I cut 8 inches off so Andrew decided he needs to too!

So yesterday, I am sitting at work and I get a page. Its Andrew. The first thing he says to me is, "Christina, I shaved my head" I say, "What do you mean you shaved your head." He said, "well it was an accident." Okay, my first reaction is how in the world do you accidentally shave your head? I mean honestly isn't it pretty clear if you are going to shave your head? Anyways, he proceeds to tell me that he had cut his hair (which he does on a weekly basis and if he didnt then none of this ever would have happened) and that while he was trimming the back of his neck the clippers, which were set at a 1 (really short) slipped up the back of his head. When he felt the strip he realized that there was no way to try to disguise it so he then shaved the rest of the back of his head along with the sides, leaving the top long. That is when he came over to work and I look at him and immediately start laughing. I am laughing so hard that I start crying (but I think part of the crying was also due to how UGLY it looked). So heres a visualization. The sides and back are shaved down to the skin and then it is long on top- he has an UGLY MARINE HAIRCUT! I freak and tell him Im not going anywhere with him, not even to church. Anyways, we both decide that it would be best just to shave it all off- at least then it wont look so ridiculous. Actually, now that I am used to it it isn't all that bad- he looks pretty nice. Good thing he doesn't have a weird shaped head. But here is a picture of the final product.
And don't worry, I did go to church with him.

The Creative Workings of Emily

So yesterday evening, my best friend (well girl best friend because Andrew is my boy best friend- anyways) told me that we should take some belly pictures. Well, she is a fabulous photographer cause as you can see from my new header she was able to take pictures of Andrew and I and make us look good! She also designed my header- how cool is that?? Also, here is another one that she designed for us. So cute!!

So, if you ever need a really good photographer- I know one!! Her name is Emily Thornton. You're the greatest Emily- thanks for doing our pictures. (I don't mean to leave you out Dylan, so thanks for helping her set everything up!)

Holy Hannah it's HOT!!

Well on Saturday Andrew I driving around town (like we usually do on Saturdays) trying to figure out what to do. Anyways, we stopped to get some gas and we see the Walgreens sign and it says that is is 140 degrees! Holy COW! I thought it was hot but I didn't realize it was THAT hot! Anyways, here's a picture PROVING that it said it was 140 degrees!

Cat in the House

So last night or rather very early this morning at like 3 in the morning I hear meowing. At first I think that I am at my parents house so I disregard it, then I remember that we dont have a cat. So then I think that maybe the cat is just outside. But then I remembered that our bedroom window wasn't even open so even if the cat was outside the sound shouldn't be that loud. So I venture from my bed and see a CAT running from the living room into the kitchen. Freaked me out!! So being so not brave I go back to the bedroom and wake Andrew up. I tell him that there is a cat in the house so what should we do. He asks me if I want to keep it. I quickly tell him no. He says okay, then we'll get some shirts and we'll shoo the cat out. I say okay. So we find some shirts and Andrew goes out first (for some reason I was really freaked out at having a stray cat in the house). Anyways, as Andrew went out the cat went sprinting for the kitchen window where it came in. No worries, it wasn't a window over a counter or anything, its the one by our refrigerator that we keep open all the time. Anyways, the cat left and I checked the house for poop and throw up. I go back to bed and think that Jackson was still sleeping, but oh no. A few minutes later I feel him hopping around. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep after 3:00. But thats alright. Now I know that there are stray creepy cats around so I should only leave the window about an inch open.

Baby Update

Well, I forgot to post an update about Jackson in my last one so here goes. Tuesday I had a doctors appointment and my doctor said that everything is going great! I am measuring about 2 weeks ahead which is what happened at the last appointment but she said that I carry him kind of high so that is probably why. She also said that at the last ultrasound (about 2 and a half weeks ago) that he was measuring in the 50% so he is not overly large (thank goodness). We had to have an ultrasound done because they thought there was a calcium deposit on his heart which is a soft marker for down syndrome. So we went to the perinatologist (a specialist in fetal development) and had an ultrasound done. It was pretty cool because the ultrasound was much clearer than a standard one. The ultrasound technician also explained what the different shades of gray are. The doctor also clicked a button and it showed the blood flow in the heart and also in the umbilical cord. It was pretty cool. Anyways, the doctor said that there isn't any mark in his heart and everything else is really good. At that time he was weighing about 1 pound 12 ounces and he still has a round belly (like grandpas- both, haha love ya guys). Well, I would post a cool picture of his profile that we got from this ultrasound, but I have this nasty cold which pretty much prevents me from wanting to do anything (thank you Andrew and Ryan). So another thing to have Andrew do when he has the chance.

Past week fun

Well, last Saturday was my sister Nicole's birthday. So since we are the only family that she has (well she has other family obviously, but we are the only family in Utah) we decided to have her over for dinner. We also invited Emily and Dylan (I know, you guys are all shocked that they came over). Anyways, we had yummy hamburgers and delicious watermelon and chips- pretty standard 'American' food which is what she wanted. I also decided to experiment and make a cake like a jelly roll cake- which I have never done before and it was pretty delicious. It was white cake with yummy homemade strawberry freezer jam (thank you Emily), whip cream (everything is better with whip cream) and fresh strawberries. Here is a picture:

So anyways, after we had cake and opened her presents, we decided to go bowling. Andrew and I haven't been real bowling in FOREVER. I mean we have bowled on the Wii but not quite the same thing. Anyways, it was pretty entertaining. Plus, being pregnant I didn't think that that would make quite a difference but oh it does...I almost fell over a couple of times. Haha.

Andrew's GIANORMOUS FEET!

My cute sister Nicole.

Sean and Nicole- Sean is Nicoles new 'special friend'

Andrew and I.

Well, we also went to a concert on Monday for UVUphoria. Andrew had bought tickets like months ago and so we invited Nicole and she brought Sean along. The best part was that Nicole wore a skirt to a concert that we were sitting in the grass. Love you Nicole but I will never let you live that one down. Anyways, we saw okay, I can't remember right now. But it was country singers. The only one that I can remember is Joe Nichols and we left before he started to perform. The middle performer was really good. When Andrew gets home I'll have him update as to who we listened to. Haha. Here's Andrew and I at the concert.

Andrew's add-in: Okay so I can't believe that Christina could only remember the name of the person we didnt see haha, must be some kind of pregnancy brain memory thing, she blames everything else on it, lol. Anyways it was Collin Raye who was the middle singer who she really liked, he played a lot of his classics like, One Boy, One Girl and Thats my Story and Love me. All really good songs which Christina enjoys but had no clue that he sang them. The other singer was Josh Gracin. He did alright, considering that he was an American Idol, No offense.
