It's a GIRL!

Baby Peters was very active today! She wasn't afraid to let us know that she's a girl too! Dennis and I are very excited and realize that we should probably start narrowing down our list of names. I'm glad that she was cooperative in letting us know that we will be needing little pink blankets & bows come May, but she is a little camera shy like her mom. They weren't able to get any 3D shots where her face was visible. :( We'll just have to wait to see her until spring!

The first picture is probably the clearest one...

This one you can see her left hand on her face... So cute!

These are the shin bones I do believe...

She's upside down in this one. You can see her nose and eyes.

Quick Update

Pretty much all I think about these days is little baby Peters. I'm 18 weeks along, starting to show a bit (might just be the turkey from last week...), and I can now feel its little movements! It seems to always start dancing any time I lay down for a nap, or maybe that's just when I'm still enough to feel it. Regardless, I absolutely LOVE it! I'm also very much looking forward to our ultrasound in 2 weeks. Last week we found out that Josh & Donielle will be having a little boy... I feel like a kid again waiting for Christmas to come. I am so excited!

Happy Thanksgiving!

When I was young my mom would make a large tree outline on the pantry door. All through November we could write things we were grateful for on colorful leaves and tape them onto the tree. It was a fun way of being able to see the many things we had been blessed with.

I did a miniature version of this for Young Women's a couple weeks ago. My tree now sits on my piano to remind me of the many beautiful things that Heavenly Father has blessed me with.

A few things I am grateful for this year: A loving husband that works very hard and gives me more happiness than I could ever ask for; a healthy little unborn baby that I think I maybe might've felt move yesterday; a comfortable home to live in; a beautiful city that provides me with minutes access to my work, education, the temple, and to both Dennis & my parents' houses; the opportunity I have to work with amazing youth at school and at church; the commandments that Heavenly Father gives us; and the blessing of happiness that knowing and keeping those commandments brings.

Happy Thanksgiving!

So you think you can dance?

This weekend I got invited to attend the SYTYCD Season 5 Concert in Salt Lake with the Peters girls. We had so much fun! Distribution center, mall, good food, concert and Music & the Spoken Word... We packed a lot of stuff into 24 hours!

I LOVED the show! It made me want to dance all the way back to the hotel... But I'm really finding that my balance isn't quite what it used to be. Plus, the "pregnancy bible" (aka: what to expect when you're expecting) says that I'm supposed to avoid jumping, pointing my toes, arching my back, doing deep knee bends, or sudden changes in direction when exercising. Seriously? I can't think of any dance moves that avoid all of that stuff. How depressing.

...But the show was still awesome!
