Goodbye 2012....HELLO 2013!!!!

I am fully aware that its been a good year since i blogged last, im only human and things have been super busy. I know im failing at blogging but hopefully this year ill improve......thats my goal at least.

2012 was such a fun and exciting year. It brought a lot of milestones in our lives...for starters, we bought our first home. Its been a process but its finally come together and we love that we now have a place to call home. We also reached our one year anniversary in May. Yahoo! One year down, eternity to go.  In August we found out that we are expecting OUR FIRST BABY. We had been trying for a few months but for some reason when you finally see those two blue lines on the stick it still comes as a shock.

We honestly couldnt be more excited to start this new adventure in our lives. This will be the first grandbaby for Dave's parents....which only makes this more exciting.
 My mom happens to be a labor and delivery nurse at Orem Community Hospital so we decided that we want to have our baby there. With her being a nurse we have the opportunity to see our little nugget basically anytime we feel like it. So when 16 weeks rolled around we went in to see if we could guess the gender. Well we guessed wrong.....little turkey crossed its legs the whole time so we couldnt get a great shot. I guess thats why people wait till at least 18 weeks :)

    We are having a sweet baby girl and her name will be  

Whitlee Jordan Schwitzer.

  Luckily my pregnancy has been pretty easy so far. I was nauseous the first little while but i never threw up which i will happily take any day. I do struggle eating meat still but other than that nothing has bothered me too much. Sleeping has become more difficult because im so used to sleeping on my belly and i cant do that anymore.  I feel blessed that everything has gone so smoothly so far.

I am now 23 WEEKS along....only 17 to go! It feels SOO nice to finally say i am over half way and that the baby will be here before i know it. Dave has now started talking to her every morning and every night. I can't even tell you how awesome it is to see the excitement in his eyes....makes me love him more each day. Hes going to be the BEST DADDY. Her kicks are slowly getting stronger and Dave is now able to feel her.

He loves that. I Love that.

I'm sure this year will be scary but so exciting and i don't know that we are fully prepared for it but i think thats just part of life....so bring it on 2013....let's make it better than ever!
