Some of you may have wondered why I changed the pregnancy ticker on the top of my blog. Well...they changed my due date...AGAIN. Here's the story- based on my LMP (you don't want to know) they figured my due date as June 14th, which was what I was going with. I went and got my ultrasound and pushed me back a week because the baby was smaller than it was supposed to be at the point I was supposedly at. Most of my friends told me to go with my ultrasound due date of June 20th because it's usually more accurate. I went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago and he decided to keep me on my first due date, so now I'm due on June 14th again.
I'm officially 15 weeks today and am beginning to feel a tad bit better. I still think food sounds disgusting and am having lots of nausea at night, but my nurse friend and fellow pregnant lady Jeana told me that my hormones must be spiking at night instead of the morning. Hormones cause the ickiness and since most women have this in the morning...they have MORNING sickness. But me...I have night sickness. Ick. I've been working on my baby registry and it's so much fun picking out cute stuff for the baby. We'll find out the sex of our little one at our January 18th appointment. I'll be sure to keep you all posted! I can't wait to find out so I can start calling our panda "he" or "she" instead of "it." Plus, I want to pick out some cute clothes :)
On to some non-baby news. As some of you know we were going to make the 13 hour drive to Kansas next week for Christmas to visit my family. Because of about 10 different factors we decided not to make the trip this time of year. Driving over the mountains is terrible anyway, but especially this time of year. Plus, we weren't in the mood to take the dogs with us and drive the entire family crazy! The plan is to travel to Kansas sometime in the 3rd week of March so mark your calendars!
Oh and if you're wondering what we're doing with our days off...NOTHING. We've decided to keep our previous days off and spend some time together. Matt has been working like a madman lately and I need a break from work so we'll be spending our lovely five day weekend doing nothing but relaxing, watching movies, and spending time with the dogs. Needless to say, I'm actually pretty excited about doing nothing. I may catch up on some homework in there since I have the next two weeks off, but spending time with my husband and dogs sounds fantastic :)

Inching towards the 2nd Trimester!!
I realize I didn't write much on our pregnancy post, but I didn't really think it was necessary!!
I added a ticker to the top of the blog so you would be able to track our progress, if you want to. I'm currently 12w4d along and will be in the 2nd trimester as of Monday!! We have another appt. on Wednesday and will have another one in January to find out the sex of the baby. People keep asking if we're going to find out and honestly, this shouldn't even be asked! OF COURSE we'll find out! I'm way too impatient to deal with a secret like this. Our dr. keeps asking if we want a boy or a girl and I don't think either of us care for the first one. I mean, we want one of both eventually, so whichever comes first...as long as he/she is healthy is fine with us:)
I really can't complain tons about the first trimester. I did have some nausea that came and went. The worst part is that food just doesn't taste good. Things that I normally love just don't taste as delicious. I'm looking forward to this symptom ENDING!! One of the great things is that all types of fast food have sounded awful. I tried doing Mcdonalds or Burger King, but it just doesn't satisfy the taste buds. Chili cheese tots from Sonic, which are normally my favorite thing ever aren't nearly as good as they were before. I've had more headaches than normal and have gone to bed sick feeling almost every night, but luckily it all disappears before I wake up!
People keep asking if I've had any of the normal pregnancy cravings and I'm here to report that I haven't been craving pickles and peanut butter or anything weird. The only things I've craved so far are potatoes and Doritos. And when I say potatoes I mean ANY type of potatoes. For example, I had mashed potatoes and mixed veggies for lunch last night. Delicious! Scalloped potatoes, potato chips, french fries, anything.
I'm excited for the second trimester, but it feels weird that 12 weeks are already gone. Only 28 to go!

Breaking News!!
It's that time again folks, the time where you finally figure out what we've been leading up to.
Here it goes.... we're getting another dog!!
Okay...just kidding, we're not. We couldn't handle another bundle of energy like those two. But we are indeed PREGNANT!
Most of you who read this blog probably already figured this out because of how long we waited, but we made the official announcement to the world today. We found out the day after our one year anniversary. I know, cute right? I went to the dentist that morning and had been thinking about testing just so assure myself that my "monthly friend" was showing up soon. I went back to work, took the test and was amazed at my result.
I was in total shock! I didn't know what else to do because I didn't think I could make it through a phone conversation with Matt so I text messages him the photo. He replied, :) . He called me 10 seconds later and that was that.
We've been to one doctors appointment and also did the early ultrasound just to verify everything was okay. Only one baby, thank goodness.
Here's the first photo of baby Lindberg :)
Our estimated due date is June 20th, which was moved back from June 14th. I still fit into my jeans (yay!) and have been fairly lucky on the common pregnancy symptom front. The nausea comes and goes, but as a rule...I've been much luckier than some of the terrible stories I've heard!!
Sorry if the wait was too long, but you know how that goes:)

I *heart* autumn weather!
And before anybody asks...still staying mum on the news ;)
Not a whole lot has been going on in our house lately. Buster and Bella seem to be acting more crazy than usual lately, which I'm assuming has something to do with the weather, which has been wacky lately.
A couple of weeks ago it got really really cold, down to mid-low 30's. We had a lovely mixture of rain, sleet, and even some snow flakes throughout the day. We even had to break out our winter coats to survive! What made it so awful was that the weekend before it rained ALL WEEKEND so the dogs had to stay inside, which they don't like. Our backyard has some areas where the grass isn't there so it gets muddy. Naturally, we took them out the front lawn so they didn't get muddy. After spending a solid week inside and out of the backyard, they were more than happy when things dried out and they got to go back out. It's supposed to be a little cooler next week, bummer.
The weather the last week has been GORGEOUS! Highs in the 60's with lows in the 30's (totally normal.) The daytime has been beautiful and I'm super mad I don't work outside to enjoy it! The leaves are turning beautifully as well. One of these days I'll try to snap some photos! The mountains have a gorgeous coat of snow on them and look extremely majestic when you're driving south on Townsend Ave.
In other news, I'm pretty sure my new class might kill me. After complaining the last few classes were super easy, this new one is ridiculous! It took me close to two hours to finish my homework, which was a measly 5 questions. I haven't taken accounting since sophomore year so I'm not looking forward to getting back into the technical side of it again! Wish me luck!
Otherwise, can't wait to share our secret. Be patient. It won't be much longer!

Cupcake Adventures
I finally decided to get rid of some of the pictures from my camera. There has been some new developments in the Lindberg household, but we're staying mum on the news for now!
In other news, I decided to make cupcakes from scratch. I blame Brenna for being such an overachiever and making me feel bad. I decided on a chocolate cupcake with peanut butter frosting. The cake was a new experience for me. It included ingredients that I had NEVER used in baking before. I had to brew a pot of coffee to include in the batter. I also used sour cream, which seemed ridiculous to me but Brenna claims it's normal for chocolate cupcakes. The peanut butter frosting was absolutely DELICIOUS. I'm pretty sure you could frost anything with it and it would taste good. My co-worker reminded me that dog poop probably wouldn't, so I stopped using that explanation. After all was finished I topped them with Reese's Pieces as garnish and gave them out after our anniversary party so I wouldn't have a billion left. I ended up snagging one or two and they were interesting. The frosting gave it most of the taste because the actual cupcake didn't seem too chocolately. Maybe I'll use more cocoa next time.:)
I also have some adorable dog photos to show you so stay tuned! It's raining here so we're going to spend the night with a large pizza, breadsticks, watching the Office and Outsourced, and shows from our DVR we missed last night.
Here are some photos of the cupcakes- I know they don't look as yours Brenna!
The adorable Bella
Cutie Buster
Usually Buster is chewing the bone, but apparently he was being nice to Bella.
Now for some cupcake pictures!!!

One Year Anniversary and...SURPRISE!
Sorry for the lack of blog posts recently. Seems like we've been busier than usual lately!
For those of you who didn't remember our one year anniversary was this past Sunday on 10/10/10, which all of our friends thought was just ADORABLE. We spent Saturday in Grand Junction eating lunch at our favorite spot (Olive Garden!) and shopping at the mall. We bought jeans so you can tell how exciting we are, but I also got my ring cleaned and inspected, which is badly needed!
Sunday was much more chill. We took the dogs on a walk and just spent some time relaxing. We went to dinner at Pahgre's, which is a local pizza/pasta/italian place and ordered our favorite pizza "Paradox Pepperoni." The sauce is nice and spicy and it tastes amazing! We got home to find a bunch of our friends. Matt had planned a surprise anniversary party complete with champagne and Coldstone Creamery ice cream cake. I'm so proud of him for planning something so adorable! I had a great night with our friends celebrating and can't believe it's been a year.
It is so nice to be able to spend life with Matt. We've been fairly inseparable since college and it's nice to know somebody will always be in my corner. Looking forward to the next steps in life with him.
Now for some fun...here's what we were doing last year!
