Two days in a row...

Are you all like soo excited that I blogged two days in a row!?!  I guess it doesn't really make up for 6 months of nothing but "hey what can I say...I'm trying"

Mellow Mushroom was delicious but baby Dees just wasn't so sure about it.  I thought the indigestion was going to kill me.  Oh well, it was a fun date anyways. 

So we ended week 18 in the mountains of Colorado while trying to find a place to live.  After two weeks without being sick, the altitude brought it all back...let's just say I was not a happy camper!  Anyways, We decided to take belly bump pictures in the Rocky Mountains only to prove John Denver knows what he's talking about!

So this is week 18 and like 5 days or something...

I move somewhere that actually has winter and now all my favorite winter clothes don't cover my belly...awesome.

Matt was trying to fish the real man way, it didn't work out that well.

Matt tried to convince people that this is the view from our apartment window...unfortunately it's not.

So, due to the move and having to change all my appointments, I convinced Matt we had to find out the gender of the baby before I went crazy.  I don't know why I wasn't able to wait any longer but I just simply wasn't.  So we went to this ultrasound place that is located in a strip mall...yes a strip mall.  I know, it completely sounds sketchy but come on...I HAD TO KNOW!

Anyways...

 Yes, Baby Dees is officially a BOY and I'm officially excited to finally know the gender!  We are super excited about having a boy but I'm not going to lie, I'm a little nervous.  I hate bugs, snakes, baseball, dinosaurs, farts, frogs, and well most things that little boys seem to find interesting.  What will I do if my son wants to start a bug collection, or wants a pet snake...oh dear.  This is going to be interesting...

So that brings us to this past week.  November 9th, Matt and I loaded the few things the movers didn't take and started the 18 hour drive to Denver.  Being pregnant, of course, made this drive so much longer since it seems like every 30 minutes I have to "excuse" myself.  I was thankful for every clean restroom between Houston and Denver! 

We got to Denver on the 10th, the movers unloaded our stuff the 11th and Matt started work on the 14th.  It was a crazy week but a good week.  Matt seems to like his new job and we definitely love our new city!

Today I'm heading back to Texas for three weeks to finish up the semester with Wyldlife and Younglife.  It won't be fun being away from Matt for so long but I'm excited to be able to spend the next three weeks with some of my very favorite Texans.  When I get back, I hope to have tons of pictures to share with you guys!

To end this post, I'll leave you with the picture we took on Tuesday...we had to improvise and use what we had and well we had PLENTY of boxes.

Well, Well, Well...

So, yes like I've said before I'm officially the worst blogger ever!  But that's besides the point...

Let's recap over everything that has happened since I last blogged...

At the end of July, the 20th to be exact, Matt and I discovered that we are pregnant (well that I am pregnant but whatever)...yes PREGNANT!  

The following months were filled with morning sickness...ohhh the morning sickness.  Why do they call it morning sickness?  I felt fine in the mornings but bring on 9 p.m.  I will forever hate that hour.  Thank goodness I have the sweetest husband ever who eventually learned that watching me get sick wasn't fun but a glass of water was very appreciated. 

Matt and I both worked and planned, and planned and worked.  Wyldlife and Young Life was definitely keeping me busy.  We were beginning the process of buying a house and of course I was day dreaming of decorating a baby's room.  But ohh how God laughs when we try to plan...  A week after Matt told his work that we were expecting, he was laid off (special shot out to Obama and his plans for NASA, thanks for that man).  Yea, that was a scary moment but don't worry, God completely had this under control.  A little less than two weeks later Matt got an interview with Shell.  He knew nothing about the oil and gas industry but that didn't stop Shell from HIRING him!!  A couple of weeks later we found ourselves searching for a place to live in DENVER, CO!  

So we officially moved to Denver a week ago.  It has been a crazy whirlwind of a couple of months but we are here and Matt is working again!  We are super sad to leave all the friends we made while in Texas but it was definitely a God thing that got us here so we are excited for this next chapter. 

Anyways, I thought I would bring the blog back as a way to share pictures of our new life in Colorado for all those that want to know about it.  (so probably just my mom and dad)

We'll start with week 17's belly pictures...yes I'm following the crowd on this one and taking pictures of my growing belly!

Adjusting to the growing belly thing, not necessarily my favorite part of pregnancy

Trying to work that belly

Kona will need a major attitude adjustment before little Dees gets here

Don't let this face worry you...

He's excited!

 So I promise I won't write that much every again, I know it's hard to correct my grammar mistakes. 

Anyways, I promise to blog again very soon but now my awesome husband is taking me to Mellow Mushroom for dinner...Well as soon as Mississippi State wins this basketball game. 

P.S. Houston, you need a Mellow Mushroom!
