Catch-Up

Let me start off by saying, I am loving every minute of my 2nd trimester, it has been easy, smooth and sick free! Other then the occasional pulling and stretching of my body thinking of my little man seems to make it all go away! We have finally came to an agreement on a name for our guy so we can stop calling him "it, bambino, uno, baby etc".

I have loved the name Krew for quite sometime now, I don't know why it's very edgy maybe. I had a fantastic weekend in Idaho and probably shopped for Krew too much but hey, you only do this first baby thing once right? I have been stressed to the maxx thinking of all of the things that I have to do/need to do for my own sanity. We stopped by our local Buy Buy Baby last night and I was able to narrow down between 2 cribs, our carseat and stroller travel system, and our bedding! I finally have a vision of it all in my head and can't wait to start putting it into action! I know I have ALL Summer to get things done but my mind is like a hamster ball and it's always on HIGH ROLL.

We decided to go with the Graco Quattro Reverse Travel System in Platinum for our little dude. I decided on this one because the reviews are really good, it is very light weight which is nice for my litte frame, and I also just like the classy colors of it. "Keep it classy San Diego" (name that movie!)

Hubbs had to test it out of course!

I am still taking this pregnany thing day by day. I hate to complain because we are so very blessed but this whole gaining weight thing is really getting to my head! I know I need to be gaining weight and that it is healthy weight for both Krew and I but come one I've always weighed between 100-115 (error I mean 115) so it's been rough. Plus my hips feel like they are going to RIP right out of my body, but hey I am keeping my eye on the sweet sweet prize!

This little guy made me feel better last night!

Here are some quotes that are going to help me get through my day and into my Friday and hott beautiful weekend! I will be in tomorrow with my 16 week bump post. Holy Moly!

Best Moment of the Week?  Finding out our bean is a BOY!!

Gender Reveal

I had been waiting what seemed like ages (8weeks to be exact) to find out what our baby was & to share the new with the ones I love the most. We will never.ever forget last night, the love from all of our friends & family, the happiness, and the overall joy! Love was really in the air. After all of the chaos and planning and obsessing I did it was such a fabulous night and I am so glad we were able to put it all together!!

The night was perfect to say the least. The cake, the food, the decorations, the people. Pure bliss. For the food we just had a veggie tray, a berry bowl, cupcakes, chips and salsa, lemonade & cake of course!

Since Ryan and I found out the night before we let my parents cut the cake, this is their first Grandbaby so they were pretty excited to say the least. I don't feel like I can put how great the party was into words, and pictures don't do all the justice needed.

My niece & I. She always has the greatest stories.

My dad with nephew (dad never really does well with pics)

The banner was made by my fabulous sister in law whom does NOT give herself enough credit for her creativity. Yes. YOU bitch! Check her & the cute kids I am always bragging about HERE.

She is usually cheesin' for pictures but we must have caught her at a bad time!

Proof!

Proud Parents!!

Sorry for the picture overload and the lack of tan on my body!  I cannot thank everyone enough for the party, the gifts, and the love that was shown to us last night! I can't wait to one day till our little man about all of the excitement, love, joy, and pure happiness that was bottled up in our small house last night.

Baby Barras..

It's A..

BOY!!

Ryan & I could not be prouder to announce that we are expecting a baby boy this November!! We went to Fetal Fotos here in SLC on Tuesday night, I went in dead set on having a GIRL. I truly thought I was growing a vagina inside of me, I had the nursery colors picked out, the names, the picture themes, the bows, the ruffles everything!! To my surprise our tiny bean is a boy, husband cried, I cried, and I asked the tech how sure she was to which she replied "I am very very sure he is a boy! Start painting"! As a little girl I always dreamed about having a boy first, to be the man of the house when husband is gone, to protect this sister (if god grants us one) and to teach me how to be more of a boy mom than girl mom. Does that make sense? Anyways, I am thrilled beyond belief and can't wait to have another Ryan running around the house, If I never get my girl I think I will be okay with being a boy only mama! After we had our u/s we headed out to dinner and shopping it was such a great night, me, my husband, and what we could finally say OUR BABY BOY!! Keeping the secret until the next evening was a challenge but we managed and I am so glad that we did, it was very intimate to experience just the 2 of us! I will now fill you in on the goods; the party!

It's A...

Okay SIKE. We are not announcing what we are having until after our gender reveal party tonight! Husband & I know and man it sure has been fun to have a little intimate secret between the 2 of us! I think it is the first time I have realized that in a mere 175 days we will be a family of 3! Yesterday we went to Fetal Fotos & had a 45 minute session with the ultrasound and found our sweet pea! It was so bittersweet, husband and I were in tears of course. If you are in the SLC area I highly suggest you get your booty there and get those parts checked out! Thank God our party is tonight because I am dying to spill the beans, last night when Ryan and I went shopping I was so aware of the people around us because I didn't want anyone to see us in the BOY or GIRL section! So hopefully tomorrow I will have a chance to recap our party. I am off to Idaho this weekend and have been TOTALLY swamped and didn't catch a 14 week bump POST but I promise to do a 15 week one! For now here is the person taking up so much excitement and time in our lives as of now

I figured I could share all of the votes of the guys I work with. I think they are just being A-Holes and wishing for me to have karma 2 fold!

We will see who is right tomorrow morning! They are going to pester me all day at work today! Luckily it's just a 1/2 day! Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Today is the BIG day!!

Thank God our Corporate & Hyundai peeps are in the office today or else I'd be one excited space cadet! However, I have to stay focused and together because the big wiggies are here! I think it's a blessing in disguise because I'd be a nervous wreck! We find out at 4:30 tonight wether our bean is a BOY or a GIRL! Wish us Luck!!

Weekend Ramblings

Hey Lovies!
I had a crazy fun weekend! Let me recap and share pics!! Friday hubbs & I went out for Famous Dave's and then to see

It was everything that I read it to be but not much more. A sense of humor, sadness, qurkiness, and of course sassy! May I please ask the sweet lawd above to grant me looks like Brooklyn Decker when I am 8 to 9 months pregnant? That was fun but I was happier to meet with my bed afterwards, that seems to be my thing lately. Saturday I woke up at 8:00 AM and dove right into my house DEEP cleaning and office rearrangement! I don't have any pictures yet since it still isn't 100% done but I will post as soon as we get it together! I never did get to shower after cleaning Saturday my niece and 2 nephews were over later that evening for a sleepover! I love to have fun sleepovers with them, it met my expectations too! I was up most of the night because I have been sleeping like crap shit lately plus my nephew whom is 6 mo old missed his mama! Needless to say I was running on about 2 hours of sleep, we woke up about 8 AM. Fed the kiddies breakfast and took off for a picnic at Copperton Park and headed up to the Kennecott Copper Mine for some more fun!

Ry's tan usually never shows mine up but this Summer I am going to have to take a back seat to trying to out due my family in our yearly tanning comp.

I have been to the Mine a lot in my younger days, I think I probably took 3 field trips to that place. Though it was fun to see my niece and nephew marvel at the big hole I myself was just thinking about a nap! No way; this mama had way too much planned!

After they kicked us out for the mine blast we headed to the mall! I have been needing to get some new maternity pants for Summer and work and I have no time this week or next weekend to go so hubbs took me and I got some really cute comfy stuff! Afterwards, he treated me to La Frontera (my fav mexican place) & we headed home for the preimere of KUWTK!! If you heard about the Solar Eclipse I didn't fully see it but we did manage to get some sweet pictures!

I showered and hit the sack around 9:30 to prepare for my 5:00 AM wake up call!
