Putting up the X-Mas tree

First annual Christmas Cookie Party

21 weeks and 5 days

I go to the doctor tomorrow for my monthly appointment. I have been feeling the baby move almost on a daily basis now. It is starting to sink in that we are having a baby girl!

Hiking the White Tank Mountains

Towards the end of the hike Mallory tends to find every inch of shade. Here she is resting while we let other hikers by.

Here is a view of the West Valley from the top.

The weather was beautiful about 80 but a little hot for Mallory so we turned around early. I can really tell my endurance is not as it was before pregnancy.

We usually let Mallory off the leash and she stays only a few feet ahead and every so often turns to wait for us. Along the way we hear lots of funny comments "You could ride that thing when you get tired" or "That's a big dog".

Mom and Dad came to town for the weekend and Grandma Kim brought baby gifts. She found the greatest diaper bag ever and a couple blankets and towels. I see a green/brown theme coming. I still haven't bought anything...I feel like a need to wait another month or so.

Golfing

Trying to keep my eye on the ball.
Brad and Mom won the game of 'best ball' by one hole.

Dad and I made a good team minus my horrible drive.

17 weeks

This is a belly shot at 17 weeks. My co-workers are beginning to tell I'm pregnant. Brad and I go for an ultrasound friday and hopefully we will find out whether it is a boy or girl!

trip to Santa Fe

This is little miss Rees. She was a trooper the whole weekend as us girls enjoyed oldtown Santa Fe.

Amie and I flew to Santa Fe, NM last weekend to see my sister and her family. They live in a beautiful house near the mountains outside Santa Fe. We enjoyed checking out historic downtown and I enjoyed one of the best virgin mojitos as the girls enjoyed their wine. Autumn was nice enough to share some of her maturnity tops with me. I haven't had to break them out yet but I know that day is coming. Thankfully all my clothes still fit comfortably.

11 weeks and feeling bloated

Friends and family have been telling me to take pics and I have been procrastinating...so here is the first. It took Brad three tries till he got one I liked.

This is how it all started....

It all started with the 'Sex and the City Movie'. My friend and I went to see the movie and when I got home poor Brad was taken away from 'game night' to have some one on one time with me if you know what I mean. A few weeks later we went to Farmington for my b-day and Brad had told my mom he thought I was pregnant....he didn't tell me till the drive home. We got home around 9 that night and I took the test and it was POSITIVE. I didn't believe it and took two more just to make sure.
