IT'S A BOY

We received the best Christmas gift this year... we found out we are having a son! Here are some pictures of our little man. Merry Christmas!!

Here he is spread eagle :)
This was the first view we got of him so there was no hiding he was a boy!

Below is a side view-You can see the side of his head. His hands are covering his face in embarrassment after being on display earlier:) Poor little guy.

This is his profile. You can see his sweet little nose and even the indention of his ear if you look close.

This is one of my favorites because you can see his two little feet(left hand side) and he is holding up his hand. We think he was waving to us.

And here are our son's legs. The doctor said they were long and muscular. Naturally Josh is already enrolling him in football and wrestling! Look at his sweet little bottom.

Another profile- You can see his spinal cord

It is amazing how you can love someone so much that you haven't even met! Having each other and now preparing for our son is the best Christmas gift of all. I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed holiday!

To Buy or Not Buy

So Josh and I are hoping to take the next big step...That's right we are house hunting!

Below I have posted a picture of our potential beauty. It is an old Victorian home built in 1890. That's right 1890 (yikes!!) Keep in mind this one is a fixer upper! Our goal is to find the ugly duckling in the desirable neighborhood and fix it up, and hopefully when we sell in a few years we will be able to make a profit. If any of you have watched "Property Ladders" or "Flip this House" then you know what I am talking about.:) We just want to find a property that will be a good investment. Buying a home alone is a big step, but all the renovations we need to do is a little nerve racking (Luckily Josh is handy). Anyways, we are just trying to get some final things in order before we make an offer! AHHH!!! Hopefully no one snags this house from underneath us before we can seal the deal. Wish us luck!!

I love Christmas

This weekend Josh and I put up our Christmas tree and decorations. It was so much fun. It was a day filled of hot cocoa and Christmas music!!! Last year at this time Josh was still in Iraq. I just felt so blessed to have him home. So much can change in a year!!










Check out my growing baby bump











Here is my sweet hubby working hard!









Our first Christmas tree as husband and wife!!









My latest profile
17 weeks pregnant and still growing! I've started feeling the baby move! I just feel like a small flutter, but it is the most exciting feeling ever.

Josh's 28th Birthday!

I know this post is late, but on November 13th Josh turned the BIG 2-8!! In fact this was his first birthday we have gotten to celebrate together. For Josh's 26th and 27th Birthday he was deployed in Iraq. So in honor of this special occasion I thought it was only appropriate to celebrate in style....Buffalo Bills style.

Josh is a huge Buffalo Bills fan! In fact all he asked for his birthday was Buffalo Bills gear! Below are pictures from his party. His birthday was on a Thursday so it was just the two of us, but after being apart for so long it was a perfect way to celebrate! At least this year I didn't have to mail his cake half way around the world!









I started by decorating our apartment in all blue and red (Bills colors)








What is a football themed party without a football cake?

And of course here he is in his new Buffalo Bills hoodie and beanie!

I bought him other gifts, but naturally these were his favorites.

Isn't he cute?!?

Happy Birthday Sweetheart! I was so happy to share that day with you...finally! I love you!

CATCH UP

I know...I know... I'm a slacker. Its been over a month since I have last blogged so here is a sneak peek of what Josh and I have been up too!!

Our Trip to Kansas City for the NASCAR race!
As many of you know Josh is a big NASCAR fan, and an even bigger Jeff Gordon fan! This past month we were lucky enough to take a trip to Kansas City for a weekend filled of cars, engines, and more! We had "Pit Passes" so we were right in the action for the entire race. We got meet numerous drivers including Josh's favorite, Jeff Gordon. Needless to say, Josh was like a kid in a candy store:) Go 2-4!!!!









Josh's brother and his wife Kelly...thank goodness I had another girl there:)









The Dream Come True... Here is Josh getting Jeff's Gordon's autograph. I was frantically chasing them just to get this picture:)

Twelve Weeks PREGO!!!

All is well in baby-ville. I just had my 12 week appointment where Josh and I got to hear the heart beat for the first time. It was unreal. I can't believe I have this little person growing inside me! Below is my latest profile picture. My belly hasn't quite "popped" yet, instead I just look like I had one to many donuts:) Morning sickness is finally gone, but food aversions are still going strong. I pretty much am a vegetarian now since the sight, smell, or thought of meat makes me want to lose my lunch. Did any other moms out there go through that?

Half Way Over!

The season is halfway to an end with only 3 home games left. Below are pictures of the girls and I in my favorite chap uniform. It also rained on us during the game, which I love!! I just doesn't feel like football without a little precipitation. What a BLAST!!!!

Happy Halloween!!

We just LOVE Halloween. My hubby and I dressed up as...you guessed it...BACON & EGGS! It was so much fun. That night we went to a Halloween party with a bunch of my friends. It was a blast. Josh also had his friend, Matt, in from Tennessee which was perfect for him!

Now that's a "HOT DOG"!

I know I'm a dork, but I just couldn't resist dressing Kiwi up.

Mel and I at the Halloween Party!

BIG NEWS!!

I'M PREGNANT
Although I've already spilled the beans to a few of you, I wanted to wait until my first doctors appointment before offically announcing it. Yesterday it was finally confirmed, I am 7 weeks pregnant and my due date is May 12th...YEAH!




















THE BABY STORY:
We found out about our little bundle of joy about 3 weeks ago. As you can see our initial reaction was just as surprised as you are:) I love Josh's "deer in head lights" look....it is classic! Anyways, it was right around our 3 month anniversary when I just started having the feeling I was pregnant. I can't explain it, but I just knew! We took 2 pregnancy tests and they both came out negative, but I just wouldn't let it go! About 3 days later (after the torture of listening to me spaz out) Josh decided to humor me, so we took a thrid test! And who would have thought it, a little blue plus sign appeared. I'm sure this isn't the normal reaction, but immediately we just started cracking up. We just couldn't believe it! We still wanted more proof so we rushed back to the store and got 2 more tests (I'm sure the people at Walgreen's thought we were crazy!). + and +....WOW! It was amazing. I think we went through every emotion these last few weeks...Joy, Shock, Fear, and of course Joy again.

Yesterday, we saw the first picture of our baby. All though the baby is only the size of a blueberry we could see the heart beating! It was pumping so fast! It was amazing. I just looked at Josh and could not believe we made this together....It was so beautiful.

MY 2-4 Birthday!

So Friday was my 24th Birthday, and it was such a wonderful day. My day started off with numerous phone calls from family and friends, which completely made my day. Later Josh and I had a softball game. Yes, that's right a softball game! For those of you that don't know Josh and I are in a Co-ed softball league with a bunch of our friends. The game was a blast, but we got slaughtered! We are now 1-1. We have to step it up if we want that championship trophie :)

After the game I got the best surpise of all. Josh totally faked me out and threw me a "Jeff Gordon 2-4" Surprise Party. To get you all up to speed, Josh is a HUGE Jeff Gordon (#24) fan, and we both had joked that my 24th birthday had to be done in true Jeff Gordon style. I think he was more excited for my 24th Birtday than I was. My party was complete with pizza, cake, all of our friends, and of course Jeff Gordon streamers. Josh is such a wonderful husband! He always has these cute, quirky ways of romancing me. I love him so much.

softball game!

SEASON OPENER

So yesterday was the Season Opener, Broncos vs. Chargers! It was such a fun game! It is amazing to see how the spirit in Invesco transforms from Pre Season to now. The crowd goes CRAZY!!! I just feel so lucky to be apart of this organization doing what I love most. My favorite part of yesterday was definately the military salute and fly over. I get emotional everytime. Last year at this time it was such a different experience for me. Josh was still in Iraq and had been for the past 12 months! It is so nice to know that he is home now and safe!


*Here is a picture from our first field rehearsal! It started pouring on us right in the middle of our dance "It only happens when it rains" Wierd huh? At least we had a few hours before game time to get dried off.

Kiwi and Caesar

I just couldn't resist posting our little babies! If you didn't guess already Kiwi is my tiny, adorable yorkie, and Caesar is Josh's English bulldog. Kiwi is 2 years old and Caesy is 5. We just love our dogs to death. When I leave for the day I just can't wait to get home and cuddle my little Kiwi. That is after I cuddle my handsome husband :)

3 Month Anniversary

So yesterday was Josh and I's 3 month anniversary. I can't believe we have already been married 3 months. It was such a wonderful day. Josh started the morning by making me breakfast in bed, which was so romantic. He always manages to find little ways to surprise me. He is such a good husband, and sometimes I wonder how I got so lucky.
