Homestead and Halloween

Martin's work paid for the tech's to go on a retreat up at the Homestead in Midway. It was amazing. The colors were beautiful.

Here was the view from our private balcony.

Seth and BriAnn hosted a Halloween party this week. It was so much fun. They were giving away a prize for best dressed so I figured we'd have to actually dress up. I was thinking a cowboy would be good for Martin, and I would be a cowgirl or indian or something. When I mentioned it to Martin I said "So I'm thinking you can go as a cowboy and I could be a..." He interrupted me and said "A cow?" I thought it was SO funny. So that's what we went as a cowboy and his cow.

We bought Martin's costume and I looked everywhere for a cow costume but couldn't find anything. So I made my costume. I just bought white sweats and sewed black felt spots on them. I think it turned out pretty well.

In the pictures you can kind of see my baby bump. Every day it looks more like a baby bump and less like my fat belly. I had another doctors appointment on the 26th. Everything is going great. Sara came with me and we got to listen to the baby's heartbeat. I love hearing that heartbeat! The doctor said we could have the gender ultrasound sooner than 20 weeks. So 10 days from today is the day!!! I am SO excited.

Crazy Week

The last week or so has been fairly busy. For my birthday, I've been wanting to go down to St. George. I had made the reservation for our hotel in March, so I really wanted to go, and we were able to both get off work and head down for the weekend. It was great to be able to spend so much time together. When we both went back to work I was having withdrawals from not being with Martin. We didn't do a whole lot while we were down in St. George. I wanted to go to Tuachan to see Tarzan, but wasn't playing the Saturday night that we could have gone. I didn't even pull out the camera while we were down there, but it was so nice just to relax and be together. On our way home we were able to stop and spend some time with Kevin and Whitney. It's so nice to see them, and I wish we would spend more time with each other it's always great to talk to them.

Friday before we left for St. George, I had a job interview for the Sales Coordinator position at work. Tuesday I got a call that I got the job. I'm pretty excited but very nervous. I start training for that tomorrow.

Thursday I had another Doctors appointment and I got to see our baby again. Martin couldn't make it because it was right after we both took time off for our vacation so he couldn't take another day off. My Mom was able to come with me though so it was nice not to be there alone, and I'm glad she got to see our little one moving all over the screen. The doctor said everything looked great.

I have been having morning sickness. Throwing up usually just once in the morning before I get some food in me. I know if I ate crackers or something right away, I probably wouldn't throw up, but I just can't force myself to eat right after I wake up. I did just buy some graham crackers, I could probably handle eating those first thing, but saltines I can't. I'm almost out of the first trimester also, so I should be seeing some relief soon. I'm hoping my energy comes back too.
