Baby Webster is a..... GIRL! :)

Yesterday, at 16 weeks, we were able to find out that Baby Webster is indeed a girl! 

Since the beginning I have felt that this baby was going to be a little girl, but recently I started doubting myself. I had a dream one night that was about a baby boy and I thought maybe it was supposed to mean something. However, right before our ultrasound Matt and I both gave our final votes. He said boy. I said girl going back with my first instinct. We would have been over the moon about either a boy or girl, but we are very happy we get to welcome a little girl into our family! We are in love with her already!

Baby Webster-- 15 Weeks & Heatstroker Softball Tournament

I've made it to 15 weeks! Yay! :)

This weekend we had the opportunity to go to St. George for the "Heatstroker" softball tournament. Matt was invited to play with a team and we had a lot of fun! It was very warm, ok that is an understatement, it was HOT! But the games were at night so that was nice. Friday night the team played all through the night; and when I say ALL through the night I mean it. 10 O'clock PM, 1 O'clock AM, 3 O'clock AM, 4 O'clock AM, 5 O'clock AM, and 7 O'clock AM Saturday morning. It was a long night and I am proud to say that I only dozed off during one game, go me! :)

The weekend was a very nice get away. We were able to stay with  Josh, Katy, Blake, and Riki so it was nice to have people to hang out with between naps. It was a very much needed break and it was a bummer to have to come back! 

Baby Webster-- 14 Weeks

I decided maybe I wouldn't do a post each week with an updated survey just because things don't change that quickly.. ha. I promise though, if anything changes I will definitely post! Here is an updated belly picture of me.

Also, this week we got the chance to get a little peek of baby! We were hoping to get a peek at either the lady or man parts but baby decided not to corporate with us so we will try again in a few weeks. Just for fun here are a few ultrasound pictures. :)

We are so in love with this little guy or girl already!!

Headstand!

Baby Webster--13 Weeks

How far along: 13 Weeks

Total Weight Gain/Loss: At the Doctor this week I was +2 lbs

Maternity clothes: No maternity clothes, just my regular ones.

Stretch marks: Nope.

Sleep: I haven't been near as tired this past week, still loving to sleep but i have not felt like I need it as much as the last handful of weeks. 

Best moment last week: Getting to hear the heartbeat again at my doctors appointment!

Movement: Not yet. I wish. It would be nice to know that baby is doing good between doctors appointments! 

Food cravings: Still craving anything spicy. I also have never been much of a pepper eater, but we tried DP Cheese-steaks last week and oh boy was it yummy! I had their "Hot Pepper Cheese-steak" with extra cheese. It was topped with banana peppers and jalapenos, yummmm!

Gender: We are still counting down to the day we find out!

Labor signs: Nope, and that's a good thing!

Belly button - in or out?  In.

What I miss: Umm.. Nothing major so far. This pregnancy has been wonderful, I haven't been sick (knock on wood) and its been great!

What I am looking forward to: Same as last week. I still can't wait to find out gender and to start the nursery. I'm excited to paint and all that jazz. 

Milestones: Had my 2nd doctors appointment which feels good. Its nice to go, hear the heartbeat, and know that everything is going good. Next appointment is at 17 weeks. 

Baby Webster--12 Weeks

How far along: 12 Weeks, 1 Day

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Depends on the day, but I think I have gain a few pounds.

Maternity clothes: Nope, still in my regular clothes.

Stretch marks: Not yet… Hopefully not ever but I won’t get my hopes up.

Sleep: All I want to do is sleep. I wake up once or twice a night to go to the bathroom, but I’m still sleeping pretty good, just wish it was more!

Best moment last week: Brainstorming names with Matt and finding some that we agree on. It’s still hard though not knowing what we are having.  

Movement: Nope. Can’t wait to finally feel her or she though. 

Food cravings: Anything spicy. I have lucked out thus far and haven’t gotten heart burn or anything like that, so spicy foods are still my best friend. I can’t get enough of the “Hot Chili Sauce” that Wendy’s has. Random, I know. 

Gender: Still unknown, but I can’t shake the feeling that I know what baby is. Guess we will find out if I am right or wrong in a few weeks. :) 

Labor signs: No way Jose! (Thankfully)

Belly button - in or out?  I've always had an innie and it has stayed that way so far.

What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach and having the energy that I used to. I still occasionally will wake up on my stomach during the night but I am super uncomfortable when I do, so I think I have to kiss that goodbye for the next 6 months. 

What I am looking forward to: Finding out if Baby Webster is a little boy or little girl. Can’t wait to pick out names and start buying things. Mostly I want to start the nursery.

Milestones: I felt really good this week when we hit the “12 week” mark. Technically the 2^nd trimester doesn't start till next week but there is just something about 12 weeks that feels really good!

Cruisin'

We have been counting down to this vacation for 200+ days and when the time finally came it was wonderful! Just a warning in advance this post is going to be a picture overload-- consider yourself warned!

We were lucky enough to fly out of the Provo airport to Arizona where we were staying with Matt's uncle and his family for a few days before we started our long journey to Texas with some friends of ours via driving which means 17 long hours in a car. (What were we thinking?!?) It was a long drive, but it wasn't as miserable as we were expecting. We had a lot of long conversations, silly moments, mini sing along sessions, and pit stops/potty breaks. Eric and Brenley were a blast and we were glad to have someone to share the trip with. 

First day on the ship-- better believe
we hit up the soft serve ice cream first!

Shopping in Jamaica

Kind of blurry.. But fun!

Beautiful beach in Jamaica

Toes in the sand-- Wish we were back there!

"Jamaican Jerk" chicken, pork, and shrimp
SO good!

Beautiful beach in Jamaica-- So pretty!

Beach in Jamaica again

On the tender boat to Cayman Island

On our way to "Stingray City", Starfish cove, and a reef to snorkel

My cutie :)

He dove and got this one off the bottom of the ocean

Goofy snorkel gear.. I know  

Amazing Race in Cozumel--Such a fun excursion!

They loved being back in Mexico getting to use their Spanish again

The ship in Cozumel

The trip was so much fun and it was such a needed break for us. We hadn't taken more than a weekend get away since our honeymoon 2 years ago. I am so glad that we booked the trip when we did and that we went. I would most definitely go back on this same cruise, there was so much that we could have done but did not have the time at each of the ports. 

A big thank you to my parents who "doggy sat" while we were gone. I know how big of a pain they can be and they didn't complain at all! (Mya has decided that she has to eat breakfast by 5:50 AM each morning-- high maintenance???)  

Oh and how could I forget this.... I got my first EVER speeding ticket while driving through Texas. They say everything is bigger in Texas, and I guess that includes their speeding tickets... $250 dollars later... Yay me!

(Excuse the pictures at the end and the way they do not line up with the rest.. I cannot figure out how to fix them)

Playing Major Catch Up

Wow do I have a lot to catch up on! Since the last time I wrote I have had surgery, I graduated from school, Matt finished another semester of school, we went on vacation, I celebrated my 22nd birthday, we celebrated our 2nd anniversary, and many more things I am sure I am forgetting. 

In March we got a new bedroom set and I helped Matt move all of our old stuff into the guest room the night before. The day our furniture was delivered I lifted and moved some more stuff around to set the room up the way I wanted it. That night I woke up in a lot of pain and the next day I realized the small hernia that I already had was much bigger than it was before. I finally decided it was time to see a doctor about it and I was having surgery by the end of the week. (It was super fast, but I had to make sure I was going to be 100% before our cruise in April-- more on that in the next post!) They ended up finding not only one but two hernias, one on each side, so they fixed them both while they were in there. Matt was great and took very good care of me and while I was all cooped up in the recliner Mya was my snuggle buddy. :)

My "not so little any more" Mya

Like I mentioned Matt and I both finished another semester of school... I just happened to be lucky enough that it was my LAST! Yay! So I have officially graduated and am on my way to becoming an RN. It has been quite the roller coaster ride the last two years with school, but it has been a very good experience. In a weird way I am going to miss it but I am also very grateful that it is over. And the graduation celebration cruise was more than worth it! :)

My birthday weekend is filled with a few other family birthdays, so we spent a lot of time with family. I of course did not take any pictures (shame on me..) but it was a very good weekend. We went out to dinner to celebrate my birthday and my dad's birthday and the next day we went out to lunch with Matt's family to celebrate his sister's, dad's and my birthday. We love weekends full of family time!

Our anniversary fell on a Monday this year and Matt had to work, so we kept it pretty simple. But simple is good-- in my opinion. Matt was able to get off early and we headed up to one our favorite restaurants Los Cucos and we decided to shop at Ikea a little bit. Afterwards we relaxed a little bit before Matt played some softball that evening. Like I said nothing extraordinary but just getting to spend the day together works for me! I cannot believe it has been two years already since our wedding day! It has both flown by and seems like it has been so much longer. We never have a dull moment and I love every second of it. I wouldn't change it for the world. I love you babe, and can't wait for many more years to come!
