It's Christmas Time!

Almost there...

Mommy, Daddy & Baby girl Scott!!!

Mommy & sweet little Mia!

Our Family Christmas Tree!

Kevin and I were a little depressed a few months ago, when we started thinking about our plans and what we were going to do for Christmas this year... We both knew it was going to be a sad time for us because we were going to be away from both of our families! We knew that this year wasn't going to be the same or what we were used too... But I'm so close to my due date, the doctor told me that he didn't want me traveling anymore after Thanksgiving... We couldn't be more grateful for Kevin's Aunt & Uncle that live in American Fork, to take us in and let us spend Christmas with them and their family!!!

Christmas is around the conner, and we couldn't be more excited for family, fun and good food! We have 4 days of work left and then 2 whole weeks off! We have some friends from Oregon flying in tomorrow that we haven't seen in awhile and have activity's planned with some of Kevin's family the rest of the week!!! Kevin & I both love this time of year and couldn't be more excited for Christmas to come!!!

Ready to go!!!

We went to another doctor's appointment this last Wednesday! We got to see our baby peanut and couldn't believe how much bigger she is from the last time we saw her on the ultrasound screen. She is measuring right where she should be and her fluid level looks great! She is head down and ready for whenever she decideds to join us! I started having some contractions last night... which got Kevin and I a little nervous.. We decided that we should probably have things ready to go and my hospital bag packed just in case within these next couple days, she decideds to join us! Our doctor did say that she could come anytime now!!! We have another appointment with Dr. Minor next Tuesday, and will hopefully have some more good news to share! Kevin and I can't feel more blessed and couldn't be happier about this little bundle of joy coming into our lives! We are so excited and ready to be parents!!!

On To Weekly Visits!!!

I had another doctor’s appointment today!!! We are now starting the weekly doctor visits which means, the time is getting closer and closer till we finally get to meet our little gummy bear!!! Kevin is so excited!!! He keeps telling me that he’s ready for her to be here already and is hoping she comes sooner rather than later. I’m also very excited to meet our little girl but to tell you the truth, I’m dreading the labor and delivery… (I wish I had a fast forward button I could use to skip that part along with all the pain I have to go through to get her out of me.) I can’t believe our little girl could be here any day now! We have another appointment set up with our doctor next week, along with another ultrasound!!! I’m hoping she will come out of hiding and stop being shy! With every ultrasound we’ve had since the beginning, she turns away and hides so we can’t see her face… Hopefully next week, we will get to see who she looks like more! We are so grateful for this little miracle coming into our lives and we can’t feel more blessed. We love her so much already and can’t wait for her to join us whenever she’s ready!!!

3 WEEKS LEFT OF WORK!!!

I have 3 WEEKS left of work!!!!!!!

The Sweetest Husband in the WORLD!!!

I really do have the most sweetest, most caring and the world's best husband!!!! This last week I was telling Kevin that I needed someone to paint my toenails for me, because it's getting harder for me to bend over and see my toes with my belly in the way. I guess when I told him that, he thought I was telling him that he needed to do it. Haha!!!!!!!!! So last night, Kevin got everything out and gave me a full pedicure!!! I told him that he didn't need to do it... but he insisted! He said, he felt sorry for me having to carry the weight of our baby around for 9 months, never feeling good, and someday's not being able to bend down to tie my own shoes. I know he loves me, but I never thought I would see the day that I would see Kevin paint my toe or fingernails for me! I love my husband so much and am so grateful that I have him in my life! He's the best husband and I know will be the best father for our daughter!!!

I LOVE YOU Kevin!!!

Arizona Roadtrip!

Kevin and I have decided to head down to Arizona this Wednesday for Thanksgiving weekend!!! We are having to drive, which kind of stinks...but we are very grateful for the time that we both have off from work and school and are able to spend it with family. This will really be our first Holiday with Kevin's parents since we have been married!!!!! (When we got married, Mom & Dad Scott were serving a 2 year mission in England!) So for the last couple years we have spent it with my family up in Oregon. Kevin and I are so excited and can't wait for Thanksgiving!!!

33 Weeks!!!

33 weeks pregnant and only 7 weeks left to go!!! I can't believe how fast time has gone by! I had another doctor's appointment this morning and everything went really well. Our little weasel is doing great and she is still very active, healthy and right on track!

I have been super tired lately and can't wait till I’m done with work in the next few weeks. I seem to get a good 9 hours of sleep every night, but still seem to have to take a nap in the middle of the day before I go to work. And then by the time I get home from work, I’m so tired, I sometimes don't eat dinner and go straight to bed.

My belly is growing more and more every day! Our doctor says that she’s measuring a bit small right now but may gain some weight these last few weeks. But other than that, everything is right on track and everything looks good!

Kevin and I are still thinking of names... It's been rough trying to pick out a name for our daughter when we both want something totally different. I like the more traditional names and Kevin thinks we should name her something unique and different. I keep trying to tell him that as a child, it's hard growing up with a unique and different name in school... Trust me, I know... haha! But then Kevin says, try having 4 or 5 different Kevin's in your class... We know that our daughter will be special and beautiful either way, but trying to find a name that we both can agree on has been very tough. (So if you have any ideas of little girl names, let us know!!!!) But we both have agreed that, we probably wont decide on a name until we get to meet her and see what she looks like. (From the ultrasounds we have had in the last couple months, it looks like she will have Kevin's eyes and my nose!) But we will see in just 7 more weeks!!!

8 WEEKS left!!!

I have 8 WEEKS left at my job!!! My last day of work will be December 23rd, 2010. I can't believe it's so close! The time is flying by and our sweet baby girl will be here before we know it. Kevin and I are so excited and can't wait to meet our little one! We had another doctor's appointment yesterday and everything is right on track! My expected due date is still 1/11/11!!! She has a very strong heartbeat, healthy, and growing right on track. From what we can see from the ultrasounds, it looks like she has Kevin's eyes and my nose. She is perfect!!! I have another doctor's appointment in 3 weeks and then we start meeting with our doctor every 2 weeks! Baby girl Scott will be here in no time!!!

I L.O.V.E Ultrasounds!!!

We had another ultrasound this morning for them to retake measurements of our little girl! Since I have FINALLY reached my last trimester, my doctor wanted to make sure that our little girl is still on track with our expected due date and that every thing is still growing and developing properly on time.
So, every time I know that I have a doctor’s appointment coming up, I get so anxious the day before! I can’t help but think of our little one and wonder if she’s still doing okay… I think of the worst things that could go wrong… So we walk into the hospital, check in, and then get escorted to our patient’s room. I lay down on the table, and before the ultrasound technician can say anything, Kevin and I look and see our little girl on the ultrasound monitor and we both feel this overwhelming feeling of comfort and know that she’s okay and doing very well! I think the first stages of parenthood are starting to set in… I looked at Kevin and knew everything was going to be okay!
I love being able to see our little girl and know that she’s growing well and getting ready to come into this world. Every time we have an ultrasound done, I am just amazed at how much she has grown and developed since the last ultrasound. I am so grateful for our little girl and can’t wait to meet her!!!

11 more WEEKS!!!

14 WEEKS LEFT TO GO!!!

I can't believe I only have 14 more weeks being Prego!!! Time has gone by so fast... And I know after my Birthday next week and with the holidays around the conner, I know time is going to fly by! Our little girl will be here before we know it!!! We can't wait too meet our baby girl and can't wait for her to join us. 14 more weeks to rest up and get all the sleep I can!!!

Squirming in my belly...

I have finally felt my baby girl move for the first time!!! It started to scare me when my doctor started asking me at 16 weeks, if I have felt my baby move at all? I asked, should I be feeling her move?... I guess some women start feeling there baby move and kick at 16 weeks but he told me not to worry if I didn’t since this was my first… Since then, I have been scared every week, because I wasn’t feeling anything! Not one little flutter… I kept telling Kevin, something has to be wrong with our little girl. I haven’t felt our baby move and I’m 22 weeks! What’s weird is that we would have an ultrasound every two weeks and we could see her moving and kicking, I just couldn’t feel it… And two weeks ago, I felt her move and kick for the first time! Last night, Kevin and I were sitting and watching t.v. and actually saw her move in my stomach through my t-shirt! I think Kevin finally started to realize that his daughter is growing and getting bigger and it’s just not me getting fatter... Haha!!! It’s becoming more and more real everyday that our daughter will be here in just 4 short months! We are both very excited and can’t wait to meet our little girl!!!

We are having a little baby Girl!!!

Due: January 7th, 2011

The End Of Our Summer!!!

Kevin just finished up his last SUMMER semester at BYU today!!! By this time next year Kevin will be graduated from college!!! He gets 2 long weeks off before Fall semester starts the end of August. These last 2 weeks have been very long, stressful, and we both have not gotten a whole lot of sleep. So we have decided to go out tonight and treat ourselves to dinner and a movie! I always love date night Friday's!!! (It reminds us back when we were in High School and every Friday night after the football games, we would go out with all our friends to Red Robin for dinner and then go to the movies!) No matter what we are doing or where we are, it always seems to bring us closer together and re-light that spark that we have for eachother! Yayyyy DATE NIGHT!!!!!!

*One week from today we will be able to find out if we are having a boy or a girl!!! Kevin still thinks we our having a girl, and i'm still leaning towards a boy! Either way, we will both be very excited!!!

Starting Scrapbooking Again!

I have decided to start scrapbooking again! Yayy!!! I have taken time off the last 5 months from scrapbooking because I don't ever seem to have time anymore... When we moved to Utah this last January, life got way toooo busy. I started working full time and now being 4 1/2 months pregnant, the time I do have I'm sleeping because I'm tired or sick 24 hours of everyday!!! Second, Kevin and I never see eachother. We have completely different hours during the week. I just don't ever have enough time to just sit down for a good few hours, lay out all my craft and scrapbooking tools on the table and sit and work on our family scrapbook album, without any drama or errands that have to be done. I know it will only get more busy when the baby comes but I'm hoping to get all caught up on this years album, so that when December comes around so I can start the new baby album!!! So wish me luck, you know what I will be doing this weekend. Haha!!!

Update!!!

So I know I have been slacking the last few weeks with this blog. But Kevin and I have been super busy lately... Kevin has 2 weeks left of his summer term in school and has been loaded every week with homework and papers. He just had midterms last week and did very well. I really don't have a good reason except for working full time and being 4 1/2 months pregnant. I have been really lazy lately and have been sleeping a total of 12 hours a day! I sleep for about 9-10 hours a night and then by the time I wake up and run a couple errands and clean the house, I'm tired again by lunch time and have to take a nap before I go to work! Sometimes my body feels like I have had the flu (with the body aches, sleeping a lot) but really I'm just sleepy all the time and don't ever feel like doing anything.
The pregnancy is going well. At my last doctors appt. my doctor seemed to be a little worried with my weight. I have lost a total of 20 pounds in the last 3 months and can't seem to gain any weight. He wasn't so worried when I was in my first trimester and having the morning sickness, he said it was kind of normal to loose some weight in the first few months. But now that I’m over the morning sickness and can actually eat a full meal again, he seemed to be worried with the reason why I'm not gaining more weight. So he has me coming into the hospital every 2 weeks to weigh in!!! I'm hoping the baby is healthy and is doing well. (My doctor didn't seem to worry much about the baby.) He said it's still pretty small and is taking whatever it needs from me. But the GOOD NEWS is that we have another doctor’s appt. on August 13th! And this appt. is the one at the actual hospital where we will have the big ultrasound machine that will be able to take still pictures of the baby and get the measurements of the baby as well. We also get to find out the gender of the baby!!!! August 13th will be such an exciting day that we will never forget!!!


P.S. I haven't forgotten to post the pictures of our family reunion's from the past few weeks, but I have to wait till I have time to upload about 50 pictures! haha! They should be up shortly!!!

Weight Loss!

Soooo... in 2 months I have actually lost 16 pounds!!! Which is a good thing for me, since I was a 10 pounds overweight since I got married 2 years ago. Since being prego, I have stuck to a very limited diet. Not because I have wanted too, but because my stomach and nose have decided what I can and cannot eat these last few months. I am back to the weight I was when Kevin and I started dating and he got home from his mission 4 years ago! It makes me happy knowing that I'm at the weight I have wanted to be back at for the last few years. But in the back of my mind I keep telling myself to enjoy it while I can now because in a few months I will be bigger and very much pregnant. But they say you are only suppost to gain 20 pounds to your whole pregnancy, so losing those 16 pounds put me at a head start! Instead of having to lose 30 pounds (the baby weight plus the extra 10 pounds I wanted to lose) after having a baby, I will only have to lose 20!!! :)

Going on VACATION!!!!!

Kevin and I are going on Vacation! We leave tomorrow morning for Bear Lake!!! We have a family reunion this weekend and the whole family will be there! I will be taking lots and lots of pictures! I can't wait to have 4 days off!!! I will be laying out be the pool, four wheeling, boating and playing with all my cute nieces and nephews! :)

SURPRISE!!!!

If you couldn't tell by the picture, our little Scott Family is growing by 2 more (little) feet!!! Kevin and I just found out that we are expecting a baby!!! I am about 2 1/2 months along and the baby and I are doing great! The estimated due date right now is January 11th, 2011! We go in for another ultra sound this Friday and should have a closer estimated due date and hopefully some pictures of our little one! Kevin and I couldn't be happier or more excited! We can't wait!!!

Road Trip!!!

This weekend, Kevin & I will be heading to Colorado! I am so excited!!!! I get to spend the weekend with my whole FAMILY!!! This will be the first time my whole family has been together in 4 years!!! I haven't seen one of my sister's since 2006 and my nephew who is 2 years old, that I have never gotten to meet. I will be posting lots of pictures!!!

P.S. I also have some exciting news to share with them when we arrive!!! You guys will have to wait and find out! ;)

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

To all you Mom's, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!!!

I love OREGON!!!

I am really wanting to take a few days off work and take a road trip and get out of Utah! I am really missing the Oregon weather and of course my family and friends... We will see.. I not sure if we will be able to right now but maybe June or July!!!

The Tulip Festival!!!

Kevin and I got the opportunity last Saturday to go out to Thanksgiving Point and walk through The Tulip Festival!!! It was something that we have never been able to do before, so we were both really excited! It was SOOOOO beautiful! We had a great time and plan on going again next year. Here are a few pictures from our trip!!!

In the secret garden!

The view!

These were Kevin's favorite!

Waiting....

This is Mia waiting in front of the gate in the hallway, watching the front door... She wakes up every morning at 2 a.m. on the clock, knowing Kevin is coming home from work. She does this every night! It's so cute!!!! She is the sweetest little girl and loves her daddy so much!!!

Snow, Snow & More SNOW!!!

I really don't think it's going to stop snowing until July!!! This picture was taken this morning outside our apartment when we woke up... I thought since we are in the month of April now, we wouldn't be seeing any more snow until next October... I guess I was wrong!.. Where is the sunny warm weather I have been waiting for!?!

Parks & Picnics!

This last weekend, we experienced our first warm day of Spring in Utah! When we woke up that morning and we decided to try and spend most of the day outside in the warm weather. So we packed up the car and went to the park! Picnics, bike rides through the canyon, and laying out in the sun!!! I can't wait for more days like these!

BLONDE Again!!!

Going on a DIET!!!!!

Aslyn is going on a DIET!!!!!!! My husband keeps telling me that I don't need to go on a diet and that I'm perfect the way I am, which is very sweet of him to say... But I have been recently been shopping for spring and summer clothes and relized before I start buying all new clothes for summer time, I need to slim down a bit and get rid of some of this winter coat I have been carrying around from the Holidays. I have a goal to lose 10 pounds before summer is here! Kevin and I pulled into our apartment complex the other day and saw the management team outside scraping and scrubbing the sides of the pool and hot tub! Which means they are getting it ready for the summer! I can't wait to lay out by a pool again, relax and play in the sun!!!! Spring is here and Summer is around the corner! Hopefully I can make my goal of 10 pounds in time. Wish me luck!!!

Friday Night is Date Night!

I LOOOOVVVVEEEE FRIDAY NIGHTS!!! I look forward to them all week long. Kevin surprises me every week with something fun and exciting! It's our little tradition and I love it!!! When I got off work tonight, Kevin came to pick me up and suprised me with a single long stem red rose! He is the sweetest husband ever!!! He decided tonight we would cook dinner at home together and then meet up with two of our really good friends, Danny & Brittany Dalton for dessert and then some cosmic bowling!!! I love my husband very much and can't wait to see what the future holds for us! He is my greatest blessing and i'm so thankful for all that he does for me. He is the love of my life and i'm so happy he picked me!!! I LOVE YOU KEV!!!!!!!!!!

Where are you Spring???

Kevin and I are ready for Spring to be here! We can't wait for long walks and bike rides in the evenings at sunset, sprintime picnics in the parks, and of course roadtrips! But before I get too excited about it, let me tell you how our day went today... I don't think Spring is around our corner anytime soon. Our morning started off great!!! We woke up and got ready for the day and were off to run some errands before school and work. It was a beautiful day... It was 60 degrees outside and the sun was shinning. We never thought we would need a jacket or a coat. A couple hours later it started getting very cold and windy. And then the rain came and then of course the snow... It snowed for about 3 hours straight, and then finailly let up a little bit. Only in Utah can it snow when its 60 degrees outside! haha! Kevin and I hate the snow and have both agreed that it's the only thing bad about living in Utah. We probably should of worn a coat or jacket today...We can't wait for Spring to get here!!!

Valentines Day!

Mia's 1st year!

Happy Birthday Mia!

Our little girl Mia, turned 1 year old today. Kevin and I can't believe how fast time has gone by... She is the sweetest little girl and always makes us laugh! We love her so much and couldn't picture our life without her. She is always there for us when we need her and always brightens up our day!

WE LOVE YOU MIA!!!!

MY NEW JOB!!!!!

So... it's official!!! I am now the full-time Front Desk Manager for Provo College!!! I work in the evenings Monday through Friday from 2-9 PM and then, every other Saturday morning from 9- 1. This schedule actually works out great for both Kevin and I!!! We are night people and like staying up late, plus Kevin works in the evenings also from 10-2 AM up on campus. So now, we can both be on the same sleeping schedule. Haha! We are so happy and so blessed, and are loving being back in Utah!!!!!

1. We both have really good jobs.

2. Kevin is starting down his career path as a Computer Engineer and is loving school!

3. And we are surrounded by lots of good friends and we couldn't be happier!!!

Christmas in Oregon 2009!!!

Here are a few pictures of Christmas in Oregon!!! Enjoy...

Sorry these are so late.

Just woke up... (6:30 am!)

The Bell kids!!!

Love my new jeans!!! (Thanks Kev!)

Family Photo!

Christmas Day nap... (This is what they do best!)

Bye Christmas... See you next year!!!

Christmas this year was a little tough for us... With packing up all our stuff from my mom's house, saying our goodbyes to both of our families, and moving to back to Utah, there just wasn't a whole lot of Christmas cheer going around. We were very said to leave Oregon... We loved being so close to our families this past year and it was one of the greatest blessings. But, it was time for us to go and leave Oregon and finish school. We moved back to Provo, so Kevin can finish up and graduate from BYU. He's so excited to be back in a classroom, with real teachers and other students. The past year, Kev has been taking online classes as a full time student, while working full time. He's been so excited about all his classes and has finally found a major that he loves! We can't wait to start a new life in Utah and are so excited of all the things to come!
