Here's to 2013

We are back... almost!
It has been a crazy and amazing 3 weeks
I can't wait to post pictures
but for now... as I sit here in bed so sick from the craziness of the 3 weeks away
I am so excited to start this year
I have a feeling this will be an exciting year
full of change
but especially full of love 
can't wait for our little baby to come
actually I feel like I have to say that... I can wait until May- we have lots to get done before this little one makes an appearance. 
 This year will also bring so many other surprises

one starting tomorrow is our new place to live!
Can't wait to get it decorated to show all of you!
Also, trips to NYC and Dominican Republic 
As well as the looming decisions we have before us in our little family!

Yay 2013, we are glad you are here

WHY!?

Why is it that as I am getting ready to see all these beautiful things
 I get crazy TRAVEL ANXIETY 
not sleeping, clenching my jaw (sorry dad) and just crying all the time!?
 I get nervous about the flight, our housing, my clothes, being pregnant while there, making it home for Christmas. 
Why can't I just sit back and look forward to this anyone else have this problem- or am I totally nuts!?

My first snowman

We had a little snow storm out in Provo a few weeks ago-
 and I finally made my first snowman! 
As you can tell I was quite excited 
and we decided to get creative
 with the supplies we had in the house.

Questions Answered

Since announcing the baby's arrival many of you have asked questions... so here are some answers

When are you due?
Middle of May... one appointment it was May 22 and the second was May 16th

What are you having?
Not sure yet
maybe this Friday we will find out

Are you wearing pregnancy clothes?
jeans with elastic on them... what do you think

Are you going to keep working after the baby?
I am! Still trying to figure out how, but we are. 
I have heard it all from people on this answer...
I am doing that is best for me and my family 

How have you been feeling?
I have not thrown up too much... whew
I have been tired a lot and have had really bad headaches
however... that being said... it's much easier to go through it knowing it is for a reason

Was it a surprise? (I get this a lot you nosey people:))
Actually I say it's a blessing
In July my thyroid dr said it would take us "a few years" to have kids
hypothyroidism means you have low hormone levels
well uh... that was not a good thing to say
it took about 6 weeks after that
I truly feel this is a blessing, since who knows how my thyroid issues will affect future pregnancies

Babymoon?
Yes! We head to Europe on Dec 12 and also the Dominican Republic in February

Names?
Yup- you can ask me in person since it changes quite often
I am just sad T doesn't like the name Norah (sadface)

We are very excited and feel very blessed. 
I truly hesitated this and even announcing our little "shnug" (as T calls it)
there are so many things that can go wrong
and our heart truly goes out to so many of our friends and family who are having a hard time getting pregnant. So on that note- I probably won't post a ton of belly pics on here etc.
If you would like any of that crazy stuff (it still freaks me out to look down)
you can follow me on instagram at laolsen

Kate Spade. Need I say more?

So I was INNOCENTLY browsing the internet and all of a sudden this ad
which is usually annoying
popped up on my screen
It said  Kate Spade... up to 75% off
so I HAD to click

Disclaimer: This year I have been AWESOME with black friday- we bought three movies for $6
Usually I am at Banana Republic and athropologie waiting to buy stuff for my *small* wardrobe.

I digress

Did you know Kate Spade has diaper bags!?
So chose your favorite and call/ text/facebook T to convince him

kate spade nylon maryanne baby bag 

collins ave serena baby bag

logan square serena baby bag

signature spade quilted baby bon shopper bag


So I know- they are expensive but I have to carry it everyday and it needs to be functional... and fabulous:)
