RAIN!

I love the rain! I love the smell....the noise....everything about it! I just love listening to it hit our roof! It rained all night last night and is still raining this morning! I can't even being to tell you how much I have missed it! It hasn't rained like this in forever! It made me think about calling in sick this morning just so that I could snuggle up in my bed, open the window and just listen to it pour. Unfortunatly I didn't call in sick, but I still was nice snuggling up this morning and listnening to it for a few minutes. For the past couple nights I haven't been able to sleep very well and last night it was just so soothing to listen to the pitter patter on our roof. I still didn't sleep well, but it was so much more enjoyable to listen to and not the loud bark of the dog next door. Have a fabulous day!

Taking advantage now....

So....I was talking to one of my best friends today (Meghan) and she asked me what I was doing.  At the time I was working...but then it got me to thinking that I am really one of the most boring people ever!  Ever since I got pregnant all I want to do is to go to work, take a nap during lunch, either go to the gym with Peter after work or come right home and make dinner,  and right after dinner go to bed.  I seriously have been in bed at 7:30 every night ( except Thursday's for mutual ) for the past like 3 weeks at least. Some weekends I will stay up, but end up going to bed around 8:30ish and that feels super late for me.   Like right now, I already have my teeth brushed, my pj's on, and in bed writing this.  I plan on going to bed right after.  I just don't have any motivation to do anything.  It is kinda depressing actually.  After I have the baby then I will be super busy and not be able to have this kind of schedule so I should be happy and take advantage of it now.  Yeah.  I am going to take advantage of it and not think of it as depressing.  I am going to have a positive attitude and think that I only have 4 more months of these quiet, long, goodnight sleeps so take advantage.  Okay, I am not feeling too bad about me going to bed so early now.    Nice writing to you.  I am going to bed now.

 

IT'S A BOY!!!

I had an ultrasound today and my doctor said that he is 95% sure that it is a boy! We are so excited!!! This will be the first Sundell boy and the first grand child on my side! It was so fun! He was moving around and it was so much fun to have Peter there and see him move. This was the first ultrasound he has been to. I didn't get a picture this time, but in a few weeks I will be able to get one and I will try to post it.

Well...I am sure most of you know that I am pregnant, but if not I am!  I couldn't be more excited!  It is so crazy that at the end of March I will be a mom!  I can't wait!  About 6 weeks ago I went to the doctor and got to see the baby, the heart beat, and got a picture.  I was so amazing! 

We told our families about about 3 weeks ago. Peter told his parents by putting a picture of our baby on the fridge and when they got home from Powell they saw it.  It didn't surprise me that is how he wanted to tell them.  They called us when they got home and Abby was so excited! She was telling me when she saw it she screamed!  Nancy and Kris will now have 6 grandchildren!  Wahoo! 

When I told my parents I was so excited I kind of just blurted it out while my mom was in the middle of telling me some story.  It was funny!  I wish I would have recorded it!  At first she didn't believe me and then she started to cry, laugh, and scream all at the same time!  It was amazing!  After I told her I called my dad and his reaction was..."I am going to be a grandpa!"  It was cute!  

I had another doctor appointment today and it was crazy!  I can't believe how fast babies grow!  It is so much bigger compared to the first picture they took!  I am due around March 23ish.  In about 6 weeks they should hopefully tell whether it is a girl or boy.  I don't really care though...I am just so grateful that I am pregnant!  Anyways,  I hope that all is well with everyone!  I will try to write more on here.  It is just so hard because my life right now is pretty much the same, but I will keep you updated on anything exciting coming up!  Take care all!

HAPPY 25TH BIRTHDAY!

I just want to tell Peter HAPPY BIRTHDAY and how much I love him and how grateful I am that I have him in my life. He does so much for me and I couldn’t have asked for anything more in a husband! He has made me the happiest wife in the world! He is 25 today so here are 25 things that I love about him!

1. He is very sweet and always making sure that I am happy.

3. He makes the best of every situation…even helping me with my Young Women’s stuff.
4. He is strong in the church and loves his calling.
5. He loves kids and is super excited that we are having one!

25. He is very loving. He is always telling me how much he loves me!


I love you!

Lake Powell!

So, I am a bit late in blogging about my fabulous trip to Lake Powell, but a lot has happened in that last month and I just forgot.  

I look forward to this trip all year long and this year my best friend Meghan got to go with us!  We had such a fun time!  We Sea Dooed, went on a small hike ( more like walked up a rock ), swam, tubed, ate lots of food, drank lots of coke and got our tan on.  We left on a Sunday evening and got back the next Saturday.  It was so much fun to going with Steven, Jenny and their cute kids too!  I can't even describe how fabulous this trip is every year!  It's my kind of heaven!  Anyways, here are some pics!
