Baby Update

OOH Baby!

This baby might be the death of me! I am about a million times better sickness wise, but oh man am I in pain. I have had the problem of the pinched sciatic nerve since the very beginning and it only grows worse as baby grows bigger. With that said, she is most definitely getting bigger and stronger by the day. I can feel her even when I'm not paying attention to trying to feel her. Her jabs are now in my ribs, which doesn't feel so great. I feel her mostly at night and in the morning. When I am on my side she pushes so hard it sometimes makes me cringe. It is like she is trying to get out of me the wrong way, through my ribs and out my side! It makes me happy to know, even with all the pain, that she is strong and healthy! I love this baby girl so much already and I am so happy when I feel her moving around. I miss her when she is still.

We still don't have a name.... She is just baby for now, and whatever silly name Jon thinks of for the moment that he is talking to her. We hope to decide soon, I think she very much wants a name soon!

We can't wait for her to come! Only 3 more months from today! I am officially 27 weeks. It is a very exciting time in our lives. We can't wait to meet our little baby girl:)

Our new Place:)

Our cute home:)

Baby's room:) not much done to it just yet ha!

It's been a long time..I know.

Well...it's official, I'm a terrible blogger!

I have my reasons though...

First, I don't feel like anyone really reads or cares what is going on in our lives.

The only people I think that even have us on there blog lists are people I know know whats going on in our life. Maybe I'm wrong..If not, let me know! Ha.

Also, I seriously am the worst writer ever!

And, I HATE loading pictures to the computer! Macs don't make it as easy to put pictures on the computer. It doesn't have one of those slots to put your card in. So I have to find the connector every time I want to load pictures. And I like to show, rather then write, about whats goin on!

Well, I will now tell you all what is new in our lives since the end of 2009!

-We had an awesome Christmas break hanging out and being with our families. It's always good to be with them.

-We MOVED!!! I was so sick of that stupid apartment. We had to climb about a million stairs to get to our place. It made grocery shopping even more of a hassle then it already is. I was happy to make all those trips up and down for the last time to move all our stuff out of there! So long Irving Schoolhouse, we will not miss you!

*We now live in 4plex. I barely even notice other people even live here, it just seems like a cute little house to me. Which is what it is! We love it here! And only ONE step up to get inside, it is so nice!

*I will post some pictures of the new place, it's taken me the 4 months we've lived here to finally decorate it:) It's officially homey now. It's a great place in a cute little neighborhood.

-Jon started another semester of school. He is such a hard worker and I am so proud of him for working so hard to finish up school! He is gone a lot lately studying like a good student should be! He will be done with this semester and the end of this month and will be taking 4 credits during the month of May, then it is SUMMER TIME!!

-The most exciting thing that has happened since the beginning of the year is...We have a new addition to the family growin away inside me! We are due August 25th but we are hoping sooner, before Jon starts up school again. We are having a little GIRL and we couldn't be happier! I wanted a girl so bad, so I am so happy! Jon will be such a good dad and we are so excited!

*So it hasn't been a fun pregnancy, besides the fact that I'm super excited for the baby that makes it more fun. The whole beginning I was suppppperrr sick! I am barely getting over the sickness and I am finally able to eat whatever I want, I don't know if that is too great for me cause I think I eat wayy to much now.

*I was sick all day long everyday throwing up anything I would put down. The toilet was my place to be in the house. I hated it and I felt so bad for Jon having to deal with me and that annoying sound of vomiting.

*Jon has been so good to me, getting me water and food whenever I need to eat (which is a lot) and dealing with all my complaining of pains and just all the hormones that have made me a psycho!

*Now that I'm all better and have energy we will now begin the baby room and get ready for our precious little girl to come:)

Well that's pretty much all thats happened in the new year!

I'll put pictures up of everything as soon as I ask Jon to put pictures on the computer;)

Gingerbread Houses!!

It's starting to feel more like Christmas time! It has only snowed a little and it doesn't stay like it does in Idaho:( I can't wait to go to Idaho! It is just really cold here! I wish it would snow more!

We have put up what little Christmas decorations we do have, but our house is slowly getting emptier with moving, so it looks a little bit lame ha.

Classes are almost done for me! I only have one final to take next week! Jon still has lots to do. He still has class like usual and he's still got all his finals. Poor guy... We are both ready to be done with school right now!

This last weekend, my mom came down with her friends and we all went to lunch! We had a lot of fun and mom had lots of fun hangin out with Ava. I went shopping with her and her friends afterwards, and I wasn't planning on it, and the shoes I wore were real high heals...My feet were killing me!!

The girls at lunch!

Last night me and Jon made a gingerbread house to get in the Christmas spirit:) It was a lot of fun! The frosting started getting hard to squeeze out, so we kind of gave up..so our gingerbread house is kinda ghetto! But we had lots of fun:)

Putting rocks around our ice skating rink:)

All the yummy candy!

Our rock path! I love this the best~ it's those chocolate candyies that look like real rocks!

After we decided to give up, I just dumped lots and lots of powdered sugar everywhere so it looked like snow:)

Great News!!!

WE ARE MOVING!!

So a couple Sundays ago, Jon and I decided to go on a drive up and down the neighborhoods around here. The houses are really cute and I like to do stuff like that. Go look at old houses and wish I could live in a big old cute house! haha. So as we were driving we saw a for rent sign and we thought what the heck so we called. There are TONS of houses for rent around there, but this house looked like it had somethin special. The guy called us the next day and told us all about it and we were interested so we went to look at it. I fell it love with it! It is soo cute and they re did everything so the kitchen has brand new everything! So next thing we know, we are moving there! We put a deposit down, we got the keys and we can start moving in whenever! I am SO stoked to get out of this little apartment. It will be so nice not having to climb 8 million stairs! We won't have a great view of the city anymore, but we get a new view of the mountain just up the way! I am so excited I can't even explain it!

We took pictures today but they aren't that great, so pictures will be up soon hopefully!

Thanksgiving Break 09

This break me and Jon went home to Idaho to have TWO yummy Thanksgiving dinners! We first went to Jon's parents for the first and just had it with his immediate family. Then we went to my parents and had another dinner with all my extended family on the Decker side! I was really nice to be able to relax and just be with family. We had so much fun and I am looking forward to having two Thanksgiving dinners EVERY year!

We also got a chance to go snowboarding with Jon's friend Cody. It was opening day at Targhee. The snow wasn't that great but it was good enough for me to be able to get down the mountain and keep up without falling on my butt on the ice! On the last run the boys decided to go up the lift, and instead of goin down we hiked up the mountain! I had a real hard time climbing up that high in deep snow and in snow clothes! We had a lot of fun and I can't wait to hit the slopes again, justas long as we don't have to hike a mountain agiain:)

FALL-tastic!!

Just catching up!

Lots has happened since I last blogged. Ha.. I guess I've just been too bust to blog.. well its actually loading pictures and taking the time to write, so it's laziness that keeps me from blogging. At the beginning of the month all of Jon's old roommates came to town for the Westminster Alumni soccer game. His friend Cody also cam to visit. We had a fun weekend!

The boys after the game!

SNOW!!!

The first snow of the season:) I woke up to this! It made me sooo happy! I absolutely looove the snow! I am so excited for winter, it's my favorite season! These snowflakes were huge! They didn't last long though, its been so nice lately. This weekend we will hopefully go snowboarding, the resorts are open! Yay!

CONCERTS AND FAMILY

Also in October, Jon's brother came to town and stayed with us. We went a Quietdrive concert with a bunch of other bands before. It was a good time! Its nice to hang out with family! This is us with the lead singer of Quietdrive.

HALLOWEEN

You can't forget about the main reason for the month of October!! HALLOWEEN! We had such a fun Halloween this year. We dressed up as 80s workout people. We went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse with my sister her husband and their friends. Then we went to my Aunt Diane's to visit and show off cute baby Ava's costume. Then we went to my sister and Jared's friends for a party!

The whole group at the party

80's workout people! woot!

Me and big sister

Our pumpkin we carved at the party. We got 2nd place:)

Before the party!

CUTE LITTLE AVA

We love this little cutie! Me and Jon got a chance to babysit Ava while her mom and dad went to dinner and picked up a friend from the airport. She was so good for us. She wouldn't stop smiling, she was so happy to be hanging out with her aunt and uncle I guess. We had a lot of fun and hope to do it again soon, we love Ava!

BABY SHOWER FUN

I got to go down to Idaho also and go to my good friend Alex's baby shower! Our whole group of friends from cheer was reunited! It was a lot of fun and I am also very excited for Alex to have a cute little addition to her family:)

TRIPLE DATE AND IDAHO!!!

This last weekend we went home to Idaho just to hang out and visit the family! We also got to hang out with some of my friends and go out on a date with them! We went to the new movie A Christmas Carol, which I have to say was a very creepy movie. It was good though, I just wasn't expecting it to be so scary especially for being a kid movie! It definitely got me in the mood for Christmas time! I can't wait for it:)

We watched the movie 3D style:) Us in our sweet glasses!
Me and my sister and mom went to my little sisters basketball game, and also went to the museum to meet up with my little sister for a field trip, my mom was the chaparone/bus driver for the trip.. Maija-Liisa decided to have a staring contest with the buffalo, while we were stranded to the Idaho history part of the museum cause we couldn't get the stroller down the stairs with millions of 8th graders crowding around with no manners to get out of the way of a girl with a huge stroller and a baby!


Hopefully I will be able to get myself to blog sooner this next time!!!
