I just felt the need to share my excitement with everyone...
The Phillies won the World Series!!!
As soon as they won, I was overcome with so much pride, that a few tears may have escaped my eyes... though, I think that those tears may have been more for the little bit of homesickness that I was feeling at the time (and pregnancy hormones, i cry a lot more now.. fun, huh?) I wish I could have been there... Oh well! That's it. Just wanted to outlet my joy.. haha.

My Man...
This is my first tag ever. It was fun going through these questions. Thanks Kristie!
What's your husbands name? Andrew
How long have you been married? about 1 1/2 years
How long did you date? 4 months... wow, that was short... but we were engaged for about 5 months, so that makes up for it.
How old is he? 24
Who eats more sweets? It's usually a toss up, but right now it's probably me.
Who said "I Love You" first? Andrew did, but I dropped a few hints to let him know that I would say it back.
Who is taller? Andrew
Who is a better singer? I don't know. I know I can't sing at all, but I haven't heard him sing without being goofy.
Who is smarter? It depends on the nature of the subject.
Who does the laundry? Both of us, but I'm usually the one that folds it and puts it away.
Who pays the bills? Andrew, most of the time.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Depends on what side is furthest from the door. Right now, Andrew.
Does he snore? If he's in an uncomfortable position.
What does he do in his spare time? Anything associated with sports, LOL, and shopping with me.
Who mows the lawn? We haven't had a lawn yet, so we'll see.
What is his favorite candy bar? Reeses Peanut Butter Crispy Crunchy Bar (I'm not sure of the name).
Who cooks dinner? Me
Who drives? Andrew
Who is the first to say they are wrong? hahaha... neither.
Who kissed who first? It was mutual.
Who asked who out first? Andrew asked me first.
Who wears the pants? good question... probably both of us.
Does he say he loves you every day? Yes.
We definitely don't see eye to eye a whole lot, but he's my sweetheart and I love him dearly.
So now it's my turn to tag and since I don't know too many people in the blogging community, and everyone I know has already been tagged, I'm tagging anyone that reads this. Have fun!

Another week...
It seems as though the time is going by fast and slow at the same time. It seems like just a few days ago, I was standing in front of a mirror trying to convince myself that I was getting bigger, asking Andrew if he could see my baby belly yet, and him looking at me like I was crazy. At the same, time it feels like January is so far away (even though I know it's not). But I'm not rushing him! I want him to come when he's fully prepared.
I had another doctor's appointment this week. I had to take my glucose test, which I was dreading since everyone (including my midwife) told me it was very unpleasant. It wasn't that bad though. They had me drink a little orange drink, which tasted like orange Fanta with a funny aftertaste. I have to say the worst part was probably and hour later when they had to draw my blood. Ugh! I hate needles! They also checked on baby, and he's still doing well. He's a good little boy! And next week, I get to see him again and I'll make sure and post some of the new ultrasound pictures.
Other than that, there isn't too much going on. Andrew has another LOL show tomorrow night. He seems to have one every weekend, which I know he likes. For anyone who doesn't know what LOL is, it's an improv comedy club at BYU and they do shows every so often. They're really funny and you have a chance to see them perform, then go. School is still going well for him. And work is, well... work. It's still as frustrating as ever. I get so upset for him. I just don't understand how their business is able to function at all. Aah! We're also getting baby's space ready for him. We're just clearing stuff out and mapping out his space, trying to figure out where the crib will go or the his dresser, etc. , so that we can have as much space as possible. And then when that is all set up, it'll be time for the fun part... decorating!
Tonight, I'm dragging Andrew to go see High School Musical 3. Haha... poor guy! But I think he secretly wants to see it... so it's ok. Before I stopped working, I won some movie bucks and so I finally decide to use them. And yes. I decided to use them on High School Musical. I'm a big fan, what can I say? We don't go to regular movies, we only go to dollar movies so this will be a fun treat. Until then, I'm going to go eat since that's all I seem to be doing these days... I'm not going to like myself too much after the baby comes.

What to write about...
I'm not quite sure what to write about since the baby isn't here yet and there isn't too much going on in our lives except for maybe an endless string of doctor's appointments for me and school and work for Andrew. So that's what I'll write about.
I think Andrew likes his classes. Everytime time I ask him about it he tells me it's "fine". Work, on the other hand, frustrates him quite a bit. Many of the people at work don't take it too seriously and seem to make more work for the ones that do. He only works in the morning now, which I love because that means he's not getting home at 10 or 11 at night.
As for me, there isn't too much going on except for an endless string of doctor's appointments and dealing with new pains (and pounds) that seem to pop up out of nowhere. On Tuesday, I had one of my doctor's appointments that went pretty well. I go to a midwife clinic where there's about 3 or 4 midwives on staff and they rotate because they want their patients to get to know all of them. In past weeks, I seemed to have the same two and I liked them enough. The one made a point to let me know that a gained a little too much weight in between my 16 wk and 20 wk appointments. So when I stepped on the scale this last appointment, I was afraid to face her again. If she thought the previous jump in weight was bad, I was definitely going to get a talking to about this jump. Fortunately for me, I got to meet with a new midwife who said that my weight gain was good and not to worry too much about it because I'm perfectly healthy and baby is doing well. So yay! No scolding about my weight!
Afterwards Andrew and I went to Old Navy to check out their maternity section. They had a pretty good selection, but I'm picky when it comes to pants and I wasn't too crazy about theirs. I'll just stick with Motherhood when it comes to jeans. Anyway, we don't have full length mirror yet so imagine my surprise when I tried things on and looked in the mirror, and lo and behold! I was quite bigger than I thought. That side profile just about gave me a heart attack. I've got a big belly! And I thought I wasn't big enough for being 6 mos. I was dead wrong! I just looked at Andrew and started to laugh. We need a mirror at home.

Introducing our blog and our baby!
Welcome!!
So I've tried this whole blogging thing before, but I slacked. But since there will be a child here in our midst pretty soon, I thought that this would be the best way to keep everyone up to date.
