Preggy Sue Starts Her Third Trimester

Sunday, August 31 marked the first day of my last trimester! Time has flown by and now I'm starting to panic at the thought of all the things I planned to do, but never found the time. But, Chris and I couldn't be more excited to meet our little girl...and hopefully all the kicking means she's excited to meet us, too.

It's a Girl!

We had our ultrasound last week. I was so sure it would be a boy, but we couldn't be more excited to be having a little girl. It was exciting to see her kicking and flopping around. The doctor says she's healthy and perfect!

Look at that beautiful spine! Can you tell I've been taking my folic acid?

The doctor couldn't get a good shot of her face, since she kept putting her chin down or her hands up. We did get pictures of both her little hands open. She even gave us a thumb's up!

SHS Reunion

Our 10 year high school was on Friday, and it was so much fun! Here are some random photos of friends...

Chris & Autumn

Tracy, Liz, Jesse & Katie

Jonny & Beth

Chris, Devin, Seth, Kelly & Erica

Chris, Ryan, Jesse & Jonny

We won the African Stone Game in the raffle... not quite the overnight stay at Daniel's Summit Lodge we had hoped for, but it's still something! (By the way, Chris made that awesome balloon arch. He's such a Renaissance Man.)

Illustrating Children

I went to the Beehive Bazaar, which was awesome! Tons of great items from local artists. My favorite items were the illustrations by Sarah Jane. I really wanted to buy one for the nursery, but not knowing if I'm having a boy or girl, I decided to wait. Luckily she sells her prints on Etsy (for when I do find out).

Happy Mother's Day

For an early Mother's Day present, Chris and I went to Salt Lake to shop for baby gear and eat at Z'Tejas. At Anthropologie, Chris picked out this fabulous apron for me...I was hesitant, but he insisted. I just love it! He says it reminds him of "Bewitched." Chris never fails to impress me with thoughtful and fun gifts. What a great hubby!

'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone' by J.K. Rowling

I haven't been reading much lately, since my number one priority is sleep. But I did find a little time for a light and entertaining book, and now I have joined the ranks of Harry Potter Freaks (sorry to all you freaks out there). After years of being harassed for not reading the series (by education teachers, peers and students) I finally finished book number one. I actually started Sorcerer's Stone years ago, but life just got too busy and I didn't think the book was that great, so I put it down. For some bizarre reason, Chris and I started watching all the movies a couple of months ago, and I found I was just a tad bit hooked. I look forward to the next book, Chamber of Secrets and I am really excited for the movie, Half-Blood Prince, to come out in November...which may be my last hurrah before baby comes.

A Brand New Nielson

Good news world...we're having a baby! For those of you who don't know we are finally expecting a baby. The doctor thought there was a chance that we were having twins so Autumn had an early ultrasound today. He or she is 2.5 cm long and has a great little heartbeat. The due date is November 24. Grandparents...start your spoiling!
