Remember when I was really pregnant?

Hi! Remember when I used to blog? Well here I am, a stay at home wife, ready to give it another go. I have been told by medical professionals that this pregnancy thing will be over fairly soon (although I hardly believe them) and so I feel it necessary to write a few of my thoughts about pregnancy. Here are some people/things who have meant so much to me these past 9 months:

NPR.
Nicolitalias Pizza AND buffalo wings.
My work GFs who always told me I looked pretty and went with me for french toast sticks when I had to have them.
The Snoogle.
My mom and mom-in-law. Both have told me such sweet stories of what being a mom means to them.
Ali, thank you for making things for my baby and being as excited about her coming as I am.
KFC mashed potatoes.
My bathtub.
And of course, my cute husband. In the first trimester he never complained that I only left the house for work. In the second trimester he said things like, "The only place you have gained weight is your stomach." And now, after we get done reading about the stages of labor and I couldn't feel more scared he'll lean over and tell me, "You're going to do awesome." What a guy.


Our original due date was the 15th of this month but was moved to the 25th after our first appointment. Last week they told me she could now come at any time. Yikes. Although I can't wait to have her here to hold and to be with, there is so much of me that wants her to stay in my tummy forever. I just love that right now we do everything together, best of friends.

I really think you are going to want to see her when she gets here, I have a feeling she will be pretty cute. I'll keep you posted, wish me luck!

Here I am, pregnant

My amazing friend, Heather Norton Mildenstein, took these family photos for us. Thanks Heather, we had so much fun!

So here I am in all of my pregnant glory... enjoy!

After a year and a half...

We have finally hung pictures on our walls! I felt it was worth blogging about. A milestone in our marriage.
Happy June! xo Andrea

fiery hot

Today I got really worked up. Long day at the office, oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico, traffic, Arizona immigration legislation, that's enough to drive a girl crazy! I came home to a relaxed husband watching Arrested Development reruns on the couch. He was having such a great time I was so happy that he was there and that I am his wife and that he helps me not feel like a crazy. And so I say to all of you: watch more netflix, and love your rommies, it helps with the craziness.

sunday bbq

We work a lot these days, drive a lot, ride our bikes a lot, and today we even had a bbq with friends. Love you dearly. Happy Summer!

little brother blake and pie and his mission call!

South Provo can get kinda lonely when your husband is out of town on business. Fortunately I have a little brother at the dorms to come play with me. And fortunately little brother Blake is taking Food 101 at BYU. And fortunately they teach him how to make things like apple pie which he comes and bakes at my house. And fortunately I have an Iphone to document the whole thing.

I got so excited about the pie that I did the pie dance...

Blake whipped the pie out of the oven and then with his hot mitts on did a little pie dance of his own!

Go B-dawg!

And best news of all... Yesterday we found out that this little guy will be reporting July 28th to the MTC to go to the Chile, Vina Del Mar mission! We are thrilled for him and all of those Chilenos who get to enjoy him for two whole years.
