The Crib
We ordered our crib!! Oh I am so excited! My parents are so sweet and told Matt and I that they wanted to buy our first baby crib. So the day Matt and I told my parents we were having a baby my mom and I went to Babies'R'Us to start crib shopping.
This is the crib I picked! Darling, isn't it? It will arrive to the store in 7-14 days and then we can go pick it up! I talked to Matt about it last night and convinced him to help me clean out our second bedroom early, so that we can set the crib up as soon as it arrives. I know he thinks I am a little crazy, but I am just so excited and Matt is so good to humor me!

Announcement
I meant to blog sooner, but work has been a little too crazy these days. A week ago today, so March 25 Matt and I went to our first doctor's appointment! Oh we were scared to death, had absolutely no idea what to expect. We decided to go to the Salt Lake Clinic, instead of Intermountain Health Care because they are smaller, and also it would be easier for me to go leave work for appointments if it was downtown.
We met our doctor and she was really great. She took me back first to do the regular screenings, and then brought Matt back so that we could see our baby for the first time on the ultrasound! We were absolutely amazed at how clearly we could see our little baby. You could see the heartbeat and its little arms and legs and it kept moving all around. It was seriously the most amazing experience I have ever had and the doctor gave us three pictures to take home!
Matt and I were headed over to his parent's house for dinner that night, but we stopped home and made a photocopy of the ultrasound. We then went to the grocery store and bought a congratulations card and stuck the ultrasound inside. When we got to his parent's house Matt handed them the card, luckily while both his parents were sitting.
Shayne opened the card and got really confused. She looked at the ultrasound, looked back at us and said "What is this?" Matt told her it was exactly what she thought it was and she freaked out!! Both parents took several hours for the news to completely sink in because they had not been suspecting a thing.
Because my dad had to work Friday night and we wanted to tell both parents together, we decided to go to my parents Saturday morning for breakfast. We were more careful this time, and actually wrote in the card that they were going to be grandparents again. We gave my parents the card and when they opened it all they said was "NO WAY"!! And then my mom cried. haha Apparently Matt and I are very good at keeping people in the dark.
It's so nice to have everything out in the open now and to get excited about having a baby here in just 7 months!!! Oh I can't wait!

Here's Your Sign
Have you ever heard that program Larry the Cable Guy does, called "Here's your sign?" Basically Larry things stupid people should have to wear a stupid sign around their neck to warn others. So he tells idiotic stories of dumb and embarrassing things that people do. Then he yells out "Here is your sign!!" and then a jingle plays.
Well there have only been a few times in my life that I felt I did something stupid enough to deserve a sign. Like in junior high when I forgot my locker combination after opening my locker 4 times a day for six months and having to go to the office to get a copy of it.
Or the time at Utah State that I accidentally wore mismatched shoes to school and did not notice until I was on the bus and it was too late. Or the time that I sprinkled blueberry pancake mix on my french toast instead of powdered sugar...
But today I think I deserve a stupid sign. Oh do I ever deserve a sign. Today at work I accidentally erased my company's accounting program off my computer. The accounting program that I use practically every single day and can't do my job without...
So yes, can someone please bring me a sign while I sit on the phone with the IT guy trying to explain what in the world I did as he laughs hysterically at me.

Matt's New Job
MATT GOT A NEW JOB!!! For those of you who don't know much about Matt's old job it totally sucks!! He works awful night shifts, Saturdays and Sundays, he will work 50 hour weeks, and then work nothing for 2-3 weeks. So basically his schedule was killing us.
He started his new job yesterday. It is with our brother in law, Bryce's brother doing flood emergency stuff? I don't know much about the details but basically when someone's house floods the insurance company calls them up, and they go rip out carpet and sheet rock and clean up all the water.
Sounds like a drab job? Luckily for Matthew, this is exactly his specialty. Matt loves working in people's homes and using power tools and all that good stuff. The hours are good, he will be doing day shifts and guaranteed hours every single week. He has to be on-call a few nights a week in case there are emergencies but compared to Sara Lee this will be a walk in the park.
Matt and I feel very blessed right now and know that we are being watched over and taken care of. When things get tough you just need to stick through it and everything will work out in the end.
Yay for Matt, I am so excited for him!

Sleep Walking
Things have been pretty stressful and out of control for Matt and I lately. My job has been really busy, and Matt has been without hours at his work for two weeks now. Then throw in Matt's grandpa dieing, and little Annie being herself and buying the new dirtbike we both have been an overload.
I know when I have had enough because I start sleep walking like nobody's business. Two nights ago I woke myself up just about each hour in a different room besides my bedroom. I woke up in the kitchen twice, the bathroom once, and the living room. Once I woke up to Annie licking me, I had picked her up and was holding her in the kitchen! She just looked up at me like "Do you know its 3 am and I want to be asleep"?
Good thing its the weekend!

Finally!!
Matt was able to FINALLY pick up his brand stinking new dirtbike last night!! I have to admit, it is one seriously hot bike. He found it on KSL last Friday, we went and saw it on Saturday, and it took until last night at 4:00 to get everything finalized.
Matt and his dad loaded up the trailer and drove to Toole to pick up the bike. Its a CRF 450 something or other all I know is that the bike is HUGE! Like my 6'1 husband has to stand on his tip toes when he gets on the bike. And I know that it is fast, extremely fast. AND! The bike only has 75 miles on it which means we got an insanly great deal considering it is basically new.
I will post pictures this weekend after I go take some!
