The Verdict is in....

It's a GIRL!!! We are going to have a baby girl in May. We are so excited. We are also quite shocked because we thought for sure it was a boy. We are so excited to welcome her into our little family. We would post pictures, but we didn't get any. The reason for that is, she is still sitting extremely low. The doctor couldn't really do any of the measurements he needed to because of how low she is. Everything is alright. The doctor said they just sit where they are comfortable and not to worry. However, my stomach is getting bigger and she isn't taking advantage of it. lol The good thing about her being so low is I can feel her a lot! It's kind of funny how that little nudge all of the time is so comforting to know she's there. We have another doctor's appointment scheduled for the 12th of January and hopefully we will get some answers and pictures at that ultrasound. Watch for more posts coming soon....

We're Expecting!!!

Joe and I are so excited to tell everyone that we are 12 weeks pregnant! We expect Baby Fait to enter the world May 21st. It is such a special time to have a baby because we have lots of birthdays in May. My dad's birthday is May 21st so it would be really special to have his first grandchild born on his birthday. I'm feeling pretty good. I've been nauseous quite a bit, but luckily haven't been too sick. I'm pretty sure my nausea was caused by the extra progesterone hormone that the doctor had me taking. Fortunately, I'm done taking those horrible things! I'm definitely excited to be out of the first trimester in a few weeks! The pictures above were taken at ten weeks. At this appointment we got to hear the heartbeat again. It was such an amazing experience. If you notice the measurements of the baby, according to books, it is actually quite large for it's age. Just another sign it is definitely our child!

Fait Update!

Sorry it has been so long since I've posted anything! This semester has been absolutely nuts! I'm student teaching and working. Joe is going to school full-time and working full-time. We don't usually see each other til about 10 p.m. It has been so hard! But we are definitely seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I am wrapping up my first placement. I have been in a 2nd grade class and I have learned so much. Especially about myself as a teacher. It has been awesome! I will definitely miss the kids. They are great! So sweet. I have one more week in 2nd grade and then I go to 4th grade. I am so excited to 4th grade! It will be nice to teach kids that are more independent! I will finish the 4th grade placement the week before Thanksgiving and then I'm done! Yay! Joe has this semester, and then the spring semester and he is done. We will both walk in May! What the heck are we going to do??? It will be way weird not going to school! But it will be so nice to see more of each other! We hope everyone is doing well! We miss everyone and love you all lots!

Glasses anyone?

Here is a perfect example of why you should always wear your glasses if you can't see far away...

But, make sure you notice who won! Even without my glasses I can still kick his butt!

CALIFORNIA

We had a great time in California! We spent 2 days at Disneyland/California Adventure, 1/2 day at Universal Studios and then a Dodgers game, we did a day at Sea World, and two days at the beach. We were way busy but got some time to relax too. It was so fun to spend time with the family and just hang out by the pool. This vacation couldn't have come at a better time. With lots going on... we were able to take our mind off things in Cali. Here are some pics... More to come...
