Today I went to my OB appointment and was told I can start to do a little more since my last ultrasound was so reassuring. I'm still off of work at least until my next appointment in 2 weeks but that is ok. Today I am doing what I have wanted to do for WEEKS now....
GO TO TARGET!
Seriously, it is my favorite store I think and I've been missing it so much! Unfortunately that is probably ALL I will do today because this body of mine has gotten pretty lazy being down for so long.
Also on the good news list, I am measuring about 2 weeks early and he is looking great. We had an ultrasound last week and it said he was 3 lbs 8 oz and looked great. It is always nice to be reassured that everything is going well. Our little man just needs to "cook" awhile longer before he comes to stay....we haven't even come close to finishing the nursery ;)

Isn't it ironic?
So, if you asked me about three weeks ago I would have told you that all I wanted was a break from work because I was hurting SO bad by the end of a twelve hour shift. Now I have exactly that I think I'm going crazy!
Here is my day:
10am (or whenever I feel like it)- wake up
11am-actually get out of bed, get dressed and go downstairs to the couch
11:10-turn on the TV
12:00-continue watching tv
1:00-crochet
2:00-TV
3:00-sign up to win free stuff
etc...
I do have to admit that with it just being christmas and new years that it was nice to have time to be home with Justin and the family, but now that that is over I'm a little unsure how the rest of this pregnancy will go. I still have hope that my doctor will decide that all is well and I can return to work this week...I'll keep you posted.
Other than being on bedrest we have had a pretty quiet few weeks. We spent Christmas eve in the new building that Justin finished. His family and a few friends came over for a really nice party. Justin had put a wood burning stove out there to warm it up and it all looked really nice. We all had a great time talking, playing on our new pool table and playing cards. I was perched very nicely on the couch out there and it was very nice.
Christmas morning was very nice with just Justin and me. I got very spoiled and I really enjoyed having our first christmas as a married couple together (and our last christmas as just the two of us). Then after our quiet morning we went up to my parents house were we were VERY spoiled by my parents and enjoyed watching my sister's children open there presents. It was a lot of fun!
For New Year's Eve we went over to my mother-in-laws for a nice evening with Justin's siblings. We had a lot of food and enjoyed watching movies. I sat on the couch and worked on more of my crochet projects.
That is about it for now....today it is back to normal (see the above schedule for my day) Will write more when I have any changes.

The next generation
Well, it has been a whirlwind of a year. We found out the end of July that we are going to have a baby next year. We are getting really excited! Trying to get the nursery together, trying to pick out a name and just enjoying the idea that a new life is coming to our family.
We don't have a name narrowed down at all, but we are excited to welcome a new little boy around April 1st.
Here is the most recent ultrasound picture of our little man :)

The Update
So, I guess being married has significantly altered my blogging habits. Most likely because I have been more busy since I've been married than I ever was before and we don't even have kids yet!! I don't know how all of you mothers out there do it, but I officially have great respect for each of you.
Well, I did get married in January and since then most of my time has been spent trying to help my husband fix up our house and yard. We re-did our family room and it looks so good! My husband is amazing! We also painted our bedroom, put in a new bathroom for the renter in the basement and remodeled both of our bathrooms. We still have a few things I would like done but for now since it is mostly nice outside,(Really wish Mother Nature would decide what it wants to do...) we are working on our yard. Last year all the grass was demolished with other construction so right now we are working on getting a sprinkler system in and will hopefully have grass soon. I can't wait to have a yard for summer bbq's.
Other than house stuff there is not much going on with us but I am happy to say that so far the first 4 months of marriage are GREAT! I'll try to keep you posted on the months to come.

2 months....
I am soooo excited. It is exactly 2 months to the day till I will meet my future husband at the temple and marry him for eternity! For now it is a lot of planning and some stressing along the way...
Honestly we are doing so good as far as being ready. We have the venue, the temple date, my dress, bridesmaids dresses, food, decorations, etc... Now I find myself searching online for stuff I can do for the wedding. :( I've officially decided I'm probably crazy, but can you blame a girl for being excited?
Here is my little plug for addresses. If you read my blog and I haven't asked for your address or you aren't on the address list that Grandma Hellewell just send out, will you please send me your address so I can send you an invitation. Thanks

Engaged
Sorry, this isn't much, but I was realizing that I hadn't even posted that I was getting married. So, for those of you that don't know I am getting married January 15th in the Bountiful temple. My fiance's name is Justin McEwan. He is amazing and I am so lucky to be marrying him for eternity.

Cute kid pics
Hey everyone. I know i'm horrible at blogging lately. I am super busy lately it seems...although I do seem to have time to jump on to facebook so I should find more time for my blog :P
On monday this week my family went to Antelope Island, a state park which has antelope and buffalo running wild. It was pretty fun. It used to be a running ranch and the ranch house is open to walk through. The kids really loved it, and the adults had fun too. Here are a few pics from our trip. Enjoy :)
I didn't have any good pics of Liam...so he isn't included in these pics, but I'll upload one soon. Hope everyone is doing well.
