Its Official

Well y'all it has finally become official. My eggo is preggo! Yup that is right, we have a little one on the way that should be here about December 9, 2010! What a perfect Christmas/Thanksgiving/Drew's Graduation present ever! It is going to be a busy busy year but we are so excited for this new adventure in our lives! Everything has been great so far! I have nothing to complain about, other than I am hungry ALL THE TIME! I am so grateful that I have not had any morning sickness or sickness at all. Other than when I do not eat! And I pray it stays that way. We were able to tell our mothers in person with an early Mothers Day Card that I made a couple of days ago. My mom flew out to help me get my house together (drapes, pillows, paint, etc) It was so perfect! Neither my mom or Drew's mom even suspected it! Their reactions were priceless! My mom cried, Marsha just looked shocked. But it was a perfect evening and the cards turned out great!
It still has not really set in yet, I think once I get fat I may have a change of emotions about it. But in the mean time, I hope that the weight will hold of for as long as possible!
I know that it is too early to tell, but I am dying to know the gender! The Chinese calendar says we are having a boy, and I did the whole Drano crystals thing and it turned out green, which means its a girl. I am hoping it is a little girl, who doesn't, but either way it will be so much fun! So as always, we will just have to play the waiting game. Has anyone had experience with the Chinese calendar, if so was it right? I have googled it to see if it has worked for some people. But it is a 50-50% chance, so the odds are pretty high... I guess.
Well I am so excited! My mom came out here to help me with my family room and ended up helping me with not only my family room but we started working on the nursery too! I am so excited to get everything ready. I love being prepared, so knowing me I will have everything set up months before the baby even comes!

8 weeks down, another 30 some odd weeks left! Seems like forever!

moving!!!

Well for those of you who do not know Drew and I own a house in Roy, Utah that is a duplex. We currently live in the one bedroom basement apartment and we have renters that live upstairs. I am not going to lie I really hate having to deal with renters, I would not suggest to any one to buy a duplex. Going to school, working, and trying to deal with renters that are a pain in the butt can be just a tad stressful! So after owning the house and living in the basement for 3 years now, we have finally decided we are going to move upstairs! I know it is not that big of a move, but you have no idea now excited I am to have room for all of our stuff! My poor couch (we have only been using the love seat) is still sitting in storage since we got it 3 years ago, collecting dust and who knows what else!? Now we will have an office/spare bedroom and then eventually a nursery! Plus I will have to get use to a normal sized kitchen, not closet for a kitchen, which should not be hard! I just hope and pray that the renters do not give us crap and move out by the end of the 30 days.

My "Momma Jean" is flying out at the end of the month. I am so excited! I am hoping that we will be able to move some stuff up stairs when she gets out here and she can help me paint and rip down tacky wall paper. She has gotten to be so Martha, not that she has ever stopped, when it comes to decorating. She is obsessed with watching he HGTV design shows and trying to modernize her house. She has gotten pretty good at sanding and staining furniture, so I am going to put her to work when she gets out here. I bought a glider rocking chair I bought off KSL ( kind of like craigs list but just for Utah) for $30 that is in great condition, I just want to sand it down and stain it a darker color and reupholster the pads to a little more modern and not 90's mauve! Plus I got a free oak table I need sanded and stained because it has a few nicks and dings in it. And we got a free chase lounge that we are going to make a slip cover for. And a few other pieces that need a little paint too. I am telling you, I am going to keep her busy! We just need to hurry up and move upstairs already so I have a place to put all of this, instead of my garage and shed!
Plus Mothers day is coming up soon and I know I am not a mother, but I am so excited for it!!!
And most important WARM WEATHER!!!!! Oh I am so ready for it!
Well until next time, maybe I will have a little more exciting news, not just moving upstairs!
