Theres a Bun in the Oven!

I guess I need to blog the big announcement that Jordan and I are having a baby!!! I hate calling it an "IT" but it doesnt really look like a human yet anyways, and we still have about a month and half before we can see its gender parts! So for now its my little "IT". All your life you dream of what it will be like the day you see those two pink lines and know you have a baby growing within you. Well let me tell you, it just doesnt seem real and for a minute your heart starts beating and realize all you have to teach this little one. A moment of shear panic takes over but then follows with more joy than you ever have known. Its the beginning the adventure of hormones and mood swings haha. Baby Rushton is  due  July 21st! My motherly feeling is that its a boy but I could be wrong. We would love a girl too. I love feeling my husband put his hands around my belly and whispering I love you both in my ear. I love how quickly a small fast heartbeat of YOUR baby can make you fall inlove and puts your mind in awe at the incredible ability we have to create life. More than ever, I am certain that there is an all knowing father in heaven. I often hold my belly and think, is there really a piece of me and Jord growing?
Things I have learned thus far in my prenancy
1. Always close your eyes when throwing up. then you can actually eat that meal again one day.
2. Never eat oat meal. It does not come back up well and does not settle your stomach no matter what you think.
3. Appologize on a daily basis to your sweet husband for your mood swings that you cant stop.
4. Never claim "youll be the perfect pregnant person". having an expectation ruins everything! Always set yourself up for the worst and then things seem better;)
5. It doesnt matter how sick or crazy you are, seeing your baby  and hearing its heartbeatmakes everything worth it!
I promise to keep you all updated with this exciting time! We are so happy to see what adventures are ahead with our new little family! Im sure so many fun stories are ahead and many lifes lessons! Jord and I are such proud parents of our little "it"!

Tis The Season

Call me a slacker. Its been awhile since an update so here we go! The holidays were wonderful and full of new memories to charish with family! To start off the Christmas season Jord and I got tickets to the Mo-Tab Christmas Concert under my mom and dads address...so Mama and Papa Young came up North and went to the Concert on my moms birthday!! It was the perfect night to kick off the holdidays!

Christmas was wonderful but I never took out my camera to show all the wonderful moments we had...to be honest though the picture wouldnt have captured all the laughter we had spending time with family. We spent the holidays in cedar with all the young Clan. We went sledding with the kids, played games, ate lots of food, and laughed until our cheeks hurts! Christams comes and goes all too fast. But we can hardly wait until next year when the adventure begins of taking on the "santa" role for our own little one! Hope this year brings many blessings and smiles to you all!

A few pictures from our first christmas together!
