Here are some pics for all of you who have been asking and even for those who haven't. I don't love them..but, who really loves pics of themselves when they have a sudden 'mongo expansion out their front...and in my case out the back!?! I got my hair done today and I am feeling somewhat pretty for the first time in a while so here they are! :) Oh, they are from 23 weeks along.
Here is a side view
...and here is a front view...
...this is better with the hands you can see a little more curve..
..and I CANNOT believe I am posting this one..but, it shows you what I mean about growing out the back..


**OK so I realize I sounded a bit dramatic up above. I just want to let you know I am doing well..it's just a big adjustment is all.

Baby Faddis!!

We went in for our ultrasound and baby Faddis is healthy and strong. The ultrasound tech went through all the important stuff and then showed us the little bum and legs and asked us if we could tell what we were having. Ry said YES! in an excited tone so I waited for him to answer; when he didn't I looked over to him grinning ear to ear! He was soooo excited to find out we are having a little boy!! I think this video (from our little guy) shows just how Ryan feels.

well it won't let me upload it for some reason. But, it was our little guy doing a backflip!

Let us know what you think! We will find out this Friday..the ultra sound was moved up. YAY!

The Poll is on the right side of the page.

Pregnancy Update

Thanks everyone for the congrats! So to answer some questions: I am 16 weeks pregnant and due February 13th. We find out if we are having a girl or a boy on September 24th and I can't wait! I don't have any special feelings on what the little one is. I am glad to be in the second trimester as I was pretty sick the first trimester. I got to hear the heartbeat today and it was at 150. I will try to post in another few weeks to get a poll as to what all you think Ry and I are having.

Here's a familiar little poem for you all!

First comes
Then comes


Then comes the BABY in the

Spoiled!

Since I am visiting my family and they are all taking their traditional Sunday hibernation I figured I would update. I have decided I am terrible at taking pictures so unfortunately there will be none. Today is a very beautiful Easter day and I am sooo grateful for what our Lord and Savior has done for us.

On April 3rd I was spoiled..hence the title. It was my birthday and my parents took me out for my all time favorite food even though they can't really stand it. I ate to my hearts content and maybe even converted my dad a bit. My dad tried the Vegas Roll...yes my all time favorite food is sushi!! He had more than one bite and was brave enough to have some sake; IE raw salmon. He said it was very tender and wasn't as fishy as he thought it would be. I think he might even try some again.

After sushi I met up with some of my favorite people for shopping in SLC. Amanda, Annesha, and Abbie were so much fun to hang out and shop with. I loved seeing them and hearing all about what they have been up to. It was fun to see Amanda and Annesha's cute little boys too.

After driving home I got together with my little sister Jen for dinner and...you guessed it some more shopping!! We went to another of my favorite places to eat..Costa Vida!

I was sooo tired after such a fun filled day I went home and went to bed.

On Saturday Ryan took me out to dinner to Texas Roadhouse! The food was really good! I did however feel like I really was older when I turned to Ryan and said "I really kinda just wish we could be eating this at home on the couch watching a movie". He agreed so we had our food packed up..(after about two bites) and headed for home. Let me set the scene for you so you can understand our reasoning.

We got there after the priesthood session to find a huge line. They told us it would take about 15-20 min............after about an hour we were seated. We ordered and then started talking when to Ryan's left and my right a group of about 7 people in their 20's started telling stories. Oh yes, I could here every word of the guys sap story of his bad date and all the money he spent. Such a waste. On to every other persons dating horror stories (at the top of their vocal capacity I am sure. Yeah they were the type of people who were sooo beautiful on the outside and had sooo much money who couldn't understand why they weren't on dates. So ugly on the inside. We were sitting right next to a "half" wall. One of those were someone can peak over and talk with you. Well that is exactly what happened. Except it wasn't just anyone, it was a drunk waitress who put a roll up on the flat part and said "watch out, I am going to flick it". Then she proceeded to flick it off the wall into the lamp and almost hit me. I had to dodge out of the way. So yeah, I didn't feel too old asking our waitress to pack up our food and head for home.

Over the next few days the spoiling continued with presents from family, dinner at the in laws, and my cousins taking me out for Sushi. And, the celebration continues even til today with some Dream Cake. Yay, I am going to go wake up the hibernators to enjoy the springtime and my moms famous cake! Next time I will try to have pictures.

Church Ball

Tonight I learned the real meaning of church ball! Ryan has been playing church ball this season. His 98th ward team just made it into the Region Finals. I have been a mere spectator until tonight. Tonight I learned what church ball is really all about. It is about making sure the right time is on the clock, fouls are marked, calls are made, points are given correctly, and the time clock/score girls get yelled at! Yes...that was me and the other 98th ward girls who were volunteered by the refs to do a job we were not really wanting or properly prepared for. The other team MADE SURE we were doing are job right and if we made even the slightest mistake we were sure to hear about it.

DON'T WORRY... IT ALL ENDED UP BEING WORTH IT BECAUSE OUR MEN DOMINATED ALMOST DOUBLING THE "WHINERS" SCORE!! Good job Ryan and other 98th ward ballers!
