News!

So here's what's been going on lately. On June 18 Nick and I got to find out what we were having. First though we had to drive someone in the ward up to Idaho Falls for a doctor's appointment. While we were waiting for her we decided to go to target to look around at baby clothes. We found the perfect outfit! It's a little green onsie that says Daddy's caddy in training on it. It's probably for little boys but we decided since it's green it could be gender neutral since we didn't know what we were having yet. Anyways. So we got back to Rexburg just in time for my appointment and we went in and got the ultrasound done...Usually they tell you the gender last, but our little one was in the perfect position apparently to tell what it was so the ultrasound lady told us...She was like well, here's one leg, here's the second...and there's a third. Then me, being the smart person that I am and kind of in shock, asked so, it's a boy? So there it is! We're having a boy!! He moves around now all the time. Sometimes it scares me because I'll be spacing out and then all of a sudden he'll move really hard and I jump. The doctors also say that he looks really healthy and everything is where it should be so Nick and I were happy about that. In other news, Nick and I just moved into a new apartment and we love it because it's bigger. It's also a lot more social than our other place and we know mostly everyone here because it's still in our same ward. Let's see...we're also going to Ohio for two weeks at the end of August and we are so excited!! Well I am at least. We're going to visit Nick's family this next weekend for the fourth. Again, really excited. And then his sisters are coming to visit us soon too. And then school will be over! I cannot wait because this has been such a stressful semester for me. Not that the next one will be any better I don't think, I mean, halfway through I'm going to be having a kid. Who by the way we are naming Koen Paul. Just thought I would throw that out there.

Weekend with the family

So it's already June which is crazy to me but it also means that this semester is halfway over!! And let me tell you, it's been stressful. I can't even imagine how the next three will go with a kid here. Enough about that though. Here's what's been going on lately. Kristin had her baby (finally)! Mom came out about a week and a half ago and she stayed here with Nick and I. Then Jordan and Dad came out on Friday and they also stayed with Nick and I, which was fun I guess but incredibly crowded in our tiny one bedroom apartment. The air mattress a friend of mom's loaned them took up the entire room and was taller than our couches. It was kind of funny. Monday we all went to Yellowstone because Jordan and Jacob have never been there. It was fun. Kind of cold though. And when we weren't spending hours upon hours in the car to get to the next place, we walked. A lot. Let me tell you and I'm sure you all know this. Walking while you're pregnant is not fun. Especially at the lower falls. They're pretty, but to get to them you have to walk down the side of a mountain. Back and forth I think ten times. Going down is fine. Going back up however was another story. They had benches at every turn and I'm pretty sure I made Jordan and Nick stop at every other one. At first it was to "let mom and dad catch up," but then I finally admitted that it was because I could not breathe. Ridiculous. Nick told me I needed to work out more. I laughed at him and told him it probably wouldn't get better. That's pretty much Yellowstone. Mom, Dad, and Jordan left us there. They went on to Montana and the rest of us headed back to wonderful Idaho, where it has been raining, snowing, windy, and any other terrible kind of weather you can imagine. In June. I'm so tired of it. I can't wait til Nick and I have graduated and he goes to dental school. NOT IN IDAHO!! Because there isn't one here. Darn. Not. Anyway. It's really nice to have the apartment back to ourselves again and to be able to spend time with each other. It was kind of hard on us I'm not going to lie...Change of subject. I had a doctor's appointment last friday. I really wish they would tell me before hand what it is they are going to have me do. I was not prepared for them to draw blood from me so I didn't eat anything because since my family was in town we were going out to breakfast afterwards. But they were nice about it and gave me some food. Also, we scheduled the appointment where we get to find out what it is!!! I am so excited to be able to say he or she. Not it. We even have decided on a name for a boy finally, but with our luck it will be a girl. We're still having problems picking out a name for girls but we've got it narrowed down to two. Aubrey and Addelyn. I don't think that's how we would spell that but I'm too tired right now to figure anything else out and I'm sure Caitlyn will tell me how to spell it...But that is our life right now. Same as always pretty much except for family visiting.
