I'm a tv junkie now days.

Can I just tell you all how much I love TV lately?! Ben gets home from work and usually his knees are killing him and I'm super lazy after 5 p.m. haha so our nightly thing has been to eat dinner and watch tv together. It's lame and not productive but I love it. Last night was awesome. I always hated The Office but Comedy night on NBC is just to funny to pass up. We love Community, The Office, and Outsourced. It's definitely stupid humor but if you aren't watching you should be.

Anyways-

I'm getting my house all decorated for Halloween/Fall time and I love it. It will be cute :) We are both getting more and more excited for Baby Chappell to come. My mom got Ben some newborn Texas Longhorn stuff and He LOVES it. It's super cute but so tiny! The little booties aren't going to fit him for very long but he can wear it home from the hospital :) Also, I finally went in and did some baby registry stuff. My lovely sister in law and my family are doing baby showers in November so I needed to start deciding on what we need. We weren't at the store for very long but we did get a free goody bag for going in. :)

Well sorry my posts aren't very exciting. Our lives are pretty much the same right now but it's crazy to think how much it's going to change next year.

OHHHH That reminds me.... I do have something else to say :)

I am so so so grateful for the blessings of paying our tithing. This last paycheck we decided it was more important to get caught on up tithing then anything. So once we mailed off our huge insurance premium check we wrote out a tithing slip and just trusted in the Lord that he would provide us a way to pay the rest of our bills. Well last night we officially decided to sell our old beat up 4x4 truck. Ben put it on facebook around 6 p.m. and we had so many offers on it right away. We thought it would be a stretch to get $600 for it and we ended up selling it for $700. I can not even describe how grateful I am. I'm so glad we had the faith to trust in the Lord. He knows best. :)

Life is sooooo good.

I love life. Yes we are broke because insurance is so expensive but I love life. Ben makes me so happy and we're enjoying the little things. Baby is doing great, he's just over 10 inches long now and he's so spoiled already. Grandma Crosland and Aunt Angela have already given us gifts. My mom got the cutest little lamb bouncer thingy (I don't know what they are called) I have a whole little tote full of newborn clothes and the cutest little shoes she got us and she ordered some Christmas presents! What a cute grandma :) My Aunt spoiled us with the cutest puppy nightgown and blankets. Then Grandma Chappell scored us a deal on a stroller. I am so grateful for them. I don't know what we'd do without everyones help! Oh and I'm super spoiled too :) Kimmy is letting me borrow 3 totes full of maternity clothes. Thank You for your help guys. Love you lots.

Ben's loving his job. He now is managing 2 t-mobile stores in the Provo Mall and he is super busy. Even when he is home his phone goes off all the time. Oh Well, I'm grateful for his job and how hard he works for me and baby :)

This last week my Dad has been super sick. I'm so glad he's out of the hospital and getting better each and everyday. I'm completely a Daddy's Girl so it's hard for me to see him sick, but we went down and saw him on Saturday and I think seeing his favorite child made him feel better because he's been getting better everyday since :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update on me: I have pretty much had the easiest pregnancy ever. I didn't have morning sickness and yes I was tired but I'm ok with sleeping all day. :) We're at 21 weeks now and my only complaints have been that my back hurts! I am carrying him so far back and low that he is literally pushing on my Sciatic Nerve. It's causing some pain and sometimes it makes my hips feel numb. I also feel him kicking me super low and I feel lots of tingles in the stomach which I'm pretty sure is the baby doing somersaults. I still get a little nervous somedays when I don't feel him but I just have to trust that all is well.

Well thats about all that is new with us :)

We finally found out!

We're having a Boy! We are both so excited. The baby is super strong and healthy and everything looks good. It's sitting sooooo low. After about 20 minutes of checking the brain and organs and making sure he was perfect I finally had to get up and do jumping jacks and walk around for a few minutes to try and get him to move up. Well he finally moved to his side a little and we got the shot! Yay! We both have always thought boy but lately almost everyone has said it's a girl so I started thinking they were right because they have kids but nope it's going to be a boy and we are both just so excited. Now on to the boring stuff I have gained 8 pounds and I am showing. It's still very small but it's there and I love it. The End!

Move baby Move!

Week 17 has brought lots of movement from baby chappell! I love it! Ben has felt it but it's so hard to feel. We're so excited to find out what it is. Boy or Girl we can't wait! The 8th can not come soon enough :)

Lucky Girl :)

I just have to tell you all how lucky I am. Life is so good for us. We are completely spoiled. Mostly I am spoiled. Ben works so hard for me and takes such good care of me. I love him so much and am so grateful for him. We are so excited to be pregnant. He says the cutest things sometimes but I won't embarrass him. I can't wait until we know what this baby is. I'll be happy as long as it has Ben's blue eyes :) And I'm going to have to stock up on Longhorn baby clothing lol Boy or Girl thats what Ben thinks it should wear all the time :) he's cute.. Well thats really all I had to say!

4 months down 5 more to go!

Woot Woot! We went to the doctor yesterday. It was kinda a pointless appointment. haha all he did was go oh yeah there is the heartbeat... sounds good and strong... any questions? You feeling good? Awesome since everything looks great at this point lets just schedule the ultrasound! I went YAY!!!!!!!!!!! So the day we find out is Sept 8th :) I got the earliest appointment I could because I can't wait :) I have been doing pretty good. I've figured out what makes me sick so I've been doing better. I have energy now and feel like I can actually get work done! Dr. Pepper and I are not friends and it really makes me sad. The fews times I've had it lately it makes me sick :( I hope our friendship can continue in January because I will miss him dearly.

Oh and baby looks like this!

The size of an orange...really?

Baby is 4 inches long and weighs 2.5 oz. I know thats tiny but it actually looks like a little baby :) I can feel him or her fluttering around every once in a while and I love it. I wish I could feel it every single day. We have our next appointment on August 11th and I can't wait. I love hearing that heart beating. We haven't gotten anything for the baby yet. I think about it all the time and want to go look around but I don't think Ben is into it yet.. Hopefully we can go someday. We still have 5.5 months until the arrival of our little one. I wish it would come sooner but I can be patient. I love this baby so much already and can't wait to meet them.
