Was that a kick?!

So my halfway point is in about 2 weeks and the doctor said I should be feeling the baby move pretty soon. He described the feeling as "a bad night after Cafe Rio". Haha we about died laughing when he gave that comparison! How are you supposed to tell the difference?! Well on Sunday I'm pretty sure I felt the baby kick or move. We were in sacrament singing and I told Zac I think the baby just kicked me! It was two small nudges, and he said it's probably telling me to quit singing! Haha if that's the case I sure feel bad for my baby when I'm driving in my car! It was such a weird feeling! I'm 98% sure it was the baby, but it felt so normal! I've felt it move five or six times since then and it was more like a little tap from inside of my stomach than a bad night after Cafe Rio! We have a doctor's appointment next Tuesday and that's when we'll find out for sure what we're having! We are so excited to finally know if it's a girl or a boy. I can't wait to start shopping for baby things and slowly get everything ready for the big arrival!

A night at the Jazz game and the upper bowl

Last week I got a call from Afs asking if we wanted to go to the jazz game that night...Jazz vs. Celtics...heck ya we were there! She was able to get 8 tickets so it was me, Zac, Afs, Ty and Jake brought Robbie, Scotty, and Gideon.



It was so much fun! I have been wanting to go to a Jazz game lately, I just love the atmosphere of it all! The music, lights, people (preferably the sober ones) and of course the food! I was really there for a hot dog, nacho's and a drink for $12...I had a hard time bringing myself to spend that much on a measly hot dog and snacks, but it was worth it!


Anyway the game was really good and intense! We were sitting 2 rows behind some Boston fans who were drinking like crazy, and to our right were a bunch of Jazz fans that were drinking like crazy. They were fine in the beginning and I knew as the game wore on and they got more drinks in them they would get worse. Turned out the Boston fans in front of us were really cool and we had a lot of fun bantering back and forth with them (well I should say Zac and the boys bantered), and the Jazz fans to our right were extremely obnoxious with the worst mouths! There was a Boston family sitting in front of them who actually left at the 4th quarter because of how rude those guys were being. The F word was used every other word and I don't blame the family, who had 2 young girls with them, for leaving. I felt really bad that those guys ruined their night though! Anyway, as the game went on the two groups clashed and garbage got thrown at a Boston girl who then went to get security to kick the drunk Jazz fans out. Of course this was all going on within the last 20 seconds of the game and it was hard to choose which to watch...the game or these idiots trying to resist getting the boot. Finally they left with some words and we were able to see the last 4 seconds play out. What a great game that was!! Tickets in the upperbowl are always a gamble and it's the luck of the draw with the group you'll be sitting by! But hey for $10 bucks to enjoy a night out with my hubby and family/friends it was well worth it! It was nice to do something different on the weekend and we had an awesome time! Thanks Afs!

Let me explain this picture.

The drunk Jazz fans were upset that we were getting a long so well with the drunk Boston fans and so they said few words to us and Zac being so protective and doesn't let people talk to us like that (which I secretly love and is SO attractive to me) Anyway back to the story, he got up in their face and they got into a HUGE fight falling over chairs and into people. One of the guys was even sent to the hospital......haha just kidding! Part of it is true though, they did say some things to us and Zac had some more things to say back to them but it ended there. I always try to calm Zac down, I don't even know if he hears me half the time. Those guys were so annoying the whole game and I'm glad they got kicked out! Anyway the real story involves Jake (as shown in the picture) but he hit Zac with his truck not his fist. Only 2 minutes before we left for the game, who knows why they do the things they do, but Zac was in the bed of Jake's truck trying to get something Jake took from him. So Jake stepped on the gas. Then hit the brakes. Zac slammed into the back of the window. It looks worse than it was. I thought he had sliced his eyebrow open and blood was dripping down but it was more like a really bad rug burn. Boys are so crazy! I grew up with 2 sisters, we never did anything like that! I have been brought into family of 2 boys and all of their friends who rough house every chance they get..I've always heard stories but seeing them first hand is very different and I can't help but laugh! I guess this will prepare me if we ever have boys!

Happy Birthday to Me!

My birthday was last Thursday and in our family some of us like to take advantage of our birthday week. Which means we get to celebrate our birthday all week! It's funny how when you get older birthdays aren't as exciting as they used to be when you'd have all your friends over for pin the tale on the donkey and heavy heavy hang over. But I was lucky and had another awesome birthday this year! Here is how it all went:
Tuesday night I came home from work and Zac had surprised me with cleaning our entire apartment spotless! (Leave it to me to make it look messy with my coat and purse)
It looked SO good! And even better he made me dinner! He had the table all set and he had bought me some roses and another bouquet of wild flowers.


The dinner was so delicious! He always tells me he doesn't know how to cook (I know it's just to get out of making dinner) but he messed that lie up by making me steak, shrimp, rice and asparagus! It was so good! He also got a liter of coke! Which was probably the best surprise because I've had to cut back, being pregnant and all, so I was SO happy to get coke that night! After dinner we had rice crispy treats for dessert and watched our tvo'd shows for the night. What a great birthday present! Zac always knows how to make me happy, he's my best friend in the world and the best husband a girl could ask for! I love you pumpkin!!!

Then on Wednesday night my mom and sisters took me out for another birthday dinner to one of my favorite restaurants, Olive Garden! The food is always great and the presents they got me were even better! My first maternity clothes! Yay! Short story, a couple weeks ago Lindsay and I were bored so we went to Target to just shop around and we checked out their maternity clothes and they weren't very cute at all. So I was a little bummed that maybe looking for cute prego clothes would be harder than I thought, until I got my presents! Thanks you guys for finding me adorable clothes, I love you guys so much! (Note for you other preggers out there looking for clothes, Motherhood Maternity is the place to go) These are all the cute clothes I got! Maternity shorts by the way are SO comfortable! It's like your wearing sweats!

 

After the first two nights my birthday was off to a great start! Then came Thursday and the Campbell's took me to yet another birthday dinner! If you can't tell I really like food...and they all know this so well! They took me to...

It was amazing! They have the best cheesy biscuits and our waiter was awesome which is always nice! The Campbells let me open my present last month when Jake opened his birthday presents (Jake was so nice to share) and I got an iHome! Thanks Sherry and Gordy we love it!!

Then as my birthday continued into Friday night a bunch of us got together and we ate at Rock Creek Pizza! We had a big crew that consisted of us, Brant, Lindsay, Afs, Tyler (who is now dead to me until I get a happy birthday text), Kelli, Kyle, Jake, Scotty, Robbie, and Gideon! Then we made our way to the Campbell's and the boys watched the Jazz while the girls half played cranium! Brant and Lindsay got me two bags of some of my favorite candies, conversation hearts, and they were so yummy!

Well one bag was anyway :) You guys are awesome friends! We'd be big losers if we didn't have you! Then we watched Gran Torino...which was pretty good. I don't think I'd watch it a second time. But then again, it was like 11pm when we started it, which is when we are usually in bed falling asleep, so I think we were all a little tired and may have had a bad judgment because of that! After the movie ended around 2 everyone left and then Jake got home and we talked with him for an hour and we didn't get home and in bed til 3:30am! That is the latest we've been out since we've been married! Haha we are so wild I know!
So when Saturday came around I slept in til 12 and Zac left at 10:30 to play football, so it was nice to be able to sleep in! When he got back we went to Barbacoa for lunch and then we went pant shopping it was fun! Then that night we played the wii and that put an end to my birthday week! Which was good timing since Gordy's birthday is today and he started his birthday week yesterday! Thanks everyone for making my birthday a good one this year!!! I couldn't have asked for better family and friends! Love you guys!

Homecomings and Doctor Appointments

Ok so my camera battery has reached the end of it's life so I haven't been able to take any pictures, so I'm gonna post without pictures again. Last Monday Jake got home from his mission and it was so cool to be at the airport! I didn't go when Zac got home and I've always thought it'd be a neat experience and it was! Zac loves having his brother home! Now he has his work out buddy back and they play basketball every free night they get! It's fun to have him home to re-get to know him. From what I've seen he's adjusted really well and isn't weird at all! While he was gone quite a bit changed. He gained a sister-in-law, Sherry and Gordy remodeled their bedroom and living room, they moved their business into an office, and he is now on his way to being an uncle! Also, yesterday we had our 2nd appointment doctors appointment which was unfortunately scheduled over a work trip Zac had to go to. So while he's in Vegas with Gordy, Jake, Brant, Jason and the rest of Interform working or playing I'm not sure? My wonderful mom came with me to the appointment! The doctor I see is Dr. Terry at the new hospital in Murray and he is so amazing! After we met with him for a few minutes we went and did an ultrasound and saw the baby and it was so cool! I haven't gained a pound in the past 3 months and I have been feeling really great so I swear I felt that I wasn't pregnant anymore (impossible I know) but seeing the baby was so amazing and made it being pregnant feel real again! The baby was only a couple inches long but it actually looked like a little baby! I was expecting a black and white blob of something I couldn't make out. But we saw it's heart beat, the head, hands and arms, spine, and even it's cute little legs were crossed indian style! I can't wait for Zac to be able to see it! The next time we get another ultrasound we will find out what the sex is and we are really looking forward to that!
