I'm great thanks

I never knew how annoying one question could be…
“How are you feeling?”…and you know its not that I mind being asked but how should I be feeling because I feel freaking fantastic. But hey if you really want details here you go!
In the beginning yes I was sick. I didn’t throw up but three times total, but man was I sick. What really cracks me up was that I would seriously refrain from talking until about 9am. I would try having a conversation with Joe as we got ready for work but it’s not much of a conversation when after every two words I would gag! One time when I dropped him off at work and he went to kiss me goodbye and I started gagging…it was awful, good thing Joe is a sport! In the beginning I was also in bed in between 8 & 9 every night. I could never have imagined that I would be SO tired.
Then one day everything was gone! I felt fine and I wasn’t tired anymore, woo!
Since then my boobs have gone up a full cup size, woo again! My hair and nails grow like weeds, and since I’ve been pregnant I really haven't gained any weight. We’ll see what the scale says at my next Drs Appointment though because I’m always hungry now. And the cravings have totally started! Last week I had to have a pickle and sour cream & onion chips, it was fantastic! And last night I had Joe take me to Burger King because I had to have a cherry float (half vanilla milkshake and half cherry icee) yum! I have a cute little tummy that gets rubbed almost every night and Lola (the dog) I think finds it frustrating that she can’t just jump on me anymore, she now jumps up and puts her paws on my hips, what a good girlie. Other than that, my lower back seems to hurt every so often and I now know what heart burn feels like! BUT it’s totally worth it!

He's a Champ!

So 20 weeks tomorrow!! We are half way there! Yesterday we had an ultrasound for our little guy and yes its a little guy!

Leslie Champ Edsall has an estimated arrival date of June 20Th.

I am thrilled to have a summer baby...that's what I was.

Champ is doing great in my tummy! He is healthy and has a super healthy heart. He is also a little mover! I haven’t felt it more than one time (and that’s because I was laying on my stomach) but its so amazing watching him on the screen wiggling away. At one point during the ultrasound he was moving his hands in front of his head like he was clapping and pretty much the whole time he had he legs crossed at the ankles…just like his daddy watching football! Ankles crossed and clapping! I can’t wait to meet our little guy!

P.S

Joe and went to Zoo Lights at the Hogle Zoo a couple weekends ago and if you want something fun and festive its totally worth it! They had lots of animated animal lights and Joe even bought me a hot cocoa mug that lit up.

Christmas Eve

Its Christmas time! Once again Joe and I are on our own for Christmas. This will be our second year without being with either my family or Joe’s family. Last year we were really sad and it was kind of depressing on Christmas Eve but we still did our thing…had dinner, watched Christmas Vacation, and started some of our own traditions such as opening only 1 present on Christmas Eve which of course was our pajamas that we picked out for each other. Joe always picks out the cutest pajamas! Or should I say our friends or the sales woman at the store!! Last year we started our snowboarding tradition of going up on the mountain after we open presents Christmas morning and going boarding all day. Well things are going to be slightly different this year. We aren’t going to be as sad this year! We got my family Christmas fill last weekend with my family in Twin Falls. One of my favorite things ever is all 20ish or so of us being in one house for the weekend. It is really hard to leave when Sunday afternoon comes around. We are also starting another new tradition…one of my favorite Christmas movies is The Santa Clause with Tim Allen, and in that movie they go to Denny’s on Christmas Eve! What a fun new tradition to start, and we are so starting it! So today goes as follows…when we get off work we are going to go get new pajamas because we are slackers and didn’t do it earlier! Then we have to go get stuff to make breakfast in the morning (breakfast for dinner and breakfast for breakfast!) then later on we will go to Denny’s for dinner, then go drive around and look at lights, then into our pajamas we go and on the couch to watch Christmas Vacation. And as for tomorrow goes, no snowboarding for me (or Joe for that matter, he needs a new board, which by the way he is getting this year!) but Joe’s mom did get us the Shawn White snowboarding game to get our boarding fix!! And we thank her very much for it! We are also going to go see Bedtime Stories with our friend Rory and his son Ashton, then off to Spanish Fork to see my Godparents (also known as our other set of Parents, gosh we love them!) to play Bingo and chow down!
