Ultrasound #1

I had some requests for pictures . . . So here is our first ultrasound from March 17. I haven't taken any "pregnant belly" shots but I shall post them when I do. I am getting a little belly that I am very self conscious about!

I am about to EXPLODE!

Many of you have probably been wondering to yourself: "Huh, Amanda is kinda starting to look like a square." or "Is she seriously eating AGAIN?" or "I wish she would stop walking into class 20 minutes late every thursday morning!" or my personal favorite "Did she just complain about missing her afternoon nap? I swear she just woke up!" Well . . .

I can't hold it in any longer . . . WE ARE PREGNANT!

We went to the doctor yesterday for our first ultrasound and everything is going perfectly. The little guy was bouncing all over the place and waving his little arms and legs. (I say "he" because Preston claims he only makes boys!) We also got to see his and hear his little heart beating! It was the coolest thing I have ever seen. We were so excited to know that everything is going well and that the little guy is just growing and growing!

With that being said, Preston is totally carrying the next one. I can't eat what I want, I can't cook, I can't exercise, I can't stay awake for a full day, I am getting chubby and Preston claims I am making it all up! AH! For rude. So he will be pregnant next time.

We are really excited though and hope October comes quickly! :)

Just a Few Years Later

So I found this picture of Preston and I from back when we were dating... barely dating. Look at little and cute he was! All gap-toothed and everything. It's no wonder I fell for him after one date! For those of you who don't know our dating story . . . well you are in for a treat. Back in Nov 2007 I sent the love of my life off on a mission, promising that I would wait. Now refer to the date on the picture . . . yeah, just a few weeks later. Well, actually I met Preston the SAME WEEK my missionary left. The Lord works in mysterious ways. We were seriously in love after the first day and saw each other at least 2x a week during the months of Nov and Dec while he still lived in Kaysville. He would often drive up to Logan after working a full day, stay till 5 or 6 in the morning and then drive home and go back to work without sleeping. My parents insisted they KNEW we were the real deal when I spent my 3 week vacation in Hawaii on the phone with this boy from Kaysville, Utah. And it's true. We were engaged in February and married in June 2008. I can hardly believe that it has been almost 2 years since we were married. I love him more than I ever thought I could love anyone. He is truly who I was supposed to be with for eternity. So here's to crazy love stories! If you got one that can top that . . . let me know!
