Final Weeks

We have hopefully come to our final weeks before this little man is going to join us.  And can I just say I'm beyond ready.  I have really enjoyed this whole pregnancy thing up until about 3 weeks ago.  I started swelling and retaining a little bit of water and that makes life a little less comfortable.  I've been beyond lucky to have made it this far without many issues.
Here is the first blanket that I have made for him! I'm sure its the first of many

Here is the beginning of his nursery! I will have to get a complete picture now that we have much much more!

Baby shower #3 and this amazing cake that Josue's 11 year old cousin made us! We have felt beyond spoiled by everyone and their love for our expanding family!!

Funny thing about this picture, my brother told me "you look pretty in this picture" I said, "thanks I haven't been feeling great." His response, "yea, you've been looking pretty terrible lately!" Got to love brothers!!

Spending some time with these cute twins of our friends!  They make me beyond excited to be a mom! I hope my kids are as cute and well behaved as these two! I am just missing a picture of their sister LuLu!!

 Here is the latest belly pic.  This was taken at 37.5 weeks.  Hopefully there aren't many more to come from here!

 Got this picture from my cousin to show to my belly to hope he comes out to meet us all sooner than later!

Hoping the next time I post I will have a baby and then get better and posting after that!!

Baby Baby....Boy coming May 2013

In September we found out I was pregnant.  A huge amount of joy came into our lives.  I had/have been feeling fabulous the whole entire time.  In October, I got extremely sick, puking for days and everyone around us was positive I was pregnant.  I wasn't going to let the cat out of the bag until we had seen a doctor.
To tell our parents we went to Josue's moms house and she had been sort of sick too, Josue was like "Mom, are you pregnant?" "No just not feeling great" Next thing out of his mouth was..."Well we are!!!" They were beyond excited for us.  Next it was off to my parents house.  If you know me I can't keep ANYTHING from my mom.  My brother had come up for dinner too.  We were all having dinner, so Josue decided to put the ultrasound picture under the salad bowl.  No one moved the bowl and it was killing me. I just kept hiding behind my hair I was so nervous to tell them.  So my dad finishes his dinner and goes to the living room.  At this point I have maybe said 5 words all dinner.
Josue decides to lift the salad bowl and try and get anyone to notice it.  First person to notice is my brother, he was in complete shock.  No way...next my mom goes...what is that?  Then everyone was so excited.
Here is the first picture of our little guy!!

 Then around 12 weeks we went back to the Dr.  This time Josue got to come with me to see the Ultrasound and hear the baby's heartbeat!

We were then headed to California for Thanksgiving to spend it with my extended family and we knew we couldn't keep it from anyone.  On Wednesday we showed up with these shirts on. At first Josue had his shirt on and I was bundled up with a jacket.  My cousin's wife Julie was like what does your shirt mean! From there everyone was so excited and it was nice to finally relax and be open with everyone!!

 Then last week we found out it was a baby boy.  I was in shock, I was like 95% sure it was a girl and had sort of convinced Josue it was a girl.  Everyone wanted a boy so I figured it would be a girl.  Throughout this whole process I was saying that it would save me tons of money if it were a boy because the girls clothes are so much cuter!  We are over the moon with this new addition that will be joining our crazy mix the end of May!  Josue is the sweetest guy throughout this whole thing! He is going to be the best daddy in the whole world! This little guy is a lucky guy!  When she said it was a boy he was over the moon with excitement and hasn't wiped the smile off his face for days!!

 Here is the latest belly shot.  Here I am at 20 weeks!! Half way there! Hoping I keep enjoying this all as he grows and I get bigger!

Hopefully I will keep up with this blog more with updates on this little guy! Went to the Dr today and everything is looking good and he even bounced off her hand while she was feeling around for him! I can't wait to start feeling him move and having Josue get to feel too!!

Life Catch Up

I always thought I would keep up with a blog...fail big time on my part.  Life has been great and busy.
In May right before we got married, Josue got a new job at Deer Valley! He loves it!! He is a lift mechanic, really he makes sure the lifts work and are safe for the skiers.
One scary thing did happen to us on August 1st, I got a call from Josue saying he had just left the clinic cause he had fallen off a lift tower.  The strap that they use to hoist themselves up on the wire snapped and they just went falling down.  Luckily he had a harness on but still scary.  He and all the guys he works with got a lecture how when a work accident happens your call your wife/girlfriend on the way to the doctor not when you leave :)

Since then we have moved into a much bigger apartment in Salt Lake to hold all of our gear! Its nice for once to have a normal sized closet again.

This summer my dad got his Packard up and running which hasn't worked until I was a baby! Its been fun to drive around in and it is the light of his life!!

This past weekend we woke up to this amount of snow!!! We were both very excited to get this much snow but I really don't like cleaning it! Isn't that a husbands job?

 This summer we also were housesitting and this handsome guy came up and hung out with us! He would only hang around when Josue wasn't home so I started calling him by boyfriend! I think he was protecting me when I was alone! I've never seen a moose this close, I was just through a sliding glass door from him!

 This guy turned 26 in October! He is just the light of my life! I honestly don't know what I would do without him! Not a day goes by I'm not thankful for him! He can get me to giggle when I'm having the worst of days!

 For Halloween, Josue came up with the idea to be LEGOS! It was a super easy costume to make but a little big and awkward to wear!

Hopefully I will get better at updating the blog!

Honeymoon....

We were sent off to Mexico one week after our wedding...We took the red eye to Cancun on Saturday night and landed around 9 am on Sunday.  We spent our entire week between the ocean and the pool reading and just enjoying each other.  After the madness of the wedding and planning it was the most perfect week!

 We couldn't check in quite yet so we just changed and went to the pool

 One of the views from our room over the pool.

 View out of our window!

 This stupid party boat hung out in the bay outside of our hotel every night and they would have fights with each other.

 Cutest dad and son singing in our hotel lobby bar every night!

The boat we took to Isla Mujeres

 We rented a golf cart to drive around the island for a few hours.  This island only has 1 road that goes around the whole island.  It was super fun to see real life Mexico not just what tourists see.

 Entrance to Turtle farm.

 Best tourist picture of my boy!

 The water was amazing while we were there.  Everything about it, its warm, its gorgeous and wonderful to just relax.

 Cute little guy selling Popsicle on the beach.

 On the boat back to Cancun.

 On the boat home from the Island back we had a dance party on the top level.  to start it off me and Josue had to start dancing, once the music stopped we needed to find two more people to join us before we had a bunch of people dancing.  Once that was done there was a sexy dance contest.  There was Josue, a guy from Columbia and a guy from Idaho.  Josue was the first and youngest and it was just hilarious.

 Cute little grandpa that won the contest of being the sexiest!

 Going to dinner and dancing!

 Every night there was a piano player in the bar and he would call us up and make the honeymooners dance!

 Sweet couple celebrating their 25th anniversary!

 The mercado!

  Best shot of the whole week!

I feel like every day we would hang at the beach and then around 4 a storm would roll in.  This night it poured rain for about 3 hours and when we looked out the whole pool area was flooding from the crazy storm. 

 Hours later and the beach was as calm as could be and beautiful!

 We met some amazing people on our trip.  Above are our friends from Boston and Arizona.  The girls all wanted to get a tan so Josue and Derek(green shirt) went paddle boarding in the lagoon.

 This family was celebrating their 50th and 25th wedding anniversary and made us feel like a part of their family!  After we met them and hung out for a few days we both said that they gave us hope and we would hope to be like they are after so many years!

 We saw a crocodile in the ocean on our second to last day there and it was amazing how small they can be!

 Sporting my Kentucky Derby hat my mom gave me!

 The caught and injured Crocodile.

 This was our hotel that we stayed in!

The last night we were there we decided to splurge and have a fancy dinner.  We took the bus and asked them to let us know when we were there.  Then the bus did its turn around and apparently we missed the bus stop which was like 3 minutes from our hotel which turned into 25 minutes.  It was an adventure to say the least!

 Celebrating our 2 week anniversary!

 Last night of dance parties!

I would highly recommend going on vacation where you have no cell phone service and avoid the internet after getting married.  It was the best week spent with just Josue and no one else was around!
