2nd trimester already???

Indeed... it is here. I am officially in my second trimester. I can't believe how quickly it is already going by. I am 1/3 of the way through my pregnancy! Crazy. Many haven't noticed, but I really do feel like I have already gotten HUGE! I can't even begin to imagine what I'm going to look and feel like when I'm farther along. Carrying two babies at once is going to be a craaaaaaazy thing! Here is my 12 week or 3 month picture. Soon enough I'll be posting my 4 month!

P.S. We had our annual girl's Christmas party over the weekend. So fun. I love my girlfriends so much. And I'm so very thankful for each and every one of them.

Christmas fun!

Lots has been going on with family and friends lately. That's why I love the Holidays so much :) Two weekends ago we spent the weekend in Park city in celebration of my mom finally finishing her dissertation and getting her PH.D. We had a fun get together with some friends. We ate dinner, made gingerbread houses, and watched a movie. Then, we went with other friends and saw the lights at the Temple and enjoyed dinner at The Dodo afterwards. Great times. Enjoy the many pictures! (In no particular order.)

The ladies...

Can't even believe it!

November 1st of this year Dave and I found out I'm pregnant! Even though it was a huge surprise and totally not planned we were really excited. We finally had our 1st appointment yesterday and it was so crazy! When we did our ultrasound our Doctor found a surprise! Not just one baby! But TWO!!! HOLY COW WE'RE HAVING TWINS!!! I couldn't stop laughing. I honestly can't believe we are having twins. Sooooooo much to look forward to! :) I really want to post our ultrasound but have NO idea how to post videos on here! If you can help out that would be great!

O Christmas tree

Last Thursday Dave and I finally went and got our Christmas tree. I have been beyond excited for our tree this year, probably because it is our first Christmas being married :) We went to the Home Depot and found a cute little fat one! Once we got it home I took care of all the decorating. Dave claims he would have helped if it weren't for me being so picky about things, but really, there was just too much football/t.v. going on! It was really fun and I love our Christmas tree so much this year!

Livin' at Alta Pines

Last night I really wanted to take a bath tub. I haven't had one in forever. Sadly... our bath tub has one too many problems that have been preventing me from doing so. Our plug is too large for the drain. When you put it in it slowly comes back out. I kept complaining about how badly I wanted a bath so Dave finally helped me out. He took a knife to our plug and cut all around it to make it smaller for the drain. Problem fixed. Next problem: The bath tub handle that switches the water from the shower head to the bath is broken. Dave said I'd just have to fill up the tub with the shower head. Problem fixed. I finally had my bath! Afterwards though, as the plug was being pulled from the drain... the plug broke. And remained stuck in the drain. Dave had to put his huge muscles into use and remove it. Phew! I would have never thought taking a bath would be such challenging work! I tell myself and Dave almost everyday that Alta Pines will only make us so much more grateful for when we have a nicer place one day! One where I can take a bath. Where we don't have to constantly complain about how our hot water runs out so fast. Where our dishwasher doesn't sound like it's literally eating our dishes. Where our refrigerator doesn't smell bad. Where our heating doesn't quit on us. Where we have door knobs! Where our mail actually gets delivered to us. Where we can have pets. I could name a ton more things! (Sigh) I'm looking forward to that place already. Until then... we remain here at Alta Pines :)
