ups and downs

There have been so many ups and downs lately.... mostly ups, but still no one likes the downs.

Two weeks ago Logan and I learned that my brother Erik, now had a daughter. Down.

We didn't know anything about the situation, he's sixteen, a junior, and not ready to be a father. To be honest i was really upset! (since then i have come to accept what has happened and am okay with it) Well after we found out I went to visit the Baby Keanna Faye. Logan was working and my all my family was going so i tagged along. If i were going to be an Aunt then I at least wanted to see my Niece.

She was adorable and I immediately fell in love with her. Up.

How can you not be... She is adorable! We also met Keanna's family. They were so nice and so welcoming. Up

I also had time to spend with my family another Up!

This past week Logan received a promotion and transferring!! He's going to be closer to home and who does not love a promotion? Another UP!

Our Baby James has been growing so fast, he is moving constantly which is a bit painful sometimes but always worth it. Up! Yet i have been starting to get Braxton hicks Contractions, Ouch! ...Down!

The Ups definitely out weigh the downs, which is wonderful and always worth focusing on.

Baby Bliss and I only have 64 more days until we met. I can not wait!

Logan's Birthday!

This past week we celebrated Logan's 24th birthday! It was a ton of fun, and he was very spoiled this year! First we decided that his present would be a TV! We have been using our computer screen since we've been married which didn't bother me, but Logan being the computer guy he is could not handle it anymore! So we went to best buy and we got him a 40 inch Samsung LCD flat screen. We decided that it would be his birthday present, which he was just fine with. Within the next few days Logan and I went to pick up my iPhone case at Verizon. While we were there the sales agent told Logan that he could get the iPhone as well. He was sure that the agent was wrong he already knew his upgrade wasn't for a few months. But we waited and they later confirmed that he was not eligible for an upgrade, Logan was a bit upset.
I originally wanted to get Logan the Xbox 360 with the Kinect, it's been something he has been obsessed with since it's come out. So when he was told that he could not get the phone of his dreams I knew I wanted to surprise him with the Xbox and Kinect. I tried to keep it a secret because i love surprises, he on the other hand is a bit impatient. After telling him we went to game stop to pick up the system and games! He was so excited and has loved it since we've bought it.

For Logan's birthday we decided to drive down to the valley. It was a wonderful retreat especially after the snow storm we had in town. while in the valley we watched a movie (Logan's weakness) and eat at some restaurants that we don't have in flagstaff. We also had time to visit the temple, we both had the best week celebrating Logan's birthday.

I couldn't ask for such a more wonderful husband! He makes me the most happiest wife!

February: Celebration month

This has by far been the busiest month and I must say the best yet.
I finished off January with going to the wedding expo at the Radisson,and because I work there and i love weddings I helped out.... If you were the lucky girl there to see all the wonderful vendors I was the one registering all the brides. My morning was very enjoyable, I was able to congratulate all the brides and see how excited they were about their upcoming wedding. I was also able to see some vendors who were at my wedding! Cameron and Kelly Studios, what talented women, I love all their work! Sedona Sweet Arts was at the expo with cake samples....yum! Donna Joy even remembered my cake! Jason from Peaks Audio was also at the expo. Last year the same day Was one of the best days ever.... It was the day that Logan proposed!! I remember that day so well it was amazing! We were both so excited to spend he rest of our lives together.
The 6th was my birthday and also Superbowl Sunday, I was opposed to celebrating or watching the superbowl. Logan gave me the best birthday yet! Since my birthday was on a Sunday we decided to celebrate it in Saturday and it was wonderful. Logan surprised me with a spa trip!! He took me to the spa to get a facial, shampoo and blow dry plus a make up application. It was so relaxing and absolutely amazing. After the spa Logan gave me my present... He bought me Uggs!! I almost cried! On Sunday, we were surprised by my in-laws I was so excited to see them. They drove all the way from Missouri! We spent the night with them and a few friends it was most wonderful!

On the 8th we spent the day with our family in Cottonwood, all the girls and I went shopping (I bought maternity clothes!) while the guys went hiking. It was so nice to see everyone, especially Ma and Pa Bliss and David.
Which brings us to today Valentine's day... I love the holiday now that I have someone so wonderful to share it with.... I don't know our exact plans for tonight but as long as I am with Logan I am one happy girl.



27 weeks down 13 to go :)

Baby Update

This pregnancy has gone by fast but i must saw i have enjoyed every part of it, even the morning sickness. there are some new updates:

• More then half way through, I am now 22 weeks along!!
• I can now feel my little one moving
• NO MORE MORNING SICKNESS!!
• We are having a little boy!!
• We are both healthy, meaning one I am actually gaining weight! and two the baby is strong and growing with no problems that we know of.

Logan and I are so excited to be pregnant it is such a blessing! I also love watching my belly grow, my pants no longer fit, shirts are starting to get tight around the tummy. I have yet to purchase any maturity clothes, mostly because I want to see how long I can put it off before I absolutely must buy some. I tell Logan almost every night that my tummy is growing so fast I look at myself in the mirror and realize that there is a little boy growing inside, its such a sweet feeling.

I must admit I have heard the stories about random people just wanting to touch my tummy and they scare my like crazy! So when we go out I always wear a jacket or a sweater so my belly is not as noticeable so no random people will come and touch it.. how awkward!!

Baby Boy Bliss at 20 weeks

He's a BOY!

Only 18 weeks until we meet! Logan cannot wait!

an update for november..

Lately I have been so bad at updating my blogs... I would love to blame it mostly on my morning sickness but it's also because I am just so forgetful and easily distracted that i just haven't.

{PREGNANCY}
I am now 14 weeks pregnant! My morning sickness has been all day sickness for the last 7 weeks and I am hoping this week it starts to fade away. At my last appointment Logan ask the OB when the sickness would go away (he was so sweet, worrying about me being sick so often) the OB replied that most women will have it ease up around 14 weeks, or 1 in 100 women will be sick through their whole pregnancy! I am praying that I am not that 1! While laying in bed this morning Logan and I were examining my belly to see if I was yet to be showing anything.... and we figured if I lay flat on my back and relax all my stomach muscles then take a deep breath we could see what looks the size of a melon in my tummy.... this is not there normally so I believe that I can see where our little Fetus is growing! :)
We go back in 3 weeks for our Dr Appointment! I am so excited we will be able to hear the little heart beat beat and make sure I am still healthy. We heard the Heart beat last time and it was so exciting, I wanted to laugh and cry all at the same time but I just remained quiet and listened while I could!

{Missouri}
For Thanksgiving we will be visiting Missouri for the third time this year! I am really excited to see the family and be on a vacation! I will be able to meet some of the Bliss extended family, I have only met a couple of cousins so this will be quite the adventure (hopefully I will NOT be sick). I am assuming this will be the last time Logan and I will be able to travel just him and I to Missouri before our Baby is born. Oh how a baby changes plans all together!

{Just Logan and I}
We have been very busy with work and me sleeping all the time , we have still been to the movies! Which sometimes is not my favorite but Logan loves it so I tag along. :) We are always in Baby Mode, trying to figure out what makes me nauseous, what I can and can not eat. I feel as though we are always worried about me. Logan is so wonderful, he is always thinks of me and how I am feeling, making sure I am okay. He is so WONDERFUL! I could not ask for a better husband!

Well that's all I can think of going on in our lives.. 'til next time :)
