18 Weeks and Growing

If you didn't notice already today is catch up on blogging day for me! I usually have nothing to blog about, but when I do I have a few things at once. But here is a wonderful exciting up date on my 18 weeks of being pregnant... Yeah! lol Well the morning sickness is all gone! I defiantly must say everyone is right this is the most enjoyable part of being pregnant! So I'm enjoying it while it lasts! My aches and pains haven't really hit yet unless I sit in a car for to long. She is moving more and more everyday! I still don't quite understand what people say about flutters in there belly but mine are more like popcorn popping in there or she's trying to tickle me. If I lay on belly I can usually tell where she is and Jaron will put his hand over her and can feel her move just barely. He loves it! My belly is growing at ginormous speeds! It's almost 1/4 of a inch a week. No joke! At first I thought I won't get to big I'm not going to be like my mom keeps telling me. I was hoping I would take after my Dad's mother and sisters instead of my moms side. No offense but they get huge and have huge babies. But the last few weeks have proven me wrong! Jaron was gone for 2 1/2 weeks and came home to a pregnant wife. He says it's so cute. Right before leaving again he told me that I was getting big and he saw it grow while he was home. I was like thank you I love you too! So the freak that I am, I get online and look at what people look like at 18 weeks. Well Jaron told me I was bigger than all the pictures we saw online. I was like Thank You... Again! Now my preparation has gone into preparing even more for the dreaded stretch marks how to prevent and how to get rid of them! For everyone that has been pregnant please tell me what you did and if it worked. Here are a few pictures of my growing belly. I must say thank goodness I'm not quite as big as the picture with my mom I was pushing her out there as much as possible because they were all teasing me. I have a few more weeks before I am there.

Park City

Both my parents have time share condo's up in Park City at the West Gate Resort. (Yes we all agree it is weird that they are divorced and both have them there. And no it was not split up in the divorce. They were both purchased afterward.) So I am going to Park City quite often anymore and I love it!! I was up there a month and a half ago during my dad's time. And this week is my mom's time to have it. So me and Jaron headed up there from the pumpkin patch and got there late Friday night and stayed until early Sunday afternoon. It is quite relaxing up there! I love going to the pool! It isn't quite as fun now that my time limit in a hot tub is around 10 minutes. (Yes I did check with my Dr. as long as I don't get over heated I'm fine. It's like saying you can't take a bath the whole 9 months.) I also love going to the gym. I didn't think I would miss my gym pass so much. Sadly I can't get a great run in anymore being 18 weeks prego with a very growing belly! It wears me out for the rest of the day so I just avoid it because yes I am lazy! I was able to go shopping at the outlets. I found some great deals for baby Alexis!

Pumpkin Patch

Last Friday Jaron and I went to the pumpkin patch with his family. It has turned into a great family tradition for the last 3 years. We went to the Big Red Barn in Santaquin and went on a tractor hay ride out to the pumpkin patch. Marshelle and I even found a little pumpkin for Alexis. We really had a blast with the family! Afterwards we went to dinner at Los Amigos, the family's favorite spot for smothered burritos. I didn't charge my camera so I used my iPhone to take most of my pictures so they didn't turn out wonderful.

I'm selling my baby

I am selling my baby! Not my unborn child but my beautiful car! It is hard to see her go but it is time to upgrade in size for my baby! It is a Infinite G35 Coupe 2004. She is gorgeous with black leather, sunroof, 6 Disc changer, Bose sound system, new tires, power seats, 17" rims, 290 HP, 3.5 liter V6, power seats, power windows, cruise control, and anti lock breaks. It has 60k miles. It has a roomy back seat but I am just wanting a 4 door vehicle. If you are interested or know anyone that is please let me know to come take a look at it!

15 weeks

I meant to to post this last week on my 15 week mark but I went computer less for a few days and wasn't able to get post it. If you have Facebook I'm sure you've already seen it. My belly is growing fast it seems! I can no longer hide the baby bump in anything I wear. It is very sad but also exciting for people to realize I have a baby and it's not just my gut poking out. In all the books and websites I read about being pregnant they were all saying at the 14 week mark that you may be showing just a little now. And I'm like yeah a little... It grew 1" in 2 weeks. In this picture I am 15 weeks. Jaron says I have to take all the belly pictures in this shirt now so you can see the progress. I am pretty sure I won't be able to wear this at my 40 week mark. I am now 16 weeks and enjoying this stage so much better than the first trimester. I'm getting my energy back and only through up on occasion. I can't wait for the finish line!

Alyssa's hair

Marcie was doing Alyssa's hair when we were over at my in laws the other day. She has so much hair it took 7 hours to do! These pictures are when her hair was all out. I love this picture of Jaron and his sisters! Now when you think doing your hair is pain be happy it doesn't take you 7 hours!

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!
