We're having a baby GIRL!!!

Yesterday was the big day of our 20 week ultrasound and we found out we're having a little girl! We are so excited!!! The ultrasound was the coolest thing ever, it's really amazing how clearly you can see everything from their little toes and legs, to their brain and heart. Everything looked great and she seems to be healthy and progressing right on track. According to the size of her head, she's measuring just a day before her due date, (August 9th) so pretty close...but I'm still hoping for a few days earlier :)

I Need Some Help!!

I'm 18 weeks...this if flying by! I decided I better start thinking about what happens after this baby really gets here. Here's my dilema...I just started looking at all these birthing and prenatal classes that my hospital offers, and I don't know which, if any, I should sign up for. There are so many of them, but they're a little time consuming! So any of you ladies who have had babies, I would love some input on what you tried and liked or didn't like. Breastfeeding, baby massage, lamaze (do people still do that stuff?!) first time mom and dad, third trimester class (?) Those are some offered, and I just don't know if these are really worth the time. Let me know if any of you have any thoughts...thanks ladies!

I'm a movie maniac!

I feel like I've been to SO many movies lately, so I'm going to do a little recap for anyone who's thinking about going to see any of these and wants my review! Remember, just my opinion on all of them, but let me know what you think!

August Rush-***** I LOVED this movie! I thought it was such a powerful movie that everyone should see. I loved the music and the story line, but I do wish that the end would have given me a little more closure. If you've seen it, you know what I mean, but I won't say too much!

Enchanted-*** Cute movie, definitely one to go to either with kids or girlfriends! Entertaining though...made me laugh and smile most of the way through.

Fools Gold-*** I liked this movie pretty well. It was definitely not as good as their last movie together, and not one I will buy or watch over and over like I do with How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, but cute and worth seeing for sure.

27 Dresses-***** I really liked this one a lot. I love Katherine Heigl, and James Marsden. They were so cute together, and made me laugh alot! I didn't go with Matt, but I don't think he would have hated it like he does some chick flicks. I'll probably buy this one.

Over Her Dead Body-*** This was cute, Matt would have hated it if I'd made him go! Has some funny parts, but kind of a different story line...reminded me of Just Like Heaven with Reese Witherspoon a little bit.

PS I Love You-**** This was a good chick flick. I went twice and both times, everyone I was with was bawling throughout almost the entire movie! Take tissue, but so cute. And it's the guy from Phantom of the Opera in it!

The Other Boleyn Girl-** I didn't like this much at all. It was just the same guy sleeping with different women then leaving them throughout the whole movie. Cool story line because it's history and where Queen Elizabeth came from, but really didn't like the movie. I heard the book is better.

Juno-**** Great movie! A little crude at times, but very funny and just a well done movie.

A little update...

So being the very nice and supportive wife that I am :) I let my husband go to Maui for a week without me last week so he could visit his brother who lives there! Everyone thought I was crazy, and don't get me wrong, I wanted to go SOOOO bad, but it just didn't make a whole lot of sense. Here's why: Matt flew for super cheap on a buddy pass, and I would have had to buy a ticket the day before, which would have been super expensive. Matt stayed at his brothers house and slept on the floor, and I would probably have wanted to get a hotel so I had a comfy bed, which would have been super expensive. They were planning on surfing pretty much the whole time, which I love to do, but can't right now because of this little baby growing inside of me! So it basically came down to it would have been very expensive for me to go and not be able to do what they were doing. He had such a fun time though, and his brother was very happy to have a visitor for the week! I missed him SO much, but it felt good to be supportive about something that is important to my husband. He never complains about my girls weekends (aka JAMM!!!) and is always very supportive, so it was the least I could do to let him go have some guy/brother time!

After being home for a whole 4 days, he's off again to San Francisco today (sunday)!! But this time it's for work, not pleasure. He'll be home on Tuesday afternoon, and then on Wednesday afternoon.......I'm off to Vegas to spend time with my mom in the warm weather! She's there visiting for hte week, and I'm so excited to be in the sun, but I'm not used to being away from my husband for this long, I don't like it. But we're trying to get lots of vacations in before the baby comes in August!
