Update

Well it's been awhile since I have done a belly shot so after Rickell asked nicely I thought I should post one. I have been pretty busy lately and I haven't found as much time to blog so that is why I have 2 posts in one day. I got a promotion at work, but with that promotion comes a weird schedule. I work 7 days on, but then I get 7 days off. It definitely has it's ups and downs but so far I like it. Alan and I are all ready for Christmas and it's hard to believe that it's just a couple days away. I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday and that they are able to spend it with those they love. Merry Christmas!This is at 13 weeks

We went to a Christmas music program and quite enjoyed it.

We try to get together every Sunday for dinner and games. For those of you that don't know, Alan and I love playing board games and we are getting a nice little collection started. So if you ever feel like getting your butt kicked in dominoes call Alan.. Not me!

Gingerbread Houses

For a fun family activity all the Roberts got together to make gingerbread houses. I haven't made one in who knows how long, so it was fun to get together and celebrate the holidays. I spent A LOT of time working on the dang windows and door so make sure you look close. Haha.

These are all the houses we made that night. I think there is some serious talent in this family!

Alan with our nephew Tyler putting some dedication into the details.

Sheryl, Alan's oldest sister, and her son Jordon just getting started.

I was too busy trying to lick the frosting off to notice that Alan was getting hostile.

Have yourself..

My little sister, Rachel, asked that I post a picture of our tree. It sure is small and not a lot going on with it, but it works for us. We have done all our christmas shopping and now they are waiting under the tree for us. This is close to my favorite time of the year. I love giving gifts, especially to Alan. He gets so excited over everything I get him and it really makes waiting in line at the cashier worth it. Merry Christmas everyone! 

First Appointment

Well I had my first doctor appointment on Thursday and my mom and little sister were able to come up for it. My doctor is an energetic lady and told me that everything is looking good. We weren't originally going to have the ultrasound the same day as the appointment, but they were able to get me in a couple hours after the appointment. It was such an amazing thing to see my little baby in the screen. I instantly started crying and Alan just laughed at me, although he was just as amazed. The baby's heart beat was 175 beats per minute which is normal for this age. They also told me that I'm not as far along as I thought I was. I thought I was 12 weeks, but I'm only 10. Making the due date July 2nd. Alan is hoping for a 4th of July baby. All in all we had a great weekend and it's comforting knowing that there really is a baby in there and there is a reason for being this hormonal.

If you look close you will see two little + signs, that is marking from the head to the feet. So the baby is 3.08 cm long.

Thanksgiving in St. George

After work on Wednesday, Alan and I cruised down to St. George to spend the long weekend with my family. We got lucky this year and both my Dad's and Mom's families were in town. We hopped from one house to another and never stopped eating! We had such a great time and although it rained one day, we still enjoyed the warmer weather. We also got to go out to dinner with Rickell and Jesus to celebrate baby girl Chloe's 2nd birthday. It's always fun to hang out with the Espinozas. 

This is Maggie May and for some reason she LOVES to sit really close to the heat lamp. I wonder how her face doesn't start on fire. 

This is Maurice, or Mauricio. We pushed his lips up so he looked like dracula dog. It was pretty stinkin funny.

It isn't Thanksgiving unless someone passes out on the floor. Love ya Mom!
