Christmas with the Walters!

This Christmas we were with the Walters clan! It has been so fun! I have eaten a lot, played lots of games, and not had enough sleep! It's been a blast! We FINALLY got all together in matching clothes and took some long over due family pictures! Here they are.

Gotta have a silly one...

IT'S A.....

GIRL!!!!!


We went to the Dr. yesterday for my monthly appointment and first ever ultrasound! It was amazing to see my little nudger moving around inside me! At first the ultrasound tech wasn't sure we would be able to see what she was because she is SO LOW inside me, and was keeping her legs closed. But then she said, "Oh there's those three lines, the labia, you guys are having a little girl." I was delighted and Randon just GRINNED! I said, "Are you sure?" She's like, "Yep!" She moved around some more to get measurements and stats, and tried very hard to get a profile picture for us, but this little cutie didn't want to cooperate.

So the first picture is her face looking at the camera.

Blues...

Lately I have had the blues. I feel really sad a lot. I'm guessing it's the hormones, because I'm pretty down. I've always been a cryer (always), but lately I burst into tears over the littlest things, and sometimes over nothing! It's really annoying. I can't seem to bring myself out of this slump. Randon does his best to cheer me up but I'm just so BLUE. Moms' out there, am I normal?

On the brighter side, I finally took a belly picture for those that have been asking. It's nothing much but my church outfit seemed to really show my growing belly so I thought I would get a quick pic. Can't wait for Tuesday to find out what my little nudger is!

I hope they call me on a Mission Part II

Randon's brother Tylon got his mission call today. We couldn't make it down there to be with him when he opened it so they put us on Google Video chat so we could see and hear everything. He is going to Madrid, Spain and he reports April 27th! We are so proud! He is going to be such a great missionary! Congratulations Tylon we love you!

The Truth is Wednesdays!

The Truth is...

*When I eat Chexmix I only eat the chex. Randon calls me a picker.

*When I have a schedule to keep (which is usually) it bugs me when people move really slowly around me....GET OUT OF THE ISLE! MOVE YOUR CAR TO THE RIGHT! COULD YOU BE WALKING ANY SLOWER? (See there's that temper I told you about in one of my earlier truth posts).

*I watched a "Natural Birth" video the other day...and I was grossed out. I've decided I will not have a mirror.

* Two weeks seems like an eternity to find out what we're having! I can hardly stand the wait!

*I love the HOLIDAYS! I'm excited to spend time with family!

What are your truths?

Baby Stuff

I had my first Dr.'s appointment the Tuesday before Thanksgiving (I've just been very busy and haven't posted about it). So here's the info...The lady I saw at the clinic is a Midwife, which I was kind of iffy about, until I met her. She was the sweetest, most motherly women ever! I adore her! I will so be seeing her the rest of this pregnancy. They were all very kind and helpful and answered all my questions and checked to make sure everything was okay. It was awesome! Anyway, I got to hear the baby's heartbeat! Neatest experience ever! It's a sweet sound for sure. The lady said, "Do you hear that mom?" I nodded and she said, "Ooo it's STRONG!" She made me feel so good. When she looked at my tummy she said, "Oh look at that beautiful belly!". She was just very wonderful and made the whole thing a positive experience. I get to go back in two weeks and find out the anatomy! Keep your fingers crossed that this little cutie isn't shy! (And with a mother like me, how could they be?)
Also, in the last week I think I have felt my little nudger move! I'm never really sure...but sometimes I think I'm sure. Does that make sense? It's exciting to know that little baby growing inside me is moving! I can't wait to meet him/her!
And last but not least, after a long and nightmarish 3 month wait, I was FINALLY approved for ACCCHS last Friday. Seriously....it was such a relief. So there you go, the latest update on our little pregnancy! Hooray for babies!
