Back to blogging...

Yay! We got a camera for Christmas!!! Finally I can start posting pictures again. My ultrasound went well two weeks ago. The baby was super active in there...hmmm maybe like dad! It was really fun to watch. We were in awe! The little hand went across the screen and we could see all of the fingers and bones. It was so amazing. The baby was stretching out a lot too which was super cute. I'll post the pictures when I can get to a scanner. We were unable to tell what the sex is with all the movement. Our next ultrasound will be at the end of January. Hopefully we will find out then if the baby lets us. I'm farther along than what they originally thought too. I am 16w and 2d today! Time seems to be going quicker now.

We had a nice Christmas. It was low key. My sister Sarah was up from LA which was really nice to see her. Tala and Brian weren't able to come up because of all the weather. We have been laying low and catching movies here and there. We went and saw Marley and Me. Loved it! If you are a dog owner it is a must see. We had many connections to the movie. It made us appreciate Roy even more than we do. Other things we have been up too...

My niece Gianna turned 3 yesterday! We went out to dinner to celebrate and then to Cold Stone Ice cream for dessert. She is such a cutie! We bought her a barbie and a baby doll. Girls are so much fun to buy for!

Today Katie and the babies and Trina and the girls came over for lunch. The boys were out numbered for once in my house today! They left to run errands while the girls and Carter hung out for some well needed girl time!

I have turned a corner!

That's right! I am feeling so much better. It is amazing how I have somewhat forgotten what morning sickness was like already! I had my 13 week appointment on Friday where I heard the heart beat. It was so amazing! Now I really feel pregnant. I have an ultra sound scheduled for 6:50am on Tuesday. Justin wasn't too happy to hear the what time we have to get up, but we are both excited to see our baby again. I'm anxious to see if the baby is still a week behind what I thought. I'll keep you posted! We might be able to find out the sex too! If we can, we will have them write it down in a card and we will open it on Christmas morning. It is still early, so who knows what we will or won't see! I'm starting to show a bit. Looks like I have a beer belly. Ha! I'm still able to fit into my jeans, however I'm not very comfortable. I look like I have a muffin top because my jeans are so tight...oh well! It is all worth it. I do have the Bella Band, so I can unbutton the top of my jeans for some relief! I'll post a picture soon of my growing tummy. I'm hoping Santa will bring me a new camera!!! My camera is 5 years old and isn't taking very good pictures. Plus, I still can't find my camera cord.

This weekend, my sister turns 30 and my brother turns 18! Two memorable and specials years for them. It will be a great weekend...both of my sisters will be in town! I'm so excited!!! I miss them. It isn't very often where my whole family is together at once. Cannot wait! Friday we are having dinner to celebrate Ty and Sarah's birthdays, then on Saturday we have our Hiatt family Christmas party on my mom's side. We have a very large family and always have a ton of fun.

Thanksgiving Weekend

We started our Thanksgiving festivities by heading out to Pub 85 In Kirkland on Wednesday to see some friends. We ended up having a great time. I was finally feeling better, so I hung out the whole night and was the DD!

On Thanksgiving day, we headed to my parents house. Justin's family was there too. It was nice to have both of our families under one roof to celebrate! We had many great conversations from politics to Colon cleansing! Tala and Brian were in town with their dog Cali too! Grandma Hiatt came over as well. Both my family and Justin's love to play games, so we played chicken foot dominoes and Justin and I came in first and second place! WHOOO!

Tala posing with my black lab Roy. Roy is 4 and he has a grey chin already! He is the sweetest dog I've ever known and his fur still feels like a puppy. So adorable! Okay... I may be a bit bias!

I love you Aunt Tala!!!!

Isaiah and Roy cuddling while playing what else...video games.

On Friday, my niece Gianna came over. She will be 3 after Christmas. She was so much fun to have around. I need a little girl around more often!

Gianna LOVES Roy and Roy Loves Gianna! I pulled out a couple of crowns I had in a closet so she could be a princess and she followed Roy around trying to put the crown on him. It was really cute. They just follow each other around and love to cuddle!
