Utah State Fair and 38 Special

Jaron and I went to the State Fair last week and also went to the 38 Special concert. It was fun to see the animals. We were able to pet the goats and I also learned a little bit about them as well. I thought the owner was cutting the ears off on some of the goats... well that's not really the case. There were 3 different types of breeds, also there are goats from Africa. So now you all learned what I learned. I was a little disappointed with all the Boothe's at the fair. They all had the same thing in them and they weren't anything that cool. We did get a picture of us on a pin. I use to think they were so cool when I was 5 so Jaron decided he get me one. Super cool! Then we went to the 38 Special concert. I didn't have any idea who they were when Jaron told me he wanted to go. But come to find out I did know a few of there songs. It was a very fun concert and free can't beat that!

It's a Girl!!

We cheated! Me and Jaron were at the mall yesterday and happen to wander in the Fetal Picture store. (That is where they do the gender testing for the baby.) Well we decided to find out what we were having. I'm barely long enough to tell what it is so we were skeptical it would really work. They told us if it was to early I could come back in a few weeks and try again for free or if they are wrong when my Dr. does it at 20 weeks we get my money back. So we were like what the heck. Well he tells us Sanchez is a Girl!! We didn't believe it because I really thought it was a boy! It is also harder for the place to mess up if it was a boy. So we kept asking "are you sure?" "I don't believe it!" So she is quite wiggly and moves a ton so we were able to see her in quite a few different positions and he kept showing us how it was a girl and what a boy would be like. So I pretty much believe it. I'm still a little in shock because I really didn't expect a girl. Jaron also was in quite shock too. We didn't care what it was as long as it was healthy but I need to buy stuff and couldn't until i knew what it was. We are very excited for our new little girl to come. We were able to see her tiny fingers, legs, arms, nose, and her pouty bottom lip. Also she yawned while we were looking at her. So cute! So lets hope this place wasn't wrong and we will be meeting Alexis in March!! (The bottom picture is of her yawning. We have more pictures of why she is a girl I just didn't want to post them.)

Boy or Girl

I want to know what you think I'm having a boy or a girl?! I have put a quiz off to the side but I don't know how to put it in the actual blog. I have a lot of people telling me they think it is a girl. Both me and Jaron think it is a boy. My family can't imagine me with a boy because I have never been around little boys. I didn't get brothers until I was 16 and I wasn't around them much so I'm pretty clueless on boys. And Jaron's family can't imagine with a girl first. So it will be really interesting to find out what it is! We both don't have a preference what it is. We just can't wait until it gets here! So let me know what you think and we'll see if your right in just a few weeks!!

11 Weeks

I'm officially 11 weeks today! It seems like forever that I have been pregnant and the same time it feels like I just barely am (which is the truth)! I'm getting very excited to get out of my first trimester! I feel like my life revolves around being pregnant right now! I'm either hungry, puking, nauseous, tired, overly happy, overly cranky, needing to pee, and I just am always just crazy feeling. It is just the start of my new life with baby Sanchez.

Lake Powell

Jaron and I went on a last minute Lake Powell trip with our friends to end the summer! It was a ton of fun! It started with driving down in the middle of the night. That was my least favorite part of the trip. But the rest of the time it was very relaxing time! It was also very hot!! After the first day I realized I needed to stay out of the sun more than usual. Weird how pregnancy makes the heat affect you different ha ha. I wasn't the only pregnant girl there though my friend Sydni is 30 weeks. On Saturday we took a great boat ride and saw a lot of gorgeous canyons. The boys had a lot of fun being boys like cliff jumping, air chairing, wake boarding, fishing, trying to push boulders down the mountain, and hiking. In all it was nice to get away, enjoy the sun, and we got a great tan!

My Prego Craving Cake

My pregnant cravings have been getting stronger lately. Like every pregnant person I'm very picky on what I can eat right now, but the cravings are just crazy! Some days it's I see something on TV or hear it and I'm like yeah that sounds great but a true craving just pops in my head and that's all I want! Jaron was trying to get me breakfast one day and I just kept saying I wanted cake from Costco with cream cheese frosting and cheesecake filling. Well that craving didn't go away so a few days later we go to Costco and they didn't have that type of cake already made up so we ordered it. They only make a 48 serving size cake as well. But what I want Jaron usually will get it for me! So we ordered a cute princess cake and wrote on it. I'm sure the Costco people were laughing the whole time they made it because I would. Who in there right mind orders that large of a cake just because it sounds good... Oh wait a crazy pregnant girl! The cake was AWESOME!! I loved it! We took it to Lake Powell with us so I got some help eating it luckily or I would be quite obese afterward!

Baby Sanchez's first picture!!

I went to the Dr. the other day and I was able to see my baby for the first time!! I was so excited!! I found out I am officially 8 1/2 weeks and due March 16 2010! It was the coolest thing to be able to see my little Sanchez! I could see it's little heart beat but it was still to soon to hear it. It is about the size of a gummy bear which is a perfect way to compare it because of the tiny arms and legs. Now just waiting to find out what Sanchez is so it can get it's real name!

The HOT HoT Zoo!!

I took Alyssa and Addison to the zoo a few days ago. I've been bugging Jaron to take me for a while and it never happened so we went with out him while he was gone working. We had a lot of fun but it was REALLY hot!! Lets just say I don't think I'll be going in 97 degree weather again. We were able to see a baby white tiger! It was so cute! Enjoy all the pictures!

Enjoying Life

Not to much has happened the last few weeks. Jaron had 5 weeks off with a small 2 day trip in the middle of that. It was so nice to actually have him home and live a normal life of seeing your husband everyday. I haven't had a month like that for almost 3 years! We did celebrate our 4 year Anniversary and we forgot it. I thought it was the day after and he just forgot until 3:30 that afternoon. It was sad we haven't been married long enough to forget and the last 2 years Jaron has always been out of town for it. Jaron made me a awesome dinner and that was about all we did to celebrate it. Super exciting! Baby Sanchez is doing great so far! I go in for my first ultrasound next week and then I will officailly know how far along I am. I can not wait! I'm really enjoying being pregnant! To know a little baby is growing inside me is so exciting! I just can not wait until Sanchez gets here!! It's hard finding out so early because now I will be pregnant forever! My wonderful morning sickness kicked in 2 weeks ago. I don't know who calls it morning sickness because I get worse the farther the day goes. My taste buds are always changing. The only real craving I've had was for a smoothie one day. Jaron kept asking me what I wanted to eat and I got so mad because I told him over 10 time I just wanted a smoothie and I guess that was not considered food. I am also living on crackers and Zofran everyday to try not to puke, and I just started taking B12 too. For the most part it works but every once in while it doesn't. I was lucky enough to get my stitches taken out last week and I my eye looked like it was on the mend. Until a few trips to the porcelain god and I was even luckier to get my whole suture redone in my eye on Monday. Jaron has been gone this week so I went and stayed with my mom and dad to have them baby me afterwards. Even with a few minor bumps in the road I am still so happy I am pregnant and would never take it back! I have waited long enough to have my baby Sanchez and I am just to excited!!

Harley is so overprotective of me it is funny. He will get so upset if Jaron hugs me and we pretend fight and he goes after Jaron and play bites him. Nobody messes with his mom! His favorite thing to do is snuggle with me and he thinks he's a baby and loves being held like one. I am so glad to have my furry kids to take care of me while Jaron is gone!

Here are some great pictures of us up the canyon with Jaron's family. One day we went up for hot dogs and marshmallows. The other time we went up with Jaron's family and my nieces and nephew and played in the water.

Jaron and I went to see The Fray last week with our friends Sydni and Jarrett. It was a good chill concert. They are great live.
