Its a..........

BOY!!!!!!! We are naming him Emmett David Pearce. I finally took some pics of my belly but my sister has my camera again. I have been getting Emmett's room put together. Greg and Cyris set up the crib (you can imagine how helpful the dog was....) and I started washing his clothes. We already have a lot of clothes as my aunt was getting rid of all her boys baby stuff, jackpot! I have decided to decorate his room cowboy. We have a rocking sheep in there and cyris is scared to death of it, it is hilarious! I have started to feel Emmett moving. He isn't too wiggly yet so I regularly poke him, which earns me lots of comments about how he is going to have a bad disposition when he comes out, whatever!

I can never think of titles....

So I was thinking the other day that I should take a picture of my baby belly but I couldn't find my camera. I discovered last night it is because my sister has it, she has had it since spring break! Silly sister! I should get it from her for Greg's graduation on Saturday. I am so excited that Greg is graduating!!!

So I feel like I have been pregnant for an eternity. I am excited I am having a baby I just wish it didn't take forever to get them here. This weeks mark 16 weeks pregnant. Before I was pregnant I always thought how I would love being pregnant and how exciting it would be to have a life growing inside of me. So far I have just felt starving 24/7 and nauseous in the evenings. Greg is probably so tired of me saying how sick I feel or tired I am. I use to love food. My day was planned around all the delicious food I was going to eat. Now I do not enjoy eating, not even dessert. All I want is some ice water and coke. If I could survive off of water and coke I would. The only food item I can think of that even sounds remotely tasty is fried rice.

I really do like this baby and I am so excited for it to come I just want to feel somewhat normal again and be able to feel the baby move. I hope once I find out what I am having and I can feel the little monster move I will find this whole experience enjoyable and amazing.

Spring has finally come to Cache Valley!! Of course I spend most of my time indoors but it is nice to look out the window and see the green grass, the sun shining and people everywhere! Cyris has loved the warm weather beacuse he gets to go on longer walks :). So lets see, what new and exciting things are happen...oh my dad got his new assingment. He gets to move to DC and do pentagon/president security. My mom said no way am I living there, I am moving to Utah, see you when you get done lol. My parents bought a house in Mendon and has an apartment thing in the basement so we are moving in. I said I would never move back in with my parents or my inlaws but it just works out perfect this way. My mom and sister won't be all alone, Cyris will have a backyard and the two pomoranians to play with and he won't have to be in his kennel all the time, and maybe the best part free daycare! Me and Greg will also be able to save some money as rent will be cheap :).

Other exciting things, Greg took the GRE and got awesome scores. He has also had really good grades this last semester so will be completing his application for grad school soon. Even more exciting is that he graduates in 17 days!

I am now 14 weeks and am in my second trimester! The sickness should go away soon, right? I haven't enjoyed the whole experience since I get sick everynight and am starving. No matter how much I eat feel like my stomach is going to turn itself inside out! It takes forever to get babies here! I wish the baby could be all cooked and ready to come out like next week! I had an ultrasound at 11 weeks and the Doc said everything looks perfect. I have my next appoinment next wed. and am excitied to find out what is going on in there. I haven't felt the baby yet. I really want to so I know everything is okay and so being sick can be worth it lol. I am hoping once I feel the baby move or see the 20 week ultrasound I can start to feel a connection. Right now I just feel...well I mean I like the baby and all but I don't feel a love for it yet, maybe because it doesn't feel like there is really a baby in there. I am sure it will come through I just hope sooner than later.

Valentines Weekend Suprise!!!

On the Friday of Valentines weekend me and Greg got a very tiny surprise (One with a big impact though). An addition to the Pearce family will be arriving sometime around Oct. 18th. We are very excited and very surprised!! This little addition will be either an Emmett or a Chloe, we will find out in May

Happy Valentines Day! This is one of our most exciting Valentines Days ever! We bought a new car for 3000 dollars on Friday and yesterday Greg's parents helped us pay for new tires and an alingment. Now the car is all ready to go. It is a 2003, red Impala. We had to get a new car in order for Cyris and all his stuff to fit. Now I will drive the escort and Greg will get the Impala. The other exctiting thing is we did our taxes this weekend and are getting back over 2000 dollars!!! That will help us pay off our car!! Here is a picture of our new car

Nothing new has really happened but school is progressing so that is a good thing :). The fifth week has started and soon the snow will melt and it will be spring! I spent my morning looking for dental insurance, very exciting I know. I actually found a good plan through vantage care. Soon me and Greg will have clean and healthy teeth. Right now I am writing this instead of doing a very frustraiong geophysics lab. I will never ever be a geophysicist. If any of that stuff is needed for my job I will simply hire someone to do it. Greg has officially decided to go to grade school in the fall. In two year and 3 months we will be a house full of folks with masters degrees, paid a lot of money for them, and know a little more than we do now.

Here is an update. I really do mean to write on this more often but no internet at home and I am not at school as much as I use to be.

Lets see...Oh yes so I graduated on Dec. 12. Yay me! I then spent my christmas break hanging out with family and doing absolutely nothing. It was fun! School then started and I entered as a grauadte student. I have 3 classes this semester (9 credits). I have a seminar, Techniques of gorundwater, and Geophysics. I also TA the structure lab, which is the class I disliked the most...I am suppose to help the students in the lab and I have to go ask the profssor all the time, the students probobly think I am so stupid...oh well. I am not a fan of my classes at all this semester but just need to make it though to may when I can start field work, that will be fun! You know what the first week of class I was pissed that I was still in school. As I said I do not like any of my classes, I could be working, getting ready to have a baby, etc... but if I wasn't in school I would not be making as much money working in town as I do as a TA, I wouldn't have health insuranse so therefore no baby, I would be extremely board so therefore I really am suppose to be in school. Heavenly Father really does know what is best, and he is very patient...I am sure he is sick of me questioning the grad school desicion.

This is Gregs last semester as an undergrad! We are not sure what he is going to do when he graduates May 8th. He might get an internship for the summer then either go to grad school or get a job. It is very up oin the air right now. Heavenly Father will take care of us so I am not as concerned as I would be otherwise.

Cyris is the funniest, cutest puppy ever! He is huge now! In the 2 1/2 months we have had him he has gained ~25 pounds and tripled in size.
I figured he is a pretty smart puppy so he should be able to teach himself some tricks....he just chewed on the book. He is good at the tricks he knows and eager to learn new ones for treats. He is a sucker for treats. When we are eating he will sit there are randomly do his tricks in hope we will give him some of our food. It is hilarious!

This is just after a bath. He is so funny when he gets a bath. He also likes to curl up on this pillow even though he doesn't really fit.

He likes to hid under things especially when he knows he has something he shouldn't. Here he is opeing the mail for me.

We had a goldendoodle party last week. Aren't they so cute!! It is Cyris, Remi, and Roxy.

We love out little guys Cyris and I have decided (not yet comvinced Greg) that in ~2 years we are going to get another goldendoddle.
