Updates... 

Baby--Currently, I am fourteen weeks! :)  I pointed out to Cade, the other day, "I'm three months pregnant!"  Followed by, "....I feel like I've been three months pregnant forever!"
That could be because I have a habit of counting ahead, like..: "In April I'll be three months along, which is how far along Vanessa Minnillo must be right now" Or..: "In two weeks I'll be three months along....which is how far along Vanessa Minnillo was when Nick announced it on 'Live with Kelly'".  Haha, something ridiculous like that. 
Cade reminded me though that I knew quite right away that I was pregnant.  And that is true.  I don't think time can fly by when you've googled something along the lines of, "Can you know if you are pregnant after three days?"  It's been a pretty long fourteen weeks :) but exciting and..scary!  Scary because I don't feel like just six more months is long enough to prepare for a baby!  It's happening though and that's exciting!  I think my biggest baby related stress has been naming "it".  How does anyone make a decision so quick?  I've always loved "weird" names..  Always thought I had a good few unique names picked out.  ..Now that I actually am pregnant, none of them are good enough.  This subject just might stress me out all the way to delivery.  Hopefully not though!  I am liking a certain name right now but it's not at all different or uncommon. 
We've experimented a little bit with gender predictions, just for the fun of it!  Chinese Gender Calendar says boy, necklace trick says boy, Intelligender says boy, I said boy (and I'll stick by that guess, but I do feel unsure in my guess quite often), Cade and pretty much everyone else who has made a guess says girl.  SO, we'll just have to wait and see.  Around 6 more weeks until we can find out!
I had my first baby related...um nightmare, last night.  I went to nurse my newborn, picked her up to find that she had teeth like a two year old.  And she was chomping those teeth like a piranha (I've got to stop watching "River Monsters".)  I think the stress of trying to figure out how I was going to nurse that child was too much for me and the dream ended there.  Soo silly.

House Hunting--Has been sad.  We found a house we REALLY liked and then were disappointed when we realized:
 1. We weren't ready to put down any kind of offers
and
2. The house was actually already pending.
Then we were happy to find out the house was no longer pending....but still so disappointed that we could not put an offer down yet.  We went and looked at it anyways...and now we have zero interest.  The pictures were very, not deceiving, but not telling.  Actually seeing the inside showed that there was a lot more work than we thought.  So now, anyone can have it, it's ok, we won't be disappointed.

Credit Cards--Almost paid off!  YES!  I highly recommend Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover if you are looking to do the same.  We cut up our credit cards in January.  I'm so glad we did.  We had no idea that moving back to Boise would be such a stressful time for us financially, that things wouldn't work out quite how we thought they would, and I realize now that if we hadn't cut up our credit cards back in January and still had them, we would have accumulated quite a bit more debt the past couple of months.  So relieved we made that decision, haven't had the option of credit lately and have been able to pay off most of our debt instead of adding to it.

The dog-- (As if you care) is getting spayed today!  Right now.  It only took us a year and a half & two tax returns to finally make it happen.  Booo...no baby chihuahua puppies for me.  I'll get over it. :)
