I just LOVE this pic!

I had to post another blog with this edited picture, because I love the picture sooo much! Brian and I don't get to take very many pictures together, we don't really have anybody to take pictures of us! So I LOVE it when we get such a cute one together! Anyways, this picture was taken last week, before the baby shower.. I don't think I've gotten any bigger, and I didn't gain any weight in a week, so I probably still look the same! My next appointment is on Wednesday (Jan 30)! Another baby shower on the 2nd! Talk to you everyone soon!

Baby Shower! (by Applebee's)

Right before the baby shower, Brian and I took pictures. This is me 20 days before my due date!

SO BIG!


This one is my most favorite, but it was too dark! I'm having Brian try and fix it on photoshop, if it turns out better, I will post the more awesome picture.

Nicole and Rita from Applebee's threw me my first baby shower. It was really fun. We invited almost all of our girls from Applebee's, but unfortunately we chose to have the shower on the weekend of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the restaurant was REALLY busy! So half the girls that we invited couldn't come because they were stuck at work! We had a pretty good turn out anyways. I received a clothes, a wiggly gym, socks, shoes, diapers, blankets and a diaper mat thingy!

A few of the decorations they put up, they were really cute.
Nicole went to Party City and found a whole bunch of cute decorations, they got me a a stuffed doggie that says "it's a girl" and that you could sign, it was really cute. They also got me a disposable camera that was specifically for baby showers and it printed something on each picture, like the ones you will see down below.

This is Nicole, Rita and I

Me holding Shannon's baby, he was born 9 1/2 LBS!

Cupcakes were yummy!

Linsey and I, she just had her baby, her baby was under 6 LBS!

Anyways, that was baby shower #1, my second baby shower will be on February 2nd thrown by Brian's mom and sister. Only 18 more days until the baby is due!! Hopefully sooner rather than later! I love you all!

Christmas Time

Brian and I finally got our tree 2 weekends ago. We still don't have a star for the top, and it took us forever to find time together to decorate it. We ended up having to do it at midnight one night after I got off work. Even though we were tired, It was really fun. This was the first year I've ever decorated a tree with my significant other. The last time I decorated a tree, I lived with my parents!! So it was really fun and really special for us, especially me because of that fact.

We haven't used our fireplace in our apartment since we moved in, but we thought maybe we should start because it will help on our gas bill. It's so beautiful and romantic. It's also a perfect spot to put up Akasha's ultrasound.

We took some pictures for our Christmas card, which we still haven't sent out yet, but we'll do that soon. Oh well if they're late or they don't get there until close to Christmas! I'm sure people will still enjoy them (hopefully ;)We've just been so BUSY! They turned out really cute.. here is a few






8 Months Baby!! Only 8 weeks left to go! Looking HOT!

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas, I wish I could be there to celebrate it with my family, but then again, we did have Christmas in October!! I love you all!

Flood in Washington

Mom, seeing those pictures of the snow makes you not want to live here in 8 years? Well, listen to this!! Yesterday, after our 2 days of snow over the weekend and lots and lots of rain, west Olympia and many other parts of Washington flooded. Cooper Point Road and Black Lake Blvd flooded so high that 6 cars got trapped underneath the water and weren't able to get out until the water was cleared. It was absolutely mind boggling. We got a call from Brian's sister Nicole at 10 in the morning saying not to leave the house because it was crazy! She was stuck in Walgreen's at this time with the power out. Walgreen's is conveniently located at the corner of Black Lake and Cooper Point Road. I had to go to work at Applebee's, but luckily I made it, I had to go through the back roads and an 8 minute drive took me 30 minutes to get to my work. I was 15 minutes late. After I got home, Brian and I drove down to Walgreen's so we could see for ourselves the mess. It was shocking. It was flooded from Yauger Park to Black Lake (about 3/4 mile). People were on rafts and stuff. It was crazy! Unfortunately we forgot our camera, but here are some pictures from the Olympian so you can see for yourselves! http://www.theolympian.com/ (there's a video on that website, you can also look at, it's amazing!) Luckily, by the end of night they cleared it all away and everything was okay.

Snowed In

Yesterday, in Olympia, Washington it decided to snow! For those of you that know me very well, know that I HATE SNOW!! By the end of the night we had about 2 inches, Brian and I did not leave the house at all yesterday, I wasn't about to drive in the snow and Brian has been sick with what seems like the flu. I was supposed to go to work at 9:00 this morning, but I woke up at 7:30 and looked outside and it was way worse! I called my boss and told him I was too scared to drive, because we live on Tumwater Hill (and because of my accident, but lets not go there). He was totally nice about it because it's probably going to be really slow at the restaurant. Who is going to want to drive in this CRAP? I'm sure it's way worse in Utah than Olympia, but here's a few shots of what it's like today!

7 Months... and counting

I am officially in the third trimester of my pregnancy. I had my first appointment with a "real" doctor yesterday and they did 4 different blood tests and I will get the results back next Tuesday, just in time for my appointment with my midwife. He's also not sure about the issue with my skin, but the results of the blood test may help, but who knows! I will probably have to go to the dermatologist to find out.

The other night Brian looked in the paper and saw a brand new digital camera for a really good deal!! A 6 megabyte Nixon, my old camera was a 3 megabyte Kodak, so I'm totally excited! The camera totally rocks! That same night and the night before Brian cooked me an amazing dinner. We got cut up steak from Safeway, he marinated it the night before and served it with baked potato. It was sooooo good! Of course I love any kind of meat, so I was thrilled! It was very romantic. The next night we had steak left over so we went to Top Foods and got pineapple, green peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, red potatoes, and limes for kabobs! They were soooo good and again, very romantic.

They were soooo yummy
After dinner, I took about 30 pictures, just of me and Brian randomly because I was sooo excited about the new camera. He was about done at picture #7.

I still had a ton of fun playing with the new camera.

After dinner Brian played me piano for a little bit, I just love it so much when he plays for me. He's has so many talents, and I love them all!

While Brian was playing piano, I gave him a really good compliment about the dinner he had made for me. And let me tell you what, I had to plug my nose too because it stank THAT BAD!

Tomorrow Brian and I are going to have an early Thanksgiving dinner at his mom's house so I can make it to work at 5. But I'm not opposed to work on a holiday, you get payed double time baby!! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, I love you all and I wish I could be there.

Halloween (finally;)

After we took the parents to the airport we stopped by Walmart to get a couple pumpkins. As is turns out, I didn't get a chance to carve my pumpkin. I had to work the night of Halloween and I always have so much stuff to do. I have to work every day but Saturday and on Saturday all Brian and I did was stayed at home, played games (old Mario brothers for me and Anarchy Online for Brian). It was really nice to just be able to hang out with him and not do anything. Especially after our Utah trip and then getting the house all clean having my parents come up. But Brian did carve his pumpkin on Halloween night while I was at work.

I think maybe he did a replica of himself because the pumpkin is missing the same tooth on the bottom that Brian is missing on the top!! (don't tell him I said that though) HAHAHA! :0)
On Halloween, I decided to call myself, "Dracula's pregnant bride" I did my makeup really dark and Brian helped me use fake hair color and he did it black with some purple streaks! It was really fun. People could actually tell that I was pregnant!


We both look like idiots in this picture, but at least you can see the purple and black in my hair!

(The picture is a little dark) Brian is trying to pretend like he's got a belly too!
