Baby Update


Hey everyone! I know it has been such a long time since we've logged in. It's been a busy couple of months! Not only has football season started but we have ran a few races, moved into a new house and found out WE'RE EXPECTING!!
Most of you already know these things but I thought we should catch up online to make it all official. :)
So back in April, Mitch and I celebrated our 1st Anniversary! We spent the weekend in California with 11 of our closest friends and ran the SoCal Ragnar! We went to Disneyland, California Adventure and Ruby's Diner. We had an incredible time with everyone as we tried our best to keep our secret.
Let's back up 1 week. April 7th I woke up and had been dreaming all night off and on that I had taken a pregnancy test. Once it said positive the next negative. So I went to take a test (because I'd never dreamed like that) and it said 'Pregnant'! I walked into the other room and motioned for Mitch to follow me. He followed me into the bathroom, saw the test and said, 'Could it be wrong?' I did a little research and found out it could not. So we were expecting!! (We were wanting to start a family, it just caught us off guard as it happened SO quickly)
So back in California as we started getting ready for the race we came up with all these gameplans on how to keep it a secret. Like if I got hungry, Mitch would take the spotlight as if he were starving. Luckily when running a race like that eating and drinking a lot are not a problem. And when we went to Disneyland we let my sister in on the secret. We needed an ally so that Mitch, who LOVES Disneyland and everyone knows it, could ride all the rides without suspicion while my sister and I ran off to ride a kiddy ride that was pregnant women appropriate. So thank you Anna for being such a good sport!

Now for baby details. So we are expecting a baby boy for this coming December!! So after every appt I assure Mitch that it is indeed a boy. We went through our first appt's the Dr kept saying, 'It looks like a girl.' Then we went and saw Emily Graham who works for Fetal Fotos and paid for an extra ultrasound. The whole way there Mitch kept saying, 'I can't believe we are paying to know what we already know.' convinced that we were having a girl. Emily tried and tried to get the baby to move to a good position and he is stubborn! But after about 20 minutes our little baby finally moved to a good position. She paused the screen and said, 'Are you ready to find out?' At this point I was super nervous and, not going to lie, started sweating but answered, 'yes.' Then she announced, 'It's a BOY!' Ha ha! I was laughing and Mitch stared in unbelief. It was pretty hilarious. We finally got through the shock of it and now are just enjoying pregnancy.
We have been super fortunate. From our appt's we have found out that: 1. It is a boy 2. From all the tests he is healthy 3. My body is handling it well 4. His head, abdomen and legs are all measuring in the higher 90th percentile. So to wrap it up we will have a baby that takes after Mitch. :)

Now a little more on the latest in our lives. Football season is in full swing. Every Friday night we are out supporting the Syracuse Titans! They are doing well this season. We've had one loss but will be fighting back hard this week. Every Saturday we look forward to the Utah Utes games. Loving what they are doing with their season and getting super excited to go to the alumni game together. Sitting together at the Alumni game will be the 2nd time I get to sit next to Mitch for a love game. I am looking forward to it! Then our Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays we are constantly flipping back and forth through the channels to catch some NFL games. So if you need the latest updates on what's going on, let us know!

In August Mitch's brother and sister in law finally got to meet their little bundle of joy!! They welcomed Audrey Lee Arquette into the world. She is absolutely adorable and so much fun! Also she is the best baby ever. We are hoping that they didn't take all the good baby genes because we have one coming next. But Congratulations to Talon and Rochelle!

The last of the big news that we have is that we moved into our first home! It is wonderful! We are loving having our own place and the neighbors that we have are incredible. We definitely lucked out. I am getting some photos together of our new place as we get things set into place. A quick shout out to Cindy Arquette for getting all of our painting done. She came in and got it done for us so I didn't have to be around the fumes. So thank you!! We are getting our nursery into place and I will post some pictures as we get that done.
