one year and one month....

thinking about my first anniversary with cody. i can't believe it's been over a year. i was thinking about him this morning- i think a lot about him when he's away from me- was remembering my first 4th of july at his parents house in plain city. we'd been dating for 6 months. we watched the fireworks from an alfalfa field near his old high school. i was so inlove with him then and scared to death about it. this last march was our one year wedding anniversary. i can't believe how much i love him now. and we're having a baby! a little person that's part me and part cody. his mom brought his baby book on their recent visit and all i could think about was what this little bean in my belly might look like in 6 months. i hope baby has his dark hair and cute nose- my ears and cody's energy. what a blessed life. even better because we have such amazing family to share it with.

ahhhh....yoga

last night i went to a new studio to try a flow class- i love the sweat that sneaks up on you when you're doing yoga- it's gentle and it makes me feel beautiful. cody's away for the week and i'm missing him like crazy- am filling my time with everything familiar- yoga, general conference-(ohhh, so comforting), early mornings at the temple, baking and baking and baking- i crave whatever reminds me of home- been talking a lot to the bean. i even bought a children's book yesterday- 'red sings from treetops'- getting ahead of myself i know but i couldn't help it- it's so colorful and the pictures are lovely, lovely. hope to visit salt lake soon- for cody's birthday maybe?....i married a good man.

little bean....

cody and i found out this week that we have a little bean on the way. it's been a rollercoaster for sure. we knew something was up about a month ago but i wanted to see and be sure so i went to the crisis pregnancy center for an ultrasound. it's a real 'praise jesus' kind of place and they insist on praying with you at the end of every visit but their kindness made me cry with relief. it's hard, in a new place, not to worry about where to go and who to see. so anyways...away we go. we saw the little heart beating- fast and strong. i can't stop smiling- am refusing to read too much about the process- makes me crazy. i just want to trust my body to do what is natural and right. it feels good to give so much happiness to our families too.
