Life has turned upside down these past couple of weeks. Seriously, everything I knew before is now gone. To summarize, this is what has been going on:
1) I graduated from BYU!! That's right, after 17ish years of going to school constantly, am I now done! My parents and my mother-in-law came down for the weekend to celebrate in the festivities. Talk about a busy weekend. It still hasn't hit me yet- so far it still feels like a spring break or something. Give me another week and I'm sure I'll be feeling it though!
2) During the same weekend as Graduation, we decided to throw a baby shower! Insane right? Trying to do two big events in one weekend = insanity. But it turned out great! We got some super cute clothes for our little.... GIRL! Yep! We're having ourselves a little girl. I'm still getting over the shock. I could have sworn it was a boy, but so much for Mother's intuition. We're naming her Evolette Grace Montgomery. Her Daddy will call her Evey Grace for short. She got a crib from her Grandma Ward and Aunt Jaimee, and her blessing outfit (among many other outfits)from her Nana. We're so excited that we've already started setting up the baby room. I'm only 5 1/2 months pregnant and the crib is already set up. Be prepared is our motto!
3)Evey Grace
She's doing soo good! And luckily, so is the pregnancy. I'm clear out of the first trimester already- which I must say wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I'm at 22 weeks right now, or about 5.5 months along. I do have a nice little bump, which is taking a LOT of adjusting. I'm trying to keep telling myself, "It's not fat, it's just a baby..." Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But it's all good. At her 20 week ultrasound, Evey looks amazing! She has SUPER long legs and a nice, strong, healthy heart and innards. I've just started to feel her move about a week ago, and I swear she hasn't stopped since! She's sooo active, it feels like she's bouncing off the uterine walls. Which I'm sure she is. If I want her stop, all I have to do is have Colter touch my stomach to feel her moving- that usually makes her stop pretty quick. :)
4)Colter
May I just say I have the best husband in existence!!!!!! I'm so sorry all you ladies, but I win the "Best Husband" competition, hands down. He is going to school year-round, meaning he gets no breaks between semesters and is always gone doing the best he can for our family. Yesterday, May 2nd, we celebrated our 2 year anniversary! I can't believe it's already been two years! We're so excited and happy. I know I couldn't have found a harder working man, or a better-looking one- dang he's cute! He's been the most supportive companion, especially throughout this pregnancy. I'm so grateful to have him in my life. I know we can get through anything- I wouldn't be able to do anything without him. Evolette already loves him too. She seriously does backflips when she hears him coming home from work. It's so cute! She just freezes in awe every time he talks or sings to her. I'm really excited when Colter can finally feel her too, or better yet, hold her and begin the Daddy-daughter dynamic duo. :) I love you, Geebee! Happy 2 years!!!!
First comes love....
Then comes marriage...
Now comes baby to complete our family!!!!!
