6 Months!

Well I'm six months pregnant now. It seems to be going by so fast. Only a couple more weeks and I will be in my third trimester. He has been kicking a lot more lately and Austin has been able to feel him too. I think he was taken back the first time he felt him kick but he thinks its one of the coolest things. It wasn't until last week that I noticed a big change in the size of my belly. I feel like I grew over night. Things are still going good and I don't really have any complaints.

My brother also got his mission call last Thursday. He is going to the Belgium Brussels Netherlands Mission (I think I got that Right!). He is way excited and he doesn't leave till June 3rd so he will still be around when the baby is born. I'm excited for that one.

It's a Boy!

Well it's a boy! Another grandson for both sides of the family. We are excited though. Now I can actually start buying baby clothes. My due date is still May 13 and everything looked good. At first during the ultrasound he was a little shy and kept his legs together but it didn't take long for him to let us know that he was a boy. Here are some pictures too. I'm 5 months ( 22 weeks) and I'm still fitting into my normal clothes, but I don't think that it will be too much longer until I have to start wearing maternity clothes. I'll try and do better about getting more pictures taken too!

Christmas

This year we had Christmas at my sisters. We got to her house on Christmas Eve just in time for the Knutson family tradition of German pancakes for dinner! After dinner the two little boys opened there Christmas PJs and we opened one present for my parents. This year they gave us the Christmas Carols book. Each kid in my family gets the same present each year and we all open it on Christmas Eve.  We had fun opening the rest of the presents in the morning and watching the boys open there gifts and then wanting to play with the toys right then and forget about everything else. We were able to stay till New Years Day and enjoy spending the holiday season with family, even though more than half of us got sick. I think my dad and I were the only survivors!

The latest news

Well it's been a long time since I updated our blog. I'm not really good at remembering to do that. Things are going well for us. Austin is almost done with this semester. His last class is on Friday! Work is going good for me, and I'm still enjoying it a  lot. But most importantly, things are going really well with my pregnancy. I haven't really been to sick so I've been lucky so far. We got this ultrasound about a month ago and that's when I found out that I was actually 4 weeks farther along that what I had originally thought. My due date is May 13, 2009 and we find out what we are having on Jan. 6th. We are both really excited and can't wait till may.

Home Sweet Home

We are living in a basement apartment in Rexburg. It is a one bedroom, but we have lots of room and it's close to campus. The ceilings are a little low so when Scott, my little brother, comes over he always has to duck! Its kind of funny. It took us a few weeks to get everything situated, but we now have it how we like it. The only thing missing is our wedding pictures, but we should be getting them soon!

The Kitchen! We have no dishwasher:(

Trip to Portland

I'm kind of slow at posting things but I liked these pictures so I decided to post it anyways. It's better late then never. On our way to Rexburg we stopped in Portland to go shopping, go to the zoo, and to go to the temple. We also stopped at some falls right outside of Portland on our way to Boise. They were fun to see. We didn't hike all the way up because we were in our Sunday clothes. Maybe next time we will. We had fun on our little vacation before Austin started school again.

I can't remember the name of these falls!

Hurricane Ridge

On August 3rd, Austin and I went to Hurricane Ridge for a picnic. Everyone here kept telling me how great of a view it was so it made me really want to see it for myself. The view was amazing and it was a great day too. We were able to walk around on some of the trails and enjoy nature.
