18 Weeks

4

Yesterday was a pleasant surprise.

We had our prenatal appointment– just the regular check-up… or so I thought.  Upon entering the room I quickly noticed the ultrasound machine and automatically husband and I were checking if it was on (it wasn’t…)

The midwife came in… greeted us and after the regular questions of how are you… have you felt the baby move… she picked up a doppler and said, “Let’s take a listen.” I looked up at the ultrasound machine and casually blurted out that it is such a tease to have it here and not be able to see the baby!! And guess what guys? She smiled and said oh then let’s take a look!!

We got to see our little one after not seeing it for almost 10 weeks! It has grown! It had tiny arms and tiny legs… moving up a storm in my belly.  It blew us a little kiss with its tiny hand.  God, I am so in love already! My midwife continued to show us- or here is the little heart and this and that… then she continued to try to move it… she was trying to see the sex of the baby! Finally, the baby moved… and we found out what we’re having!! I cannot stop smiling!

For you guys… we will announce it on April 5th!

Baby It’s Cold Outside

SNOW TUESDAY
It has finally snowed on the day I do not have school! Waking up this morning was like waking up to a Christmas morning. Slightly chilly in the house… a slight scent of peppermint in the air, me bundling up even more into the covers, thinking of what time it is. Should I get up, start the day… nah, a few more minutes of warmth…

My husband had a meeting this morning and got a promotion! It is kind of interesting– the other day I vaguely dreamt something about him getting a promotion… I am so incredibly proud of him. The most hard working person I know.

Today is a celebration day.  Today is going to be great.

What are you up to?  Is it snowing where you are?

Growing Out Hair

Today I am happy. I am so happy that I could cry.  Life is truly beautiful when you just focus on the positive things and let go of the things that have been weighing you down. Amazing!

On the other note– my hair has been growing out… finally! I often look back at the photos from last year and miss my long brown hair!!! So I am making a pact with myself that I will not cut my hair until it is long again! And no more bang cutting! What is it with me and my every fall– I get my bangs cut! Do any of you do the same?

I got my nose pierced when we came back from the honeymoon!! I had my nose pierced in high school for a few weeks until it fell out and I kind of gave up on it.  Now it has been a little over 3 months and I love it! I recently put a rose gold hoop in. It almost blends in with my skin.  Ahhh so fun!

How crazy that it is already December? Time flies so fast!! Christmas season… work parties,  COLDER BOLDER, New Year’s party in downtown Denver… so many cool things coming up.

Well I guess that is all my lovelies!

Last week was pretty amazing! I only had school on Monday and the rest of the week was the long waited thanksgiving break. I am telling you, going to school that is 35 min away three times a week can get old. I am at the limit of my absences so a little break was super fun. So here is the breakdown of the last week:

It is late Saturday evening.  As I am going through the photos of my wedding day, clicking “copy and paste” to the “BLOG” folder,  all the glimpses of my wedding day come together. I am thinking to myself that the best day of my life went by so quickly… I never believed or really understood what it meant when someone would say that the wedding day is just one big blur… It is so true!  You prepare this whole time and vroooom… it’s gone.

The Ultimate Sandbox

CloseUpsSand
The weekend after Frederick and I came back from our European honeymoon, we decided to go CAMPING!! Of course, I choose something further away from home (Boulder, CO) and 4.5 hours later we were at the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve.

Colorado never fails to surprise me… like how do we get giant sand dunes near the mountains? Disappeared body of water that left huge piles of sand?? Different wind patterns? I’m not a geologist so I had to look it up! Pretty interesting explanation of their formation.  Anyway I will stop my rambling…

We stopped at Piñon Flats Campground which has an amazing view of the dunes.  The sites are pretty amazing too– large enough to put a couple of tens and each has a fire pit.  NIGHTS are so cold! Brrrr

TIP: Get to the campground early (preferably before 10) as it gets full by lunch time.

Two souls, one heart

The best thing ever happened to me a little over a year ago.

I met my soulmate, my other half, my best friend, my everything…

I often think about how my life completely turned around upon moving to Colorado last year. Like when I look back I just sit there in awe, probably with my jaw dropped and my eyes all in deep thought…But I’m serious life is a crazy thing and takes you to places where you have never thought you would be or expected it any time soon…
