You don't know how happy and relieved I am to have our big news out there into the world! I can finally talk about it all. It's hard to keep a big secret like that. Anyway, I've been pinning to my Baby Board on Pinterest for a really long time, but recently I've found some really cute items and inspiration for baby. At this point everything I like is somewhat neutral since we don't know what we're having yet. There is some CUTE stuff out there!

Little legs
So... this is where I've been. Well, I've been sitting on my couch being lazy and feeling really, really tired. For the first time in my life I've slacked at making dinner 90% of the time, which kills me (I hate wasting money on eating out constantly). My house has been a disaster, I've barely gotten dressed and I've had to rest if we walk for more than a few minutes. But it's all worth it. Yesterday we got to see our 13 week baby and it's tiny little kicking legs. When the technician found the baby and it appeared on the screen it just blew me away. It's so strange that something is inside of you, moving around, and you can't feel it. It's a miracle!
We are both ecstatic. Obviously, I'm also stressed about losing control of my body and how I feel, which I never thought I would care about. But somehow I do. What I really can't stop thinking about is that mine and David's days alone are numbered. It's just been us two for so long. But we are ready to add more to our family and very excited about it. I can't believe the time is finally here...we can't stop smiling.

Happy Weekend!
I am so happy it's Friday! I love two nights of uninterrupted sleep and a break from my early morning work. Our plans for this weekend include:
Puffy German pancakes
A walk on the beach
BBQ with family on Sunday. I'm making these buns again for burgers. So good!
Lots of cookies and cookie ice cream sandwiches.

My dessert last night was my #1 favorite thing inside my #2 favorite thing. (channeling Ron Swanson)
What are your weekend plans?

Men
I'm reading Mindy Kaling's book right now and I love the chapter about the ideal man. (It's actually titled "Men need almost nothing to be great.") It breaks down how to be a great guy. Here are some of my favorite points:
-Own several pairs of dark-wash straight leg jeans
-When you think a girl looks pretty, say it
-Avoid asking if someone needs help in a kitchen or at a party, just start helping
-Have one great cologne and wear very little of it, all the time
-Get a little jealous now and again, even if you're not strictly a jealous guy
Her explanations are funny and real. I love it. Here are some guys I think are great:

The Good + the Bad
We're working on New Years goals over here and preparing for school mode again. Basically we've been super lazy soaking up the last days before studying ensues when I'll have copious amounts of alone time. It's kind of funny, but I never thought I'd like being by myself again after I met David. I guess 6 1/2 years of being together and 5 years of marriage was the mark where I began to feel it was okay. :) I also can't get enough sleep right now. I've gone through a few weeks here and there since starting my job where no matter what I do I can't catch up on sleep. This week is one of them, and I am so excited that it's Friday!

Goods + Goals:
We made a plan to only eat out for dinner once a week and have stuck to it this week.
I got a new book and I plan on reading a lot more this semester (TV is my downfall)
We finally got our last piece of 'necessary' furniture, thanks to my bil. A dining set!
Disneyland has been super empty this week which means no long lines
Plus we made a res. for Blue Bayou the day before Valentines Day. We've never been!
Badnewsbears:
So tired.
Knowing mine + David's lazy lounging days are over for a few months
I've had a cold for almost two weeks, and David had one that went away but it's back again, and worse!
At least the good outweighs the bad :)

New Years at the beach.
Christmas was awesome, but we barely took any pictures. We spent New Years weekend at Pismo with David's side of the family and we did get a lot more pictures...but mostly of the girls (as usual). We went to Solvang, San Luis Obispo + the mission, went ATVing at the dunes and had a ton of fun.
Me + Sadie at the Red Viking in Solvang
