Short Post

Today will be a short post. I was talking to mom on thursday I think it was when I asked when should I feel the baby kick? So mom went online and "googled" it. She found out it should be around how far along I am and what it should feel like; "butterfly fluttering or popcorn popping". Well as we're talking on the phone i start feeling something like a bump that was continuous and I just say yep I think I can feel it! How cool is that that the first time I feel the baby kick was when mom was describing what it feels like. Even now as I am typing this i feel him, actually I feel him all the time now. He is an active little bugger. Matt also felt the baby kick this morning for the first time. It was an awesome moment for the two of us.

First Post

This post is the very first post in the new place. We had to hurry off the mountain due to the fact that it was raining and snowing at the same time making it slushy. Due to the slushiness factor Matt and Jared had to walk up and down the hill carrying our stuff. On the last trip up when both cars were filled, it was my turn to go up. I thought I was going to pass out. My legs were jelly and my lungs were burning like crazy. Needless to say I never want to do that again. However, we have to go back next weekend to get the rest of our stuff. Ech. It is totally worth it though, already I love it here. I feel happier. Which is always good in my book. Speaking of books...the apartment is overrun with them. I am going to have to work on that. To end this post here is a picture of Trigger. This is all they gave me.

Our New Place!

Here I am sitting on the floor of our brand new apartment. No furniture, nothing. However, a neighbor has wireless that works in our place so we have internet!!! YAY! I can stay connected with everything from iside our new place! Also, no roomates. The boyfriend decided that he didn't want to live in this community due to you can not be loud. Which holds true anywhere so I am a little confused. However, it will be nice for us because we don't have to worry about roomates and baby. We bought a sofa and dining room table and they will be in next week! Next is the mattress. In the mean time we are borrowing Kristen and DJ's air mattress.

There is up to 2 feet of snow on the mountain but its hard snow where you walk on top of it. Don plowed up to our drive way so we can pack the cars. A couple of marines have been enlisted to help us (well, the ones that have four wheel drive on their trucks). So I won't have to do anything just pack! The weather forecast does call for 48 more inches so we're trying to move as quickly as possible considering that much snow takes awhile to melt. Down here in oceanside however it is nice and sunny and a brisk 52 degrees. I think I am going to like it here!

It's Official!

It is now official. We are having a boy! Jackson Trigvy Rau aka Trigger and it is extremely uncomfortable to sit in my favorite jeans. I have to follow Lindsey's advice and use a hair tie to keep them shut to keep my jeans lasting longer. Matt is not so sure about that idea. Below is a picture of my baby bump. Still small but it is there:

This is me not sticking it out. Matt is really cute he'll come up behind me and rub my belly saying "We're having a boy!" So adorable. I did however forget to take pictures of the ultrasound. The lady didn't give us a really good picture just the two feet and part of the head and I was being a really bad scrapbooker and accidentally threw out the first ultrasound. I'm sorry! It was in a bunch of papers that was garbage and in it went. I kind of wish i didn't do that. Too late now!

So we might not move into the apartment do to credit history and bad economy and now Matt is considering something else that isn't so pricey. So until we are sure about where we are moving to I won't put up pictures just yet.
