A Sofa, A Loveseat and Chairs . . . Oh My!!

We finally have furniture!! Yeah!! I can sit down at our table now and have a meal with other people and then sit in our living room on actual couches instead of laying on the floor! The joy is overwhelming!!

Baby Package

Grandma and Grandpa Bruderer sent us and our future baby a love gift!! It was such a lovely surprise to find a big package in our mailbox from Texas! We got two amazing baby books to read to our little ones and teach them all of the animal sounds that grandma wants them to learn. Included in the package was a pair of awesome maternity pants for me! And yes I have worn them already, I wore them for a whole day and they are amazingly comfortable! Thanks grandparents!

Park City

Scott wanted to get away for our 3rd anniversary. So we went up to Park City for a night. We explored the outlet malls for a while. Then we crashed in our hotel room for a few hours. We had dinner at Park City Pizza and Noodle. We walked main street for a while and peeked into the cool galleries up there. I found a fellow mother to be during our wanderings and stopped for a picture. We ended the night with ice cream at Cows and a movie. It was a lot of fun. It was just too bad I was having a really bad run in with morning sickness. So sadly I just laid there most of the time. But my good husband was just excited to be with me.

Hike to the Y

In all the years that Scott and I were in Provo we had never hiked to the Y. So the lot of us decided to make an adventure of it. Kara, Amber, Scott and I made the long trek uphill. It was a lot farther and a lot steeper than I thought it would be. But it was so fun to have all of us together. The actual Y on the hill is gigantic!! HUGE!! I have no idea how they did it! It looks like the surface of the moon. We did our hike at night at with flashlights. We sat up on the Y trying to find different locations across the valley. It was a lot of fun until we found huge spiders crawling around!!! Time to go!

IHOP!

The Bruderer kids all got together to celebrate everyone being in one place! April just got back from Europe and Michelle and the girls were still here before going back to Vegas. So we all got together for some yummy breakfast. The others didn't know but Scott and I handed out our fun little cards to everyone at the table. Everyone opened them and then launched into high pitched screams! It was so fun! Hooray for having a baby!!

The Secret Is Out . . .

A baby Bruderer is on the way!! (well another baby bruderer, congrats to Steve and Michelle as well!) I am due on March 10, 2008!! Which makes me about 11 weeks pregnant. I haven't been very sick up until the last week or so. I have really learned what morning sickness is. No puking, but the constant stomach ache and nausea are really starting to get to me. Scott has been such a trooper the last week. He has been faithfully waiting on me hand and foot. What a guy! I completely crash on the weekends. I am still working full time and plan to keep working through my pregnancy as my health permits. I haven't announced it to my work yet. I am still working up the courage. I had my first OBGYN appointment last Monday. I got to see our little baby inside me and watch it's heart beat. It was amazing. It started to make it real that there really is life inside me. I am so excited to be a mom!

Nieces!!

While Steve was away at boot camp in Alabama, Michelle and the girls stayed in Bountiful with Michelle's parents. Lucky for us they were pretty close for a while, so we got asked to babysit last week! So fun!! We went to the park, played lots of dress up, had mac and cheese, played the piano, threw rocks in the lake, and horsey. We are sad they are gone to Vegas now, but are happy that they get to be with daddy again!

Goodbye Provo. . .

So Megan and I challenged each other to photograph our walks home from work (like 6 months ago), and I finally did it. After my last visit to FOV Editions I walked home with my camera. Here is what it looks like!
