19 Weeks

~ 19 WEEKS ~
(7/17/14)

Well I am finally having some good to normal days so I figured I better start blogging about this journey called pregnancy! 

How far along: 19 weeks
Gender: Not finding out. It will be a surprise!
Weight gain: 4lbs? - just a guess. Doctor appointment in a couple days and I will find out.
Maternity clothes: Some shirts. Pants, yes. I can't stand the waist band being too tight so maternity pants it is. 
Stretch marks: Nope
Sleep: Good.
Best moment this week: I went 3 days without getting sick! This is huge, people, huge!
Miss anything:  laying on my stomach. A good deli sandwich sounds delicious as well. 
Movement: I think I have felt some flutters here and there, not sure though. 
Cravings: A bagel for breakfast has been a favorite lately. Milk is still a favorite anytime of the day. 
Queasy or sick: Most of the nausea has gone away, but I am still getting sick. 
Looking forward to: Dr appointment on Tuesday!

~BIRTHDAY~

First off I am trying to figure out some of the settings on here so my posts are coming up funky...I'll get it figured out eventually!

I had a pretty good birthday this year, it started the week before my birthday (because you should really celebrate a full week, not just one day in my book). Josh spoiled me and I loved each gift he gave me. I didn't get a picture of them all, but the loot included flowers, Merle Norman gift card, Jesus Lives book, Target gift card, DSW gift card, movie night, and the video I posted earlier today. I have to admit the video from our trip made me tear up (I have never done this over a gift), but that trip holds so many sweet memories and getting to relive them was precious. 

Due to the weather from yesterday Josh was off until noon and I didn't have to work today. After breakfast I opened all my lovely gifts from my family and Josh's parents. I was able to relax most of the day and got to end it with some yummy chocolate chip cookie cake that Josh bought and flowers from my parents!

~THANK YOU ALL~










Slacker

Clearly it has been more than awhile since my last post. I figured what better day to start blogging again than my BIRTHDAY! I will post later on all of that, but I thought I would share the video Josh put together from our road trip this past fall. He gave it to me today and I love it. We are no professionals but the memories and views we captured are precious. Enjoy!

Road Trip 4

Finally, we made it to Colorado!! We decided to just go day by day and make no plans while we were here. We spent two nights in Vail and enjoyed some hiking, the Betty Ford Alpine Garden and explored some of the nearby towns. Then we headed to Denver for one night and checked out the aquarium. 

View from our hotel 



Josh had to check out all the fish in the stream.

Beautiful lake we discovered and made dinner at. 



Until next time Vail....


My favorite fish is on the left.

Silly Guy...


I didn't get pictures, but right as we were leaving there was a huge crowd of people gathered. A couple was getting married under the water with the sharks. Such a creative idea!

Rocky Mountain National Park

View from our hotel





We took the Old Fall River Road through the park and up to Fall River Pass which is 11,796 ft above sea level. Gorgeous views!









This was probably the longest and funniest experience making brats. Granted the charcoal got a little wet and it was misting out, but you would think an Eagle Scout would have some extra tricks up his sleeve. ;-)

Colorado Springs

We spent a week in Colorado Springs and were able to see almost everything we had planned before all the flooding started. Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Royal Gorge, Air Force Academy, Pikes Peak, Manitou Springs, Cliff Dwellings, Cave of the Winds and the Olympic Training Center and more.

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

View from Will Rogers Shrine - above the zoo area.


Royal Gorge


The in-laws wanted to do some shopping.....

 Air Force Academy

 Pikes Peak

We took the train ride up. I really felt the altitude change and was quite dizzy while we were at the top.

Someone was a little excited to eat the donuts at the top!

Foggy day = no views at the top but we saw this awesome fox!

 Manitou Springs Cliff Dwellers

 Cave of the Winds
This was a fun tour, especially since it was raining outside.


Gotta have fun!

 Olympic Training Center

 The Melting Pot
On our last night Josh and I went here for dinner. 
Oh. My. Goodness.
Worth EVERY bite!


One last pictures with our trusty Nissan Xterra!

We absolutely loved every minute of this adventure and can't wait for the next one!
