*Twilight*

If you have not seen the movie Twlight yet, go see it. It is absolutely one of the best stories I have seen in a long time.. not to mention that Rob Pattinson completely captures your full attention with just one look. It is light Harry Potter meets Brad Pitt in Interview with a Vampire, but for all ages. Highly recommended and I am now going to read all the books because I HAVE to know what happens next...

SEE IT! <3 lyds

Oldies but Goodies...

Here are just a few pictures I like from the past few years ....


My fav.. Sara... friends since 4th grade.. lovee this girl!

Josh rocking it out with Jen, Ash, Kait and me at our wedding.. Stud..

One of my most favorite candid wedding shots.. very classic and really shows off the look I was going for that day...

This picutre is from the Kenny Chesney concert in chicago a few summers ago.. one of the most fun times I have had with my girlfriends ever..

This was my first "let me show off my engagement ring" picture..

Best picture of the Mitchell girls since we were kids.. <3> This was from the day after we were engagement up in Mackinac Island going for a pre-wedding bike ride with the bridal party (not our wedding ha)

This was the night before the engagement .. I had no idea..

This was before the Kenny Chesney concert in Indy this past year... the weekend right before our wedding.. hmm.. didnt rain that freaking weekend..

Love, the Gross'

onto week 16 ..

So I am about two weeks away from finding out the gendar of the baby and I just can not wait!!! The not knowing is not exciting for me.. it is TORTURE!!!! So I am a doctor appt. on Wed just for a check up and then I will schedule my next Ultrasound.. SOO exciting!!! Well, things are still the same. I should be able to feel the baby in the next few weeks .. that is really exciting as well!!

15 weeks ; )

So I am now into my 15th week of baby bean. Things are getting better and better.. mainly has to do with the wonderful spring weather! So not much has changed. I want my belly to get bigger, that is for sure. I still only feel chubby, not pregnant soo that is looking to change here soon. FOUR more weeks until my next ultrasound to find out is the bean is a taco or hotdog haha..

Doggy Training

So, our doggies are going through a little training before the baby comes.. soo.. This is their latest thing is they are both laying down at the same time.. however.. they are too excited to actually stay there for too long.. but they are progressing pretty well!!

2nd Trimester @ 14 weeks

Here I am at good old week 14, the beginning of my 2nd trimester. Everything has been going great.. starting to get more and more energy which is awesome. I actually went to the gym today which I need to start making more of a routine so I don't kill myself from carrying this baby for 5.5 more months!!

So nothing else new to report.. til next week! This week I have a lemon sized child in my belly.. about 3 inches long!!

Love, Josh, Lyds and beaner

13 weeks and into maternity pants I go...

Here I am at good ol-week 13 .. there are some pants a good friend of mine loaned me for my prego body. There are super comphy. However, no updates really as of right now. Just more belly, which I looove!! :) I have to get more pants like this, however, because they rock!!!

Ps .. Josh thinks I am having a girl... time shall tell!! ; )

Mommy and Daddy Bought the Baby a Present.. or 2

Soooo... Josh and I decided it was FINALLY time to upgrade out of my 10 year old Blazer! soo.. instead.. we got TWO! :)

Bye Bye olds rides.... ; (

HELLOOO NEW!!! Josh got himself a REAL NICE 2006 Dodge Durango Limited and I got a 2007 Pontiac Torrent! Killer deal... awesome new rides.... all for the baby of course : )

Jen's turn to be the bride to be!

So this past weekend I drove a few girls and my sister-in-law, Jennifer, the bride-to-be now, to Louisville to celebrate her last night out as a single lady. And man did she celebrate! 4th street in Louisville in a combo of Vegas, spring break and awesomeness.. there were lights across all the buildings, tons of fun bars and of course, a mechanical bull. What else could we ask for! It was awesome and even though I was sober sister, I managed to still have a blast. I mean, we did go to a country-western bar so how could I not have a good time... and no, I definately did not take that shot I am holding.. it was just for picture purposes!

Jennifer is riding the bull like a pro.. she did pretty well. Oh, did I mention she only made it til about midnight.. just had to throw that out there.. light weight haha

Preggatini anyone?

So our super good newly-engaged friends, Jay and Mareeeee, thoughtfully sent me this drink mix book for mommies-to-be so I wouldn't feel so left out when everyone around me is enjoying a nice cocktail. It was basically the coolest thing EVER and I know I will be enjoying it all summer long! In Jay's words, I will be able to still "get toned" with Josh. haha Thanks lovers! --notice the martini glass I will be using with all my recipies .. that's right ; )
