Getting Anxious and Oh SOO Excited:)

We are now 33 weeks pregnant with our Ransom duders and waiting for his arrival. We are to the point where we are so close yet so far away. We have another Doctors appointment this week. They will be measuring our boy to see how much he has grown. And if he continues to grow the way he has been we'll have to get another ultrasound. I would be so happy to see my little man again but I hope he is healthy and normal size (especially come delivery).

My great friend Katy is awaiting her boy's arrival! She's been a trooper, 39 weeks and still waiting for Owen:) 

Life has been flying by. Justin is busy working at Regal and working hard to find another job to replace his job coaching job. He is such a godly man, Ransom and I are so blessed to have him as my husband and his father. We have been very good about making sure we have a date night because of our busy schedule. I LOVE date nights. I look forward to our dates every week and I still get butterflies while I'm getting ready for our dates. 

For now we are trying to SAVE SAVE SAVE for our big move back to Cali. We have an apartment that we are pretty sure we'll move in to. It is less than 5 minutes from Biola University and has a pool. Oh how we miss swimming! 

The weather has been better here but is still bleh. It'll be sunny and then an hour later get freezing cold with rain. I am thankful to not be in the heat with my growing size but I am ready for a real summer. God has been so good to us and we are praying that he continues to provide for us and to pave the way back to Cali. 

Please be praying for us that we can be financially ready to move down as well as physically ready to move down (because we will have our little newborn Ransom along with us). Thanks friends.  

Time Flies!

Time has flown by these past couple weeks. Every day Ransom gets bigger and so does my belly. We had such a great time in California and were so blessed with our baby shower. I am so thankful for the family and friends we have. I don't know what we'd do without them. My mom, sister, and mom in law threw us an amazing shower. It was so much fun. We already miss everyone and can't wait to see you all again!

 Kristy, Brinna, Bryce n' Me 

 Ransom's awesome cake!

 My favorite part of the cake... lil' red head baby:)

 My best friend and my most amazing mama. (Oma and Auntie)

I am so blessed with an awesome mom in law! Gramma

Mee Ma:)

We got to see everyone and catch up with friends and family. While we were down in Cali we were able to get a 3D ultrasound. It was so fun because I was able to go with my great friend Katy and my cousin Kristy. They're both adorably pregnant!

 Justin hangin' out with Bryce:)

 Owen and Ransom are gonna be buds.

Me checkin' out RANSOM:)

Then when we got back our good friends Sarah and Heather threw us another shower for our friends here in Seattle. It was so sweet of them and we had a lot of fun! It was pretty funny with all the 

games. We had delicious italian soda and trophy cupcakes! YUM! 

All the Girlies! 

Drawing Ransom's future face;)

The hostesses! Thanks girls!

Now we are just getting through this quarter of school and work for Justin. He got a job at Regal which is such a blessing because with this job he is able to transfer to one in Cali. He is so excited to be working there not only for the amazing idea of transferring but also because we get to see movies for free. It's been pretty sweet and we have been seeing movies for most our date nights! haha. 

We are so excited to meet our little man and can't wait to get to see his face. We have such a big boy growing! Now we are 29 weeks with only 11 to go! It seems so far away but I know it'll come up soon. 

It's crazy how much he moves around now. He is always kicking and squirming. It's such a blessing to feel him move around. So far this pregnancy has been great. The only thing I am not so fond of is the extreme HEART BURN. Ouch. It's no matter what I eat, that heart burn sneaks up on me. So being the preggo lady I am I carry around my Tums and keep them handy!  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUSTIN! 24 years old!

We got to enjoy Red Robin and it was mighty delicious! I learned (somewhat) how to play a coldplay song on his guitar. I also got him a bike computer (it tells how far and how long you ride). Unfortunately I wasn't able to play him the guitar because I was cooking him breakfast and burned my fingers on the stove. I'm so clumsy, and being pregnant makes that even worse haha. I am so thankful to have him in my life. He is the best man in the world.

Baby Excitement

This week has been extremely eventful. Finals, papers, papers and more papers due. But today at 2:00 PM I was done! And tomorrow at 3:00 PM Justin will be done until next quarter. It's such a weird feeling knowing I don't have to go back to school any time in the near future. Praise God. I haven't not been in school since Pre-school, so we'll see how I cope:) I really do not think it will be a problem. Ransom is moving all around and kickin' like crazy. He loves hearing his daddy's voice and I love seeing Justin talk to him. 

My belly button is starting is looking like an outy now days:)

I was in class today and all of a sudden felt really light headed and flushed. I was in the middle of a final and was not allowed to leave the classroom. I didn't know what to do and then my teacher came and asked me if I was okay because I looked flushed. I started crying (because I cry at anything) and had to put my head between my legs. I called the midwife and she said my blood sugar and blood pressure fell really low causing my body to react that way. So now I have to make sure I eat regularly and drink plenty of water. It was scary feeling like that, so I will definitely take her suggestions, especially because it means I get to eat more snacks:) I call the midwife probably too much, but being pregnant for the first time I always want to make sure there's no problems. 


On a lighter note:
Me and Justin have a weekly date night. We hope to keep this going when Ransom's born. Maybe we'll make it every-other week. But this last week my honey took me out to Sezoni. This was the first restaurant we went to when we visited Seattle. 

What a handsome man.

 Ransom was excited to have some pizza and hot wings!

 Justin showing off my belly.

We are leaving for California on Saturday and booked a hotel on Saturday night so we will be arriving later Sunday. I am so thankful because we found a place with an indoor pool. Me and Justin have been wanting to swim for the past 10 months. Pools aren't easy to come by here in Seattle and we truly are two fishes:)

He's missing the beach, as am I:)

Ransom, California, and love:)

I am currently sitting in a coffee shop taking a break from my never ending paper. It is a somewhat fun paper because I am talking about my family and their influences on my life. It is pretty intense what family has to offer. Especially my family. I know my family is by no means perfect but hey they're pretty close. I love everyone's excitement over Ransom. I am so thankful that we get to have the baby shower with our families and celebrate the gift of life. If their is a family that knows how to celebrate it is our family!

Missin my momma!

Missing our days spent together at the beach...

 Missin these beautiful faces!

 My sweet family!

 My lovely mom-in-law!

 A few of my favorite people that always make me laugh!

This is the last week of school until finals. Then after finals Justin and I will make our way down the 5 headin' home. We planned our stops to In N' Out, El Pollo Loco and Del Taco. That is the only food I will be eating on this trip... okay maybe I'll try and eat some salads and fruit every now and then. We have been so crazy busy with school that I keep forgetting I will be done soon. Justin has been working hard providing for the family.

And we get to see this little guy!!!!! :)

A Sun Break.

Sunday is Justin and my day to take a walk together and enjoy being outside. This Sunday we went to Discovery Park which is my favorite place in Seattle because it makes you feel like you're in Mexico walking down to the beach at La Fonda. Oh how I miss those days:) It's a bummer Mexico is in such a mess still. But any who... Really feeling Ransom move and Justin felt him pushing on my tummy yesterday. 

 Discovery Park has a view of the sound that smells like the beach back home:)

LoVe

We are half way there. 20 weeks passed, about 20 weeks to go! I am so close to being done with school and I have major senioritis. I haven't done my homework this lazily in my life before. But somehow when I don't care as much I get better grades. This might be because usually I stress about all my assignments and maybe the stress doesn't help. But I am pushing through. 

20 Weeks along, and so thankful.

We are so excited to head down to California for our baby shower. We are missing the sun so much! We were dreaming about swimming the other day. I'm in some dire need of Vitamin D. 

Well I have to get started on my homework, the usual story:) I'm sorry if this was a complainy blog... it's been a rough day. 

Oh Boy!

We are so happy and blessed to announce that our Baby Davie is a BOY!  We couldn't believe it at first but it was definitely noticeable. 

We were praying that we would have a happy ultrasound technician and God totally answered our prayers. Our last lady was not nice and we ended up switching doctors in general because of the terrible atmosphere. But this time it was sooooo enjoyable to see little Ransom practicing his punches. No ultrasound tech could beat my mom though, I hope she gets to do my next baby by God's grace.  I was so happy it is a boy because now we'll have the older brother for our next kids. I love his name Ransom Matthew and hope that he will make a difference in this world in Jesus' name. He's already so handsome and we love him soooo much!

He's such a cutie!

Being pregnant has already been such an incredible experience. I am so thankful that I get to share this experience with my man. He's been so encouraging when I feel like a tub, he's so patient when I get into a mood, and he is the most loving man I know. He's already such a great dad. He's working hard to provide so that I can have the blessing of being a stay home mama. He's been praying over our little boy and talking to him. It's so fun! We are going to go on friday to finish registering for the stuff we needed to wait on until we found out if the baby was a boy or girl. And for those of you that know Justin he is loving registering haha. 
We went to get real caffeinated coffee before hand so Ransom would move around and find out what he was:) It looks like it worked! (I ate a delicious cinnamon roll before too!)

 We celebrated finding out by going out to breakfast. We found this little place that reminded me of My Big Fat Greek Wedding the restaurant was owned by a Greek family and they were all so sweet. It was so yummy! 

Right after we found out IT IS A BOY!

Hopefully this post didn't babble too much, I am just so excited to learn a little more about our baby. It's fun knowing because I feel that much closer to the baby:) We are so blessed and thankful for God's grace.

18 weeks and counting.

I cannot believe we are 18 weeks pregnant... Even though it seems way longer ago when we found out we were pregnant. I'm supposed to be doing my homework (of course) however, I feel this is more important haha.

 18 Weeks, The size of a sweet potato!

 Justin got a second job working with a man from our church demolishing. This is such an amazing blessing and has already been extremely helpful. To celebrate him getting the job I surprised him with pizza and buffalo wings when he was in class. He was so happy. I love surprising him with the little things. He works so hard for his family. And look at his cute smile. 

 Justin and I are being good about me exercising. We take walks on the weekends and I walk during the week up and down hills. My mom told me that exercising is very important while pregnant and can help with delivery. Being that she's a mother of 4 I take her advice for a lot of pregnancy info:)  I walk to all my classes and take the stairs instead of elevators. 

Here is us on our walk. It was FREEZING. We are looking forward to our California visit to get some warm air and the ocean. 

Being that we get home sick sometimes we beat it by getting nostalgic.  We go to Red Robin, YUMMY!  We always went there in California for our date nights or with our family. 

So there is our life in a nutshell the past week. I've been good with writing on the blog and am kinda impressed by my commitment haha. Well back to preparing for my debate... I love you all and miss you family and cali friends!
