SURPRISE!!!

Well, I think it's about time that I blog about our exciting news! Some of you may already know, but we are expecting our first baby the first week in March and we are so excited!! The pregnancy has been going very well. I'll admit the beginning was pretty rough, lots of nausea/vomiting and absolutely no energy, but it's amazing how fast you forget about that once you start feeling better. I have been feeling great the last few weeks! I am 27 weeks now and time is flying!!

These are pics from our latest ultrasound which was at 23 weeks...

Here is a belly pic from 24 weeks...

My new obsession...

I can't get enough of this album lately!! It's kinda funny because I am normally not a huge fan of Scarlett Johansson, but I am now! I like Pete Yorn so I gave it a chance and I love it!!!

October!!!

I just wanted to say how much I LOVE October! It is my favorite month. I actually love the last 3 months of the year, but there is just something about October that I look forward to every year.....probably PUMPKINS!! I love anything and everything pumpkin! Now, if only we had trees that change color around here, Fall would be perfect. I'm just grateful that the weather is starting to cool off! "Happy October" everyone!!

3 little "chippas"

I was organizing my photos when I came across this picture and it made me smile! This photo was taken in Hawaii when I went for Lindsay's graduation from BYU. This trip was so much fun, despite the tropical storm that we had to endure our entire stay! Talk about a bad hair day, it was more like a bad hair week!! Love you guys!

It's a tight race!!!

I think that the bottom three contestants left on this season of American Idol are AWESOME, but I have to admit that Kris Allen is my favorite!! I think that his version of "Heartless" last night was amazing! Go Kris!!

I feel sick to my stomach...

Most of you probably already know, but let's just throw it out there. I am addicted to The Bachelor. Yes, I know. I need to get a life. I can't help it. I'm not sure why I really watch this show. If you look at it's track record it sure hasn't been very successful. I guess I'm just a hopeless romantic. Anyway, I am so mad at Jason right now!! How could he do that to Melissa?!? She deserves so much better. She wasn't even my original pick (I actually liked Jillian), but I felt so bad for her last night. When else would you have to break up with your fiance on national television and then watch him kiss another girl 20 minutes later.....leave it to The Bachelor! I think I speak for Melissa when I say....HOW RUDE!!!

"A pirate's life for me..."

We had quite the scare on Friday. Torrey was at home working out with an exercise band and it slipped off his foot and came back and hit him in the face. I was at work, but Torrey said immediately after it happened he blacked out. He could not see at all for a few minutes. He had excruciating pain in his left eye and he felt as though a part of it might have been cut off (I don't do well with eye trauma so when he told me this I almost keeled over). He still could not see, but he made his way to the bathroom. The vision slowly returned to his right eye. When he was looking in the mirror he could tell that his entire left eye was extremely bloodshot, but the iris (the colored part, around your pupil) was filling up with blood. He was so scared that his vision might never return in this eye. He knew that he needed to get to a doctor quickly so he drove himself to Mercy Gilbert ER. He was seen by a doctor within minutes of arriving to the hospital. He then called me at work and fortunately, I was able to leave right away. I met him at the hospital. The doctor told him that he had a "hyphema" which is bleeding in the anterior chamber of the eye. The staff had arranged for him to see an ophthalmologist in Gilbert right away. They gave us his discharge instructions and then I drove him to the appointment. All the discharge papers said was "Your injury has caused you to develop a hyphema, which is bleeding in the front of the eye. Hyphemas can be very dangerous." Needless to say, after reading that I was very scared. We both were. The ophthalmologist examined his eye and said that he thought Torrey would recover fully from his injury. He said that it might just take a few days for the blood clot to be reabsorbed and for the blood that had collected to dissolve. He said that there is, however, a risk of developing a "rebleed". If he were to develop a rebleed, his entire eye could fill with blood and he would need surgery to drain it. A rebleed can cause glaucoma and even cause him to lose his vision. We were determined to do whatever it takes to avoid a rebleed. So what's the treatment.....total bedrest! So Torrey has strict orders from the doctor to be a couch potato for 5 days! The medication (steroid eye drops) that the doctor gave us is helping to relieve his pain wonderfully. The good news is that his eye seems to be healing very well. What a relief.....and a blessing!! The thing I found so interesting and scary was that the ophthalmologist told us that Torrey was the second hyphema case he had seen that day caused by an exercise band. Can you believe that? So much for his new year's resolution to get in shape!!!
It is hard to see his eye in this picture because it is so incredibly sensitive to light. He has been wearing his sunglasses practically 24/7. Yesterday it was 10:30pm, all the lights in the house were off, and Torrey was laying on the couch with his sunglasses on trying to watch tv. Poor guy!
So this is what his eye looks (or looked) like!!! Gross huh!?! 
(Did I mention that I don't do well with eye trauma?!)
