Handsome little man!

Just thought I'd share a few pictures we got yesterday of our little man!





AHHH such a cutie!! And it seems he already loves to suck his thumb!




19 weeks of pure bliss!

Well Hello! Life has been insane the past month to put it mildly.. I thought for sure I had blogged 2 weeks ago, but alas.. its been 4?! I guess that means I'm busy enjoying this life that God has blessed me with. So let me give you an update on the past MONTH! (i'll try to keep it short and sweet)
May 14, 2012 <3

I finished my spring semester, miraculously! It was one of the most trying, exhausting, rewarding semesters of my life and I am so happy to see it go. I learned alot, made quite a few new friendships, and enjoyed another few months of marriage to my wonderful husband. I drove home on the 13th to watch one of my beautiful best friends get married on the 14th! Yes, we share an anniversary, how cool! Then rushed back up to Fort Collins (with a little detour to L&Ls Hawaiian BBQ) to spend our 1 year anniversary evening with Jason. I came bearing Lau Lau and Spam Musubi and wedding cake. All of which was absolutely delicious, and we reminisced everything that has happened in the past year. It has been a year packed full of blessings which I will touch on later.
Musubi and Wedding Cake!!


Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Moore!

Jason spent that week finish up his mind numbing semester of Financial Planning classes. Thursday though was the beginning of a much needed adventure! We drove to Westcliffe and spent the night there. Friday we got up bright and early, loaded into my little 1999 subaru forester and headed for Texas. After a long day of driving we arrived in Grapevine, TX and spent the next day seeing long lost friends from YWAM and watching the lovely Jenna and Noah tie the knot! It was a beautiful wedding!




Sunday we drove to Willis, TX and spent a fun afternoon with the best of the best, Ms. Brittany! We played some glow golf, which was -top notch-, ate pork chops, and relaxed for the evening. It was so awesome to see her lovely face and family after about 5 months!!

Monday bright and early we hit the road for Ray City, GA... 15 hours of driving later we had crossed Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Georgia. We spent the next 5 days with my Alissa and Brian, exploring Georgia and Florida. We made our way to the beach one day, Jacksonville, a beautiful mansion, and a winery (I ate the gold fish snacks!). It was such a wonderful time to hang out with them! And Koa thoroughly enjoyed 5 days of pure bliss spent with Abby (their black lab) in the back yard and the kiddie pool. As we drove away Sunday morning headed back to Colorado, Koa and Abby were both super depressed and refused to eat or play for the next few days:( Poor heart broken puppies..

On our drive back we made a 16 hour leg of the trip on day one, stopping for lunch in Nashville to meet some more friends from YWAM, Andrew and Madison! That day we ventured through Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinios, and Missouri. The final day of traveling we drove through Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, and finally Colorado! It was a top notch trip but it is good to be home as well. 14 states later we arrived safely in my trusty little car..what a trouper. We put almost 4000 miles on that thing!

Now that we are back, I've been going to class.. Yes, summer class. I'm taking 10 credits this summer between one class at CSU and 2 online classes. But i'm doing it all in hopes that when I have to finish up class in the spring, I will only have to take 2 classes, which means less time away from Baby Frink! Speaking of Baby Frink....

It's a BOY!
He is still doing wonderful.. A big healthy baby weighing in at about 9 oz. at 19 weeks (average is 8.5). And yes, I did say HE!! Yesterday we finally had our ultrasound and we got to see and find out that we are expecting a handsome little man! While doing the ultrasound he was basically doing gymnastics.. flipping around, punching, kicking, and even sucking his thumb. We are both absolutely IN LOVE and can not wait to meet our little guy:) We went and bought him an adorable pair of BLUE slippers and a onsie. Can not wait to see him in it:)

As for me, I'm feeling wonderful at the moment! Headaches have decided to plague me for some odd reason, but it is totally worth it for our little man. Also pregnancy brain as gone to a whole other level in the past few weeks. Jason had to have asked me 10 times to check if we had Insanity on my computer, and every time I forgot.. oops! Luckily I have an understanding husband:) Other than that, my bump is expanding and so is my heart for our little guy!
19 Weeks!!

Sorry for the drawn out novel, but I guess this is what I get for cramming 4 weeks into one post. Hope you all are having a wonderful summer! xoxo

15 Weeks =]

How has it already been two weeks since my last post?? I'm down to 1 week of classes and then everybody else has finals while I work and go to a wedding! I am beyond ready for Summer and the snow again on Tuesday doesn't help at all. Last week ended with a beautiful weekend spent doing SO many fun things..

Prenatal Yoga
Going Away Party
Women's Spring Social with the women of our church
A long walk with Jason in the 75* weather.. Koa discovered that he LOVES water:)
Church
Another walk in the park which resulted in a little heat stroke :/
& of course.. Ice cream
SUMMER IS SO CLOSE!!

Monday however brought in a whole different story.. My week has been packed with projects, wine dinners, exams, quizzes, and exhaustion. Tuesday and Wednesday brought another 8 inches of snow.. and Wednesday night brought a terrible bought of food poisoning. I spent all day Thursday sleeping and was barely able to get out of bed. Which is probably why I only got out of bed 2 times in 34 hours and I slept for about 28 of those hours.. Jason was such a trooper through it all.. He brought me saltines, Gatorade and did everything he could to help me feel better. Finally this morning I was able to get out of bed and go to one of my classes.. All I can say is I'm grateful I did not have morning sickness because you need SO much more energy to grow a baby, and not being able to keep food down makes that a million times harder. Praise the Lord I'm getting over it all and am ready to take on my final week of school.

Baby Frink is growing like a weed right now! Measuring in at about 4 inches and weighing 2.5 ounces this little bundle of joy is well on his/her way into my arms. There are so many things i'm looking forward to right now! This month we find out the gender of our little nugget, and we get to go on vacation to TX & GA. I am going to a few weddings, finishing up a long stressful semester of school, and celebrating 1 year of marriage to my BEST FRIEND! Bring on May!!
