{Boy or Girl?}

So the big day has been set...March 18th is our (hopefully) lucky day to find out what our little baby is. YAY! So I thought I would put a poll on here for the next couple weeks to see what you guys think we are going to have. Fun I know.

As to what we think we are having the politically correct answer would be this, "We don't care what we get as long as the baby is healthy." BLAH BLAH BLAH! That's a load of crap in my opinion so I guess I'm not politically correct. Sorry. My answer is we want a GIRL like bad! We think it is a girl and we both feel like it is so I hope we are right. I have had a ton of dreams about having the baby and in every one of them it's a little girl. It just doesn't feel right to say boy or even think that way. Every time I picture being a parent, having the baby, or anything else related it's a girl. So I will feel a little devastated and shocked if it's a boy.

That's right I said a little devastated go ahead and judge me if you want, I'm just being honest. But yes if it's a boy I will get used to thinking that way and LOVE him to pieces and be completely happy and in love with him. Sheesh I'm not that horrible of a person. I know no matter what we will get whatever Heavenly Father wants us to have and it will be the right baby for our family and Preston and I will be excited and happy no matter what. I'm not opposed to a boy, don't get me wrong boys are sweet too just look at my nephew Emory he's the sweetest little guy around. It's just that I don't FEEL like it's a boy I feel like it's a girl that's all. So I guess we will live in suspense for the next 2 weeks.

Now go vote on what you think! =)

{Bump Watch 2010}

I posted these pictures on Facebook so I guess I should add them on here too!

12 WEEKS

12 WEEKS - 16 WEEKS

16 WEEKS...Still nothing


We get to find out (if baby is cooperative) what we are having on March 18th yay!! I can hardly wait =)

{Ramblings}

So not much happening here in the Jugler house but thought I would get on here and ramble to you about nothing.:) The most exciting thing is that I am 15 weeks! YAY. Still no bump though, and yes I know it's because it's my first baby (people don't think I know this. Annoying!) But I seriously WANT that bump, all I can think about is all the cute maternity clothes I have spent hours online finding and yet I can't get them because I have nothing there! I think this is one of the great "unjusts" of pregnancy the first would be having to wait EONS to find out the sex of the baby. Don't even get me started on that, that's a whole other post lol. And then of course not looking prego when I am. Ok those are my complaints. I am done now lol.

Hmmm what else? Preston and I are doing good, just trying to wrap our heads around this whole baby thing. Don't think it has really set in yet, it still seems pretty surreal and of course there isn't any visual proof to help that.;) I have spent hours online (too many hours) looking at baby clothing, nurseries, maternity clothes, diaper bags(new obsession), baby advice and mommy blogs, of course all the medical "how your baby is growing" and what to expect websites, and have found tons of things we probably don't need but that I definitely want lol. It's addicting is all I will say.

We already have names picked out. We have since last August, but I am not telling on here till we find out what it is. Because I don't want them stolen (worst nightmare). They are awesome names you should be in suspense =)

I have been feeling very crafty lately, maybe the "nesting" is already starting? I plan on making these awesome stars for our house and some for the nursery once I find out what colors to use.

And plan on selling them along with the frames I make. I have been thinking about starting a esty shop or a website something to sell them on. We'll see.

Maybe it's the crazy hormones but I have been OBSESSING about having long hair lately. I have had short hair for the last 7 years and in fact have never had hair longer then right above my shoulders and have never really wanted long hair. I even loved that I was different then a lot of girls having the short styles. But lately it's all I can picture! I have it all in my head about having this cute little baby bump and this long gorgeous hair. Seriously I've planned outfits with the hair. Sick I know. I am seriously contemplating how to get the money to put extensions in since I have no patience to actually wait for it to grow out. Again we'll see.

But can't you just see it?? Something like Julianne Hough's hair(excuse the weird looking guy, found pic on facebook) but add the bump and look! Gorgeous....just now how to get it???


AHHHH! look how cute! I want SOOOOO bad! Like I seriously would die right now for the bump and the hair. Thinking cap is on....

So I guess I am good at the whole random ramblings. That actually was a longer post then I thought it would be. And now after reading through it I sense that I am slightly pathetic :( Oh well at least I would look awesome with the bump and hair while I was being pathetic Wahahahah.

Ok then, that was fun. We have an appointment on Friday to have all my blood test done. Yay :( We'll keep you posted!

LOVES!

{Baby Update}

The biggest news is that I made it through the first trimester ALIVE!!! I wasn't sure on some of those days. I was lucky and never threw up once! But unlucky in the fatigue area, I have never been so tired in my entire life. There were a couple weeks that I was lucky to shower once during the whole 2 weeks(eww I know), I felt like I had the flu the entire time so I would say that yes I did get sick just never the "morning sickness". I also had a really hard time with food and smells, I would be so ravenously hungry that I would have some serious hunger pains but wouldn't be able to eat because food is disgusting. I ended up losing weight during all that.

I went in to an appointment last week and the Dr. is great and we love him!! He felt something on the right side of my uterus that caused some concern so he had me come in this morning to get an ultrasound to check it out. There were two things he was concerned it was either a fibroid tumor or a separated uterus like my sister had. So we had been nervous the last few days. Turned out that it is just my ovary on my right side that is close to the uterus and that's what the Dr. felt last week!! WHEW!!! We feel so much better now that we know I am healthy and the baby is too! Absolutely nothing to worry about =)

Having that ultrasound today was so incredible, I know all you mommies understand what I can't express. I was crazy to watch this little thing wiggle all around and not feel a thing and think oh my heavens that's inside me!!! Surreal.
We are SO excited to be parents and I can't wait for the bump to show!! Now that I am feeling great it's getting more fun! Preston has been FANTASTIC and took such good care of me while I was lying stinky on the couch! He'll be such a good daddy!!

Here's a little peek at our little one!!

{Goodbye...}

Dear Skinny Body,

I will miss you.

I have put you on loan for the next 9 months to a tiny little one. I just wanted to say goodbye for now but I promise not to add too much to you and I also promise to get you back the second I can. I will always remember our size 0 pants, the hours spent in the gym, the protein drinks, the health food, running till I couldn't anymore, the weights, the sweat and tears, and the happiness of always fitting into the "skinny jeans".

And let us just remember this one thing..."IT"S ALL FOR THE CAUSE!" and it's so going to be worth it!!!

One last look at the way we were :(


P.S.
The BUMP is going to look soooo good on you!!!

{ It's Christmas BABY! }

Preston and I received the greatest gift this year for Christmas and are ecstatic to announce that we are having a BABY!!!

We are 8 weeks along and are due August 10th. Of course we are adding another baby into the mix of the already biggest month for birthdays in my family lol! We have a 5 day window in order not to have a double birthday =) so fingers crossed that this little one will have a day all it's own.

I haven't been sick at all and other than being overwhelmingly tired that is all the symptoms I have had. Preston is very excited to be a dad and I am a little freaked out but we couldn't be happier to be parents!

We found out on the 5th of December and have kept it a secret from everyone but the Grandparents all month so that I could tell all my family on the 26th at our Christmas party (I wanted my family to know first). So I am happy to finally be able to shout it from the roof tops! =)

I have to tell how we told the family (because I can and it was cute)! I had my mom and dad in on it so they were able to help. So what we did was stage a picture, my dad has a nice camera and we had him and my mom asking to take a big picture of everyone. So my mom went around and gathered up all my girl cousins and aunts and told them we wanted to take a picture of all us girlies (way too many in one picture to add the boys too). And then my dad was going to take the picture. So I had my dad (prepped him before hand) take several shots, on the first couple it was say "Merry Christmas" and then "Happy Holidays" and so on for a couple more until the family was getting restless and then he said ok one more. Then he said very loudly so everyone could here... "Everyone say Tara's Pregnant!" and of course everyone repeated it without thinking and then they started getting it and got excited! It was fun to tell them this way and even though it was had to keep secret for so long it ended up being really fun!

So here are the pictures of my family when they said Tara's pregnant, I think it was really fun to have their expressions caught on camera!

One before the announcement


Right when my dad said "Say Tara's Pregnant" only a couple got it =)


Now they get it! So funny watch all the faces!

{ Forgotten Carols }

My family has been going to see The Forgotten Carols for 18 years! It is our number 1 Christmas tradition. It isn't ever really Christmas time till we see it every year. Preston has been coming for the last 6 years himself so he is well into the tradition too! I was looking at my pictures and noticed that some of my favorite pictures of us are from those nights. So, I decided to add the last 3 years since we have been married of us enjoying our tradition (I guess that's all I have on my computer, although I know each year has been documented)!

{ Bump, Set, Spike!! }

As many of you know I am the Young Women's sports director (Coach) for my ward, best calling ever by the way. So, once again I am on here to brag a little about my amazing girls! We went to the Region Championship in Volleyball again this year. YAY!! I am so proud of these girls I could just split in two!

The girls really had to battle it out this year! One minute we were out of Region play and then we got a second chance to play again (a team left and we got their spot) and then on the second day a of bracket play and won it all but one game, 7 hours worth of playing and we made it into the Championship Game!!! The girls did so awesome, we got second place in Region which is nothing to be sad about since we weren't even supposed to be there! They are such a great group of girls, it has absolutely nothing to do with me! They are just awesome! This also makes it the 4th Region Championship game we have been to in two years, 2 in volleyball and 2 in basketball!!!


P.S.
New Moon was AWESOME!!! Bet you were waiting for that, weren't ya?! ;)
