I'm bored, so here comes a blog post. Can I just say how much I love being pregnant? The very beginning was a little hard and I definitely did not love it them because of all the nausea, but I am loving being pregnant. I love the thought that I alone am responsible for this little girls' welfare and it has changed my life. Literally. Everything I do has to be a little different now, from the way I drive to the things that I eat, because my sole purpose in life right now is to make sure my little girl grows and is healthy. I LOVE using the excuse, "I'm making a tiny human, may I be excused?". I love that I can eat a piece of cake and not feel guilty about the carbs. I love watching my belly grow and seeing all the changes in myself. And, I love feeling her kick because it's reassuring and reminds me that she's there. I just love this little girl so much already and I cannot wait to meet her.

In other news:
Dan passed his board exam!!! He got the letter yesterday and he did tons better than he thought he would. I am so proud of him and I'm glad that is over. The not knowing has been torture, so it's like this huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders. No matter what happens from now on, he passed his veterinary licensing board exam, and that's amazing.

I hope you're all doing well and staying warm. If you have any suggestions about good TV shows I can get into and watch whole seasons of, let me know.

I'm still feeling pretty good, aside from some minor aches and pains. Everything is going well with the baby and we're both healthy.

Lately, I have been babysitting this guy


his name is Lucas and he is adorable and so well behaved. I've really enjoyed having him around because I desperately want a dog. I wonder if Jess will let me keep him...

Also, it finally snowed!!!


This was just the best present to wake up to. LOVE snow.

This Year

2010 was a great year. It was probably one of my very favorites so far. We did so many fun things!
- I had the best semester of my life
- I did a 30 day wardrobe challenge and proved Dan wrong
- Dan had his white coat ceremony and we got to show his parents around
- I graduated college (yay)
- Dan and I went to the cabin with his family
- We found out we were having a baby
- We spent one great week in Dallas with my sisters
- We had great costumes for Halloween
- We got to spend a week with my family for Thanksgiving
- Dan took his board exam (yay)
- We sent in our list of duty stations that we would like
- Found out we're having a girl
- We got to spend two weeks in Utah spending quality time with his and my family
- We spent oodles of quality time together
- And we grew closer together

What a great year... It will be missed. However, 2011 is bound to be even better. We're going to have a little girl in a little over 3 months! This is both exciting and terrifying. I am excited to see what 2011 has in store for us, where we'll end up, what our lives will be like, and what being a parent is going to feel like. All I know is that whatever happens and wherever we end up, that is where the Lord wants us. Happy New Year everyone! It's going to be great!

Oh, Christmas Tree

This is what Dan calls "Britany proofing" presents. He wrapped my presents in between two throw pillows so I won't be able to tell what they are. haha. Plus, they're wrapped with duct tape. Such a boy.




Merry Christmas everyone!

Utah

Yes folks, we are finally in Utah. So far, we have had a lot of fun with Dan's family. Last night we had a girls' night while the boys had a boys' night. That was great. Us girls went to dinner and then to see Harry Potter, while the boys got Baconaters and watched an action flick of some sort. It's a win-win-win for everyone. I can't wait until Sunday because I get to see my entire family. And I mean, the WHOLE family on both sides. Yay!! My aunts are throwing me and my cousin, Jessica, a joint baby shower on Sunday as well that I'm really excited about. It's going to be so much fun.

Sorry, I still don't have a baby bump picture. I'm working on it! I just keep forgetting to take one, but I am 22 weeks now and feeling great. Our little girl is wiggling and kicking like crazy and we're already so in love with her.

Boy or Girl? Emmett or Evelyn?

I got an ultrasound done on Monday and they could tell what the sex of our baby was, but since Dan wasn't there I decided not to let them tell me. So, the nurse wrote it down and sealed it in an envelope. Dan and I decided that we would open it after he took his Board exam as a sort of celebration, and yesterday was the day! We got back from Kansas City after Dan took his 6 hour test, bought some Martinelli's and opened our envelope.












Complete and total shock





And we couldn't be more excited.
