When's that BABY due!?

I tried to think of a fun way to announce it (even though mostly everyone knows already), but I'm not coming up with anything good so here is it. We're going to have a baby!! We are soo excited about it. As of yesterday I'm in my second trimester. I know its crazy, but I still haven't been to a doctor so I don't know the official due date. Its somewhere around August 6th though. So I will get to be hugely pregnant for the summer, and we are planning on doing APX again this summer so I will have this baby on the road somewhere. I have really been pretty sick for the last couple months. Its starting to go away a little, but it seems like extreme hunger has taken the place of nausea. I have to wake up in the middle of the night and eat something, and during the day I have to constantly be eating or I start to feel shaky and really weak. Drew has taken really good care of me though which has made it a little bit easier. So far the experience has been.....interesting. Not quite what I imagined, but if a baby is what comes at the end I guess I'll take it. :) If its a boy we will name him Ezra, and if its a girl we will name her Darcy, although honestly I don't plan on it being a girl at all. Anyway, that is our news. We can't wait to meet this little one.

P.S. The title is a Brian Regan quote in case you didn't know.

I decided to add pictures of Drew and I as babies so you can try to get some idea of where this might be headed. I'm guessing our baby won't be lacking in the hair or chub departments.

Christmas!

I'm a little late with a Christmas post, but better late than never I guess. We came home to Washington for Christmas of course. On Christmas Eve my family always acts out the Nativity. One of the best parts is the funny costumes people come up with. Haley decided that this time we would make it a musical Nativity and it turned out really well. Drew and I were Mary and Joseph and we sang Mary's Lullaby from the children's songbook. The angel sang a song, the wisemen sang a song, and the shephards sang a song. I loved it! We usually wake up at my house super early (usually between 2 and 4 am) on Christmas morning, but by some miracle no one woke up until 6:30 so that was a nice change I guess. We opened out presents at my parents' and then around noon we went over to Drew's house to open presents with his family. His parents got us a Dyson vaccuum this year which I am soo excited about. When we got married we just bought the cheapest vaccuum we could find, and found out the hard way that that is NOT the way to go if you actually are hoping to clean your carpet at all. I hope everyone had the best Christmas ever!

The whole group. I hope you can zoom in on this picture. The costumes are the best.

The day after Christmas my brother Nick got his mission call. He's going to Tucson, AZ and speaking spanish. He leaves March 11th. We are so excited for him.

My dad hitched a horse to the wagon and pulled people behind on sleds. I didn't do any sledding because I was in charge of pictures. It was such a pretty day for pictures.

We had more snow for Christmas in Mattawa than we have in a long time. The is my parents' back yard covered with snow and frost.
