Need Advice.

So I have been looking for a diaper bag. They can be sooo expensive! I am having a hard time spending so much for a diaper bag. One that I really like it the Petunia Pickle one, there is a picture below. It seems very functional but is $89! Not sure I want to spend that much but I would hope it would last for all of my babies. Anyways the question is do you think spending that much on a diaper bag is ridiculous? I have been kind of looking around and it doesn't seem like that much more than diaper bags at target and other places. So for you mommies out there any advice on what diapers bags are good and where to look? THANKS!

28 Weeks!

Well I am 28 weeks along as of yesterday. I feel like I am so big now. I can feel my little girl kicking more and more all the time. It is a really cool feeling. I got to talk to Matt on the phone today which was nice. I didnt get to talk to him very long but anything is better than nothing I guess. He gets his phone back next Wednesday so we should be able to talk a lot more then. My schooling is going well, it keeps me busy. My job is okay they are starting to let more people go so we will see how long it lasts (I am a temp, Matt says not to worry but I am a worry wart. Anyways everything is going really well with me, Matt and our baby girl. Hope everything is going well for you.

Vacation

Well I am finally going to add some pictures from our cruise (we went back in October). We had so much fun! I am not going to say what each picture is cause that takes too long! Enjoy and happy Sunday!

Prego Pics!

Well I finally got a new camera cord so I was able to download some pictures. Here is me at 4 weeks, the day we found out I was pregnant. Then getting an ultrasound at about 24 weeks and a the last picture is about 25 weeks. I am now 27 weeks and have some more recent pics but I didnt want to download more pictures because our computer is ghetto and takes forever. The pregnancy is going really well, I have an appointment on Monday but our baby girl is kicking around and getting bigger. When I have my ultrasound at 24 weeks she was measuring about a week ahead so we will see how we are doing on Monday. It is crazy to think I am 6 months pregnant! That went by soo quickly, I hope the last 3 months go by just as quick. We now have alot of the big stuff purchased we have a stroller (thanks to Matts parents for Christmas YAY!) carseat, baby bedding (thanks to my parents it is sooo cute!) crib, dresser, and the cloth diapers are on the way. We are both getting so excited for this cute baby girl to come to us! Matt is doing well, he finishes Basic Training on the 27th of this month then he goes to his individual advanced training in Texas. Once he is done with basic we will be able to talk on the phone more which will be sooo nice! Writing letters is nice but talking on the phone is soo good! It is hard while he is away but it is nice that I can stay busy with school and work and it sure does keep me busy! I am taking 6 classes this semester and working 40 hours! It is crazy but nice because then I dont have time to feel lonely or sorry for myself haha. Our Christmas break was so nice! It was amazing to have Matt home for 2 whole weeks! He got to feel our baby girl kick and was there for an ultrasound which was nice. We had soo much fun and it was hard to have him leave again. I cant wait until April comes because then I get to meet my baby girl and Matt will be home shortly after that (hopefully he gets to come home for the birth to). He should be home for good in May and then we can move on with our lives, I know that is a poor attitude to have but really I feel like we are just stuck in limbo not being together. Anyways I dont update very much and my posts are never very interesting so sorry! haha

Matt is home!

Well he is actually out Christmas shopping right now. I am so glad he is able to come home for Christmas! It has been so very nice to have him here with me! I love him so much and am so very lucky to have him as my husband. We went to my doctors appointment this morning and both baby and I are measuring perfectly and are healthy. I have had such a good pregnancy so far. We are so very blessed!! I know it would be so hard on both me and Matt if things were difficult for me while he is gone and I am so glad that we have been so blessed and things have gone so well so far. I have such an amazing husband! He is going to be an amazing father. He is so patient and kind and always willing to help others. I hope our baby girl gets his good heart, he really is the sweetest man ALIVE! I am really starting to show, enough that strangers even ask me if I am pregnant so I am getting pretty big. It is weird but exciting at the same time! Matt was able to feel our little girl kicking and it is so fun! She gives some good kicks and punches, you can see my belly move sometimes when the kicks are really strong. I am really excited but also really nervous to be a mother. What a huge responsibility not only just to feed and cloth but to love and teach. I guess I still have a few months to prepare. I hope everyone has an amazing Christmas (yes all two of you that read this) my sweetheart just pulled up so I better go give him some suga ;)

4 More weekends!

So just four more weekends alone and I get to see Matt! One of which is my favorite holiday THANKSGIVING! I figure I went 19 Thanksgivings without Matt I suppose one more wont kill me although I would much rather he could come. Brittany got married this weekend and everything turned out beautiful for her! It was such a nice ceremony and reception. It is fun to go to sealings and remember the covenants me and Matt made to each other and our Heavenly Father. How lucky I am to be sealed to him forever (and our soon to be little one too!). It sure makes me appreciate what a good man he is and how lucky I am to have him. He is going to be such a wonderful Dad he is the sweetest most patient person. I got three letters from him this week and got to talk to him once so it was a really good week! The only down side to the week was I had a ton of homework and I didnt get everything done that I should have so this week will be crazy too! I have two stats tests this week that I am dreading, I would really like to do well on the tests but I am getting very anxious about them which is never a good thing. I know blogs are sooo boring when someone doesn't put pictures but really this is acting more of a diary for me to get my thoughts out. I feel like I am starting to get a little belly although I mostly just look like I have gained a couple pounds and dont look pregnant quite yet but I am only 18 weeks so I think that is okay but hopefully I will start showing soon. I would like to look pregnant when Matt comes home for Christmas just cause I think it would be fun. Anyways that is all for now.

I have the cutest family in the world!

So my parents have pictures up of all the kids in our family in our kitchen. My little niece Abi was eating dinner in the kitchen and saw Matt's picture on the wall and said "I love Matt, I want to marry him someday". I thought it was the cutest thing ever! Boy are little kids the cutest! Also my wonderful sister Jenni made me a countdown to when Matt comes home. She bought one of those countdown to Christmas calendars and then changed it to countdown until Matt comes home that I get to start opening on November 23rd (which is the same day as my 20 week ultrasound, I cant believe I will be half way!). Then I only have 24 days left and he gets to come home for 17 days!! She is sooo wonderful! So I am redoing a dresser that I got for $20.00 that I am pretty excited about! I will post before and after pictures when I am done but it still needs a lot of work. I have a lot of projects I want to do for the baby but I am having a hard time getting motivated! With school and work I feel like coming home and being lazy. I guess I only have four projects I am REALLY wanting to do, I want to redo the dresser and crib we have for the baby and make this really cute lamp shade and mobile. I really need to get some motivation. This month it seems like I have at least one thing going on every weekend so hopefully this month will go by really quickly, weekends are for sure the hardest. Well I still cant find my camera cord or I would take a picture of the calendar cause it really is so cute! She put a picture of Matt's head to cover Santa Clause and a picture of my head on one of the little kids.
