And it begins...

I stopped at Walmart to pick up some random stuff, and found myself looking at Coco Butter and realizing I should probably start using something to avoid lovely stretch marks. So I pick out the one that looks the best and put it in the cart just as I realize that one of my amazing and newly enlarged love handles is really really itchy, enough to pull up my shirt to take a look. CRAP. My first prego strench mark. This is NOT good since I am only 14.5 weeks. So... ladies, what does the future hold for me and my not so stretchy skin? Suggestions... seriously....

Dear Palmers, do you really work?

Nana's Bday

We went up to the Apple Farm last weekend for my Nana's 80th birthday and mini family reunion. We had so much fun! The Apple Farm has a bed and breakfast feel to it. The rooms are all decorated differently, they have big canopy beds, fireplaces, and the best is that they serve hot chocolate, cider and cookies all day long! We had such a good time! On Saturday we went to Morro Bay and played on the beach. The boys found this HUGE piece of dried seaweed that entertained us for a long time. The girls used it as a jump rope, and the boys were using it like a whip, but it was SOOO long that they all ended up whipping themselves, my Dad getting it the worse- It wrapped all the way around his leg and made him bleed and left a huge bruise. It also slapped my cousin across the face! So funny. On Saturday night we had a yummy dinner and were able to honor my grandma by all telling her how much we love her and sharing memories. It was a really great weekend!

(Sorry this one is sideways!)

(This one too!)



Love him!

Let the shopping begin...!

We are having a girl! We are so excited! Here is her cute profile and skinny legs! She kept kicking against the side while we were watching, so cute! It is so strange that I can't feel her yet!

Don't read if you haven't watched the Bachelor yet!

I am so pissed right now. I seriously can't believe he didn't pick one! I don't even want to watch tomorrow. AH!
"I feel ripped off, we have been watching this show for 6 weeks now, and we don't get a happy ending? What is this?!" Matt

My 7 Randoms

1. I wash my face twice in the shower. I wash right when I get in to get my make up off and also because I can't stand how water feels on a dirty face. But then I wash it again right before I get out because I feel like my conditioner gets on my skin and it feels slimy.
2. This one is embarrassing...My grandma made all the kids in my family blankets like 10 or 12 years ago, mine is blue and white with lambs on it. Well, I got in the habit of sleeping with it. I don't cover up with it, I just need it in the bed with me to fall asleep. I usually hold on to it to as I fall asleep. Matt hates it! It is always in the way when he wants to snuggle, and he says, "Get this thing outta here!" He says sometimes in the middle of the night he looks over at me and I have it wrapped around my neck like a scarf! I love that blanket! Thanks Nana! At least it isn't a teddy bear or something.
3. I would love to be an FBI agent. My freshman year of high school, they made us take all these tests for future career interests, and then go research the careers in the "Career Center"...that's right, I did my report on being an FBI agent. I love CSI, Criminal Minds, all those shows. I love to be sneaky and to spy (not in a creepy way though! Don't worry, I am not hiding in the bushes outside!)
4. Since I have been pregnant, the smell of my deodorant makes me sick, so I have been using Matt's Old Spice! He thinks it is so funny.
5. I am not a good squatter. In public restrooms, if they don't have seat covers, then I use the toilet paper to make one. If I squat, it always turns out bad!
6. I hate winter clothes. I never put away my summer stuff. And I don't care if it is January, if it is warm, I bust out the summer wear. It is Southern California people, it is always nice weather! Once the colder months are over, all my warm clothes are packed and put away! Bring on the heat!
7. The first time I saw Matt he was packing up his car in the driveway of the house I had just moved into (in Hawaii), he looked like he was almost done, so I sprinted about 2 blocks with no shoes on to catch him in the driveway before he took off. Boy am I glad I did that!

I tag: Danielle, Jenna, and Bree Face.

Who will he pick?!

I am so nervous for next Monday night! I really want Brad to pick DeAnna, but I kinda think he might choose Jenny! Ah! What do you think?!

Treasure Hunt at the Spectrum

Today I saw some treasures while at the Spectrum...baby girls room perhaps?
Art work from Urban and letters and chair from Anthrogologie...love it!

Weekend Report

Nothing really seems blog worthy after the post below....but I understand the disappointment of clicking on someones blog and seeing the same thing for days and days. Thanks for all the nice comments and congratulations, we are really thrilled. I made my appt. to find out what we are having next Monday, November 19, 2007. It is strange that our baby is the size of a ping pong ball, and they can tell the gender! So Monday is the big day!
Weekend Report:
We had a pretty uneventful weekend, which I always love. We got IHOP for dinner on Friday night. Saturday was a lazy day, besides the fact that Mattie washed my diiirty car. Oh and we went to the pool and swam laps! First time exercising in a LONG time. Saturday night we had a date to Costco, Chronic Taco and Walmart. It was great! Sunday we went to my sister's and watched her Primary Presentation and my my cute nephew Tyler participating. Today I have school off, so I am off to the Spectrum to have lunch with Danielle and her kids!

The post of all posts....

Meet baby Taylor! That's right, we are pregnant! The baby is due May 27th, 2008! We are SOOOO excited! I am 11 weeks along, and feeling sick all day/night long, gotta love it. Next week we get to find out what we are having, so stay posted! Besides feeling nasty and tired all day long, and having bionic senses, things are going great! I am happy to finally share the good news on here! (Now you guys know why I haven't been a good little blogger lately!)


This is a picture of Matt I took when we were in Palm Springs (before I was prego), kinda funny!

A Spooky Dinner!

My mom really got into Halloween this year which was really fun. She hosted "A Spooky Dinner" and went all out! On the menu: Bloody Ribs, Bat Rings, Bloody Brains, Witch Fingers, Frog Legs, Witches Brew, and Dirt Cups. And did we eat with utincels you ask? Nope, latex gloves. Really added a little somethin' somethin' to the dinner. The house was truly decorated like a haunted mansion, little Addie was kinda scared. The boys were unsure of the dinner, as you can see in the pictures. We played some fun Halloween games as well! Thanks for a fun night Mom! Beware of many pictures!
