April

On April 5th we had some visitors come! Alex's mom and boyfriend came from Arizona to stay for the long weekend. We had a lot fun, went out to my favorite place, Miyabi, which is by far the best hibachi I have ever had. We also went to Raleigh I think the first day they got here. I was lame and didn't take any pictures and I'm so bad at remembering everything, but it was fun! Haha

April 13th we celebrated our 5 year anniversary!(of togetherness, not marriage). 5 years earlier we went on a casual first date to In n' Out( which PS I am craving so bad right now!) and went to the movies and saw disturbia. So for our anniversary we went out to Red Robin then went home and watched a movie. And again I was lame and didn't take any pictures.

Just a few days later, on the 17th, we found out some exciting stuff. We found out I was pregnant! Yes, again, and exactly 4 weeks to the day after my miscarriage. I went to the doctor the same day and did a blood test and found our "for sure" the next day.
We waited until as week, or less, later, after I had my first dr appointment to tell out family.

And the even better news is, I'm still pregnant! Haha. We are so blessed,and so excited! I'm so glad to be out of the first trimester, can't even tell you what a stress bucket I was everyday. It seriously wore on my emotions.
But I am now 13 weeks today and am due on December 29th :)
We are a happy bunch over here.

March

March started out as a really good month. On the 2nd, after much research and test drivings over a couple weeks time we finally bought a new car! I hate to sound like a salesman but really this car is amazing so if your in the market, look into this! We bought a 2012 Hyundai Elantra. It's the north American number 1 car or the year and has the highest safety ratings. And it's pretty great looking as well!

We love it!

Then on March 5th, a month that started off good got better! We found out we were expecting!

We were so excited! Nobody But maybe 2-4 people knew we had been trying since about mid 2010. Not even our parents knew I think. So this was very exciting news for us!
We were so excited we told all of our families and friends that day.
I loved calling everyone and telling them, it was so fun!
About a week and a couple days later we had our first doctors appointment and our due date was set for November 12, 2012!

On March 20th we were so excited cause my brother and sister in law were on their way to the hospital in Arizona to be endured to have their first sweet baby and our first niece.
About an hour after they left for the hospital, I started bleeding, and it looked like we were on our way to the hospital ourselves.
We got to the ER and had to wait a good 5 hours. Worst wait of our lives. I finally got in and then the tests started. As much as I wanted to deny it, I knew what was happening, yet no one would tell me. After about 45 min there and about an hour and a half of the worst pain ever I went to the bathroom and found out I had lost our baby. All I wanted to do after that was go home. But apparently even after that they still have tests to do. After 8 hours in the hospital we finally went home. Empty.

4 hours after we got home out sweet baby niece Stella Jane was born

Most beautiful baby ever, no?

The next couple weeks were the hardest ever. But seriously I am so grateful and so blessed to have the husband I do. Anytime I cried, no matter how often I cried he stopped whatever he was going and just held me. He also took me on a couple surprise daycations.

He took me to the beach a couple days after. It was too cold to swim but it was so nice just walking around and relaxing

Then a few days after that we went to Charlotte. We went to this mega amazing theater with huge seats and a full bar and restaurant. We felt do weird only ordering a diet coke and popcorn haha. We saw the hunger games for the 2nd time. Love that movie.

Oh and probably the most important part of our 2.5 hour trip to Charlotte was jack in the box! Haha which I could seriously go for now. Too bad it's so far away, yet probably for the better haha.

So to sum up the month of March. Well I dont know, It had the highest highs and the lowest lows. I guess that about sums it up.

February

February was a pretty fun month.
On the 2nd my brother in law and sister flew down from arizona( I feel I need to say Alex's brother and my sister, my sister isnt married) and my other sister came down from Raleigh, which she usually did every weekend anyways.
They came because on Saturday the 4th alex and I ran my first half marathon, his second in Goldsboro, NC, like an hour/hour halfish from our house. I finished in 2: 28 min I think. Geez I can't even remember. Alex finished way before me but I'm was still pretty happy with my time
The rest of the month was fairly uneventful, so that half marathon was the highlight of our month.

Well actually on the 20th I got my teeth done. I have some serious issues with my mouth, almost 2 years ago I got my wisdom teeth out and when I got them done i got my nerves all messed up. The left bottom of my mouth is numb, my tongue and gums, and because of that for some reason novicane doesn't affect me at all and the shots to give me novicane cause the most intense extreme pain I've ever felt.
So remember when I said january I saw 3 different dentist. Well all of them were trying to figure out what to do with me cause I had 2 cavities that couldn't get fixed cause the novicane doesn't work. So finally in February I got scheduled to be put under, yes, under for a cavity. So stupid but it had to be done. I wasn't even under at all when I got my wisdom teeth out. So long story short, kinda, Alex taped me after he procedure and was a kind husband haha



Haha slightly embarrassing, please don't judge.  That was my first and only experience being drugged and I seriously don't remember any of that
There were a few more videos he took but I'm not gonna put them all up haha

November-January

I'm trying so hard to remember back this far haha it's so bad, I'm having a hard time. But, here I go with the big fun stuff I remember.

As you know in November we moved from Arizona to North Carolina.
We got here on the 5th, and pretty much spent the whole month settling in and enjoying being "really" marred haha for the first time.

December. On the 10th Alex and I did our first race together, we did a holiday 10k. And we crossed the finish line at like 68 min which was a pretty good amount of time shaved off my first 10k in October. That was all thanks to Ale, he stayed with me the whole time and pushed me through it.

Then December 13th was my birthday, I turned 22, I honestly can't even remember what we did haha. And thus why I need to keep up on blogging.
On December 14th we celebrated our 2 year anniversary and went out to a fancy, waaayyyyy too fancy place, ad I got this beautiful bracelet an earnings oh and flowers :) it was a pretty good day.

The rest of December was filled with the usual, holiday cheer and celebrating Christmas, which I am not gonna do a post about haha but it was a great holiday.

January nothing really eventful happened. Except I signed up for my first half marathon with Alex to take place just 5 week after I signed up. Ya talk about crash course in marathon training. Oh and I also had quite a dealio with my teeth that time too. Saw 3 different dentist that month, Ridiculous.

Anyway that about sums up those few months. I promise more exciting stuff happens so I'll catch you up on the good stuff later this week!

I'm Back!!

This feels so weird, this is the first time I've been on blogger since like January.  I haven't even really read any blogs since then either.  But I think I'm back, for now at least haha and I'm gonna start reading other blogs too!

A ton of stuff has happened since I last blogged and I really wanna catch everyone up on everything, whether you care or not! haha  so I think I'll be doing a lot of post of this week and next, however long it takes and update every month. Sounds fun, no?  

Anyways lookout for my post!  I'll probably post the first one tonight, maybe, depending on how tired I get haha
