August & Melissa

Is it just me or does it seem like every December I am booked with parties and get togethers the entire month?! Well, August and I are on the ward's activities committee and were in charge of decorating the Santa Room for the "Breakfast with Santa." We of course, waited last minute to find a Santa, so guess who it was? My Grandpa Smith! He was a wonderful Santa. I think he had fun (kinda, lol the beard was "itchy") and I had fun being his little helper handing out the candy canes. August and I spent all Friday night (4 hours) decorating the primary room for Santa. It turned out great, everyone loved it. Then, last night was August's StoneCreek Christmas party. This time it was at his boss' house. AMAZING house!!! It is a couple houses down from Jennifer's parents house (BEAUTIFUL neighborhood). This house was gigantic. It was like going to a museum and took us about an hour to walk through the entire thing. Great food and lots of fun!

This is me right before the party. K Monday I will be 14 weeks and on to my second trimester!!! Yey! I kinda cheated in this pic- I know my belly looks much larger and pokes out especially at night, but come on! I look huge! I think I may have pushed it out a little just as August took the pic. Cuz seriously, I don't think I look this big all the time, do I guys??? None of my other friends that are due the same time as me are showing as much as I am... Kinda makes me sad. But I know, it's cuz of my such tiny stature and small torso that there is only one way for this baby to go= OUT!
Here is us on the balcony.
Here is the boys chillin in one of the huge bathrooms. These bathrooms were amazing! They had two toilets on each side (guys and girls sinks), this tub in the middle and the shower behind the wall that wrapped around the entire bathroom. Also tv's above the sinks and etc, etc, etc... Man. One day...one day...lol. I am grateful for what I have now. No need to complain- I have a roof over my head and a wonderful husband that takes care of me.

So ya- I think we are having a monkey! Just kidding- it totally looks like one to me right now. So, I made it past my "scary" 12 week mark. I'm so excited everything is looking so good this time. The doctor said the baby looks perfect and is growing and everything is going the way it should. I just pray it continues to grow and that everything will turn out this time. We can't wait for this little one to get here next summer! Well, my next appt is not til Jan 8th- dang- I wanted to find out what I was having before Christmas just for fun :) Oh well, hopefully we will know on the 8th. I will be at the end of my 17th week by then. I love this little one already!

10 weeks/4 days
I just wanted to share that my doc appt today went wonderful! I heard the babies heartbeat for the first time on the doppler! Fast (172) That could mean a girl ;) I am so exited. I also got to get an ultrasound just to double check that everything is still going right. Everything looks good- placenta is well attached, I saw where it connects, and the baby even waved!!! Oh it was such a cute little hand. I'm just so grateful that Heavenly Father has blessed us again. I love Him! And I thank all of you (my friends) for your support and love!

I really like this one!
But then again- i really like this bedding! Aww..what to choose...!
So I know I just posted these on facebook, but hey- oh well. I am definitely doing Brown and Green for my baby room, but I love the bluish and grey! I can tie it all in with my green and brown decor, right? What I have up so far is this. I don't know- I think everything I have is really girly looking, and I'm afraid I will have a boy. How can I tie in boyish if it really is a boy? Help! lolMy not so cute decor...I like my rocker
