Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!

As some of you have already heard, Dustin and I will be welcoming a new baby next year! Due sometime in March is what we are thinking but my doctor won't see me until I'm 8 weeks to give a dating ultrasound. I've added a ticker with a generic date that I'll change when I find out the actual due date. Not that due dates mean a whole lot more than "Well, there's the chance you'll have your baby within a week of this date but...don't hold your breathe!"

Oh and we're not telling Alex yet. I can't handle nine months of "Is the baby coming today?" "No not until March." "Is it March yet?" He'll find out probably around the time of the gender ultrasound.

In other news, Alex has another loose tooth! And his adult tooth is starting to poke through into the empty void from the first tooth loss. He spent all of sacrament meeting looking in my compact mirror so he could see it and feel like he's finally growing up. In the meantime, he's already growing out of the size 6 jeans I bought this spring in the hopes they would last until school. How foolish I was!

The weekend at Bear Lake was wonderful! Good times were had by all and I even got Alex to ride a tube behind the boat. He told everyone else he didn't like it but told me he thought it was fun. I'm not sure who he was lying to. No sunburns this year! YAY!!!!! Thats quite the accomplishment for me. Dustin doesn't seem to burn at all and Alex only tans no matter how long he's in the sun. I'm apparently the only vampire in this family. It was great to see everyone and Dustin is very excited about Scout camp in August. It happens to fall on the same weekend my family leaves for an Alaskan cruise (including Alex). Do you know what this means?!

A whole weekend all by myself!! Let's hear it for hogging the bed and sleeping in! No 6 year old to come in and 7 am on Saturday and ask if he can play his nintendo DS. Ohhhhh the luxury!

See, good news all around!

Nope, just tired all the time. Hopefully I'll avoid morning sickness.

Congratulations! I tried calling, but couldn't get through, even to voicemail. I'll try calling again this weekend.
