Haylie May Taylor's first photos!

Here's her profile! She's so cute. ;)
Her little tiny foot! I'm surprised that we were able to get a picture of it, she was moving, kicking and squirming the whole time!

It's a girl! I'm sure she loves being put on display like this, poor thing. ;)

It's a...

GIRL!

Jake and I are thrilled! It was so much fun to be able to see our little baby girl yesterday. We saw her cute little arms and legs and her little tiny hands and feet. She is soo wiggly! Even the ultrasound technician said that we had a super active baby on our hands! Hopefully she'll get all her wiggles out while she's inside me, I don't know if we'll be able to keep up with her! ;)

But she's healthy and strong and ready to meet everyone in December!

TOMORROW!!

We have our ultrasound tomorrow!! :) :)

I'm so excited to finally SEE our baby and have it become that much more real that there's a little baby in this tummy of mine. We'll be able to see that it's growing and healthy and finally know what we're having! Jake and I are still thinking it's a boy but we could be wrong!

We can't wait to find out and be able to announce it to everyone! We'll keep you updated!

Belly Update!

Here's some more belly pictures! My tummy is slowly poking out more each day! :)

16 weeks.

18 weeks and 2 days! (don't mind the messy bed, I hadn't made it yet) ;)
18 weeks 2 days! I love my little belly!!!

Happy Birthday, Jake!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband!! I am so grateful to call him mine. :)
I love you so much and I hope you have a great birthday!

I surprised Jake with a trip to NW Trek wildlife park last saturday for part of his birthday. Above is a picture of him by the Eagle exhibit.

Woo! What a hottie. Here, Jake is showing off his new shirt he got for his birthday.

Come vote!

So, I realized today that our ultrasound appointment to find out what we're having isn't too far away! (August 3rd is the appointment) Yippie!
I thought it would be fun to see what everyone thinks it will be. So vote! -------->
P.S. We think that it's a boy. :)

Taylor family reunion-Bear Lake 2009

^^^what a bunch of goofy kids! seeing the picture below, I wonder where they get it from? ;)
Our little family picture below. Soon there will be 3 of us!

Jake and I were able to drive down at the end of June for Jake's family reunion at Bear Lake this year! We were so excited to have a fun vacation and to be able to spend a weekend with Jake's family! We always love spending time with them and seeing how much the nieces and nephews have grown!
We stayed in cute little cabins, cooked outside for every meal, battled off mosquitos, played games on the beach, walked through the sand barefoot, took family pictures, played in the cold Bear Lake water, wakeboarded (not me, though), rode in Cory's boat, got sunburnt and mostly just enjoyed being with family! It was such a fun weekend and we were sad to leave everyone! I don't know if it was pregnacy emotions but I couldn't stop tearing up when we were driving away! I feel very blessed to have such wonderful in-laws. Thanks for the wonderful weekend!

number 100!

This is my 100th blog post! What an exciting moment.


Sooo.. I've got a lot of pictures and events to share on here and I'm finally getting to posting them!


At the end of May, I flew to Utah for my brother's high school graduation! Congrats, Tay Tay! I'm very proud of him and I'm so glad that I was able to be there for that and to spend time with my family!





The next event was my 22nd birthday! My birthday was on a thursday and I was babysitting that day so we had my birthday celebration the next day. Jake took me shopping for my birthday to get some shoes and a new black purse! I got two pairs of flats from Payless for $30! Sweet. Then Jake took me to eat at Falls Terrace restaurant. This place is so yummy and has a great view of the falls as you eat dinner! Below is a picture of us outside by the falls before we ate.

After dinner, we headed back home where Jake surprised me with a party! He had invited a few of our friends to come hang out at our apartment and have snacks, ice cream cake (that my friend, Julina, made just for me! She's my birthday twin! Thanks, J!) and the boys played Wii while the women chatted! It was a lot of fun and our little apartment survived having that many people and children there! Thanks for making my birthday so fun, Jake!

I'm 15 weeks now! I'm not really showing much yet but my tummy is definitely starting to stick out a bit! Here's a picture of my sortof baby belly. I can't wait to show more! I'm loving being pregnant a lot more these days. It's so great to have my energy and appetite back now!

My sister's baby should be here any day now. I'm so excited to have another niece! :)
