20 weeks.. 1/2 way there!!!

Last week my belly really popped out! It was so exciting and it seemed to happen overnight! I am finally enjoying being pregnant, I am not sick and my back doesn't hurt so bad I can't walk. I am feeling pretty good. I think I am starting to like food a little bit. I do love Puffy Cheetos! I ate a whole big bag in less than a week....

I got a fetal heart monitor from amazon and it is amazing! I can listen to the babies heart beat when ever I want now!! I LOVE IT!!

Happy New Year!!!

We had a little party at our house to celebrate the new year! I had an aweful cold and Dane is having horrible sinus issues again, but that did not stop the PARTY!!! Thanks to our awesome friends for being so AWESOME!

we are having a little baby....................

We are so excited to have a little girl! I LOVE doing hair and buying cute pink clothes! I found the perfect crib bedding set today and of course it is PINK! I am almost 1/2 way to meeting my little baby! Its crazy, I can't even really imagine being a mom and caring for a sweet newborn. Dane is just awesome and has been very caring to me through all my ailments with the pregnancy so far. He is going to be an awesome DAD (weird... he's going to be a dad!)!!!

Already Stubborn...

Dane and I were so excited about our doctors appointment tuesday, we thought we would be finding out the sex of our cute little baby. Nope, the baby would not cooperate. So we have to wait two more weeks.......... So this will remain on our fridge for a couple more weeks!

For a Good Cause...

About 4 months ago I read this article in the paper about this man who was climbing in a cave in southern Utah. I remembered hearing about it on the news and was enjoying reading about what I thought was an going to be an amazing rescue. I was about 1/2 way done with the article when I realized the man didn't make it. Tears started rolling down my face as I looked at the pictures of his wife and now two children (She was pregnant when this happened). I thought about this women many times since then, being pregnant and all. This morning I read another article. This time about a cross country bike ride this womens brother, cousin and friend were doing to help others who have lost a spouse and are now single parents. All money Dontaed goes to a charitable foundation called the Liz Longelin Foundation. I encourage everyone to check out this website http://www.nuttyputtycyclers.com/ Get in the holiday spirit and make a donation for a good cause!

VeGaS RaGnAr

So at the end of October I went a little insane and ran the Las Vegas ragnar at 9weeks of pregnany and I was the sickest I have been so far. It was still fun but way, way harder than I could have imagined.

My First run was 8.8miles. The first 6 miles went great, I felt great, I ran fast and thought I was in the clear with less than 3 miles left which were all downhill. Then I got way sick.... I struggled BAD, I had to walk part of it.. but I made it.NIGHT RUNNING!!!My second run was 3 miles, it was so fun and easy, I ran way fast and really enjoyed it!The truck says Katie+baby!!Oh ya these were just HUGE trantulas I had to run around and dodge during my last run... I never thought I would see this wonderful sign, I really sucked it up during my last run. It was 6 miles and I just had a hard time.AAAAAHHHHHHH running FAST to the finish line!So glad to be done! I rushed straight over the the pancakes as soon as I could breathe enought to eat.

My van!!! Dane and Tony came down to support us!

Our team: Strip Tease.

I LOVE these crazy races and am sad I can't run Wasatch Back in June, but I plan on running Vegas nexy year!!!

****10 YEARS****

Dane and I count our years together starting with the day of our first kiss! It was October 31, 2000 and we were in his best friends dad's truck. A weird coincidence 10 years later, that very truck we had our first kiss in was sitting in front of our house!
