Where does the time go?

You know it's been a long time since you've updated your blog when your husband even tells you to update it. Life is crazy as usual, but I don't think I would trade it for any other way. We were able to sneak down to St. George for a couple days so we could help my mom move. After dinner one night we went shopping and Dylan (my little brother) and Alan thought they would play dress up. I'm not sure who my husband morphs in to when he gets around Dylan, but I love the relationship they have. 

As far as Baby goes, I am feeling him/her move everyday and it's hard to explain what it even feels like. I have always heard butterfly flutters, but for me it's just a bubbly feeling. The first time I felt the movement I had just eaten pancakes and orange juice and I guess all that sugar made Baby run laps around my belly. I can't wait until Alan can feel the movement though. We are finding out Thursday what we are having, and we feel pretty confident that it's a boy (or is that just me secretly wishing?). Alan and I finally broke down and bought some clothes down in St. George, which happen to be all for a little boy. I'll take pictures after I find out what I'm having.

We ordered a crib off line and it got to the store, so we went and picked it up. Well my poor husband/mule packed that thing on his back and hauled it into the apartment. We opened up the box, and the first thing I see is that one of the spokes is snapped in half. I was SO upset. So we went back to the store and come to find out, there was a recall on that crib anyway. I guess the brackets were faulty. Long story short, I have to order another crib that won't break the night I put Baby in there for the first time. I will take pictures once the nursery is getting closer to being finished. 

Wow.. I have rambled on and on, so if you are still with me, thanks for reading! I can't wait to post GIRL or BOY!!

2009!

It seems as though this year is going to be rather big. Our friends Spencer and Lana got engaged New Years Eve so we had to show off my belly with the bling. So not only will there be a wedding, but this is the year the Baby Roberts will officially be here, although not nearly as fast as I would like.

I had to laugh at this picture, cuz not only do I look really drunk, but Alan has got this really funny smile on his face. Still a cute picture though!

This was the group for New Years

Happy New Years, love the Roberts!

Also on another note, we had our 15 week check up yesterday. We were able to hear the heart beat and that was a really neat experience. Baby was moving around too much to be able to hear it for a long period of time, but everyone is healthy. We also scheduled THE ULTRASOUND! February 5th we should find out what we are having, so send me your guesses and we'll make a little game out of it!

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.

Alan and Rachel

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