Baby's First Pictures

Sorry I am sooooo late posting but here is our first official ultrasound picture!! If you look closely at the top picture, you can see a little foot print and little tiny toes. It's kind of hard to see in the second picture, but the baby has it's arm sitting on top of it's stomach with it's little hand in a fist. I think our Dr. got a really good facial profile. I don't like to brag but I think our baby is pretty stinkin cute already! I'm now 13 weeks and heading into my second trimester. Hopefully these next few months brings less nausea and less trips to the bathroom! We have our next Dr's appt on July 14th and we'll found out for sure what we're having then. We'll let ya'll know as soon as we find out!

May Madness

Where do I begin?! This last month has been completely chaotic around the Wall house. I know these pictures seem really random so I'll give the shortened version on what we've been up to lately. First, Adam and I decided we could use a weekend of fun in the sun so we packed up and drove down to good old St. George. It was so nice to spend time with just the two of us. Adam has been really busy the past couple of months working long hours while they have been getting the store up and running. I honestly felt like I lost my husband there for a while but it's all been worth the sacrifice. I didn't take hardly any pictures cause really all we did down there was lay out at the pool. We took our temple clothes with the intention of doing a session while we were down there. We were unloading the car when we got to our hotel and Adam realized he forgot to pack his church shoes. Oops!! We didn't really think it would be appropriate to trot into the temple with his flip flops so instead we just walked around the temple grounds and took the only pictures of the weekend.
We also celebrated me moms birthday on May 21st. I can honestly say this (and yes, I'm totally bragging) I think that I have the BEST mom in the world. She's the most amazing woman I've ever known. She's beautiful inside and out and if any of you know my mom, you know why it's not hard completely adoring her. Love you Mom!! You're the BEST!!!
This past weekend was total madness. Saturday morning Rachael, Nicole and I had the chance to go to Emily's shower. I know you're probably wondering which one is the 6 month pregnant girl and she's the one in the purple dress sitting behind me. She's so tiny you wouldn't even look at her and think that she's having a baby in August. It was so much fun to see her again. Emily and her husband were the friends that took us down to Mexico last August when Adam proposed to me. I'm so glad they were there for it! We miss you Emily and Tanner!! Come back SOON!!!!
After the shower we packed up the boat and headed up to the lake for the rest of the afternoon. We took Adam's brothers and my cousin, Kyle, who left for the MTC today. It felt sooooo good to be back out on the lake again. I've missed the sunshine! I forgot how much I miss watching my husband wakeboard. I also forgot that being pregnant you're bound to get a little bit of motion sickness from the boat. Yuck!! Needless to say, I was done for by the time we got home. Sunday was my cousins farewell so you can imagine the family festivities that went on that day.
My family has started getting together once a week so that the men can get together and duke it out on the volleyball court. All of my girl cousins and aunts hang out while we watch our "tough" husbands. (Well, we like to let them think that, anyways) The random picture is of my 3 cousins, Shelby, Cortnie and Haylee while we were being the best cheerleaders EVER!!
I guess that "shortened" version wasn't as short as I thought it was going to be but hopefully now I'm mostly caught up. To update on the pregnancy: so far, so good. I've been feeling a little bit better, but I still have my moments during the day. Tonight I went to the grocery store and cooked dinner AND dessert for Adam for the first time in 3 WEEKS!!! I know most of you are probably rolling your eyes but I'm extremely excited that I felt good enough to get to the store, cook diner and clean it up afterwards. I have felt like kind of a bum lately when all I do is come home from work and pass out on the bed. Good thing my husband is patient with me! I'm more tired than anything but I would much rather be tired than dry heaving my guts out. We go back to the Dr. in a week and 1/2 so I'll update more after our visit and hopefully will have our first baby pictures to post.
