Color Scheme

Not going to be green, brown & yellow. Poop only colors will not do.

We got a couple of fun pictures that I'm kinda going off of. Red, green (not Christmas red & green), brown, blue, orange, yellow... they are all too good not to use. Hopefully it'll all work. I'll post pics as we get things situated.

Baby Boy!

We found out earlier this week that our little baby is a boy! Pictures are on David's gallery. gallery.me.com/dc3. He is so cute! We are carrying on the family name of David Clinton, so this little guy will be David Clinton IV. :)

My friend Andrea has been blogging about her pregnancy and little pre-born baby boy. I realized that I have had several similar experiences as her. We have several friends who are pregnant right now. Each pregnancy is unique but it's nice to know what other people experience so you don't feel like you are the only one in the world who feels like they have to throw up when they brush their teeth.

I had the horrible nausea & vomiting in my first trimester. (I am not ashamed to admit it.) I lost weight in the first trimester even though I had to buy new pants because my regular jeans didn't fit anymore! (Week 10) I have had crazy heartburn, which by the grace of God has toned down this week. I have 0- blood so I have to have the rhogam shot just in case DC4 has a positive blood type. We started feeling the baby move this week! So exciting. He's pretty active. Sometimes my "stomach" (abdomen) hurts, but I've been told that's because my ligaments are stretching. Ah, anyway, pregnancy has been a cool experience so far. Only 4 1/2 more months to go. :)

I am excited to put the baby's room together. We were giving a lot of baby furniture, but we've decided to buy a dresser/changing table. I am very excited about it. I am leaning towards the green/brown/yellow scheme.

Oh, so fun. Well, we'll see how it all comes together!

Long time coming... sorta...

Well, hello friends. For the 3 of you who have been asking me to post something new, this one's for you. The last 3 months or so have been pretty interesting. I haven't been feeling too well and been very unmotivated to do very much (such as post). I have been going to bed a 9:30am and waking up 10 hours or so later. I have been taking occasional naps and throwing up my breakfast, lunch and dinner depending on the day. TMI? Well, the vomiting part has gotten much MUCH better! And if you didn't know already, the reason for this is because SURPRISE, I am pregnant. :)

14 1/2 weeks along, so 2nd trimester. Next month we'll be finding out if it's a boy or girl. We are both excited. I must admit, for month #2, with my lack of motivation to do anything other than drag myself to work (seriously, drag), it may have seemed like I wasn't excited to have a human growing inside me. I guess I don't handle "not feeling well" or "not feeling normal" very well. When I get "sick", I don't want to do anything except take a nap. Something I'll need to get over when I have a little life to take care of.

But anyway, yes, I am excited about having a baby! We are moving within the next couple weeks to a bigger place... 3 bedrooms! We are talking about names... which we'll fill you in later. We started a registry at Babies R Us. We are taking a "babymoon" vacation to Oregon this summer. (A "babymoon" is like one last vacation without kids. So the internet says.) I have maternity pants, so comfortable. Ah, and since tax season is over, I work a couple hours less a week, which is nice too.

I have to go.... don't have any belly pics, but when I do, I'll show you. :)

Valentines Day

Love day this year falls on the Lord's day, Sunday.

We went out to Braza Grill, a Brazilian barbecue place, last night for dinner. It was really good. Then, we hit up Redbox and watched the movie The Accidental Husband. It was cute, worth a $1 in our book.

Today we went to church and are going over to Paul & Andrea's for dinner tonight.

OH, and yesterday I went over to my cousin's house & my aunt taught basic cake decorating skills. We're going to have a few more classes. It was really fun! I'm going to get a cake decorating kit, with pictures, pastry bags, tips, etc for cake decorating. It will be fun... :) While there, I decorated a heart shaped cake which we will enjoy tonight.

So, happy Valentines Day!

Predictions 2010....

Inspired by my friend Andrea's blog, I am going to do a list of "things that will happen" in 2010.

January - Pray for and get a raise or more hours at work. I expect hours to get increased anyway because tax season is starting.

February - Choose a home church. Sell my Camry. (If you are intere

sted in buying it email me or David. It's a great car and I'll be sad to see it go.)

March - Buy an older, yet reliable, used car for me to drive. Celebrate David's 27th birthday. I'll plan a special date & maybe we'll get together with friends. Yes. That is what we'll do. Oh, also, does softball season start this month? If it does, I'll find a team

.

April - Tax season will end so hopefully I won't be as busy at work after the 15th. And if softball season didn't start last month, hopefully it starts this month & I'll be on a team.

May - Go to northern California to be in Melissa & Josh's wedding. Maybe David & I will make a little extended vacation out of it.

June - Go to southern California to be in Crystal & Brett's wedding. Maybe David & I will make a little extended vacation out of it. Possibly move if we can't renew our lease.

July - If we have money left over from our travels, we'll buy a bedroom set. Cal King bed, here we come!

August - Work & live.

September - Celebrate my 26th birthday. David has planned "date days" for my birthdays the last couple years. I'm sure he'll come up with something good. :)

October - Celebrate our 1 year anniversary... by going "away" somewhere for that weekend. Probably be baby hungry, even though our plan is not to get pregnant for at least another year from this month.

November - Celebrate Thanksgiving & experience random snow showers across Salt Lake City.

December - Travel to visit family for Christmas. Probably be baby hungry again.

I'll check in on this post a year from now with what actually happened in 2010!

Lesson #1 Learn the hard way...

Don't dry new brown towels with older yellow ones. The yellow towels didn't turn brown, they just came out of the dryer with annoying little brown fuzzies ALL over them. Lesson learned.
