The Baby is Kicking!

So, this morning as Diana and I were getting ready for church, Diana started feeling the baby kick. She's been able to feel it for a few weeks now, but I haven't. But this morning, I finally felt a kick!!! It was sooo cool! I have never felt a baby kick (at least not an unborn baby, haha). We are so excited for this little baby to get here! We find out on Friday, September 5 if we're having a boy or a girl. Any guesses?

P.S. Doesn't my beautiful wife's haircut look awesome!

We're Back in Provo!!

We have a lot to catch up on. Josh finished his internship this last week and received an offer for a job. We're still thinking about all of our options but overall, he really liked the internship. When he came home from Disney World, I absolutely couldn't wait to see him. I never want to be away again. He brought me a chocolate tin of Mickey Mouse. It's adorable and chocolate is definitely my favorite.
So, we left on Wednesday morning at 4AM for Utah. We drove all day, slept in the car for like 5 or 6 hours and finished up our trip. The drive went by really fast and was so fun!! We sang to the radio, listened to Harry Potter 4, and slept a lot. It was a really great trip! When we got back, we were able to get into our apartment right away which was really nice! Then, the next day, we rented a U-Haul and with the help of family and friends, we were able to move all of our stuff in only an hour. That was way better than the last 12 hour move!!! Pictures of our house are soon to come.

On Saturday, our friends Jeremy and Stephanie Lovelace took us out on a picnic in the canyon in South Fork Park. It was amazing! The view was breathtaking and the weather was perfect. It was so fun to hang out with them and their little girl, Audrey. It's so nice to have such wonderful friends.

Josh especially loved playing with Audrey. I just know that he's going to be the BEST daddy in the world. I can't wait for him to be able to play with our little baby.

Ok, so I know I already posted pregnancy pictures but I just HAD to do it again. We took a picture today and compared it with old ones and about died! Look how HUGE I am!! It's so fun to see the difference. The first picture is me at 14 weeks and the second one is 4 weeks later at 18 weeks. Isn't that incredible?!! I didn't even know that I looked that big. We have our first doctor's appointment in the morning with the doctor who will deliver our little bundle of joy. We can't wait!!

I haven't had access to the internet in about a week and a half and it's been AWFUL. I don't know if any of you have had to go through such a terribly internet lonely time, but it's hard. Now that I have it again I feel like I'm living the life!!

My sweet husband is off to Disney World without me. Ernst & Young took interns from all over the world to Disney World this week for a intern conference; unfortunately wives weren't invited. Sad day huh? I miss him so much. This is the first time we've been apart in a year. The good news however is that I get to spend all week with my family. It's been great. My mom and I are busy cleaning out closets, and it's actually really fun! We all went out to eat last night and had a great time. Josh and I are headed back to Utah next week to get settled in before school starts and just can't wait!

Stone Mountain

On Friday, Diana's family came up from Columbus and we all went to Stone Mountain for the laser lights show. The mountain is one big rock and it has a big carving of Robert E. Lee on the side of it. It was really fun to go with everyone, even though the show was definitely only something we'd want to do once.

I'm growing...and so is my Banana bread!

My stomach is growing super fast now! This first picture is me just four weeks ago. Now, I'm 14 weeks and am really starting to show. I even wore my first maternity shirt today, (I didn't need to but I thought it would just be fun). I've only gained 1-2 pounds but supposedly it's about to hit hard and I'm going to gain a pound a week! It's been great lately; my morning sickness is almost completely gone and I've even stopped thinking that every food ever produced is gross. Lucky for Josh.
Ok, so not only is my stomach growing but so is my banana bread! On Sunday, we decided to make some bread for a Sunday night treat. Well, our bread pans are in Utah, but we have this big casserol dish. So, before we poured the batter we cut out some cardboard and taped it to divide the pan in half. It worked great! All the batter stayed on one side and we thought we did pretty good with our little invention. Well, once we took it out, the taped cardboard had been rooted up and the batter swelled to fill the entire pan. We thought it was pretty funny! The banana bread turned out GREAT! Maybe the cardboard even helped a little bit! ;-)

What we've been up to

We haven't been very good about getting pictures up here recently. Here's what we've been up to:

We got to go to another Braves game on July 2nd, this time with Ernst & Young. It was a lot of fun. The firm gave us $30 in "Braves Bucks." Most interns bought beer, but since we don't drink, we got Diana a new Braves shirt. She loved it!




Our 4th of July was really fun. We went down to Columbus to spend the weekend with Diana's family. We had a big barbecue and went out on the boat. We had such a great time! Diana made an awesome flag cake!

My internship is going great. I was on the AT&T Mobility audit for 3 weeks and I've been on ING for 1 week. This week, I'll be on ING again and then next week I'll be on Delta Apparel. After that, the firm flies all the interns from all accross the world to Orlando for a big Ernst & Young intern conference at Disney World. It should be fun, though I don't get to take Diana with me. :(

My Sweet Nephew

My brother Dale and his wife Amanda are staying with us for the week while they wait to move into their new place. Their sweet little baby David is keeping us all entertained. We've had so much fun having them here. This morning Amanda let me take some pictures of David. I can't wait to take a million pictures of my little baby. In the meantime, I'll practice on him.
