Baby Zackrison!

We are expecting a baby!! We still can't believe it, but we are both beyond excited!

I am about 14 weeks along and am due May 6th.

I have been sooooooooooooooooo sick. And I hate it. But the sickness is starting to go away.. Thankfully.

Romney has been such a patient and amazing husband. He gets me whatever I need.

Still doesn't seem real.

Sick of people asking dumb and personal questions.

When people ask what we're hoping for.. We are hoping for a baby, okay?!

My boss thought Mormons couldn't use birth control.. Super funny.

All of my close friends thought I was lying to them when I told them.

No I will not be posting pictures of my growing belly.

Excited that my sister-in-law and I are due so close together!  (5 weeks)

Not looking forward to maternity clothes.

And that's that! Pretty exciting!

And no I'm not lying... This is for real.

Fall!

Its pretty safe to say that everyone loves Fall. Definitely my favorite time of year. And definitely my Dad's favorite time of year. He is pretty jealous we are living in North Carolina during this season. I wish he could come out and visit and how beautiful its going to be! Most of the leaves out here are still green! Its so weird. I guess cause its so much warmer in the South that the leaves change later in the year. I am trying to be patient! I have started wearing boots and long sleeve shirts but some days its still too hot to wear it. I am ready for cooler weather! Hopefully now that its November it will finally feel more like fall.

All Summer Romney and I were preparing for him to deploy this fall. He was an alternate and its pretty much unheard for an alternate not to deploy. We did have a couple scares. He text me one day while I was babysitting and said "lets go out to dinner tonight" (This was a Wednesday and we usually only go out on the weekends) So I was like okay, where? And he wanted to dress up and go somewhere nice. So basically Olive Garden was our only option. (We get fancy in Goldsboro!) I thought (knew) he was up to something... When I got home I asked him if he was getting deployed and if thats the reason he wanted to be "fancy" but lately Romney ALWAYS wants to dress up and go somewhere nice. (But since we are limited on nice restaurants he is basically over dressed all the time. Better to be overdressed than under dressed, right?) He is quite into fashion lately. (I love it!) He seriously cracks me up with it. (If he could wear a suit or a shirt and tie everyday, he would) Anyway, we go to dinner (at Olive Garden) and he is just being extra lovey dovey that night and I seriously asked him like 8 times if he was getting deployed and he just kept saying no. The next day he comes home from work and said "I took you to dinner last night because I thought I was getting deployed... but I'm not!" I knew it! I knew he was up to no good. He wasn't 100% sure that he was leaving so he didn't say anything until the next day. Rude, I know. But I'm pretty sure he thought he was leaving like 3 times and didn't say anything to me. So long story short.. he is not deployed! We are both pretty happy about it. But I did want to get some "deployment" pictures done just in case he did deploy. My friend Jessica did them and she did an amazing job! Here are some of them:








It was kinda rainy that day (hence the Umbrella and my non-straight hair) But I thought the pictures turned out really good! I love all the green out here. They will be fun to have! (Thanks Jess!)
