We are alive...and growing!!!

Well, as always I haven't posted in quite a while so I will have to do a big update on what's been going on in our lives. I am officially 30 weeks pregnant now...only 10 weeks away now! Crazy. I have definitely grown since the last belly shot. It is amazing once you finally pop, its all over from there. We are so excited to meet our little girl though, we can't wait! I'm not gonna lie though ladies...I can't decide if I'm more nervous about giving birth or breastfeeding? Both freak me out big time-PAIN!

Anyway, we spent a great Christmas in Vegas with my family. We saw my whole family and of course we had to do the comparison shot of me and my sis-in-law Jen. My dad got in the pic too...he gives us some fierce competition with his beer belly. This is us at 6 months pregnant.We had a great Christmas break with the family. We had quite the twist at the end though because my parents gave us one of their "old white trucks" (the old roomies know what this means) and it needed a few more things fixed on it then we had planned to begin with. It is a long story but it involved me flying home on Sunday to get back to work, Aaron not being able to drive home until Tuesday..running out of gas in the middle of the mountains in Colorado due to a broken gas gauge..no cell phone service..a ride to the gas station in a big rig..and getting home 14 hours after leaving. Let's just say we're so glad that Aaron finally made it home.

On a more exciting note...on January 12th was our first anniversary!!! It has gone by so fast. I'll tell you this too, I never would have thought that I would be 6 1/2 months pregnant on our first anniversary. Sometimes surprises come in small packages right?! We have heard about this thing called a babymoon where a couple will go on a vacation before the baby comes, so we had a combined anniversary/babymoon mini vacation. Aaron booked this fabulous room at one of the tallest hotels in downtown Denver, and we had a great weekend there eating out and enjoying the view and the nice hotel. Happy anniversary honey....you are the best husband a girl could ask for!I headed back to Vegas towards the end of January for a baby shower. Let's just say it was more than fabulous and so good to see all of my good friends and family! I have never seen so much pink, fluff, and cute clothes in my life. Aaron already a little upset because the baby has a better wardrobe than he does! It was great to see everyone and show off the crazy growing belly. It has been so fun getting ready for our little girl to arrive. We are counting down the days/weeks. Here are my BFFs Melissa and Emily. Emily even flew down from Salt Lake for the shower. and here is the belly update...I've grown a bit from the last shot huh?! 10 weeks left and counting!
