We're MARRIED! and it's been a while...huh?! :)

So, yes...I admit. We have been SLACKING majorly on our blog posts. I can say that because it's been 9 weeks since we updated last. SO sorry about that, it's just been so crazy around here lately, getting ready for baby and GETTING MARRIED, that we don't even know where to start! lol.

I promise from now on, there will be regular updates because we do want to be able to look back on these posts later on, and it's also fun to update those who aren't around us 24/7. 

Ok...so here's what has been going down for the past 9 weeks in our lives. This may get long, so brace yourself!! It says that my last blog post was April 25, 2011...so that's crazy! I am going to break this down by month so that I can remember what has happened...I am suffering from MAJOR pregnancy brain lately, so I never remember ANYTHING, which is really starting to frustrate me and Kyle...hehe. I had written down things that happened on my calendar on my laptop, so that when I finally decided to update, I would be able to! haha :)

MAY

  • We had a specialist appointment on May 4...and found out that peanut is going to be a big baby! He was already measuring over 5lbs at that point...which is a bit scary! lol. 
  • May 6th- 29 weeks :)
  • On May 9th we got to tour the hospital. That was really crazy, it finally put things into perspective for Kyle and I...that we are ACTUALLY having a baby. CRAZY stuff. I still can't believe it, but we are really excited. We got to learn about the facility and the hospital that I will be giving birth in, so that was really good. I think we both started to get even MORE excited (if that could even happen!) at this tour that we took...
  • May 13th- 30 weeks!
  • I turned 23 on May 19th...that was exciting. I am glad to finally be the same age as Kyle...there is a 7th month period during the year when we are not the same age, so it's exciting when we are. (yes I am a dork! lol) 
  • May 20th- 31 weeks!
  • On May 23, Kyle and I went and got our MARRIAGE LICENSE! that was fun...we felt so official after we got it, it looks really neat! lol. That was really exciting for us. We also ordered our wedding cake that week, on the 27th. (it was DELICIOUS, btw!)
  • May 27th- 32 weeks!
  • I still had the trade days market thing that I go to every month at the end of may...and it was a SCORCHER! it was so stinkin hot, I am suprised this baby didn't melt right out of me. That was CRAZY. It was also really sad because during the market, My mom and I found out that one of our good friends and roommates from back in Canada had passed away. She was like an aunt to me, so this hit me hard and it was really sad. RIP Pam.
JUNE

Well here we are in June now! I can't believe that this month is OVER...complete CRAZINESS! We are so close to having Peanut now, it's really crazy. He is due in less than a month, which is starting to hit us hard, we can't believe we are about to be PARENTS! We're really excited. Kyle just told me the other day that he is SO happy, and I couldn't agree more with him. We are both getting to the point where nothing else matters...and it's great. :) We have had an EXCITING month so far!

  • June 3rd- 33 weeks!
  • Belly Shot from 33 weeks :)
  • On June 8th we found out that Peanut weighs almost 6lbs now. He's getting to be a little chunky one! I love it, I can't wait to see him and his cute little chubby cheeks. (Hopefully he doesn't see this when he's older and get mad at mama...lol!) The specialist appointments are fun because we get to see Little Man...and I love it! I think my favorite part is watching Kyle look at the baby on the monitor. He looks in pure awe and amazement...it's great. It makes me tear up every single time!!!!
  • June 10th- 34 weeks!!
  • On June 16th we got maternity photos done. They are soooo fun! My best friend's sister in law took the pictures...she is AMAZING. I hope to post them on here when she is done with the editing process...I can't wait to see them. She also did the pictures for our wedding too...which I also can't wait to see! I will post a slideshow of the pictures here for you to see soon! I can't wait to see the pictures!
  • June 17th- 35 weeks!!
  • Also on June 17th we got to go to the wedding venue and have a rehearsal! That was neat...it was great to see exactly what to do for our wedding, and just take it all in. When we got home, we had a "rehearsal barbeque" at the house with close friends that we consider family :). it was really fun, I am glad we have them in our lives!! :)
  • JUNE 18TH- THE BIG DAY!!!! :) We got married at 12pm on the lake at this fabulous restaurant with a CRAZY amazing view. It was absolutely GORGEOUS! It was a VERY small wedding, mainly close friends and family. **We decided to keep it small because we weren't sure if the wedding was even going to be able to happen because of the fact that I was almost 9 months pregnant...and we didn't want to invite people from out of town, have them make arrangements to come down, and then have a problem if we couldn't have the wedding. We are planning to renew vows in the future where more people can come :) We just wanted to be married for our little Peanut...he is the main reason why we did it (aside from the fact that we have fallen more for each other every single day since everything happened in our lives!)
    • Here's a few pictures...with a sneak peak from the photographer! We are still waiting for the rest to be edited!! :) They will be added to the blog when I get them back!! :)  
  • We are REALLY happy. We got to spend the night at a really nice hotel, so that was good. We plan to take a honeymoon sometime next year, considering it would be really hard to do now, with the baby on his way. We are in the middle of planning a Disney trip for this winter, so that will be exciting. One of our main priorities is that Kyle is able to keep his job down in Disney...it's what makes him happy, and if he is happy...then I am happy! :) So maybe we will count that as part of our Honeymoon! :) haha. It will be neat to be able to get pictures with Peanut and his daddy at work!!!! :)
  • June 24- 36 weeks!
And here we are! One week exactly from our wedding day...and it's so great to be married to my best friend! We have less than a month until peanut gets here...I am probably going to be induced in 2-3 weeks due to blood pressure stuff that the doctors seem to still be concerned about. I am not sure what's up, but it will be nice to see our baby soon! What else can I say?! :) haha um...well...I guess that's it for the update! I plan to update once a week from now on (AT LEAST!) and then the baby will be here so SOON! I can't believe it!!!! :) I am having some pre-labor symptoms...so who knows...he could be here VERY soon!!! :) Thanks for reading this crazy long post...
