Happenings!

There has been so much going on lately it has been hard to keep up! School is finally out for Christmas break and I couldn't be happier!

Happening #1-

Chris got into med school! That's right! Dr. Fowler. Yes... I am so happy for him. This is the only career that he wants to do in life and he has worked so hard to get there! He got into the University of Des Moines in Iowa. Although we are still waiting to hear back from several other schools and he is an alternate currently at 2 schools, we're just excited to know we'll be going somewhere!

Happening #2-

Getting the nursery ready! We are now just over 33 weeks... and it so coming so quickly! On Saturday we finally got around to starting to get the nursery put together! Although we still have a lot to do with it and cleaning up, I'm just so excited. I keep just peeking in there and looking at it! I love it and I'm so glad I have a hubby who lets me do what I want!!!


Happening #3-

The foot issue! So this is more than anyone ever wanted to know... but I have had a plantars wart on my foot since I was like 12 years old. I have done everything to get this nasty thing to go away including every home or doctor remedy. I have word duct tape on my foot for years (that's supposed to work) I have also had it burned off. And now I finally got it cut out. So I'll be spending the next week or so limping around and with only one shoe on. So annoying!


Happening #4-

Getting ready for Christmas! I love Christmas so much! I can't believe it is only days away! The thing I am most excited for is to give other's their gifts! I LOVE giving gifts! It is possibly my favorite thing to do! I've been telling Chris I want him to open his gifts since they've been under the tree!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Chris and I flew out to Colorado last week for a Happy Thanksgiving! It was so much fun to be home and to be with my family. We definitely stayed busy and made the most of our short visit. We ate lots of good food, went to a nuggets game, saw james bond (Which I hated p.s.!) shopped, watched Tara and Brad's practices, and my mom and I even made time for Pedicures! We loved being home and it was weird to say goodbye and tell them the next time I see them We'll have a baby girl!

The men played in the Turkey bowl!


Chris installed a new sink in the kitchen because it broke the day we flew out... we figured a sink would be nice for Thanksgiving Day!


I swear my brother Brad grows a foot every time I see him again!!


We love Pedis! Especially with my bloated, swollen feet!!!! Gross!

29 Week Dreaded Picture!

We are currently at 29 weeks in our pregnancy and although this is THEE VERY LAST THING I want to do... There have been some requests for the belly picture. I have put off doing this from day 1, but I knew I had to give in some time! So, here is the first belly picture... I don't promise it's not the last!

The 29 Week Belly!

Dumb Rain!

Although I really usually love the rain, not today! Poor poor Christopher is currently spending the night in the JFK airport in New York. He had his 4th med school interview in Vermont and didn't make his connecting flight because of the rain :( Last I talked to him he was curled up somewhere working on a sudoku book he bought there in the airport! I wish he was home!

Blonde Moment!

Pretty much since I found out I was pregnant I have been addicted to looking on ebay for baby stuff... my favorite thing... crib sets! I've bid a couple of times, but always backed off, or at the last second was outbid. Today at school I was "watching" one crib set I've had my eye on. After school there was 2 minutes left on the item and so I decided to start bidding. It was at $48.00 and so I put in $51.99... It then said YOU ARE THE CURRENT HIGH BIDDER... my co-worker Christine was watching it with me in my room, then when I looked closer it said I bid $5199.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was like AHHHHHHHHHHH what did I just do.... and I basically started freaking out... I just kept repeating..."What do I do... What do I do?" Poor Christine had to see me in my flipping out stage. A few minutes later it said that I had won the item, but for only $71.00. Thank goodness it only bids for you $1.00 above what the next highest bidder was... holy cow I about had a heart attack. Afterwards, talking to Chris (he had a good laugh about the whole thing,) I was told that you can retract your bid if that happens. I'm just grateful I didn't spend $5199.00 on our baby's bedding... as cute as I know she's going to be, that's a little excessive!

The item I "won!"

Weekend Fun

Last weekend we were excited to be able to relax a little bit and enjoy each other's company! We went to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point with our friends John and Bonnie on Friday night. Then on Saturday we relaxed and started to set up our little baby's crib, until we realized we were missing some of the hardware. We have to go back to the baby store and pick up the missing pieces!

San Fran!

Chris and I enjoyed a little vaca over my fall break to San Francisco this last week! We went with his parents, and two sisters. We had a lot of fun and we're sad that we have to go back to work!

We did lots of fun stuff! We went to Alcatraz, the redwoods, the beach, the trolly museum, wine country, the windiest rode in the world, china town, and lots of other fun places!!!!! Trolly museum

The Curviest rode in the world... this picture does it NO justice... it's crazy!

The largest windmill in the world

The vineyards

Trolly!

China Town! I got our baby girl the CUTEST hot pink chinese outfit here!

Um.... MASSIVE trees... My jaw was down like the whole time!

It took sooooo long to get to the red woods and I had to drive because since I've been prego my carsickness has multiplied by like 100! It was crazy!

I love Chris!

Us at the Golden Gate Bridge!

This was a tree you could walk through... this car below tried to drive through it and ripped both of their side mirrors off the rental car... it was possibly the funniest thing we saw the whole trip... we tried not to laugh... but trust me... it was funny.

Wow! Could we be any hotter!!! (please... don't respond!)

This pier was CRAZY filled with sealions... They were sooo much fun to watch... you can't even see half of them in this photo!

Alcatraz.... which I knew absolutely nothing about until now... we took a ferry to the island and then you take a self guided tour through the jail and an audio tape tells you all the stories. It's really cool. And now... I'm like obsessed with prisons... they're so fascinating!

The gang!

Sweet store huh! Lefty's do rule!

On the plane!
