Hello friends! I am a sucky blogger. I think we can all agree on that. BUT at least I am updating now right? Right? I totally left you hanging after the initial announcement so I will try to fill you in on everything now.
I am 26 weeks today. Until about 13-14 weeks I pretty much felt like I was going to puke constantly. I only actually threw up twice which I am grateful for but the nausea was horrible! I could hardly brush my teeth without gagging. It was awesome. I was also SO TIRED. I felt like I couldn't even stand up for 5 minutes without wanting to lay down. Now, I am feeling pretty good except that my skin is super, super dry. I put on about 3 layers of lotion several times a day. It doesn't really help to live in Idaho where the humidity is 0%. I'm still sleeping a lot but I don't feel as exhausted. I think its just from being pregnant AND my sleep schedule being crazy from working nights. I haven't really had any super bad cravings. When I was really nauseous I ate a lot of Jimmy John's and Ross Park Drive-In and grilled cheese sandwiches though.
We found out that we are having a girl! I have been feeling her kick and move since about 17 weeks. Dave can feel her move now too which is so exciting! She is one active little girl! The ultrasound tech lady could hardly get her to be in one position long enough to get the pictures she needed! I'm hoping that she is getting it all out now and she will be just a calm, sweet little girl. HA! I know that is wishful thinking but I can hope right?
I hope you all appreciate these pictures because it took FOREVER to upload them!
Here's one of the ultrasound pics. Isn't she so cute already?? :) The girl parts picture is clearly girl parts so I'm not too worried about her coming out and actually being a boy. Plus, my mom, my bro-in-law and I (or is it me?.... to be grammatically correct) had dreams that she was a girl. Also, pretty much everyone just assumed she was a girl as soon as I told them I was pregnant. Kind of weird right?
This is the bedding we got! And if you are wondering if that is the farthest we have gotten on the nursery the answer is yes! In our defense, we are going to base the rest of the decor of the nursery on the bedding and we just got it the other day! So thats my current excuse. :)
This is just an update from our life in non-baby news. We went to the Giants first two playoff games in October or whenever that was.
Here are the much anticipated prego progress pics. I look like a retard in the first one but whatever. Don't look at my face... look at my belly... or lack thereof I guess. Pretty sure Dave was making me laugh. I think this is at 10 weeks.
14 weeks maybe? I could look it up on my computer but I don't wanna...
18-20-ish weeks... :)
24 weeks... while we were in Antigua...
Welp, there you go! If I have left any vital preggers info out just let me know and I will let you know next time I update my blog... which at this rate will be after the baby gets here. :)

This is a pic from the second game. Pretty good seats!
Pic from the first game... about as far away as we could have been from the field and still be in the stadium. Haha... it was still way fun!
These pictures are from our trip to Antigua! It is in the Caribbean. We stayed at a Sandals and pretty much just laid and the beach and read for 5 days. It was awesome! My older sister's advice shortly after I told her I was pregnant was to go on a vacation before the baby comes! So we did! It was amazing and beautiful but we probably wouldn't go back to a Sandals. It was a little bit fancy schmancy for us. :) I am not really one to want to wear a prom dress to dinner every night. It was nice, just not really our style.
My birthday was while we were there and Dave arranged a candlelit dinner on the beach for me! It was AMAZING!!! Who would have thought that on my 27th birthday I would be having a romantic dinner on a tropical beach with a hot guy who also happens to be my husband? :) I am one lucky girl! It was a five course meal and my belly was about to explode by the time we were done!

AHHHHHHHHH!!!! You look SO cute!!! I can't believe it! The bedding you got for her is darling. Are you having fun shopping for little girl stuff? There are tons of cute girl things!! Do you have any names picked out?? Glad you're feeling better! I was nauseous a lot during my pregnancy, too. And I had horrible heartburn. So hopefully you don't have/get that. But it's all so worth it!!!
You do look so cute!!!! SO cute! You might not have anymore nursery stuff, but I do see wipes! That's important! :) I'm so excited for you Ashley!!! That is so cool you went on vacation before the baby comes. Trust me, it will be few and far between afterwords!
You better keep putting preggo pictures up for the next couple of months...you look great! That is awesome you guys got to go on a little vacation...im soo jealous! Good luck, and I hope you keep feeling gooD!
All I can say is YEA!!! Linds and I have been talking of the old times this weekend-you're always in them :0). Sooo happy for you guys! You look amazing and I am glad it is going well for you! You're trips looked amazing and have fun decorating!
That was a very impressive catch up post! And with pregnancy lethargy to boot! I don't want you to get a swelled head or anything -but:
you look fantastic,
your vactaion looked fantastic, the crib stuff is fantastic...
the logical conclusion?
YOU are fantastic.
But, don't bother telling anyone. They already know.
:0)
Wahooo! I am impressed with your updating skills. I have been waiting patiently for this post. You look as great as I expected. :) So beautiful AND I'm glad you guys went on vacation. Michelle must be a smart person. :) I second the questions Shannah asked so it looks like you have at least one more blog post before baby comes. Haha. Kidding. Kind of. But really you can continue to update us on your progress and I wouldn't complain. Very happy for both you and Dave.
