Growing...

I'm sorry that I haven't been posting much, I lost my camera so I'm stuck with my lame camera phone till I get a new camera(hopefully from Santa JJ on christmas hint hint). I have a few pictures of my pregnancy growth...again the quality of the pictures are not so good because I used my phone.

Week 17: Just a small bump...at the time I thought I was showing a lot, Yeah right! I had a lot of morning sickness at the time...but not too bad.


Week 21: A much more visible bump, but people still looked at me like they weren't sure. The first random person to notice was a woman worker at Arby's, I pick up the lunch for my office at work and we go to Arby's sometimes...the girl asked if i'm pregnant and I got REALLY excited and I said YES! Thank you for noticing!...then she said "Yeah...you used to be so skinny so I figured you had to be pregnant", I maybe should have been offended but I know I've gained weight so I didn't mind.


Week 27: I am currently at week 27, Everyone can tell that I'm pregnant now! Yay! My back is killing me and I can't get up and down the way I used to. I hate looking at the scale at the doctor's office every month and I'm almost always in the mood for pizza. The stretch marks have formed on the sides on my thighs but they aren't too gigantic yet. The baby kicks a lot, especially after I eat something sweet. JJ has felt him kick many times, my mom and my sister Kristi have also felt him. I only fit in 3 or 4 of my shirts and I wear my only pair of maternity jeans almost everyday because everytime I go shopping i'm too lazy to try clothes on. I love reading about the weekly development of my baby on what to expect when expecting...it says that this week my baby is 16 inches long and about 2 1/2 pounds.


I think that pretty much sums up my pregnancy so far...We haven't decided on a name for sure yet but we have one in mind that we like the most. My due date is March 6th...and I feel like it will come really fast! I can't wait for my little boy to come!!! I'm so glad that I have such a great husband that supports and helps me everyday. I'm so glad that I have such a great family on JJ's side and my side to help us raise our son.

Ultrasound

Last week JJ and I went to get our second Ultrasound, through our actual doctor this time, and they confirmed that we are having a boy! I'm sorry that the pictures didn't come out too clear, the scanner made them look worse than they really are.
During the ultrasound poor JJ fainted(the room was small and a little warm)...thankfully the woman doing our ultrasound caught him before he hit the foor. I was just laying there because I couldn't get up with all the goop piled on my stomach, so i just watch in horror. He was only out for about a minute or less but his face was pure white and he kept falling back asleep. They had the ambulance come and take him accross the street to the hospital just to make sure he was okay and thankfully he was! We haven't been able to figure out exactly why he fainted yet, but this will be quite a story to tell our little boy about one day!
Here is JJ on his hospital bed...he was sad that they didn't give him any chocolate cake at the hospital.


I lost my camera so i haven't been taking pictures of my stomach yet but I will try to get a good picture with my phone and post it up soon!

It's a BOY!

Last Tuesday JJ and I went to get a ultrasound so that we could find out the sex of our baby. On wednesday night my family got together at my mom's house to find out. We took a vote before JJ and I revealed the baby's sex and EVERYONE guessed that it was a boy...and they were right!

This is the cake we brought out


We are so excited for our little boy to come! He will be my mom and dad's first grandson and JJ's parent's 5th! No names have been picked out yet but we are looking. I still need to scan the pictures from the ultrasound, they will be up this week.

Please keep our little boy in your prayers...the doctor say's he is nice and healthy so far and we want to keep it that way!

13 Weeks Along...

I haven't written a post for a while with any updates, sorry everyone! So far our baby is doing fine, JJ and I heard the heart beat a couple weeks ago and in a couple weeks we'll find out it's gender! I put a baby ticker like Kellie has at the bottom of my blog if anyone wants to see the progress. I'll be in my second trimester in a few day and i'm really excited about that because for a long time I was feeling pretty sick, i'm just starting to feel better which is such a releif. As soon as my actual baby bump is showing I'll put up a picture.
People ask me if I want a boy or girl all the time and at first I was leaning toward a girl, then I thought maybe I want a boy more but now I really don't care at all. I'm so excited to know so we can prepare and think of names. JJ's parents and a lot of my coworkers think it will be a boy, but some of my close friends like Sandy are saying it will be a girl. What do you think I'm having?

My Best Friend

My best friend/cousin Sandy left for her mission to the Philipines a week ago today and I already miss her SO much! I'm really happy for her decision to go because I know she will do great things and become an even better person than she is today. I'll miss her random calls to me just to say hi or to sing me a song, but hopefully through letters we can stay connected and keep our bond strong. I wish that she could be here while I'm pregnant and when I have the baby but pictures will have to do. I know this post is random but I wrote her a letter today and it made me miss her so much more because I felt like I was talking to her and I get this happy high whenever i'm with her. I know 18 months will go by fast(hopefully), and I can't wait for her to come home speaking a crazy language instead of pretending to be able to speak a different language of her own! I'm the person I am today because of her and she has taught so much, I love my best friend!

Exciting News!!!

Hi everyone! I wanted to let you all know that I'M PREGNANT! JJ and I are so so so so so so excited. We told our families yesterday and they were really happy for us...of course all of us girls in my cry baby family started the water works when i announced it(especially my adorable little sister kristi)
JJ and I planned at first to wait a year till we would try for a baby but we talked about it after we got married and went through the Pros and Cons and in the end we decided that we have been so blessed with such a close relationship and financial stability, so we went ahead and started trying for a baby, so here we are!
The baby should be due in March 2010. PLEASE pray for our baby to stay healthy throughout my pregnancy. I'll keep you all updated!

Bullard Family Cruise

JJ's family had plans to go on a cruise together to Mexico. After JJ and I got engaged they included me! We ended up going to Canada instead because of the swine flu problem.

This is the only picture I have of the boat, but it was HUGE!

I was so excited every night to see what towel animal we'd have

Greg, JJ and I stuck together everyday. I was hard to hang out with our whole group during the day because there was 14 of us.
What a lively group we had here

It was really cold and windy one morning but the boys wanted to play mini golf on the top of the ship so I geared up with all my sweaters and manned up...but as you can see it was a little tough

We only got to the second whole and JJ and Greg already started to argue about cheating and somehow JJ ended up hitting his ball off the ship into the water, this was not surprising to me.

Heres some on the family looking down at some crazy drunk guy on the dance floor.

EVERYDAY we went to the arcade where JJ and Greg played air hockey over and over and OVER. JJ also beat greg over and over and OVER!

Here are my amazing in laws! I'm so greatful for them. They also had a really big room were JJ and I played dominos with them and were totally defeated.

Guess who will win...


and the winner is JJ!

Our first stop was Atoria in Oregon. It was beautiful but not too much to do.

The second stop was Victoria, Canada. We went on a tour with Aimee and her husband James on a bus around the town.

The third stop, and also my favorite stop was in Vancuver, Canada. We went on another bus tour there but it was longer and we made more stops.

Here is my super cool sister in law! She knows how to work a tree stump like no other!

We made some new friends, but JJ was being shy.

One night JJ and I sang "more than words" for karaoke, I was so nervous up there but it was fun, then my niece Briney, her mom Aimee and I sang "I will Survive" and it was so fun!

We had a great time, and we ate a lot! The buffet was pretty much our second home there.
I love the Bullards, I'm so lucky to work with them and to be in their family.
