we are expecting a new addition to our family. We are so excited and thrilled at the prospect of having a little someone running around our house that we can hardly wait until December. So if you don't know here are all the vital details:

As of today I am 10 weeks into this 40 week process. it has gone by surprisingly fast and slow at the same time, it is very strange. No real horrible pregnancy side effects. Actually I am tired all the time but that has turned into a blessing in disguise, I can fall asleep pretty much anywhere I want now! before it would take me about 45 mins to fall asleep now I am out before I hit the pillow. Does not really help when I am at work but if you angle yourself right nobody knows that you have dozed off. you just look very involved in the worksheet you are looking at. very busy, cant be disturbed.

There is only 1 baby!!! Wahoo!!! both Adam and I have twins that run in our families and were really not excited about the prospect of having both of our planned children at the same time. and neither was my waistline!

we had our first ultrasound on Friday and that was amazing! I have been in a mild state of denial for the past month or so because I have not had any terrible symptoms of early pregnancy yet so I kept thinking the 5 home pregnancy tests and the 1 I made the nurse give me at the doctors office were all faulty and someone was going to tell me that it was all a joke. But then on that little screen was a little head with two arms and two legs floating around and I figured that the ultrasound machine could not be faulty as well. the doc seemed pretty sure I was pregnant so I guess it is true. I think we might have a showmen on our hands because when he was on screen he did a little dance and waved so he likes to have the attention already.

Yes, we will find out if it is a boy or a girl, but we won't know until the end of July. there will be some serious decorating going on after that so if your free come on up.

And finally the big one, we will have a baby by Christmas. Currently the due date is 12/12/08. If I don't have a baby by Christmas there will be one uncomfortable, angry mommy on Adam's hands so do feel sorry for him later. Most important thing is I still get a full Seahawks season in and they have really cute baby onesies at the pro shop.

Anyhoo, that is all I have for right now. I will try to keep everyone up to date on any additional news but for right now I am going to go take another nap!
