14 weeks and growing..

I had no idea what to even title this post, so I decided I am just going to write it and then see what I end up putting! So I am now 14 weeks pregnant and things are starting to look up! I had started to feel better, but still having some bad days. Mostly it has been happening at nights, but luckily I have no vomiting, except sometimes I just wish I would. We are so excited, and cant wait to finally have our precious child in our arms. So I have been getting a little bigger and been wearing one pair of pants that actually fit. They are starting to get very tight and so I decided just to wear a pair of maternity pants yesterday and of course Zack had to make fun of them for a little while, but I just told him how comfortable I actually was! I could sit and not feel like my stomach was going to explode. The only problem is that it makes me show a lot more then it does when I wear normal pants.  Here is a pic I took with me in my maternity pants, and I dont mind that there my belly is showing its just I barely got a new job and obviously have not said I was pregnant.

I got a job at a local daycare here and finally decided to take it. I have gotten 5 different job offers and decided to turn all of them down. This one finally stuck, and we will see how it goes. I had to get my childcare license today and i start on Tuesday. It will just be from 3-6 Monday-Friday, and I can pick up hours if I want, but school as been kicking my butt. So I just hope I can keep up.

Back to the pregnancy. I have been super emotional lately and just really hope it goes away soon. I feel like I get upset super easily and cry all day long. I just dont know what has been going on, but it has made me feel just lousy. Right now, Zack is working while I am home and just got done with all my homework for the week. And I just feel like putting on my comfy clothes and laying on the couch. I really hope this phase goes away though, like I said, because I dont know how much more Zack can take. He has been very supportive and trying to understand my every emotion but I think its impossible because I barely can tell you what is wrong half of the time.

Another note, We were talking about the sex of the baby last night and he was looking at my tummy and saying "I love you" to it, and its so cute! Well anyways, Zack has been saying that Estella is its name if its a girl, and I HATE it. He has joked with me since we met, or at least I thought it was a joke, and everytime he talks to my stomach he never says a boy name. He always says Estella, and I know Zack said he would love a boy, but I think he knows in his heart that its a girl. And he told me we shouldnt find out what the sex is. I of course said, well I will find out and wont tell him, and he said no no no you cant know either. I am hoping in a few weeks when we find out he will change his mind because I dont think I could go another 5-6 months without knowing.

But I am so proud that I have such a caring husband who is just as excited as I am to have a baby. You can tell that he is so happy and wants the best for our family.

Precious

So I feel as if I have been waiting forever to write this. I have not written on our blog in a few weeks basically because I have been really busy and was just waiting ...................

for this.

YAY! So we went to the doctors this morning and found that I am almost 13 weeks pregnant and will be having this wonderful child at the end of November!! We seriously could not be more excited and are so happy that we are finally going to be parents. I have my next appointment June 14th and just had some routine things done. Nothing to really report. All I can say is that it is growing very nice and healthy and likes to sleep lots. The person doing the ultrasound had to wake it up a few times to get some good measurements for some things. But when it was awake, its little feet and hands were all over the place. It also would put its little hands on its face constantly and was just like, mom leave me alone :). We hope that it likes to sleep this way when it comes out...ugh..I hate calling it and IT. I have been calling it a He all day, basically because I hate not giving it a gender, but decided I cant do it anymore because its not fair :). But I am soooooo in love. Honestly, I had the best day after going in today and feel like there is nothing that can bring me down. 

Zack is going to be the most wonderful father in the world to our children. I know because of how sweet and thoughtful he is to me. He will be amazing and love to spoil and love our children. He will be the favorite, I just know it:). But its all good with me because he deserves it because he is my favorite.

In other news, I am still doing school and working. Zack finished up his semester and did very well. He is also working. We are happy summer is here and it will be a little more relaxing. We hope to be able to visit family and do some fun things before the baby comes.

Lately

I just feel so blessed lately! I just wanted to get on here and write a little note.

First of all, my darling husband is too sweet!

I have been having quite a tummy ache and zachary will ask me if there is anything he can get for me. And if there is something I want like water, or crackers, or whatever else to settle my stomach, he will instantly get out and grab it for me. And then ask me a little while later how I am feeling then. He has been so great! I hate when he goes to work because I feel so helpless ha. I actually have to get up myself to get things that I need.

Secondly,

I have not wanted to clean or do anything. I just have been wanting to relax when I am not working or doing school, and he has been doing very very well with cleaning up. He will get up and do dishes without me even having to ask him to do it. He has just been so amazing!

 He has just been treating me like his little princess and it is so precious.  I love it and I love him. I will really have to start doing some more nice things for him soon because he deserves it!

As an update, Zachary is almost done with school. Still doing well, but he is ready for it to be over! He is also still working and we get to do date night once a week.

I have still been working, and school has really started and I am already stressed. I really dont know how I am going to do all online school. I feel so overwhelmed because my day is so routine now, I dont really get anytime just to relax. If I am home, I am doing school, and if i leave its pretty much to go to work and that is it.

Not going to lie, I am getting really sick of it...

Little about today!

I just want to post a little bit about today! I am in a great mood and me and zachary just had a great day! He didnt have to work, and i did, but it doesnt matter because we got to go out to dinner after :) So we were able to relax this morning and then go out to dinner at night. I love being able to go out and just talk and discuss our future and things that are going on in our lives. I am so in love with him, and I couldnt be more happy! Since we have been back from NJ, we have just been getting our lives back on track. Zack has been back in school and working. And I have also been working and start school in a week! It is such a stressful time, and I am semi looking forward to it. It will really be hard going to work everyday and also taking 14 ONLINE credits. I cant believe I am doing this again, but if I do this for three semesters in a row I will graduate! So I just keep thinking of the end result. I had to change my major to just an online program and that is why I still have 3 more semesters, but its our only logical option right now. It will all work out in the end I am sure. Zack is still doing amazing in school and I really think he is looking forward to the end. He only has a few more weeks and then he will get a well deserved break.

I wish I had more to report on. But I just wanted to get on here and just say how grateful I am for both of our families and the support they give to us. We wouldnt be able to do what we do with them! And of course my wonderful husband, I couldnt keep sane without him.

What a getaway!

So, I havent updated in a few weeks but I feel as if i have a great excuse! So first off, we have been busy with work and school and such, but then we took a visit to New Jersey to see my family because Kelsey got baptized! I was so excited to be able to be there for that wonderful experience. I cant believe she is already 8 years old! She is seriously my best friend and I cant get enough of that little girl. So we left March 24, which was the day after my brother seans 16th birthday, (dating time?! ) Anyways, we got there very late at night and Kelsey and my mom came to the airport and the next day we just kind of hung out. There is nothing I ever really want to do while I am there. The only thing I want to do is eat some of the amazing food I cant get out here in Idaho. So that is always my goal when i go, to eat as much as i possibly can because i never know when i will be able to again. We did some very fun things this week. We went to a chili cookoff at my parents ward, had a brunch at my grandparents house because we were not able to there for christmas. We then of course had kelsey baptism and then hung out the rest of the week! Again, we ate lots of food, was able to go shopping, and just be together! I have been waiting to find my camera usb because I wanted to post pictures when writing this. So of course I am going to add some pictures of our wonderful trip.

Derek got kelsey and sean boise state shirts for birthday! i have no idea how to rotate this picture. if you want to tell me how great!!

lastly, derek how has been with us for two months is now going to rexburg on friday! It is great that he is getting back to school. We were going to be driving him but now we cant because zack couldnt get off work because he just took off the week before!

I also want to mention grateful I am for some of the things in my life right now!!! I have a wonderful husband and family who support me and things are really starting to look up in life :)

Just a little note

There has been not many too exciting things happening in our life lately! Derek is still here, and will be leaving for school in April. Zack has been still getting up for school and doing an amazing job at it! He then gets home, and works on homework and stuff, while i am at school. And then he works nights! Our life feels so routine, and sometimes its a little frustrating, but hopefully one day it will be a little different. At least we still get to do date night every week and its a good night to just go out and be together for a little without worrying about anything else. Im thankful for my job, and we have really come to realize how grateful we are of each other. We are both willing to work and help out the family because we are able to. Even though we are both in school, and dont get to spend as much time as some other people together, we have come to the conclusion, that one day it will all change, and those that dont work or go to school or take care of beautiful children are lazy :). Sorry for that last little vent! But sometimes when you work so hard for everything, and others things are just handed to them is a little frustrating. At least one day we will not let our children be around people who take advantage of others and sit all day and do nothing :).

Anyways,

Some good news! Next week we are going to NJ to see Kelsey get baptized! I am soo excited to go and thankful we are able to:) I will hopefully post pictures when i get back. Till then we are still loving our new apartment, and each other !

Woohoo!

So far so good! I think so. I have been writing, and the reason i havent the past few days is because we have been moving and had no internet! So on Monday we moved to a new apartment. Zack had school that morning and so it was me and my brother mostly packing up and then we got some help later in the day. Thanks to everyone to helped out! You made the move very easy and we are all moved in for the most part. We love this new apartment for a few reasons. We are a lot closer to everything. Zack is super close to school and work which in nice because he leaves so early. And we are close to everything around like food and shopping. Not like we can do much of that anyways, but its been really nice and fun. Its cozy and we didnt buy cable, but is good because we have been doing a lot more activities which i am thankful for. We have been playing raquetball a lot and i think i am getting pretty good. Not like zack of course, because he is just so good at everything, and i could never compare ;).

I have also been able to get a lot of school done. Zack and Derek are at work tonight, which means i get to spend time doing homework and cleaning, and BLOGGING! see now i can tell you everything about my life because i will have all the time in the world.

Im so thankful for so much in my life. I have a great husband who is my world. We have fun adventures together and i love him to death :). I also have a great family who is always there to talk and help me with whatever i need.

In 3 weeks me and zack get to go to NJ to visit to see kelsey get baptized! I am soooo excited and have been counting down the days basically. I am really looking forward to it because i feel like i really need a vacation
