Well...5 weeks down

I have scheduled my first doctor's appointment for Friday, July 17th! YAY Finally real confirmation from a professional. Ryan and I are so excited- I hope so badly that we can here the little peach's heart beat! That will just be amazing and what a miracle just to think 5 weeks ago it wasn't even thought of and now all the mommy questions are running through my mind--

- Is it developing normally?

- Are all these sympotoms normal?

- What we will name it if it is a boy? Girl?

- What will the nursery look like?

- Will I be able to nurse?

- How much wait will I gain? And, what will I look like in 3, 6 and 9 months?

All these silly questions, that I am sure every new mom has, O what an exciting adventure!! =)

Current sympotoms:

- Exhaustion (Does this ever go away??)

- Some nausea, but it isn't unbearable, yet!

- And Ryan would say moodiness, but I disagree! haha

So all in all, not too bad. I will have a better update on FRIDAY!

Still Shocked!

Well a few life changing things have been happening in our life...





1. We sold our house. Yes, I already miss it dearly! But, we are looking foward to building a new house on my family property. We are really excited to be closer to the Coopster, and the other family (I guess...Kidding only Kidding). We already have our plans picked out, and got an estimate, all we have to do is sign our contract by then end of the month. Hopefully, we will be in it by Christmas! =) In the meantime, we are staying with my parents- it will be challenging, but worth the wait.





2. Last Night (July 9th) I found out I was pregenant. I AM COMPLETELY SHOCKED!! It still hasn't sunk in that something is growing inside. I am so excited to see what this holds, and looking foward to this adventure. Ryan was cute last night, I swear he couldn't stop smiling. I called him today and he said he was still smiling and it would go away! haha We weren't exactly trying, and that was the way I always wanted it, to be surprised and let God do all the work! We have only told My Mom, Sister, Jerry, Ryan's Mom and Stepdad, Stefanie and Ian thus far. I want to make sure everything is fine, before I tell the world. I do plan on telling some more of my close family and friends tonight! I am saving this blog post until everyone knows! =) Sorry blog world!





As you can see, we are doing a lot of transitioning in our life, but so very excited to complete this fun and exciting chapter in our life! We are truely blessed and I couldn't as for a better person to go on this journey on.

A fun and Relaxing Weekend

On Friday, Lindsey and I had a great dinner @ the Crab Trap and went over to Hubs and some quality girl time! =) It was a lot of fun and something that I have missed over the past month, when our schedules were really hectic (mostly mine, with new Aunt responsibilities and Military Appreciation Month!).

On Saturday, I went with Linds and Stef and some of our guys friends to Billy Bow Legs in Destin! What a party! WOW... we didn't stay too long, but it was quite entertaining to see everyone dressed up as pirates! Lindsey and I love Halloween so it was extra fun for us! ;) Saturday night I went to bed a 6:00 (Completely exhausted!) and had a very releaxing night in with my puppies!

On Sunday, the boys made it back all in one piece! Shocking, I know! And, I hung out at mom's for a while- and played with my little Lily! O how I love her. I just can't imagine how I am going to feel about Cooper-- I know I won't be able to tell him no, then I can just send him home to his Mom! haha

That is about it! I had a great weekend and I am already looking foward to the next one. Until then I will be working, and we have a busy week scheduled!

Well... It has been quite a while since I have posted anything... so much for that good idea!! =) So many things have went on in the last two months it is hard to believe. I started this blog more as a journal than anything, so Ryan and I can look back in 10 years and see where we were in our life during this time- Married only three short years, no kiddies, two dogs, and a small house that we love so much! The next 10 years will be great, and I am sure we will often miss this time in our lives we didn't have many worries and kids running around and taking them to every sport practice! O the good times that await us!

One thing that I am most excited about is my new nephew, Cooper Reid Halfacre, we are all awaiting his arrival some patiently others, like me and my sister, not so much! I just can't wait for the day that I see his cute little face and all the happiness he will bring to our family. I know he is going to quite handsome. Yes, I am biased, but I will say that if he gets his looks from his Aunt he can't go wrong! Kidding, just kidding! Once he arrives (My projection is June 15th) I will post plenty of pictures!

We also have some great friends that are getting married this month and this weekend Ryan and all the boys are going to NOLA for his bachelor party! Pray for their safe return, because we all know they will need it! The girls turn will come soon enough! And Congratulations to Michael and Jodi!

I am looking forward to a great relaxing weekend and catching up on girl time that I desperately need. When life gets busy it is so easy to forget about your great friends that you don't get to spend much time with! O- and I will be getting some much need sun. I look like I live in Alaska!

After much debate, I have decided to get a blog. It probably will not be very interesting, but hey it is a fun thing to do! =) I enjoy social networking on the internet and this is just another way for me to connect to my friends and family that I don't often talk to.

As I mentioned in my "About Me" section, I love my puppies! So I have decided to pot some pictures for your viewing pleasure! Enjoy!

Only faces a mother can love! =) Until next time... Happy Thursday!
