Bear Hugs XoXo...

Yesterday Lise and I both worked half a day and then spent the rest of the day in SLC. We walked around Gateway, did some baby shopping and finally got Lise pants that would fit her and the Ellie Belly. We then ate dinner at the California Pizzeria and headed to the game. We were able to get the Bear to sign Lise's jersey and pose for a picture. To top off a great day the Jazz pulled out their 7th straight win!

My Belly.My Ellie.& her clothes!!

Look what aunt Karly bought!! We love the JAZZ!

21 weeks!!

Dont mind how crappy i look, i just got back from dance!!

Thats right her name will be ELLIE ANNE KELSON!! Please dont tell us if you don't like it because we really love it and have already started calling her ellie when we talk to her. Cj even has "Ellie Belly" time before we go to bed!! I love it :) i am 21 weeks and really feeling it. I might sound like a pansie but wow i hurt already. My spine aches, and i am having these pains called round ligiment pain in my lower abs and every time i move, cough, pee or stretch i have like mini contractions and they hurt :( I am also sick again with this crappy chest cold and can't seem to loose it!! besides that i have started to feel her little ninja kicks even better. Those little dancer legs are strong!! we have started to enjoy the rush of shopping for cute little girl clothes!! he he ok me a little more than Cj, but he really got into it the other day! We are so excited to have her come that we can hardly stand it!! This month we are going to start working on the room and trying to find a bedspread...any ideas on where to find a cute one? i really want a black and pink one but everything is brown and pink right now so my luck has been low!! any ideas would help!!

It's a......

Proof She is a girl!! Nothing between the legs :)

It's a baby GIRL!!! We were so excited when we went into the doctors today and they were able to tell us the sex of the baby!! We are so lucky to be having a baby and i can't lie but i am so excited to have a little princess!! We also found out that we are furthur along then my old doctor had predicted. i am actually 20 weeks and my new due date is the first of July!! I am going to start shopping NOW ha ha

17 Weeks!

FACT: Fat begins to form under the skin. With reflexes now in place, the baby can suck, swallow, and blink.

I am 17 weeks prego and feeling so much better!! I only feel sick every once and a while and it is usually only when i have over done it. My little baby is kicking away and i felt it from the outside for the first time a few days ago. Cj has felt the baby kick once but every time Cj puts his hand on my belly the little thing gets stage fright and wont kick for him. It is so sad :(

I decided to switch doctors so i go in for my first appointment with my new docotor on Monday and hopefully we can find out the sex of the baby or at least find out a date when we can! I am so excited to find out if it is a boy or a girl!!

The Prairie Schooner

So this weekend Lise and I went to The Prairie Schooner to eat since we received a gift card for Christmas from my parents. My wife is a HUGE STEAK FAN! She can eat more steak than I can! But of course, she's eating for two lol, our baby is going to be steak hungry! We had a good time and had a free meal! =) It was fun to go out and spend time together.

15 Weeks!

I am 15 weeks pregnant!! WaHoo!! It seems like it is going by so slow but then so fast at the same time! I am finally getting over the throwing up and feeling yucky all the time. I am recently recovering from a severe case of Bronchitis :( and every now and then i spike extremely high fevers and my body hurts so bad that i just lay in the tub and cry!! The bathtub has become my new best friend that i see at least 2 times a day, if not more!! ha ha

Cj has been so wonderful with taking care of me along with my mommy...although Cj almost had to sleep on the couch one night because my coughing was so so bad that he couldn't get to sleep! sorry love :( Over all pregnancy has been tough and I am just sick of being SICK, but i know it is for a good reason so hopefully it gets better!

There are some nice things about being pregnant , like my boobs are the best they have ever looked!! ha ha and i can eat what I want and nobody can really say anything. But the best thing so far has to be when i felt the little baby kick the other night. I have been feeling little nudges and pokes but wasn't sure if that was the baby or not but then the other day i felt a kick that i knew was from him or her!! It was the best feeling ever!! I cant wait to start feeling more!!

p.s. these pictures are not of my baby, i just got them off the internet...this is what it is supposed to look like though :)

Christmas/New Year

Lise and I had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. We had so much fun spending time together and with friends and family! We had New Years at my sister Kari's and had a blast playing boxers and briefs and their new Wii. We had a ton of fun parties for Christmas with friends and family. We also celebrated my sis Kari's birthday and Lise's bro Zach's birthday on December 27th. Here are some pictures of our fun Holiday parties.
