Dr. Appt, Christmas, New Years, and UTES!!!

So I know this is a long overdue update…. But I’ll be brief with all of it! First let’s start with my first official Dr.’s appt.

My first doctor’s appointment was on December 17th! I took that day off of work so that I wouldn’t have to rush and so that Dan and I could spend the day together and do some much needed Christmas shopping afterwards. The appointment was GREAT! We were able to see the baby and hear the heartbeat again! I can’t believe how big the baby is already! My first ultrasound I was only 8 weeks and the baby basically was a peanut with tiny sprouts for arms and legs… this time, the baby had everything… it actually looked like a baby! Haha! It was just so exciting and great to see that the baby is doing well and growing. I tried so hard not to cry but I couldn’t help it. It was such an overwhelming feeling! After measuring the baby – the doctor moved my due date up 2 days…haha so we are now due June 22nd! My next appt will be on January 20th – I will be 18 weeks (4 and a half months) and we will be able to find out the sex of the baby soon after that! So I will keep everyone posted! For those who don’t know… Dan’s family only has boys… he is the oldest of 4 boys, and basically all of his cousins from his dads side are boys, so his family is betting on us having a boy – my family, well mainly my dad, is SURE it is a girl and they have already named her and everything! LOL So it will be very interesting to see and to tell everyone the news!

Christmas was so amazing this year. After the wonderful news of our baby… we decided to cut back a little this year on Christmas – I’m so glad we did. It really made us think more about the true meaning of Christmas and even thought we didn’t give each other as many presents this year… It was actually way better than last year! It was such a great Christmas!

New Years was so much fun as well! We are so lucky to have such wonderful families so close to us! We were able to spend New Years with both of our families and had lots of fun! We can’t wait to see everything that 2009 is going to have in store for us!!!

GO UTES!!!! Oh and lets not forget about the University of Utah game on Friday! For those of you who don’t know – Dan and I are HUGE Ute fans!!! We had season tickets this year which was so awesome considering they were undefeated!!! We were also planning on going to the Sugar Bowl but since it was in New Orleans, we decided not to.. but we watched it none the less with a bunch of other avid Ute fans and it was AMAZING! I love Ute football!!!!!!!

Well that is all from here – and just so everyone knows… I love reading everyone’s blogs, I might not comment all the time because I am usually at work when I read them and can’t spend very much time doing it – but I love hearing about your lives and feeling like I am in touch with everyone! Haha. And just so everyone knows… I got a new phone and I lost A LOT of peoples phone numbers! My number also changed, so PLEASE send me an email with your phone number! My e-mail address is lisa.garner@acs-inc.com ! Thanks everyone!
