Happy Anniversary

This weekend Tommy and I went to Park City to celebrate our anniversary. We forgot to bring the camera...so, once again, I took basically no pictures...but it was a very fun weekend!! We went to a really fun, eclectic restaurant for pizza (since we had pizza for lunch on our wedding day)...
After lunch, we went to an outlet mall for some shopping. I got two sweaters at Ann Taylor for 65% off and we got Tommy some new jeans and a leather jacket that were on sale for a gazillion percent off!!! After we were sufficiently exhausted from shopping, we hung out at our hotel. We were looking through a magazine of restaurants to find a fancy place for dinner and Tommy saw a Brazillian restaurant there that had coxinhas, so we HAD to go there...look at how happy he is with his coxinhas and guarana :)
Then we walked around main street in Park City. It's such a cool city! I kept telling Tommy I felt like we were in Colorado or Montana cuz it felt so different than Utah. We got to see some cool galleries and shops, though we were way bummed because the cool bookstore was closed when we got there. We had a way fancy dinner at a steakhouse and saw these two older couples who were also staying at our hotel for their anniversary and they were kind of crazy, but super nice and excited for us celebrating our first anniversary. After dinner we went swimming and played banana-grams (my anniversary present)!!
It was a very fun weekend and very exciting to celebrate our one year anniversary!

My Navel Orange

Well, we're at 15 (and a half) weeks, and now we have a navel orange-sized baby :) I think (knock on wood) that this week I am pretty much past the morning sickness, and it is so nice to not feel nauseous constantly. The downside is that I have had a really bad cough for the last three weeks, but today I think I only coughed like 10 times, so I am hoping that I am getting over that, slowly but surely.
I feel like I am getting super anxious to buy things for the baby. We just bought the dresser/changing table for the nursery all set up and that's exciting. I also got a free car seat cover, but Tommy says it is pretty girly so I am trying to rain myself in on buying things that may not be the right gender haha. I am super excited for my prenatal appointment next week cuz then we get to make an appointment to find out the gender.
On a different note, Tommy and I are going to Park City over the weekend to celebrate our one year anniversary. I am so excited I can hardly wait til the weekend! I can't believe we've been married for a whole year. In some ways, it seems like it went by so fast, but in other ways it feels like we must have been married longer than that haha.

Can't Wait for BM!!

That's right, Tommy and I are having a baby!! I figure I can announce it on my blog since we have officially told all of our family and the Facebook world, so everyone already knows :)
Here's my "baby bump" after we first found out we were pregnant (when BM was the size of a poppy seed, which is what I have on my finger)












And here is the first ultrasound we got of our baby! We had our last appointment a week ago and got to hear baby's heartbeat, which was pretty darn exciting.

We just got back from the big Blodgett family reunion last weekend where we told my whole family the good news (along with Alisha and Ashley). It was a fun (and too short) weekend...I got to show Tommy Hamilton and we got to hike Blodgett Canyon, go to the cemetery, and have the traditional Blodgett family talent show.






Here's a picture of Tommy and me after our hike. I'm wearing the shirt we used to announce that we were pregnant...it says "Baby Loading...Arriving in January"

4. Our extra bedroom
There's not a lot in there, but I already love the extra space. And there's plenty of space for the air mattress for when we have a visitor...hint hint.

3. The many, many kitchen cabinets and plentiful counter space. We even have some empty cabinets; I feel like my dad!

2. The DISHWASHER!!!! Woohoo!

And, the number one thing I love about our new apartment....
