It's a............

BOY!!!!!!



We had our second ultrasound at 19 weeks yesterday and it was the prefect time to see gender. We were a little concerned because our cute little boy decided he wanted to take a nap for the first 20 minutes so the ultrasound tech wasn't sure we'd be able to tell. I almost started crying because I was so tired of waiting!! She took tons of pictures of the cute boy including the four chambers of his heart (yes you can see this!), and his kidneys. She also took the size of his brain, his femur (the bone in his thigh), and his tummy. It was so fun to see every little part of him! The tech had me turn on both of my sides to see if she could get him to move and he did...just long enough for her to tell us it's a boy!! I turned over on my back again and she looked at the spine and then...THE MONEY SHOT! ^ He moved just long enough for us to get the above shot! The only downfall is that we couldn't get a good face shot because the little guy wouldn't face camera! Basically we have a stubborn, somewhat lazy and tired, camera shy little boy...he's just like his mommy!

Another cute moment was when we got to keep watching him sleep with his arms near his head. First, behind his head then one near his brow, etc. This is adorable because it's the same way I sleep! I always have an arm above my head, next to it, or I'm laying on it. I started crying when we saw this.

We were extremely surprised because we were both thinking girl, but are both happy. Matt is extremely ecstatic that he now gets to watch baseball instead of ballet and we get our little Mavericks fan. We've decided on David James for the little one, after both of our dads. Both my dad and Matt's are the best ever and we couldn't be luckier to have them both in our lives. And for this reason- our little one couldn't be more blessed to have such amazing grandfathers in his life.

2010 In Review

Matt and I spent New Years Eve alone at home. We watched "Get Him to the Greek" and I went to bed at 11:00. I tried hard to make it to midnight, but just couldn't handle it!
We were commenting on how fast this year has gone and after thinking about it, it feels like this year just flew by!! Here is a recap of the fantastic year we had!

I turned 23 and started grad school. As most of you know, it's going much better than I ever anticipated!

Matt turned 24 in February and we went on our honeymoon to the NBA All-Star Game in Dallas. We had an absolute blast!!!!

We had lots of people visit this year including my sister, brother-in-law and nieces, my parents, Matt's dad, Matt's brother, our friends Dusty and Renee and probably some others I'm forgetting about!

One of the big things we did this year was move into our house! Granted, we're just renting but a house nonetheless. And to go along with the house, we finally got to move the dogs in!! Buster decided to christen the carpet.

We also made a visit to see Matt's family in California. We enjoyed lots of good food, good wines, and lots of family. It was a nice relaxing vacation.

We took a trip to Kansas in August and enjoyed seeing friends and family. The dogs also celebrated their first birthday! I can't believe how big they've gotten! We then visited Cuchara Colorado and saw our friends Sasha and Mike. We were worried about the bears, but never saw one!

October marked our one year wedding anniversary and my surprise party. The day after our one year anniversary is the day I found out I was pregnant!

Overall- this marks one very exciting year! 2010 had a lot of great changes for us, but we can't wait for 2011!!


Here are some of the pictures from this year:

Lindberg Christmas

We had a nice relaxing Christmas at home with the dogs. We woke up at 8:30 to take Buster out and decided to stay up and open presents. We opened up all of our awesome gifts and then enjoyed cinnamon rolls for breakfast. We were/are a little worried about Buster because it looks like his urinary tract infection might have come back into play. We called the vet and they said not to worry quite yet. He was fine last night and this morning so far though so we're trying not to worry too much.

We spent the rest of the day watching Despicable Me and Toy Story 3 and had a pizza for dinner. We're fairly non-traditional anyway.




Our beautiful tree. Notice the Chicago Bulls, Dallas Mavericks, and Kansas Jayhawk ornaments. We debated doing an all sports tree.



The dogs who swore they've been good all year. ;)



Our two year Christmas tradition. Decorating sugar cookies!



Matt's Christmas gear; new shoes, new socks, some shirts, some CD's, and Toy Story 3.



My goodies; new shoes, new socks, a new sweater, an awesome pink robe, Despicable Me, Sex and the City 2, and the new Reba CD!



The dogs got some new toys and some bones!

Due Date Change and Vacay!

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!
