Just Us

Love You.

Love these people

A week ago my best friend from high school came up to SLC and it's not very often I can convince her to come up here! We had such a good time and it's always so much fun when we get together. I want her to know that I will always consider her my sister and that I think she is a fantastic mom. Her kids are my favorite little people and I love them to death.

How can you not love that face?

Thanks for making me a part of your family Rickell and for all the memories.

I wanted to dedicate a page to my "baby daddy" and let him know how grateful I for him. He is going to be such a great dad and every day he finds something to do for his wife and baby boy. He spent a good part of the day putting together the nursery, all while I was out with Rickell or sitting in the same room blogging away. For both of our sanity I don't help him with putting stuff together. If you know me at all then you know that I am lacking in the patience department, but it's something I am working on!

The finished product.

The crib is a little bare right now, but that is just until I can find some fabric so my amazing Grandma can make the bedding. We have an idea of what we want, it's just a matter of actually finding it. Which is pretty hard when you already have something invisioned.

When I got home from errands Alan had put the dresser up and had already folded and put away what clothes we have. I am amazed each day at everything he says and does for me. It doesn't get much better than this!

Today has been long awaited, and we really couldn't ask for a better outcome. We went in for our 20 week ultrasound and doctor appointment, and luckily the ultrasound was scheduled first. While the tech was showing us the baby's organs, she casually asked us what we thought it was, or what we wanted. I instantly felt guilty for wanting anything other than a healthy baby, but I told her that we really felt like it was a boy. And she said... you are RIGHT. The left hand picture is the clear shot of our baby boy's jewels. Just to help you look at the picture right, it's as though you are changing his diaper. So his little boy parts are right in the middle and his legs are on each side. So there is no mistake about it.. we are going to have a BOY!!! We are both very excited about this and can't wait to welcome our son.
According to Henry's measurements, I am due the 4th of July, but they are keeping July 2nd as the official day. The only thing that is different about my pregnancy is that the umbilical cord only has 1 artery instead of 2. The baby is getting enough blood, and all my blood work has come back normal. They just want to schedule another ultrasound in 8 weeks to make sure he is growing enough, and I am ok with seeing my baby boy again! As far as I go (as if anyone really cares at this point.. lol) I am doing very well. I am right on track with my weight gain and I have been feeling him move every day now. No big kicks or punches, but Alan already has him practicing his dribbling and sprints. I made Alan take me to the store as soon as we found out we were having a boy so I could do some much anticipated shopping. Alan picked out all the clothes on the bottom. He is beyond excited and I love watching him.

Congrats!

Just wanted to give another shout out to our friends Spencer and Lana.. They have set the date, August 29th, and both Alan and myself are in the wedding party. It's going to be an amazing day and we feel honored to be a part of it. We love you guys!

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!
