Live Laugh Love: January 2011

HALF WAY DONE!!

So I am past my 20 week mark which means I am half way done!! Yeah! I didn't realize this would go by so fast and I am realizing that May will be here before I know it!! So far, this pregnancy has been a breeze. I don't know how I have been so lucky with no sickness and feeling great! I am getting heartburn a little more frequently lately, but could be self induced because I love spicy foods! I haven't really had many constant cravings, except sausage... yeah, weird I know! I just crave different things and then an hour later it's something different! My belly is getting BIG! It has been fun to watch it grow (I'm sure I won't be saying that at 8-9 mon)! Oh, and I am feeling him move all around now! How cool is that?!?! Can't wait till Doug can feel him!

Here are some belly pics from 20 weeks!

We are moving (thank goodness we have movers) next weekend and I can't wait to get setteled so I can start on his nursery. I have a couple of ideas and I can't wait to see it come to life!

So many exciting things happening in that belly of mine!!

Happy New Year!!!!

This was a very special New Year's day for our family! My sister and Nick got married and Doug performed the ceremony! Doug had gotten ordained online a long time ago and had always wanted to marry someone (yes, he was a huge Friends fan) so he was THRILLED when my sister and Nick asked him! I on the other hand had a hard time picturing my husband acting serious enough to do something so special for someone! If you know my hubby, then you know there are not alot of serious moments when you are with him. He did a wonderful job though and the ceremony was beautiful! I couldn't be happier for them and they derserve a lifetime of happiness! It was a great evening with family and friends!

Mr. and Mrs. Sutterby!

These baby blues get me every time!

What a gorgeous bride!!!

You may now kiss the bride!

the kids in the limo!

So after the wedding and reception dinner my sister and her friends went out and had a wonderful time! Being pregnant and tired all the time decided to skip out on these festivities, but I wish I could have been out!!
Love you guys and CONGRATS!!!

It's a........ BOY!!!

So we had a doctors appointment scheduled at 1:00 the day we left for Goshen. I worked a half day and went to pick up Doug to go find out if we were having a little p or v!! We get there stressed because traffic was CRAZY and get back to see the Doctor and after talking for awhile she tells us that the ultrasound that we were supposed to be getting never got scheduled! So we could reschedule or come back at 4. Well, there was NO way I was going home for Christmas and not have anything to tell the family! So thankfully I was only working a half day and Doug's work is understanding so we ended up going home and packing up the car to leave right from the ultrasound and headed back to the Doctor's office. The suspense was killing me so I couldn't wait to get back in that room! So after seeing our baby wiggle and flip all about she tells us that we are having a little BOY!! Doug was not surprised, although I was bc I was sure I was having a girl! We are very excited and can't wait to welcome our little boy into this world in May! It was a very stressful few hours with having to rearrange our afternoon, but it ended up getting us on the road to Goshen a little earlier, so it ended up being for the best! Funny how that works sometimes :) I wouldn't tell my family what we were having until we got there so needless to say they were all waiting at the door when we walked in so excited to hear the news! They are all very excited to meet our skittle! they even made him his own little stocking and had "baby P" and "baby V" gift options ready! So cute! Love them!!

Baby boy Hilder @ 18 weeks!

Stocking for our little skittle :)

I can't wait to meet you baby boy!!

Christmas Recap

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! So it turns out that I'm a little lazy when keeping up with this blog... sorry! We had a wonderful Christmas with my family! We decorated cookies, played ALOT, had a yummy dinner, and shared a lot of hugs and kisses! (oh and opened a few presents!) We left for Goshen on Wed and came home on Christmas day to steal Riley for a little while. He turned out to be sick so we waited to see him till the next day. Here are a few pics of our Christmas celebration! Man I just love all of our family and I feel so lucky about that!
