Going to Utah

For this cute girls wedding!

Just call us the Murphy's

Definition of Murphy's Law: Anything that can possibly go wrong, will go wrong

I seriously think that our last name should be Murphy. Whenever something happens to us, or could happen to us, it always goes terribly WRONG! Remember this incident? I mean honestly, who does this happen to? Today was no different. I got back from lunch and put a piece of gum in my mouth as usual. All of a sudden I feel something crunchy in my gum. I think back to what I had for lunch and realize, I didn't eat anything crunchy. Then I feel the inner side of my teeth and lo and behold my left, bottom moller (sp?) is jagged. I take the piece of gum out and in the middle of it is the other half of my tooth!! I begin freaking out, and then all pregnancy hormones take effect and I start bawling. Once I gained my composure I remembered that my father-in-law was a dentist and every sister-in-law was once an assistant and can probably offer some advice on what to do. I called Jamie and after she calmed me down, she was able to tell me that although I thought life as I knew it was over, I would be just fine. I called the dentist and luckily they could fit me in. 

Dr. Lords put a temp filler on until he can fill it next week.... Hopefully I won't need a root canal! The piece that fell off was pretty significant, and he is concerned that the cavity will get to my nerve/root. 

I promise I brush my teeth....I confess I need to floss more, but should not flossing really make my teeth crack? Don't answer that. Also don't tell me Diet Coke is to blame, because we all know getting rid of it is not an option. (don't worry, I am going on a 9-month hiatus of Diet coke... but you better believe that is the first thing I want after delivery!)

Until next time... Have a good day!

From the mouth of babes

We came to California this weekend for my mom's graduation (pictures to follow). But I had to record my conversation with Ava from this morning. I was getting ready for the day in the bathroom and Ava came in. She ran into my mom's room and grabbed this book....

She then points at the picture in the frame and says, "Jin-Jin look! It is Dorothy, oh my favorite Dorothy!"

I just about died. But she kind of does look like her, in a polyg-y kind of way?

Love you Ava Bava!

Just some thoughts...

(** Sorry no pictures! We accidentally packed all our camera chargers, so it might be a while!)

1. Food

I don't remember the last time I actually cooked a meal. First we were moving so I had no kitchen, so we ate out for dinner. Then I found out I was pregnant and the thought of cooking both gagged me, and I will crave something and have to have it that moment. I just tell Andy, "Baby wants chicken nuggets" (or fill in the blank of whatever sounds good). For instance, last night I HAD to have a Tempura Vegetable crunchy roll from Sushi Plantation. Unfortunately, driving 4 hours to California was not an option, so Sushi Dan had to do. It was SO good. Tonight all I wanted was pizza. Andy said ok, I'll order one from Pizza Hut. Unfortunately, baby had something else in mind....

I had heard Rocco's was good.... but it was delicious! They had the best by the slice pizza so we could both get what we wanted. Plus they had garlic knots, AND the yummiest funnel cake/pizza crust dipped in powdered sugar. I think I may have have gotten my appetite back! My doctor was concerned because I haven't gained any weight yet... I think her concern will be over after my next appointment! 

2. Las Vegas Summers

I have been DREADING the summer coming all winter long. No offense to any las vegans, but last summer was just plain awful. I was explaining this to Andy last night, and he said that last summer was awful, because Andy was on crutches ALL SUMMER LONG! Which meant I had to do all the yard work, dog poop scoppin, house cleaning, carrying in of groceries, car washes...you name it, I did it. But today I got a glimpse of how wonderful Las Vegas Summers really are. We had Robby and Veronica come over and swim, Cari and the girls came over and all day we frolicked in the water, ate watermelon and played Colors. It was pure bliss. Plus, afterwards I wasn't covered in sand! If everyday this summer is as blissful as today, I can't wait for summer!

3. Pregnancy

A lot of people have been asking, "how do you feel?" I feel pretty good. I have really great days (today) and really bad days (last wednesday and thursday). I am always tired, but if I get to bed by 8:00 I usually am ok for the next day. My skin is really dry (is this normal?) and I feel bloated all the time. I crave fruit and gatorade 24/7, as well as fruity candy. Sitting next to me right now is a bag of skittles and starburst. At work I have a drawer full of Tropical Jolly Ranchers. We are very excited to find out what we are having next month (Costa Mesa Specialist here we come!). We both feel like it's a girl... but we don't care boy or girl. 

Well those are my thoughts today.... I will try and dig out my camera charger soon! 

Happy Saturday!

First came Love...

Then came Marriage...

Now comes our Baby in the baby carriage!

I was trying my hardest to wait till 12 weeks... but today I had my first appointment and after seeing our little guy/girl I can't wait any longer! Baby Coons is 10 weeks old and is coming this December and we are thrilled to finally tell you!! Now bring on the Cheetos, Golden Spoon, and Grapes!

Just got out of the swimming pool....

My new post-work activity. I'm loving this 90 degree weather... Summer here we come!!!
