Boise Baby Shower

A couple weeks ago my Aunt Heidi threw me a baby shower in Boise. I am so grateful or all the family and friends that were able to come. Babies truly are expensive, and I am so appreciative of all the generous gifts we received. Getting all "baby prepped" is starting to make me feel very EXCITED about the little boy coming soon! Can't wait for our life to be flipped upside-down - in a good way! Thanks again Auntie Heidi for having the shower and to my mom for all her help!


My girlfriends that were able to come!

Me and Mama (Grandma-to-be!)

5 great years... and many more to come!

Hard to believe that is was 5 years ago that we were married! Time sure has flown by... time really does fly when you are having FUN! That is one of my favorite things about Josh, he makes our life fun. When I get stressed, he lightens the load by making me laugh and reminding me that life is too short to stress the little things.

I am so grateful for Josh and all that he does for me. With our new little addition coming soon I can't wait to see what life has in store ahead of us. Josh is great with kids and is going to make the best Dad. Thanks for all you do Josh, can't wait to spend the rest of FOREVER with you! Love you! xoxo

twenty eight weeks!

I cannot believe how fast time is flying by! I am now 28 weeks and feel pretty good overall. I am not getting nearly as many headaches, and some days I feel like I have much more energy. The belly is for sure getting bigger...bending down to pick something up is becoming more of a task and my feet quickly get sore (no swelling in my feet though, not yet at least!) Baby boy is getting bigger too, which means his movements are much easier to feel- I LOVE THAT! I am getting more and more excited to meet our little guy everyday!

24 Weeks!

The baby boy is growing, as evident by my stomach. All is well with mama and the baby. Time is actually going pretty quick. As each day gets closer, I get more excited. I am feeling him kick all the time now, so that is pretty awesome. We still have a nameless little one, but I am sure we will come up with a name in the next few months.

Overall, I have been feeling pretty good. TIRED, however I fully understand that will not be going away anytime soon.

KaNsAs

Josh and I have been wanting to get back to Kansas for a visit since we left last May. (Hard to believe that was almost a year ago!) We went last month and it was so great to see everyone- The Walkers, Andersons and Hardys (My Fam). When we were living there we got to see my family all the time. We especially loved getting to spend time with my cousins' cute kids! It was a fun trip, but went WAY too fast. We will have to visit again soon!! Miss you all in Kansas!

Feeding Walker breakfast. Makes me so excited for our little guy to come!

Beautiful. Lazy. Sunday.

With My FAVORITE SUPERHEROS!

Gav and Ty are obsessed with superheros right now!

Love this pic of Josh and the boys.

20 WEEKS!!!

Hard to believe that we can start to count the weeks down! I am half way in my pregnancy. The time really has gone by very quick. We had our 20 week ultrasound on Friday April 1st. All is healthy and well with our baby boy!! We found out a few weeks early what the sex was, but it was confirmed- "this baby is for sure a boy." We feel so blessed to have the opportunity to be parents and start our little family. We are grateful for all the support we have with our friends and family as well.

Overall I have been feeling pretty good. Although there are times when I am still pretty nauseous, I cannot complain cause I have only thrown up a couple times. Seems as if I am always tired, but for sure have more energy than I did the first trimester. I am grateful that I am still able to work out regularly and continue my job during my pregnancy. Most of all I am grateful for a husband who could not be more supportive or more patient with me!

Well....

IT'S

A

BOY!!!

Well, we caved and decided way last minute that we would go down to Salt Lake to Fetal Foto, and find out a little early what the bayba was... boy or girl? You can never have enough time to be prepared right? So this just gives us a few extra weeks of preparation before our sweet baby boy comes into our lives.

Josh has been referring to the baby as a boy all along and I have been pretty neutral. Although, we have both been calling the baby "Marshall" from day one (no we would never consider naming him that, but it's funny to have an amusing name while we wait). So now instead of Josh having to worry about me accessorizing a baby girl in ruffles, bows, and fancy shoes...I have to worry about him spending money on tiny Jordans, anything Nike, and mini Josh outfits. We are so excited to be parents and feel so blessed at this time in our lives!

After we found out it was a boy, we did a little shopping. Josh made the comment, "Shopping for baby clothes is way better than shopping for other stuff." Glad he enjoys it as much (maybe more) than me... this could be dangerous!
