Picture Overload!!



























On Wednesday April 11, 2012 Rob and I went to fetal photo to find out what baby carter would be. I took a poll on facebook, as well as family and friends at work. 22 people said boy, 9 people said girl.... WELL... MINORITY ruled on this one. We are having a baby girl! Rob went into the apt (and throughout the entire pregnancy) thinking we were having a boy. I thought it was a boy until we came up with a girl name, then I didn't know either way. Rob's face was a little shocked when he heard girl, but by the end of the apt, and the idea had sunk in, He was already wrapped around her little finger. Here are the pictures from the ultrasound. We already love her so much! ENJOY!!!

Better Late Than Never

Wow! Have I been a procrastinator or what?!?!

I really need to work on taking pictures. Until I get better at that, here is a semi long update without pictures.

March 22nd: Rob and I had an ultrasound to check on Voldermort. We did this at Riverton Hospital. We LOVED the tech that did the ultrasound. She was so good with explaining everything, and spent a few minutes letting us know that Voldermort was still there, but was in fact a lot smaller, and then spent about 20 minutes letting us look at our baby. Rob is so cute at ultrasounds. He gets so into them and asks a lot of questions, and points a lot of things out. At this apt, we got to hear our babies heartbeat for the first time. what an amazing sound!! The tech also told us that the baby is measuring a week bigger. (YIKES!!) It was such a good experience that our next ultrasound- The BIG one- Where we find out what we are having is going to be at the same place, and I'm hoping we get the same tech. that is scheduled for May 2nd.



After our ultrasound, we went to dinner and the premier of "The Hunger Games!" we went with Mindi and Faa, Brittany and Kevin, My dad and his wife Rebecca, and her kids Morgan and Matthew. The movie was good, but I think with all they hype leading up to it, I was expecting a little more. All in all, it was good. I defiantly will buy the DVD when it comes out.

The following Monday, March 26th, was Our 2nd wedding anniversary. I cant believe how fast time has gone by! We both had to work, so we didn't really get to see each other, but it was worth mentioning.

March 28th: Rob had the day off, and I took the day off so we could hang out together since we didn't get to on our anniversary. We decided to venture to the new City Creek Center downtown. We took trax, and just walked around a little. When we got hungry, we went to the new Cheesecake factory. I tried something new, it was really good, but super spicy. with the wait to sit, the wait to order, and the weight with our food, I had gotten a HUGE headache. (I've been getting them really bad at night lately) We ended up leaving shortly after, and I came home and took a nap for a few hours. Yes- I know, I'm the life of the party. I cant believe its been 2 years. I love Rob so much!!

Conference weekend (March 31 and April 1) was super fun!! Saturday morning My sister was working, and her husband was out of town, so she asked if I could watch her kids. I got Korby at about 7:30AM, and brought him down and put him in my bed with me. Rob was getting ready to go golfing, He came in and we played with the baby for a little while. When Rob left, Korby played a little longer. Then fell asleep. I woke up to this at about 10.


After that, I headed to lunch with Robs family. His brother Brent, his wife Katy, and his sister Kim all came in from California to spend time with Robs grandma. we all pretty much hung out. Saturday night, the girls went to hobby lobby while the boys went to sports authority. We all met back up, had pizza, and then Robs siblings Cheri and Kelby, and Cindy and Brent came over after priesthood, and we had ice cream. The next morning, we went back up to robs moms and had breakfast, and watched the rest of conference.Rob had to leave for work and Brent and Katy left around 2PM to head back to California, and we just visited some more and then I headed home around 4:30PM. It was so good being with family for the weekend, and seeing Brent, Katy, and Kim. I love them! I cant wait to see them again!! I really am blessed to have such an amazing family!!

Tuesday April 3rd, We had another apt with the doctor. This time he just listened to the baby heartbeat, scheduled the next apt and ultrasound, and left. He said everything is looking great. He said that based on the babies heartbeat that day, it was a boy (130 BPM) I guess we will find out soon!!

Yesterday (April 5th) Rob sent me a text while I was at work asking what color I liked better on a car. I didn't think much of it, because since finding out about the baby, We have looked at A LOT of cars. He then called me a little later, and I told him I couldn't talk, because I was training someone, but I would call him when I was done. I got done training at about 5:30PM and shortly before I was going to call him, he sent me a text saying he had Baseball practice at 6. I asked if it was okay if I went, and he said no, because it was just hitting and throwing. I said okay, and went home. I didn't think much of it. Around 7:30, he called me and said he was just pulling into the neighborhood and for me to run out so we could go to the store. I was waiting for him to pull up in his black Truck. (In September we had got him a 2011 Nissan Titan) all of the sudden, a new car pulls into my driveway, with my husband driving it. :) apparently he wasn't really at practice, he was filling out the finial paperwork to get me a new car! He traded in his beloved truck (Which we both LOVE) to get a more "Family friendly" car. I'm not going into too much detail (once again Robs job) but I will say this much about it. Its a Nissan Murano. Leather, Power EVERYTHING (and I mean everything- like the back seats. you pull a leaver and they flip down. you hold a button, and they go back up by themselves- yeah, power EVERYTHING!!) sunroofs, rear backup camera, Bluetooth, push to start ignition. I LOVE IT.

and just because I found this picture I thought I would share it. I don't remember when it was. Lets just say... Sometimes Its so much fun to have a big kid for a husband, Man do I love this guy!
