Seven Months!

Here is a new shot of me 7months along... Definitely getting out there. It was fun to watch my belly during church today and see the waves our little guy was making as he was moving all around.

Lately Chad and I have been really busy, and trying to spend time on the nursery. It is so much fun. We fly out to Utah on Thanksgiving morning and can not wait to see everyone there. We miss you guys!

ps- I am trying to fix my blog now by re-adding all of my contacts to the side. If I forget to add you. Please let me know.

Blogging SOS

So, I tried to change the html on my template to try to get a more original background.. and look what happened!!! I lost all of my friend blogs that were on the side. Has anyone else had this problem? What can I do so that it doesn't do this next time? I get the worst blogger ever award.

Halloween Fun

Here are some pictures from a couple Halloween parties that we went to this year. The first one is from our ward "trunk or treat". Back when my mom was pregnant with #3, she and my dad dressed up as Hefty and Glad trash bags, so we decided to bring back the good idea. The second picture is us at a Mystery dinner that our friends hosted. Chad was supposed to come as an Airforce pilot, and I was a rich, French Lady. So, there you have it. (thanks for the pics Hannah!)

Tag... I'm it.

So, Lindsay tagged me the other day, and here we go...
A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.



1. Chad and I love to share everything. We split both meals at restaurants, drink from eachothers cups constantly, sleep on the same side of the bed (I like the edge, and he has to snuggle right up next to me) and he even lets me wear His pajamas.



2. The longer I live in Maryland, the more I realize that I LOVE Utah. The past four years on the East coast have made me really miss: family, mormons, cinnamon bears, CAFE RIO, the Malt shop, American Fork canyon, Rhodes rolls, snow shack, mountains, DRY/non-humid air, BYU football, mexican food, and good customer service.



3. I am completely obsessed with making lists, crossing items off lists, feeling my baby kick, planning parties, pottery barn, diet coke, guacamole, New York City, Wicked the musical (we have seen it 9 times I think.) mint ice cream, fall leaves, and Halloween (my fav. holiday).



4. I am not all into gameshows, I actually hate watching TV, but somehow, (not sure if this is lucky or unlucky) I have been a contestant on The Price is Right, and the Wheel of Fortune.



5. I tend to take on too many things at the same time, for example: Running a marathon 2 weeks before my wedding, or Working 12 hour shifts in the ICU of the #1 hospital while being pregnant. Hmmm... not sure why I do this to myself.



6. I am 6 1/2 months pregnant and can not wait for our little boy to get here. I am so excited to be a mom I can hardly stand it. we've been working on the nursery lately, and it is going to be so stinking cute.



YOUR TURN! I tag: Hannah, Chanel, Jami, Carissa, Adge, Lacey

26 Weeks... about 6 months along!

Some people have been requesting new belly pictures, so here you go. This is my ever growing belly at 26 weeks, which is about 6 months in the pregnancy world. Third trimester here we come! I have been feeling great, but feel like my belly is so OUT THERE. From the back, and even the front, its hard to notice, but from the side, there is no mistaking. I look like I have a little volley ball under my shirt. Wow, I can't wait to see what this looks and feels like in January! Being pregnant is crazy.

Updates...

Sorry it's been a while since my last post. We have been pretty busy. We were able to fly out to California last weekend to spend time with Chad's family. We had such a great time, and had a pretty full schedule while we were there, which began with In n' Out burgers on our way home from the airport. On Saturday we had a great baby shower thrown for us and got some really good stuff. What a blast! Chad's brother Josh goes on a mission on October 24th and we were so glad that we could spend some time with him and attend his farewell talk at church on Sunday. Sunday was filled with seeing lots of friends and family all day. One of the highlights of the trip was being able to meet our newest little niece Kenna, who was just a couple of weeks old. She is so dang cute. It was a great trip, and like always, not long enough. Thanks Burnhams for making last weekend one to remember! Here are some family photos that we had taken while we were there.

The pregnancy is going great. I am now 25 weeks along YAY! So, that's about 6 months and I feel great. Our little boy moves and kicks non stop like a little crazy man... I don't know what I'm in for! According to the doctors, he is growing beautifully and the lady that did my ultrasound this week said he has just about the chubbiest cheeks she has ever seen on a 24 weeker. You could literally see his HUGE cheeks on the screen. I just love this little guy already and can't wait to actually meet him!

A night at Camden Yards

Chad and I went out last week to Camden Yards in downtown B'more to watch his Angels destroy the poor Orioles. It was the perfect night and we had great seats... third row off the field, just past 3rd base. We had so much fun together and we can't wait until our little boy is born so he can join us in these fun outings. Here are some pics from the night, along with a 21 week belly picture. oh, and GO ANGELS!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHAD!!!

September 7th was Chad's birthday! We had a really fun time shopping all day together on Friday. We ended up making a few large purchases for the big day. We got a new imac, which I think I love, but I am still trying to figure it out, and ordered our baby furniture. Check out munirefurniture.com (essex collection) to see what we picked for our little guy. It takes about 14 weeks for the furniture to arrive, so we had to order early.
Saturday night we had a big dinner party at our house with some of our closest friends to celebrate Chad's oldness. I had my first attempt making my own cheese fondue and it was great!!! Candels lit the tables and it ended up being a really nice dinner. We also had some really great salads, meatballs and cheesecake with a chocolate drizzle. All of Chad's favorite songs were the playlist for our dinner music, and then we got to see who knew the most random facts about Chad in a triva game. It was a really fun night. A few people stayed after the dinner to watch the BYU game. Wish they would have won!

Fogo de Chao

These pictures are a couple weeks old now, but I had to post them to show my appreciation for Stacey Starley's Fogo de Chao recommendation. The night we found out we were having a boy, we decided to celebrate by going to this SWEET new place in the inner harbor. The food was absolutely amazing, and it was so much fun to have Chad's brother Josh in town to celebrate with us. Here are some pictures from our great night, and a few shots of Chad showing off my 18 week belly.

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's right, its a BOY, and we are so excited!!! We had our ultrasound today and it was so much fun. I just want to go back and do it all over again. Our boy performed beautifully for us. He is so dang cute and has a tiny little nose with a big belly. He kept putting his hands up by his face. At first he was being a little modest, and had his legs together. But we caught him in a full leg stretch, before he crossed them again at the ankles to relax a bit. I can't wait for this little guy to get here.

After the ultrasound we went out to breakfast and then went to the mall to pick out our favorite little boy outfit. What a great way to start off the day!!!!!!!!!!!!
