Half A Decade

A few weeks ago, we celebrated my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary.  Its crazy to think they have been married for 50 years!  They are such incredible people.  I hope Austin and I can become half the people they are. 

I just had to add this picture.  My family made a "Family Proclamtion" book with all of their children and grandchildren.  My Grandpa sat and looked at it for a very long time.

He is just the cutest grandpa in the world! :)

The Bump

Well everyone, here is my baby bump.

I am currently19 weeks, but  measuring at what would normally would be 14 weeks.

While the baby is right on track and growing like crazy!

Her heartbeat is around 160 and she is the size of a sweet potato according to thebump.com

 

Its crazy to think I am just about half way done and Alyviah will be here(Yes, thats the name we have decided to go with, actually her full name will be Alyviah Jane Anderson)

Movin' Up

If anyone didn't already know this, Bank of America is a nightmare to work with.

They currently own the condo we are purchasing, so lucky for us, we get to work hand in hand with them until we close.  They are just a slow, unorganized bank where no one ever seems to know what is going on.  We lucked out by having

the best realtor around that knows how to handle banks like this! 
He is always updating is on what is going on,

and doesn't have a problem getting answers for us and bugging Bank of America.

Thank goodness for that, because originally we were suppose to close on September 7th. 

A little over 2 months from when they accepted our offer. 

I am now happy to say we can close anytime after August 15th!!

We are ecstatic to move in even sooner and get everything settled before school starts.

A Day Out On The Lake

Last week, Austin and I spent an afternoon on Utah Lake with our good friends,

the Tuckers and Warburton's.

There wasn't a cloud in sky and the weather was prime!

Lucky for Austin, he actually got to use some toys while we were there.  Being 4.5 months

prego, I could only swim and lay in the boat.  Which was fine by me. 

I do have to say that Austin is a natural at everything he does.

Its sickening.  He got up on his first try--I don't think I could wakeboard if I wanted to.

I am way too uncoordinated.

We're Tickled Pink

Yesterday, Austin and I found out that we are having a baby GIRL!  We couldn't

be more excited.  Here is Baby A's debute

She was moving all over the place and sucking on her fingers.  It was so much fun to see

that there is actually something inside of me. But at the same time, it was weird to see something moving around in me when I couldn't feel it at all.  We are so excited and blessed to have a sweet little girl on the way!  At this point, our thoughts are all pink.  All we can think and talk about it this little girl!

Busy, Busy,Busy

Austin and I feel like we have been going non-stop lately.

We have been house hunting.  Yes, house hunting.  We have been looking for about 2 months.  And it is exhausting.  Every spare second we had, we were driving to look at place.  Or searching the MLS adds.

 Lucky for us, the first place we put an offer down accepted our offer, after making us wait 2 weeks.  It was definitely well worth the wait though.  As of right now, we close on September 7th (unless they can figure out the tax lien from the previous owners sooner) 

We are ecstatic to have our own place. So now, instead of looking at houses, we are looking at furniture, paint, rugs, accessories.. pretty much anything that goes home.

On top of that, we have been also running around getting baby stuff. 

We are now the proud owners of Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bag. We love it! 

For anyone that is looking for a cute, fashionable, durable diaper bag, these are it!

P.S.  We find out if its a boy our a girl next week....neither of us can sleep because we are so excited!

2 Years Down

Austin and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary twice this year. 

We weren't planning on doing anything the day of since we already had planned

a nice litle get away the following weekend to Little America.  I

We both caved and couldn't handle being at work.  We just wanted to be with

each other.  We went and saw X-Men-First Class and went to dinner at our favorite

resturant: Happy Sumo. After that, we went home and went on a nice long walk since thats what pregnant people like myself love to do!

As for our weeekend getaway, we ate, we shopped, we slept and we relaxed. 

Did I mention that we didn't talk at all about work or school or anything?  Just ourselves.  It was so nice!  We loved every single second and wished we didn't have to come back to reality.

**I would have been happy to take pictures but our car was broken into a few weekends ago and they stole our camera and pain killers.  They scored good! lol.**
