Baby Stuff

I've started looking for a few things for the baby. I haven't made any decisions on colors, but there are a few cribs I really like. Tell me which one you like better. There's this one from Target (well, it's out of stock there but they have it other places) or this one from Babies R Us.
























I'm in love with this diaper bag.


And I might get one of these to have the baby sleep in for the first few weeks on our bed (don't worry its a big bed).

There are a few bedding sets I really like, but I don't really want the whole set. So, I think I'll just have my mom make something (again, aren't Grandmas the best?). I'll probably go fabric shopping this weekend.
(So, I'm totally impressed with myself, two posts in a row and I put links in this one...hopefully they work).

First Belly Pics

Finally, I know you've all been waiting with much anticipation...here are some belly pics. I am 21 weeks this week and the belly is really starting to show. It's getting closer to definitely being a pregnant belly, which is nice, I don't like the could be fat/could be baby stage. I'm not totally out of it, but soon hopefully. Oh, this won't get a picture, but I can now turn my belly button inside out. Totally disgusting, it makes my family and Colby shudder a little, but its pretty funny! It looks like a donut. And the baby moves all the time. I feel like she's using my insides as toys sometimes.

Hope you enjoy those!!

We found out this week that it is definitely a GIRL!!! We are very excited, Colby was kind of hoping for a boy to keep up tradition in his family (all his brothers had boys first, and his sister had a girl), but we're not good with keeping up with traditions. We have a name (or two) picked out, but we're going to wait until she's born to make a decision. Sorry! On Tuesday after we found out it was a girl, my mom called and asked if she could come over. She had gone to Old Navy and few other stores and bought the cutest outfits. Aren't Grandmas the best????



Okay, here are the real pictures. Honestly, I hate pictures of myself, especially right now, so don't be too mean and tell me I have a fat belly (and I know I need a tan, but that'll have to wait for now). I'm a little sensitive (surprise, surprise).

I am sticking it out a little in that last one, that's not all belly, but that is how I feel most of the time. And here's a comparison from 6 weeks ago at 15 weeks. (I know, I'm a dork and held up a sign so I could remember when it was).


Sorry the pictures took so long! Maybe in another 20 weeks I'll post more:).

Kalisa Jones

I have a new niece! Kalisa Jones arrived last Wednesday, November 12th at 3:58 pm. She was 6 lbs 11 oz and 19.5 in long, and so cute. Wednesday night they realized she was having some trouble breathing, she is good now, but had to be on oxygen for a few days. They are still in the hospital until Saturday finishing out the 10 days of antibiotics. Here are a few pictures:
This one doesn't show her face, but show's how tiny she is (that's her IV in her arm that they leave in to give her the antibiotics).

We are all totally in love with her and can't wait until she comes home!

I have a great husband!

I came home from work today at noon for Colby to go to school and thought I would be good and take the trash out of my car. Well, as I was throwing it away (in the outside trash can), my keys went in too. I was still in my work clothes (and wouldn't have dug in the trash can anyway), so my wonderful husband came outside and dug them out for me! It was too funny not to take pictures. Poor guy!



And here they are...all covered in oil! I disinfected them really good (or well, I never know when to use either).

Our Third Anniversary

Today, Colby and I have been married for three years! Wow, how time flies. I'm not a real cheesy, romantic person, but I do have to say that I love him even more now than I did the day we got married and I love being married to him. I've felt really blessed lately and being married to him for time and all eternity is one of the things that I'm blessed with in my life. Here's a few pictures of our wedding day.










We went to Memphis this weekend for a little day anniversary trip. We went to the temple, out to lunch, and went shopping (mainly for baby stuff even though we didn't buy any). I didn't take any pictures, but we had a great time (although we were really tired by the end).

We've had a great three years (well, the first six months were a little trying), but it's just gotten better. And I'm excited to see what life holds for us, especially with this special little one on the way. Our lives will never be the same (but in a good way)!
