Life during the past month

It has been awhile since we had an update but every time I thought about it there was just either not a lot going on or a lot going on. Since our last post we have celebrated our one year wedding anniversary, moved and gotten ready for the baby. It is crazy to think that it has been a year since we got married! We have had our good and bad times this last year but I am so glad that I have Keith with me forever! He is a very amazing man and I couldn't have wished for a better husband. I decided to include some of our bridal pictures because I love them so much! They were done by my friend from work and she is wonderful!







For our anniversary we weren't going to do anything since the doctor wants me to stay close to the hospital if something goes wrong but I really needed to get away so we decided to go to Las Vegas and hoped that nothing would happen. It was a really nice trip. We were able to go see the blue man group and enjoy some really good food. We brought our new camera but of course we didn't grab the charger and the camera was dead.  We got a few random pictures on our phone but we forgot most of the time. It was so nice to just get away for a few days and have a break from life. It was entertaining to see people's reactions when they noticed I was pregnant. 


We visited Coke World and tried all the flavors


This was my favorite! It was Watermelon :)


This was so delicious! It was a steak fajita platter. 

When we got back to real life we were busy working and getting thing together slowly for the baby. We try and get things when we find a good deal. We have a good stock of clothes, diapers and wipes so far. We are still waiting to have the final decisions on the condo. It is a short sale but unfortunately it is taking a lot longer than anyone expected. Things have started moving along more lately so that is good news. It is a really good deal so we are just continuing to wait because we really want it.

While we are waiting we moved in with my parents since my sister moved out. Poor Keith will have moved us four times since we got married by the time we move into our new place. The first time I was in a cast and couldn't walk and then the other three times I have been pregnant. He has been really good about it but I'm sure he will be excited  to stay in one place for awhile.

Next Friday I have surgery on my  foot to get the screws out for the fusion they did last year. I will be off my foot for a weeks so it won't be as bad as last time. I think it will be interesting to use crutches when I'm pregnant. The doctor just thinks it will be easier to stay off my foot when the baby isn't here yet and I agree. 

We went to the doctor today and everything seems to be going well. We now have to go more often because the closer we get the bigger the possibility for complications. Thankfully the baby seems to be doing just fine it is just my body that really hates being pregnant. It seems like issues I had before have just gotten worse since getting pregnant. The most annoying is the kidney stones that keep coming. I knew I would always have them but they have happened more often since getting pregnant. I am very thankful for being able to have a baby but I really don't enjoy being pregnant. I'm glad it will be over in a few weeks and I will be able to enjoy this baby and hopefully have my body back to somewhat normal...


I crave Hawaiian Shaved Ice all the time. The people at the place told me I couldn't finish this on my own but I did and it was delicious!
