The babe, new friends, and yoga!

Well....we went to the doctor again today. I'm not gonna lie...I was a little disappointed. We did not get to see the little peanut....which means....to mean it is still a peanut! We did get to actually HEAR the heart beat this time which was really cool....but why couldn't he just let me see the thing too! UGGHH! Oh well....I guess we will just hope to see the babe next time. I was really hoping to have another picture of the growing babe before going home for Thanksgiving....not gonna happen. Our next appointment isn't until the week after Thanksgiving....which at that time we will have just celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary! YEAH! I love you Josh! We have been having so much fun that it feels like yesterday!

In more exciting news....I met a friend today! We actually met through an online group of Submarine officer wives. We have so much in common...it is CRAZY! Her name is Amanda....she is due 4 days after me with her first baby....she just moved here to monterey.....she is from the South(Oklahoma to be exact)....the only downside is she is a BIG Sooner fan.....we have had the same gravings and aversions during our pregnancy so far......her husband is a submariner.....! I am super excited....and she even invited me to join a prenatal yoga class that she goes to on Thursday nights.....so I went for the first time to night and met her and we hit it off instantly....and I really enjoyed the Yoga!

I guess making a friend and the relaxing yoga made up for no picture of the babe!

Hope everyone has a good weekend.....I'll be hanging out with my uncle and grandpa!

Visits from family!

I really miss my family back home in Texas! It is so not cool to live so far away and to not be able to just be in the same house or just up the street and able to just stop by and see grandma and papa....or go to dinner with aunt kathy and joe.....or meet up with Justin and lindsay.....go shopping and to breakfast with my parents....or church with the sis.....or pester the little bro! I miss ya'll! I'll be back in the Tejas one day......that is if Josh has anything to do with it because that is exactly where he wants to be! Anyways....all that said....it is almost as good to have family come and visit me! Since we moved here in June I have had several dear friends(that I miss sooooo much) and family come to visit. This past week my brother Justin and sister in law Lindsay came to stay with us for about 7 days. We had a lot of fun! They got to explore Monterey and then I was about to take them around to Carmel and Big Sur and the four of us even got to go and stay for 2 nights in San Francisco! You will have to check out my sister in law's blog to get details on the trip! Later this week I get to welcome my grandfather and my Uncle back into Monterey. This will be the first time my uncle has come to visit me since I have been gone from Texas.....my uncle is probably going to be showing me around...he used to live here! I love time with family...and I love to have visitors! Anytime anyone wants to visit just let me know....friends and family welcome.....we will only have an extra room til May...so visit soon...or you will be sleeping downstairs on the couch!

I'll be sure to update tomorrow on the little peanut...that is hopefully now looking more like a human! We go for another appointment and sonogram tomorrow! Good news is that I am no longer nauseated all day...just morning and evening and the heartburn is kicking in now. I seem to have a lot more energy....I still could sleep all day...but it is getting WAY better!

Sunday Song of the week......

Today was another amazing day at church!  The sermon was "Who do you say that God is?" !  I encourage you all to think about that this week.  Who do you say that God is?  Not what you think people or the world thinks that God is....but who do you say He is?!  Hope everyone has a wonderful week!  Here are TWO songs from the worship service today.  The first one is a new one that we started singing today....the second one is one that I have know for a long time....and I absolutely LOVE!   Hope you all enjoy!

Come to Jesus by Chris Rice





One more thing before I go....I had to say happy birthday to my sweet baby kitty Izzy....she turned 2 today! And her boyfriend that she misses so much back in Connecticut....Dino.....they have the same birthday and are the same age!
