Happy Halloween!

Have any plans for tonight? Kelly and I decided to stay home, watch the USC vs. Oregon game and hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters. We always enjoy seeing the kids in their costumes. This year Carson will wear his USC jersey as his costume. He always wears it for good luck during away games and USC needs all the good look vibes they can get. As excited as I am for tonight's game, I'm super nervous about it too!

Another reason we're staying home tonight is because Kelly needs to take care of his stitched-up hand. Yup, we had an exciting night at the emergency room on Wednesday after Kelly sliced his hand with a broken glass bowl. He got four stitches in the web of his hand and now has to make sure he doesn't re-open the cut by using his hand. Oh, Kelly! On the bright side, he's off of work and it's nice to have him home.

The only other excitement this week was my quick trip to Phoenix for my Nino's retirement party. It was so much fun hanging out with all my uncles and Nina and being able to celebrate my Nino's career. So honored to be part of it!

We're Having a Baby!

What else can I say? Kelly and I are excited, nervous and can't wait to see our little addition! I can't wait until April 30, 2010 when I can actually hold my baby in my arms. Just seeing the ultrasounds gets me excited, I can't believe I have a little being inside my body. The ultrasound picture is from my 12 week appointment I had this week. So, am I forgiven for taking some time away from the blog? I just feel like my life has been turned upside down. Reading baby/pregnancy books and blogs, exercising and resting have been taking up my time when I'm not at work. Oh, and our weekends have not slowed down either. I'm just glad I'm finally feeling better. It's so much easier to to keep up with life when I'm not constantly nauseous. So, needless to say, our blog will be taking a turn. We'll still keep you up-to-date with our lives, but we're also going to keep you posted as our baby progresses. So hang in there with us...

Like I said, this weekend is no different. This afternoon Kelly and I are taking Alexis, our almost 3 year old niece, to Disneyland for a few hours. She has never been, so I'm so excited to see her reactions. I hope she has fun! Tomorrow is the USC-Notre Dame game. That's always a nervously, exciting game to watch. Then in the afternoon we're going to celebrate my god-daughter's 17th birthday. Then on Sunday I'm going shopping with my mom. Not for me, but for her. She's looking for a dress to wear to my Nino's retirement party. And if we get done early, we just might drop by Disneyland again. I told you, busy, busy, busy!
