I can't believe it's already December

Well we only have a few more days in Rexburg! Then we are going home for good!! The end of November Damon's brother who is a doctor up here, did and ultrasound and we got to see how the baby was doing.  We also found out that we are going to have a little baby girl!!  She was kicking and moving all over the place.  She looks healthy and is growing at the rate she needs to so everything looks good there!  I was able to feel her for the first time on December 4th and then just every once in a while nothing consistent yet.  Next week I will be 20 weeks and officially done with half of this pregnancy.  Thank goodness I have been feeling quite a bit better.  In other news we are buying a house in Paul!! We close in the beginning of January so we will just be staying at Damon's parents house with all of our stuff until we can move in. Well I hope everyone is staying warm and getting ready to have a wonderful holiday season!!!

Think Cinnamon Bear

Hey everyone! Hope everything is going well!!  We just wanted to share our big news that we are going to have a BABY!!! Right now our baby is about the size of a cinnamon bear.  Tomorrow I will be 12 weeks.  I went to see the doctor last Monday and we were able to listen to our little one's heart beat.  It was so exciting!!!  I do get sick lots of the time but Damon is so awesome and he does anything to make me comfortable and tries to make me feel better!  He takes such good care of me!  We will be able to find out if it is a boy or girl sometime in early December so that is really exciting and we are really looking forward to that.  Our baby is due on May 8, 2013.  Another little fun fact, our friends Tory and Justin, they got married 3 days before us are also having a baby, their little one is due May 31, so it is fun to go through the same things as our closest friends!  For an update on other things Damon will be done with school in December and then we will be moving back to Paul and looking to buy a house.  We are selling our trailer here in Rexburg and have already had one offer and some more interest.  And we have been helping to take care of the Pumpkin Patch in Paul which has been quite an experience this summer and fall.  We also have been bringing pumpkins and squash to sell here in Rexburg!  So everything is busy and exciting!! Love you all!!

This is looking into the front room. We don't have the skirting up yet but this is the outside and our pickup from the road!

Our new pickup with the new tires. This is the pickup with the old tiny tires, I don't know if you can tell but we certainly can. In fact these little tires have quite the story with them the day we bought this pickup! We got it in Utah and on the way home it decided to start snowing. Damon was driving the pickup and I was in the Cadillac behind him. There were some really scary parts on the road where we were passing semis and couldn't see the road because of all the snow blowing around. Anyway finally we made it through Sweetzer and right where it straightens out was where it all happened. I thought Damon was changing lanes really fast for some reason but I quickly realized that he had lost control and we were on black ice. He slid one way and I was worried he was going to hit the guardrail then he over corrected and the pickup flipped all the way around and he was facing me! I was soo worried that I was going to hit him so I was slowing down slowly so I wouldn't slide. He kept sliding backwards right off the road and into the wide median. And the little pickup was stuck on a huge sagebrush. Thankfully no one else was around! We went and pulled it out the next day and took it home!!!!
Now that we have internet this is only the beginning of our updating I hope (if I keep on top of things)!
