Baby Gender?

So last Monday, April 23rd, I had a doctors appointment and they checked for me to see what i am having. It all happened so fast. They put the baby on the screen and I saw its little body and thought oh it looks like a.... you have watch the viedo to see:). And sure enough they doc started looking around and we saw it was a....? I was 16 weeks and 5 days at the time. The baby was moving lots and looked so cute. He was moving his hands lots. He keeps his hands up by his face. I am not feeling much different just not sleeping 100% b/c I keep waking up in the middle of the night on my back and the doctor told me not to so I have to turn over. I feel like I am turning from side to side all night long.

Today I had another appointment with the ultrasound tech to measure the baby. She gets in there and looks around for a while measuring a bunch of stuff and then she let Norris and Janet come in and we all got to see the baby. The best part was the baby was opening and closing its month all slow. It wasn't moving to much cause it was sleeping. I had just eat like 30 mins before and I sure he was all full and satisfied. Its amazing to see this little thing in me and not even feel it. I am sure it will be very soon though.

This video is from the doctors apt on April 23.

 Cheesy smile...I know

 Cute baby 

 His feet are criss-cross:)

 Norris said he has my nose. 

Definatly a boy!

Trip To St. George!

So this past weekend we went to St. George to hike Zion's and for Easter with my family. We got up early and hiked Angles Landing. It's a 5 mile hike round trip. Its goes straight up and then back down. It has chains at the top b/c of the cliffs. Its was fun but challanging at the same time. My dad, older brother (Duran), cousin (Thadeus), next door neighbors (Hannah & Steve), and Norris and I all went. After our hike we got back showerd and went to my Aunts for dinner. We eat some hamburgers and yummy food. We played some card, ping-pong, and told jokes. Sunday was Easter and we went to church which was great came home and played more cards until lunch. We had lots of people over and enjoyed our meal. After my grandma had an easter egg hunt for us and a raw easter egg toss. It was so much fun. I love how festive and kind my grandparents are. We enjoyed are mini little vacation. Back to work and packing this week. I only have 5 more days left of work and that is excited. I will be 15 weeks tomorrow and I feel bigger. My pants are getting tight around my waist and its getting a little uncomfortable but some pants are ok.

Week 14

So I am 14 weeks today and somethings that are changing are my bellybutton looks different b/c its starting to be stretched out. It looks a lot more wide and I can see the bottom of it. I noticed yesterday and I hope it goes back to normal after the baby is born b/c I like the way my bellybutton looked:) haha I do not feel as tired anymore. I remember coming home from work almost everyday and needing a nap before I went off to my other job. My chest is getting a little bigger but only I would be able to notice (well norris too:)) I do not have as many weird sharp stabbing aches in my lower abdomen as much. My liver still hurts after eating, mainly after eating dinner, for some reason. My pants are starting to get tight around the waist. They still fit but I have to unbutton some of my pants after I eat a big meal. I also get really sore from working out like all over my body. Its not to bad but I can tell my body has a harder time replenishing that muscle. I seriously can not wait till I can feel this baby move. I hope its soon. I know I have another month or so but maybe I will be able to feel it early:)

BABY & MOVING

So the computer is being dumb so just click on the picture or the underlind text, and it will pull up the image on a different page. Sorry i dont know whats wrong with it.

Yes we are having a baby:) I am 13 weeks tomorrow. We are more then excited. We went to the doctors last week and got a cute little picture of our baby. Our baby is due the very beginning of October. I have not thrown up or been very nausea's, which i am so grateful for because i hate throwing up like most people do and I have a very active job. Heavenly Father really has blessed us this year. I do not really have any food aversions. I get picky about food sometimes but I am almost always about to eat whatever. My senses have magnified. I will either LOVED to be smothered or HATE to be smothered. Its one way or the other, nothing in between. I do get very tired around 9 pm, like every night. This might have to do with getting up at 6 am every morning for work. I do have some liver problems that act up every week or so but its not bad. After I eat sometimes my liver will start to burn, its high up in my ribcage on the right side.

So many changes are about to happen and we are really excited and i am nervous as well. We are moving April 21st. That's less then a month away. We have been selling most of our stuff b/c we are not going to need it when we move to Cali. Its been a bit of an emotion week. I think i have been emotional about selling our stuff b/c i deep down know that we will be moving before we know it. I am really excited to move back home to be with family but i do get nervous about CHANGE! I am so comfortable with our way of life here. I love our ward, our apartment, our friends, the atmosphere, my calling, my job is pretty sweet too:) But it will be so fun to move home and also have its own set of challenges just like when we first moved to Utah 4 years ago.

At work yesterday i got to go on a hike with the group and it was fun. I am glad i am able to stay active with my work

Really Fast

I haven't written in a while but we are doing just fine. I am working a lot with my 2 jobs and Norris is busy as well with his 2 jobs and school. We are hanging out with our friends as much as possible before we leave in about a month and a half. I am excited to walk in April and have a celebration. Its going to be so fun and exciting b/c shortly after we will move back home to Cali.

I really like my job at the weight loss camp. It is very active and fun at the same time. The only down side is its very very early in the morning. I wake up at 5 AM on Mondays and Tuesdays and around 6 AM on Thur's and Fridays. And most nights i work at Golds till about 7 or 8 PM. Its busy but really good for me. I am learning a ton about exercise and how to train people. Also about how to deal with people in general. Its challenging but great at the same time.

Some things we have been doing lately is Snowshoeing, Basketball (playing and watching), watching Prison Break (loved it), Dinner with friends (the other day we did a Cafe Rio dinner), and watching America Idol.

Thats it, till next time.
