She's back!

Almost 2 years ago I said goodbye to a great friend, who also happens to be my cousin, Lauren. She graduated from college then headed off to South America to serve a mission. She did no grow up in the church but quickly developed a great testimony of the gospel after moving to Utah to attend UVU. She is an amazing person and i missed her so much while she was gone. In fact i still am missing her since i have yet to see her. She is in Texas with her mom right now and will travel to California to see her dad and other family before she finally makes it back to Utah! Although I have not been able to see her yet i was able to chat with her on FB and that is pretty great too!
I can not believe how much has happened since she left. I was pregnant with Lucas when she left and now he is a year and a half old! I am so excited for her to met him! I just noticed how many ! i am using but i really am that excited!!
This picture was taken the day she got her mission call.

Baby Bump :)

Today while getting ready for church I decided I am actually starting to "pop" :) unfortunately for people who dont know im pregnant i probably just look a little pudgy. With Lucas i didn't start showing for forever! I think this time around I may look more like a regular pregnant woman..may this will mean i wont have to have weekly stress tests at the end because i am not "growing" accurately. I may regret being excited about this later :)
Another fun pregnancy thing i can feel this baby move already :) With Lucas I felt him for the first time at 17 weeks. It was mothers day. With this baby I felt her/him move at 13 weeks. At first i wasn't convinced i was feeling flutters but the past two weeks have proven that I have. These movements have been so strong! This morning when i was getting ready i felt one that actually almost hurt. I am excited for consistent movements.
9ish weeks just shy of 16 weeks
