Happy Anniversary and 3 1/2 months Pregnant!

So it has been a while since we last blogged! In the last couple of weeks we have been really busy! We went to see lights with family at temple square which was fun and i love christmas time! Also we got to celebrate our first anniversary as a married couple!! It was the best anniversary i could have ever asked for! My most amazing husband out did himself yet again on a special day!!!

First Josh got up way early to go to the store and buy breakfast items to make my favorite breakfast meal! He made me french toast, eggs, sausage, and bacon (which i now love and i use to just tolerate it!) and while he made us breakfast i opened my gifts!
He bought me a dozen roses! ( the first ever!!!!) and a cute sweater i can wear while being pregnant and not because it is stretchy! and two dvds: Look who is talking now ( i love it!) and the family man! both of which are great!!


Then as if that was not enough he told me we had dinner reservations at 4pm, so i got really excited!!! when it came time to leave for dinner he blindfolded me in the car and told me i it was going to be a big surprise! so of course i was excited! i swear we drove all over salt lake county!!! i began to get a little car sick and then he told me we were there. he unblindfolded me andwe were in front of jill and dave's house. So we went inside and it was the most romantic set up! there were candles and sparking cider and the plating of HALIBUT was amazing!!! Josh and i both love Halibut! and because it is so expensive we dont usually get it but it was amazing! Jill and Dave out did themselves when they set this up for us! there was even christmas in the background and everything! i could help but be overwhelmed!!!! Josh set all this up for me and i felt like a million dollars!!!

I have the most amazing man as my husband! i could have picked a better match for me! I am blessed everyday i spend with him!! he makes me love life and i enjoy spending time with him and his sarcasm (even if it irritates me!!)

i honestly could have dreamed of a better anniversary full of relaxation and love! it was better then going out to a restaurant and i was more personal and thought out! oh and in case any of you were wondering what he got for our anniversary i bought him Jeff Dunham tickets 11th row to see him Jan. 22nd in SLC. He was thrilled! we have been wanting to go see him since we got married!


So here is a pregnancy update, i know you all are dying to know! lol So i am in my second trimester and i am finally feeling pregnant! lol i have double in size in just a few weeks! this picture is me sucking in lol. i am about 3 1/2 months along now and we get to find out what we are having on Jan. 5th!! when we went for our 12 week check up everything is growing as should be! and we have a healthy heartbeat of 160, now the old wives tales say that is a girl, but the doctor says it is still 50/50. i ahve yet to have morning sickness, and i am loving being pregnant. I dont really crave anything like " I need this NOW!!!" but i am definitely loving bacon and chicken and sadly french fries! i would say i want at least one a day so i guess that is my craving lol. Josh has been way supportive with him working long holiday hours and coming home tired and sore he asked what he can do for me instead of himself and it amazes me! (dont worry he gets foot rubs and he gets heat packs! lol)
so there is our update for now! we are excited to go up to rexburg and spend christmas up there, i will miss my family as always and i assume i will get emotional because of my hormones! lol but it comes with every holiday for me! lol. so of many of you we will see you very soon!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Thanksgiving Week in Portland

So this past week Josh, Michelle, Toby, and myself all made the 11 hour drive to Portland from Salt Lake City. The drive was not too bad i slept the whole time lol. Josh was a trooper and drove most the way! then again he loves to drive!
Once we got there we had such a fun filled week!!! we taught my dad to play Rockband and he loved it! we couldnt believe how much we all enjoyed just playing games together! We go to go to Thai food and i was so excited because that is my favorite food besides lasagna! But i think of everything we did that making thanksgiving dinner together was by far the most exciting and enjoyable time!
As you can tell josh was dressed up in his thanksgiving best and made the mash potatoes the old Compton way with lumps!!! lol
we all had a blast cooking and enjoying the time we had together! when we left i truely was sad to leave my dad! i swear in the last couple of years that we have gotten so much closer and he is one of my best friends and always will be!! it is so nice to be so close to him! he is an amazing person and i cant wait to see him again!

Josh had a blast working on my motorcycle! lol my dad gave him to manual and he went to work! he was so cute how giddy he got when he did all this... too bad we werent there long enough for him to put it all back together. so too bad we have to go back! lol

I went on thanksgiving to get the paper as usual for black friday coupons, when i got out of my car i saw a swarm of ducks coming at me! i swear there was like 50 ducks and they followed me all the way to the front door of albertson's! it was nuts!!!

10 weeks down 30 to go!!!!

As you all can tell i am doing a weekly update of how the pregnancy is going. For many of you, you might think wow she is over doing it, but it is our first baby i am a bit overly excited! lol so sorry! =) lol
So it has been exactly 10 weeks today and alot has changed lol. First off i have had the worst cramps ever, but they arent where normal cramps are they right right below my belly button, so i kind of freaked out an called my nurse and she said it is fine and that it is normal, they are stretching pains. (wonderful i know!!!) so the baby has grown from the size of a grape to a kumquat! it is crazy how it triples in size!!! Right now the baby has fingers (not webbed fins anymore) and if we were to take a microscopic picture we would see little fingernails and peach fuzz on its body!!! so it is exciting!!

TADA here is the baby bulge at 10 weeks!!!

9 weeks and Toby

This past weekend we went up to rexburg to help jared install some cabinets. On the ride up there i used my coat as a blanket and Toby turned it into his own personal hammock! he cracks me up!!! he is such a funny dog and has such a great personallity! it is so funny to look down and see these posses lol one is where he is sleeping literally!!!!


And here is my 9 week(it is actually 9 weeks and a couple days) photo, it is growing like crazy the baby has double in size once again, it has gone from a grape to a kumquat!!! it is nuts how fast the little one grows!!! so here is the weekly update!!!



So after terressa commented on this post i realized i didnt write anything about the doctors visit lol. So i am sorry everyone lol here is the update. We went to the doctors office on Monday morning. I was really nervous because my most wonderful (sarcasm) brother in laws thought it would be really funny to tell Josh how if we went to the doctor too early to see the baby on a abdominal ultrasound that they would see it vaginally, so i was freaking out. Jared got a huge kick out of this by the way. So we waited for like an hour and a half to see the doctor. My doctor is amazing he is really funny and he just gives off this get vibe like as if he knew us forever. So anyways we went in the room and had the normal stuff done by the nurse before the doctor came in. Now this was not my first ever ultrasound, i had an ultrasound on my gallbladder before so i knew what they were going to do. the goop was freezing as usual, at first we just saw a big black hole. lol Josh asked if that hole was the baby and the doctor kind of laughed as said no, he scrolled in ont he bottom of the hole and pointed to what looked like a peanut and said that is your baby. I couldnt believe it!! it was kind of sereal, i mean i knew we were pregnant but it didnt really hit i guess until i saw that peanut! it was the cutest peanut ever! lol so the doctor started measuring the little guy and it turns out we were 4 days further along then we thought! so that was way exciting!!! so now we are the June 18th and not the 22nd. Then he was like lets listen to the heartbeat, i was shocked i was like you can hear it already??? and he said of course! and so we got to hear the heartbeat, that was the most beautiful thunder sound ever! lol i held back my tears dont worry! that could have been embarassing! lol So now we have ultrasounds of our peanut and i am in love with them! lol i look at them everyday! i cant help it! lol so we have our 12 weeks and 4 days ultrasound on Dec. 8th and then we find out what we are having on Jan. 5th! 4 days before my birthday! so it is like a little birthday gift to me! lol so there is the update i am so sorry i totally forgot to let everyone in on our first baby ultrasound experience! hope you enjoyed! lol

Our many faces!!!
