So our ward had a Halloween party last Saturday. Darren and the young men were in charge of a Spook Alley so our house was very busy before it started. We couldn't think of what to dress up as, so Darren grabbed some of his snowboarding things to be a Snowboarder. I know... good one, right?? :) I was planning on being a Power Puff girl, but after searching the house up and down I realized I had given it back to my parents to put in their costume box. What a letdown! I had no idea what to do. My backup plan was a pirate, which I was last year, but with no other options, I started to get ready. I put on my pirate tights (black and white stripes) and started to run around the house to find the rest of my costume. Darren saw me and busted up laughing! He told me I looked like a Who! And it hit me. Why didn't I think of that before?! I have been a Who a number of times. In college, my roomies and I would dress up as Who's around Christmas and bring cookies to our favorite boys and sing them a little Christmas Who carol :) Oh how I miss those days! Don't worry Darren, I love these days too! But they might be better if you dress up as a Who with me :)

Side note: The party was great! We had a blast! Even though my husband set off the fire alarm...

What IS that thing?! Not gonna lie... it's a little different being a married pregnant Who...

Oh the good old days! I simply HAD to show a picture of my roomies and I dressed up as Whos! Favorite memory of this night: Tallie sticking her head out the window while she was driving because she couldn't fit it in the car :)

I miss you girls!!!

And this picture is for Brittany. I can't even tell you how excited I am to see you this Christmas! All I wanna do is play! I'm thinking we should, perhaps, try to fit in a Who outing... what do you say? :)

Getting bigger - 22 Weeks

Ok, I'm a week late in posting this, but the past week has been crazy! Anyways, here I am at 22 weeks (5 and 1/2 months)! I am now 23 weeks and I can almost guarantee that I look bigger now than I do in this picture! It's crazy how much your stomach can grow in just one week! The past couple of weeks have been a BLAST because I finally realized what it feels like to have a baby kicking inside of me. Now that I know what it feels like, I realized I had felt it a number of times before... but now, I feel it ALL the time! Darren has even felt our little guy kick and he just loves it! Yesterday was the first time we SAW him kick... what a trip! We are so excited to be experiencing something so amazing! What a blessing!

It's a Boy!!!

Ok, so we got the ultrasound last Friday. I was DYING to post and let everyone know, but Darren insisted on being the one to blog about it... well... it's Wednesday now and nothing has been posted so I'm taking action! This is my favorite picture we got (above)! He looks so cute already! :) For the first half hour or so of the ultrasound, we didn't know the sex. He wouldn't move and we were mostly just seeing his spine. So she had us go run around the office (in the hopes of waking him up and getting him to move around) so we did. We went on the elevator, ran up and down the stairs, did some jumping jacks, and got a lot of weird looks when we started dancing all over the place! Turns out that it worked! As soon as we got back he started to move and we were able to get a lot of good shots!



So she printed off all of our pictures and we were wrapping things up. Darren, being the proud future-father that he is, asked if we could get a printed picture of... his... you know. I couldn't believe he asked that! She laughed and said he wasn't the first guy to want one. So there you have it! Whether the world is ready or not, in less than 5 months, there's going to be another little Darren around!
