Catching up on Life with the Bartlett's!




Where to Start?!! Well, we have had two ultrasounds one at 20 weeks and another at 28 weeks (last week) and both have given us just a slight look that we have a girl on our hands. Our little one definitely does not like the ultrasound machine and always closes her legs and curls up so no one can see her. So we are hoping we are right, cause I cannot wait any longer to shop for things. I am so anxious to get her room all ready, but to be on the safe side we will just save receipts and buy a few neutral things just in case! lol

Baby is filling up my belly quite nicely! And moving like crazy! She loves sweets and
moves like crazy when she gets some :)! She likes to take as much room as she can in my belly, especially before bed, but I somehow can find a way to fall asleep and am lucky she doesn't stay up to kick me all through the night. I love to feel her move and the feeling is quite unexplainable. Daddy loves to try and feel her and has gotten some good kicks in, but she seems to always know when he puts his hand on my belly cause she stops all of a sudden. As soon as he gets home and starts talking, though, she loves to move tons more and knows when Daddy is home. I can't wait till she is here, but want her to stay in as long as she needs so she can bake all the way. Or like her Dad likes to say, to fill out her mold, cause she is our little gummy bear. Daddy put up her crib :)

Other news is that I have had my birthday and I'm officially the big 21. Doesn't feel much different, but I'm definitely excited to be. We celebrated our 2 year Wedding Anniversary June 13th,where we enjoyed each others company and took it easy at home with grilled steaks and some relaxin, and it was so nice to relax after a long weekend we had! We can't believe how fast this year is going and can't believe that in 11 weeks we will have our little girl and be parents. It certainly is an unreal feeling and so many emotions flow through me all the time. I still can't believe we are having a baby and the baby is inside of my belly. It's a surreal feeling and I don't think it will feel real until we get to see her and hold her for the first time.



I have finished my last classes for school before baby comes and will be filling up my time organizing the house and getting everything ready, along with my callings at church, and teaching classes on the side. I'm also in love with some blogs lately and it has encouraged me to be better at blogging. I love the fitness and food blogs the most, and I'm loving trying new recipes. We have fallen in love with making Green Monsters in the morning and they are such a great way to start off the day. You can find our favorite recipe at Peanut Butter Fingers, I'm pretty much in love at looking at her blog for new ideas, which are also healthy. David is back on his normal schedule and it's nice to have him home at normal times again.

So that's a little bit of catching up in a slur of things. I hopefully will become better at writing a blog and making it more interesting to read. Our little one probably will make it a million times more interesting as well.

We are sending our love to the states to all our friends and family!!
