Christmas Catalog Moment

Whether Trevin knows it or not we had one of those Christmas catalog moments tonight. You know exactly what I mean....those pictures that you see in like the JC Penny's catalog around Christmas time. No, I am by no means saying Trevin and I look like models. I'm just telling it as I see it. The husband is putting up Christmas decorations while the pregnant wifey is helping with the big cheesy grin on her face. Well that happened to tonight. It was completely perfect, we had the Christmas music going, Trevin decorated the house while I attempted to help, the state of Utah is on the verge of the biggest snow storm that has happened in a bajillion years, and now we're watching the Christmas Carol. How awesome are the holidays!!

Blog-worthy Date

As Trevin and I were pulling up at our apartment tonight I said, "aww that was a fun date, thanks!" and in his super sarcastic 15 year old girl voice he said, "OMG you should blog about it" so maybe I will do just that!

Wallstreet anyone? We went and saw the movie and I LOVED it! I'm pretty sure Trevin was super bored but every time I leaned over to ask him he acted like he loved it. He was a good sport for taking me though.

In order to bring Trevin back to life after 2 hours of having financial terms spewed at him we went to In-N-Out. Yup it was great and no I didn't eat a burger....I'm not that crazy yet.

This picture wasn't taken for blogging but to sent to Trevin's dad just to spice up the night with some jealously....apparently he was extremely jealous and this was the text Trevin received back after sending our In-N-Out picture.

Yeah, not too pleased I guess....maybe it means he will come visit us/In-N-Out more :)

Anyways the night concluded with a little shopping trip to Walmart and no night would be a good one for Trevin without sports so here we are on the couch watching basketball.

16 and pregnant and our first trial run

16 weeks pregnant that is. Even though I really do have a slight obsession with the show 16 and pregnant, its a Tuesday night staple in our house, feel free to come watch with me! Anyways Trevin took a picture of my 16 week belly. Here it is...enjoy

On another note, the other day our awesome friends Brooke and Sam needed a babysitter for my best friend Connor aka their 6 month old son. Of course I agreed! Me and him are tight like peanut butter and jelly. Anyways this was Trevin and my first trial run together with a little baby. It was great, Trevin cooked dinner, did the dishes, AND cleaned the house while I played with Connor. If that was anything like the real deal this baby thing is going to be great. Connor fell asleep in my arms after playing for an hour....SO easy. I'm sure this baby thing will be a piece of cake....well maybe not but I'm sure it will be fun!

Win Big--Make A Guess

Ok guys, my sister-in-law Ashley just made this cool thing on some baby website but its pretty much awesome so everyone has to go make a guess. Seriously go guess the details of our baby and you could win big! I don't exactly know what the prize will be yet but something awesome like getting to babysit our child or something. Either way its fun so go guess!!

Instructions Required

Saturday night Trev and I ventured into Babies R Us. I know we still have a million years till this baby is born but after some prodding about Christmas lists from mothers/mother-in-laws we decided it was about time to look at some baby stuff. So we "oooh-ed" and "awwwed" at all the precious little baby stuff. Yep, definitely first timers, we could be spotted a mile away. Plus considering neither Trevin or I look pregnant so we felt completely out of place. We got to the stroller aisle and decided we should look at the stroller we've been wanting to see if its really any good. There was another couple in the same aisle that looked somewhat more experienced. They were handling multiple strollers and folding them up and taking off car seats all in swift smooth movements....definitely pros.
Once we got the stroller down to look at it our first mission was to take the car seat off. After about 5 minutes of pushing different buttons and tugging on the car seat we decided we better wait till the pro couple left so we didn't look completely incompetent of caring for a child. After they couple left we decided to give it another go and finally found the button to get the car seat off. Our next attempt was at folding up the stroller.....another 15 minute struggle. Needless to say we finally figured it all out I just can't imagine how crib assembly will go.

Professors that cancel class are my hero

This morning after guiltily sleeping through my 8:00 class I woke up to find an email written earlier that morning from my professor saying class was cancelled. My guilt quickly left me and my finance professor became my hero as the rest of my day turned out remarkably well because of it. I got up and ate breakfast without feeling like puking, put on my skinny jeans which miraculously still fit and went to work. At school the two mid-terms I bombed didn't even phase me and I came home and took a nap. Seriously this is a shout out to my finance professor for making it a great day!

On a side note.....

I know you've been hearing about voting all month from gung-ho U.S. citizens but what I'm about to say is actually really serious, pay attention. We find out in one month the gender of our baby and need you to cast your vote before then, no joke. Please be patriotic and do your duty. Also anyone who would like to make bets on the gender of our baby please see Amanda Fairbanks...she's the brains behind that. Careful, she might scam you :)
