Updates!

Well we had our first Christmas together! We had so much fun! :]] But getting used to balancing time with both our families for the holidays is definitely going to be a learning experience for a few years!

Well I am definitely starting to show! I've been lucky and have been able to hide it for the last 5 months. But it looks like since I've started my 6th month and almost into my 7th it has definitely popped out! I'm so excited for our little guy to get here! He is moving more and more every day! Jud can even feel him now! :]] We went to a double feature tonight with Jud's family and through both movies he was kicking like crazy! He also seems to know when his dads hand is on my stomach; he will dance around for him!

For the last month or two me and Jud have been working towards the goal of going to the temple and getting sealed. Since we started this journey it has definitely had its ups and downs. I have learned that patience is a virtue. We have been reading our scriptures and praying together each night; and it is amazing how such a little thing can impact your relationship so much! I can honestly say that I have never loved Jud more than I do now! My stress has also been cut in half, Jud is helping more and more everyday with helping me keep the house clean with both of our busy work schedules. I'm sure he is going to be lots of help when the baby comes and he will be an amazing father! We are half way done with the missionary lessons and then we get to start the temple prep classes! Before too long we should be getting sealed! :]]

During the Christmas break one of my friends came down to visit. Unfortunately we were unable to get our busy schedules to match up; so we were unable to get together. Which sucks, because I miss hanging out with all my old friends. But ever since we all got married and started college and graduated from high school it seems like we all have so many different things going on. Life just seems to keep getting faster; and with me becoming pregnant and working and everyone else working along with school and moving to different states we don't ever see each other. Some days I just wish we could all go back to high school days. Like they always say, you never know what you have till it's gone. Hopefully one day we can all take a vacation together or something. Ha someday! :]] But you can always hope.

The last couple months I have grown really close to Jud's sisters. I have always wanted to have an older sister, mostly just because I have always been the oldest in my family! But now I have 5 older sisters and 3 younger ones! (counting my own little sister)

All in all I would say that I am loving life right now! I have a healthy baby on the way, a cute little puppy to keep me company when Jud is gone, the love of an amazing and supportive man who I get to call my husband, supportive and loving parents, and everything that I could ever ask for!

So that is basically what has been going on the last couple months and how I have been feeling! I feel a little better having said all this. I will hopefully have pics of my belly and ultrasound pics up after the new year. I have my next Dr. apt on the 14th of January and I'm supposed to be getting an ultra sound too. So once we get those pics I will see if I can get all those posted! :]]
