We made it!

It's crazy to think that Jake and I have been married for a whole year! But at the same time I can't believe that is all it has been. It definitely goes by quick and it's fun to see what has happened in that crazy first year. It's also crazy to think that it has been a year and I am 30 weeks pregnant.... we don't mess around! I wouldn't change anything about our first year and I am excited for many more years to come! We both had to work on that day, so after work we decided to celebrate and go to Tucanos! I had never been there, and it was such a fun dining experience! LOVED the salad bar, and the meats were pretty tasty and I definitely was SO full. Then we walked around the Riverwoods (where the restaurant was located, its just a fun little shopping outdoor hang out area) and then headed home to watch Lost... Jake is currently obsessed and it's fun watching it a second time, because no matter how many times I watch it I will always be confused. Instead of doing gifts for each other, we just bought American Idol tickets! It's this coming Monday and we are so excited.

Pregnancy Update

I have been meaning to always update my pregnancy on here so I can remember what goes on but I haven't really had time to sit down and blog! I'm not going to lie and say this pregnancy has gone by fast... cause I feel like I have been pregnant forever! But that must mean it's getting closer... and it really is and it's starting to hit me that I am having a baby.. really soon! On Monday I will be 30 weeks! Let the final countdown begin! Although everyone tells me that the third trimester goes by the slowest.... but we actually have a lot to look forward to these next couple of months so hopefully it goes by quick. I am having my Arizona baby shower, a fun wedding weekend in Idaho, moving back to Idaho and having another baby shower andddd oh ya.. having a baby! She is due Sept 24 and we can't wait! I saw this on some blog I came across and these are some fun things to track while being prego so I figured I would try it out. 

How far along? 29 weeks (30 weeks in 2 days)
Maternity clothes? Nope! I guess that's something to be happy about! Don't get me wrong.. I only have one pair of pants that I can actually button, so I have been relying on the ponytail trick.
Stretch marks? nope and crossing my fingers that I never do
Sleep: This is another thing that I have not had an issue with. I love sleeping on my stomach, and that definitely can't happen anymore, but that doesn't stop me from falling asleep and staying asleep.
Miss Anything? My body! It sounds weird but being pregnant makes me so motivated to get back into shape and being healthy... I have been trying my best to go on walks and I have been doing my Jillian Michaels Dvd's.. but you can't really help the normal pregnancy weight gain and I just feel like a fatty! But its ALL worth it :)
Movement: All. The. TIme.  This will definitely be something I miss when I'm not prego, cause its such a fun/weird/ crazy feeling to have a human baby inside of you constantly kicking and flipping around. It's so weird to just be laying there and watching my stomach and it literally does the wave.. so fun!
Food cravings: Not really... I haven't had any crazy prego girl cravings that I know of. My definition of craving for this pregnancy is if I think of a food in my head that sounds good, it doesn't go away until I eat it! It could be weeks until I get around to eating it (this last food thought was brown rice... random?) but I will always want it until I get it.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not eating after long periods of time
Gender: girl
Labor Signs: Nope!
Belly Button in or out: half and half.. its so weird looking and is making its way to be an outie
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy... even though Jake would probably tell you moody :)
Looking forward to: Going to Arizona in a couple of weeks to have my baby shower! 

4th of July

This 4th of July was fun and HOT. It started off with me waking up Jake (being prego = no sleeping in at all) and making him walk down to the parade that was right down the street from our apartment. Provo people are CRAZY. People started saving spots/camping out and sleeping overnight a whole 24 hours before the parade... the streets were lined with people! All we did was wake up and walk down there 20 min after the parade started and we had front row seats.... it wasn't the most eventful parade but it was still fun to get out and bake in the hot sun.

Then we drove to American Fork where we met up with Ben and Aubrey and all their kids to go swimming. We love being close to family and we can't get enough of their cute kids so it was fun to hang out with them.

Then later that night they had a bbq at their house where Brittany and Chad and cute little Brynn drove down from Ogden to join us! We ate yummy food, the kids swam until dark, and then we lit off some fireworks in their front yard. Overall it was a super fun fourth!

Instagram Update

This Summer we have just been working lots, being pregnant, and trying to enjoy Utah while we are here! I haven't been the best at taking pics, so here is an instagram overload of our summer so far.
