Kudos to Alex!!

Ok I just have to tell everyone how amazing and perfect Alex is. I am not as good at making things sound all beautiful and perfect like he does but he really is so awesome! He gets up so early every morning and goes to work till four thirty then he goes to school till about nine thirty every night. Then he comes home and does homework till like eleven. I realize that so many people in the world also do this but it amazing to me how positive he is about it. He does it with out complaint at all! And the best part is that he comes home and cleans!! I know this is my job and I am a total slacker but I also say I feel too sick. And as true as that is it is still a lame excuse for me to leave that to slave man Alex. Yet he comes home so happy and upbeat and is so cute to me being his silly fun self, and does the dishes, homework, and all the million other things he does with out stopping. Oh yeah, and last night he walked in the door and said sorry I will be back in a minute but I have to go do my home teaching! Even as busy as he is he still finds home teaching important! I know I am rambling and you dont find this as great as me, but I just wanted everyone to know how amazing my husband is!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok thats all!

On a side note....
A; Sorry for the no pictures thing. I need to get a new USB cord for our camera so we can put pictures on the computer. We used to use our camera's on our phones (Lame I know!) But they are both broken now so... that's why.
B; We had our second doctors appointment last week. I have had lots of good intentions to blog about it but the main reason I haven't yet is because I wanted to put up the picture but I need to scan it and haven't yet. So that's why. But everything went well. I was a blast to be able to see the baby so well. It is a busy little baby. It kept kicking the side and bouncing up over and over again. Yeah, I know that will be fun when I can actually feel it! So... everything is going well. We are in the second trimester now so we shall see how things go! I am looking forward to the awesomeness everyone says the second trimester is!! Oh, and we find out what our baby is on OCTOBER 22ND!!!!! CANT WAIT!!!

Ok shut up Danelle. I know no one likes to read long posts with no pictures! LOS CIENTOS!!

Dedicated to Danl!

Yesterday I had the unfortunate, sobering experience of watching, as my dear sweet wife struggled for the words as she said her last mortal words of goodbye to her Grandma Paulsen. Danelle had a close connection with her Grandma and has many many sweet memories of her. She has been such a strength to her whole family through all of this, and on top of all of that, she takes care AND puts up with all of my shannanigans (oh and she is carrying our child). I just wanted to quickly acknowledge her strength and love. Danl you are truly one of my greatest heroes and my best friend. Love you!

If Alex were in the marching band...

So this weekend we were at my parents and my Dad brought this instrument into the room. And Alex being the so cute husband that he is said "Look honey its your favorite instrument!" Alex is so sweet in remembering that I love the French Horn but... this is a Marching TUBA!! HAHA!! I guess they kinda look the same because there are circles in the tubing of both and to give Alex credit he had never seen a Marching Tuba before. He was so fascinated by it that he wanted to try it and my Dad taught him how to play Mary had a little lamb. It was so fun to watch him! haha! Enjoy the pictures!

First doctors visit :)

We had been soo excited for this appointment that it was like Christmas morning yesterday! I woke up at 6 and couldn't get back to sleep I was so excited! We have an ultrasound picture but I am still figuring out how to get it on here, so you will see it eventually. Even though you can't really tell much. haha!! We also got to hear the heartbeat! He said you can't really hear it tell week 12 or 14 but he said we got lucky because we heard it! And we have it on our little DVD so we can listen to it whenever we want! Also, we thought I was about 9 1/2 weeks but we are actually at 8, as you will see the digression in our little floating baby. It is such a gift to have a week and a half of morning sickness back. ha! Ok I know it would have been the same anyways, but I was counting how many days I thought I had left. haha! But its really not that bad. We are just sooo excited! Alex is so cute and excited! He told me he had to take the ultrasound picture to work so he could make copies, which he did. But I think a lot of that reasoning was so he could show off the picture, which is also did! He has been so sweet to me and he is really going to be the greatest dad ever!!

2 year Anniversary

Yesterday was our 2 year anniversary! I really cannot believe how fast these two years have gone by. Part of my feels like I was just single going to college and on institute council. The other part of me feels like I have been with Alex forever and I can't even remember not being with him. He is so amazing! Falling in love with him was the funnest and best thing I have ever done! He is so fun to be married to! He is always making me laugh and coming up with crazy things. I am so so blessed to have him. He is sooo good to me! He will be such a wonderful Daddy!

Last Friday we went to a Bed and Breakfast in Salt Lake. It was fun to get away but we were a little disappointed with the place, but that's OK. The saddest part was when we tried to turn on the Olympics, channel five was the only one that wouldn't come it. So after they were over we figured out that if you push the T.V. video button channel five works just fine! So we missed some precious Olympic time! ha! After dinner we walked down to watch the tour of Utah face that was in down town that night. It was actually really exciting to watch. It was a time trial so they went around a couple blocks for an hour and a half. Alex was so cute and excited about it! I have a video of it and that is about all I have from the weekend. Anyways... Thanks Alex for such an awesome 2 years!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry its so fuzzy. It was taken with my phone because that is what I had available! Ha!

Help!!!

There are three things I want to do with my blog but I haven't a clue how! So if anyone could give me some guidance that would be greatly appreciated!

A : I want to get one of those this is what your baby looks like right now things. haha!!
B : I would like to have one of those things that tells you the last update under the blog name of all our friends.
C : I don't know how to make certain words a link.
I know I am crazy but it frustrates me that I cant figure these stupid things out!!! hahahaha!!

Pre-mortal hitchhiker!!

We are going to be parents!! Woo hoo we are so excited!!! We have been wanting and praying for this for almost a year and we can't believe it is really happening! Its been incredible because we were told by the doctor that it was not going to happen this month! So we were totally shocked and we couldn't be happier! Alex has been telling everyone he talks to that he is going to be a daddy! He is so excited! He is already talking to my belly. He says "Baby.. I am your father!" Yeah he must think he is Darth Vator or something! Hahaha! But anyways we are sooo very excited!!
