Slight Change of Plans

We were planning on starting our adventure across the country today, but Andrew's work wants him to stay another week instead of him going to an orientation.  Since we were planning on moving we ended our lease at our apartment and we are spending the next week in another extended stay hotel.  It is really small, but we will survive, and it's only a week.

After the week we are planning on driving to Pittsburgh in four days and then going to Washington D.C. for a few days.  Then Andrew will start grad school on the 29th.  We will move into our new apartment September 1st and then go to Utah on the 2nd to visit family and go to some weddings for about a week.  Then we will be home in Pittsburgh for a while.  We've got a lot of traveling and adventures coming up.  It's also going to be rough to be homeless for a while, but fun.

So we went to the doctor today. . .

I have had dreams that our baby is going to be a boy, so obviously going into this appointment I was sure that our baby was a boy, but Andrew was pretty sure it was going to be a girl.

Andrew and I went to my last appointment in Albuquerque today and we had my 20 week ultrasound.  It was really fun to see our baby and it was big enough that we could actually see the head, spine, and arms. We also got to see 3D pictures of our baby.   It just makes all of this more real.

Oh, so our baby is going to be a boy.   We are both super excited!

Pregnancy Update

I am now 18 weeks pregnant.  I am starting to look and feel different.  My stomach is starting to stick out and I am definitely feeling wiggling in my lower abdomen.  It is fun to know that there really is something in there.

I have only had one ultrasound and that was back in the beginning of May so it will be exciting in 2 weeks when we get to see our baby again.  It will be exciting to see how it has changed.  Also we should be able to find out if our baby is a boy or a girl at this appointment, if our baby decides to cooperate.

Pittsburgh

Andrew and I went to Pittsburgh to find a place to live here is Andrew's version of it.  And since we spent the whole time together I decided I would write too much about it.

I am pretty sure I will get very turned around living in Pittsburgh, luckily my phone has a nice GPS on it and I will be able to find my way home when I get lost.  I have always been able to look at the mountains and know what direction I am facing, but there are no mountains only hills.  It is so green and beautiful right now.  I am skeptical about how bad the winters are.  I am pretty sure I have been through my fair share of cold winters and feel like I'll be ok, and if it's too cold I'll just stay inside.  We move out there in just less than a month.   I am excited to start this new adventure.

Family Visit

Andrew and I visited Logan for a few days, it was a surprise for our families.  Andrew's work paid for us to get some stuff done for moving our stuff.  We also were able to go to my friend Christian's wedding.  He is super happy, that makes me happy.

My mom and sisters came to visit us in Albuquerque.

We went to a Japanese Steakhouse.

 We went to the Roswell UFO Festival. Andrew had to work, so he couldn't come.

Lamp Post

We rode on the tram.

We had a fun visit with them.

Zoo

Andrew works 9 hours a day Monday through Thursday and 8 hours every other Friday and gets the other Friday off.  That makes for kind of long days for Andrew but I love that he gets every other Friday off.  Two weeks ago we went to the zoo and aquarium.  We had a good time.

Heartbeat

The other day Andrew and I went to the doctor's office and we heard our baby's heartbeat.  Yup we are having a baby!  Yay!  Our baby is due December 21st.  

That would make me at about 14 weeks pregnant.  I have been feeling pretty good, some days are better than others.  For the first little while making food made me sick.  Also I have been tired, but I have been feeling better lately.  Also I am feeling fatty, but that's supposed to happen.
