SLC Shower!
What a wonderful weekend!! It was so nice to see everyone who came out to the shower. It was perfect! Everything looked so sweet and there was lots of tasty snacks too! The baby got lots of gifts and last Friday he even got a name! His name will be Jadon. He's named after his grandfathers James and Donald. He doesn't have a middle name yet but setting his 1st name was a HUGE step!
It still seems so surreal! I must have said that a hundred times on Saturday. I kept looking around and thinking "Is this all really happening? This is really MY shower?!?" But I had a blast and we got a lot of really great things. Ivy and LeeAnn really went out of their way making blankets and burp cloths! They made 17 burp clothes and a total of 7 blankets!! How amazing is that? Becky did an AMAZING job with all the decorations. They looked so cute! She also went crazy shopping for him. He defiantly has a ton of diapers now! I'm really grateful for all the people who made this shower possible. Amanda let us use her beautiful home and between her, LeeAnn and Ivy they put out a really nice spread of food and cupcakes. Becky made some really cute and yummy cookies too! Becky also was responsible for all the wonderful decorations, most of which are hand made!! They all put in a lot of hard work!
To top it off Sunday was Mom's birthday. Even though we had to rush home Sunday morning it was still nice to be able to see her on her birthday and spend the weekend together.
Anyhow. Here are a few photos from the shower. Somehow Becky and I didn't get a picture together :o(
Thanks again everyone! Love you all!! Chad and I are truly lucky to have so many people in so many places who love and care for us and our child!

Ivy's having a...
GIRL!!! So excited for her!! It's getting more real now that both of us are getting further along. I can't wait to see her and everyone else on Saturday! Seems like this week is really dragging because I just want the weekend to get here already.
Last Friday we went in for our follow up ultrasound. His heart looks wonderful so that was good news. They suggested I drink more water because his house doesn't seem as "fluffy" as it should. We didn't really get any great pics of him, he doesn't like to have his picture taken I guess! But we got to see him moving around and doing his thing. So the 1st picture is of his legs, he had them crossed. The 2nd is of his really round head and his little hand up by his ear.
Saturday we went to Gaby's 9th birthday party. I made her a cake. She wanted strawberry with strawberry icing and airheads... Very much a kiddo cake! Gladys had surgery last Thursday and just got her results back that the stuff they removed was non cancerous. So that was really great news!
Also last week we got to see Tricia and Sabrina and Stewart. Tricia came over and helped us with idea's for placing the furniture in the baby's room and where to hang stuff on the walls. I'm sooo glad she came over to help with that! It had been way too long since we had seen her. She brought her friend and her son, they were really nice! Sabrina and Stewart were in town for a few days and they came over to visit and even brought the baby several super cute outfits! Spoiled little dude we have hehe. Sabrina is due in just about a month! I'm looking forward to seeing her little girl. I bet she will be really happy to be done being pregnant for a bit! Her kiddos like to scare everyone and try to come really early! Little stinkers! But she thinks she's going to make it to her due date now so that's good. And she looks great!
Well that's all for now! Next update will be about the shower I'm sure! Can't wait!!

Happy Memorial Day!!
Ok I'm a day late... but I hope everyone had a great weekend with family and friends remembering those who have served to keep our country free. We went to Vegas on Saturday and saw Scotty & Journet. It had been a long time since we saw them but when we saw them and started talking it was like we had just seen them a day before or something. They will be back in town the end of July and if all goes well Journet will be able to make it to my baby shower! That was really exciting news!!
Sunday we went to the pool and a BBQ. The weather was wonderful. It's getting hot quick, I think I'll be spending some time out by the pool this year to keep cool and get a little exercise and maybe even get a little color on my skin! Plus the sun is the best way to get your vitamin D!
I was excited to turn the calendar over to June, even though I know that means it's going to be getting hot quick! There is so much happening in June the time will fly by. Friday we have an ultrasound appointment so maybe I will have some cool pics to post next time. Sunday is Gaby's birthday, she will be 9 already!! The following Friday we will be heading to Utah! Crazy how fast time is going. I can't wait to be up there and see everyone!! If Ivy's baby cooperates we will know what she is having by then too! And that Sunday is my mom's birthday. So I'm glad the timing all works out so I get to see her on her birthday. All that is just within the 1st couple weeks of the month. Then we have our Dr appointment and Brandi's birthday and Father's Day! Wow! And once June is over mom and dad will be on the way down to Mesquite to move into their new place!! What an exciting and eventful month we have to look forward to!
Anyhow, I will leave you with a pic of me from by the pool! Yeah, I know I'm white haha... Check out that baby bump now! He's growing in there like crazy, I really popped out in the past week!
Love

Coming and Going
Going...
Last night we had dinner with Chad's parents, Brandi and Jordyn. It's starting to settle in that they are really moving away. I think it's taken a bit to get use to since we didn't really see them a whole lot. But it's really hitting home now. Especially with both of us being pregnant! She is due around the end of November. She said she is going to try to make it down when we have the baby if she can. That would be really cool. Then sometime we will have to make it out there. Not sure when that will happen though. It's about an 8 hour drive or there is an airport we can fly into not too far away and there are usually some pretty good deals on flights so we'll work something out. I can't wait to see their baby too when he or she gets here.
Coming...
Mom and Dad have picked out a place here in town and everything is on track. They will only be about a mile away. Their place is actually less than a block away from Chad's parents. They should be down July 2nd to sign the lease and move in. I'm so excited to have them around. I miss them a lot and it will be so great to have them around when the baby gets here. I keep looking at the calendar wanting it to hurry up and be June since there will be lots going on then after June is over mom and dad will be here. I really think this summer is going to go by really fast! Which would be nice considering it's going to start getting hot soon. They said we should hit 100 degrees sometime next week. For now we're enjoying these days in the 80's! Very nice.
A little of both...
Chad got his car out of the shop...well for a couple days. Then something went POP and its now leaking a lot of something so they are going to come look at it/pick it up today. I think that car might have some sort of a curse on it. lol... or it just hates us. I don't know which! Very pretty car though... Chad decided that this car is now his son's birth right (when he gets old enough and can be responsible for such a beast).
Speaking of our son... I am now 24 weeks along. Crazy to think he's been in there 6 months already! We're getting closer and closer to meeting our son! Only about 15 1/2 week left! Here is the newest pic of us hehe... This pic was taken in the morning and I tend to not be sticking out as much in the mornings that's why I look bigger in the picture from Simi's party a couple weeks ago. So excited to see him next Friday! I've been craving sweets a lot... Probably not the best thing in the world but I try not to give in every time. :o)

Busy times!
Wow it seems like we're busy... Maybe that's because I'm always tired lol. Simi's graduation is tomorrow - I really can't believe she is out of HS. She will be attending Dixie to become a radiology tech. Misty and Keith had a graduation party for her. They invited the whole graduating class (she goes to a small school so that's about 40 kids, about 30 showed up) Juan was the DJ and Chad helped him. Here is a pic of Chad and I from the party.
Yesterday we went for a checkup. Baby is doing well. He is measuring about a week ahead which is fine. His heart rate was 155, the Dr said that's a good strong heart rate. Since the last ultrasound he was being stubborn and wouldn't roll over so they couldn't get a good view of his heart we have another ultrasound scheduled for June 4th. I'm excited, it means we get to see our son again yay! We also got informed that we do not have to go the specialist so that was great news!! So it was a good trip to the Dr.
I got my invite to the baby shower that Ivy and Becky are throwing next month on the 12th!! I'm sooo excited! It'll be so great to see family and friends that I haven't seen in a while. I feel very special that I have great friends and family that love me and are looking forward to the addition to our family!

Mother's Day
I've finally decided that the feelings in my body are defiantly the baby. I had thought they were for a while but it feels like tummy rumblings to me lol... But now there is no denying it's him. Last night I laid on my back for a minute and he was rolling all around. Chad even got to feel him move for the 1st time. That was pretty cool espically since it was Mother's Day.
We celebrated Mother's Day by sending my Mom some pretty flowers. They made a surprise visit last week so it was really nice to get to see them. I had been sad that I wasn't going to be able to see my mom near Mother's day. Yesterday we also took Chad's mom out for dinner. We got her a new watch since she had been needing one. It was a nice day.
We spent some time putting up nursery furniture as well. We got the crib together on Saturday and the dresser together yesterday. Both are really sturdy and turned out very nice. His nursery is coming along quite nicely I think. I'm happy I have taken the advice to do this sort of thing in the 2nd trimester while I still have energy and I'm not too huge yet.
We'll that's all for now. This weekend is Simi's graduation party. She graduates next week. I also have a Dr. appt next Monday!
