For you Jen!

I will post more later!

What's in a name?

So we thought it would take longer to name our little girl, but it came about so naturally. Before we found out she was a girl we had a list of about 10-15 names that we liked, but one in particular has been at the top of our list even before I knew I was pregnant. We aren't announcing it on Facebook yet because everyone has an opinion, so I thought my blog would be a nice way to spread our excitement since there are only like 5 people who read it!:) So here it goes..... our daughter will be named Stella Kate Sandler (Stella means Star) and we cannot wait to meet her!

It's a girl!

Yesterday was an emotional roller coaster and will go down as one of the best days of my life. We had our 20 week ultrasound and found out that baby Sandler is a girl! She will be the first grand baby on Morgan's side of the family and the first granddaughter on my side of the family. So basically, she is going to be the most spoiled child on the face of the earth.

We went in at 8:15 AM and I could barely sleep the night before. I kept having crazy dreams about finding out. We didn't care what the baby was, but I knew it was a girl. It was a weird feeling to be that certain about something. Morgan thought it was a boy, but deep down was hoping for a little girl. I am so neurotic that I think the ultrasound technician was wrong and they will be yelling "it's a boy" as soon as the baby comes out. Morgan said he knew it was a girl before she even announced it. The technician seemed extremely confident in her declaration so I will take her word for it oh and there were no testicles or penis! So here she is, our little princess. We have picked out the name already, but are not ready to announce. We struggled with a few but I kept wanting to refer to her as one in particular so that is the one :)



Giving the finger! She's her mother's daughter :)

Doctor's appointment

We just got back from my doctor's appointment and we heard the babies heartbeat for the first time. We have seen the baby on ultrasound multiple times, but the doctor has never been able to catch the heartbeat. It was really amazing. We also received the results to our genetics test and all four tests came back negative; we were both relieved. We always said we would make any situation work, but a healthy baby is good. We find out Monday what we are having and I have never been so excited for a Monday in my life! We will keep everyone posted :) BLUE OR PINK???????

19 Weeks!

I am 19 weeks today! We have a doctor's appointment and on Monday we will hopefully find out what baby Sandler is so we can stop calling it, it!

It's the little things...

I truly do not enjoy my job and my New Years resolution is to not be so stressed out at work. My job seems ideal from the outside looking in; I get to work from home, I don't have to drive anywhere, I can stay in my jammies all day. All of this is true, but I also make my own schedule(not a good thing for someone who is OCD), I sometimes need to be on computer at 6:00 AM and my job is very detail oriented, oh and I talk about cars all day! I am super hard on myself and don't do well in an unstructured environment; it makes me more tense and stressed out. I also don't like the lack of human interaction during the day, I am an extrovert and am not used to being by myself all the time. I think I have gotten better at not being so stressed out and I have relied heavily on Morgan and the little things in my day to day that make me happy. Here are a few that have made me happy as of late :)


It actually makes me happy to watch my belly grow :)


Morgan and I found this little record store within walking distance of our house.





Knowing I have Morgan in my life everyday makes me feel secure and soooo happy. I love him...


I purchased this record player with my Christmas money! Thanks mom and dad. Morgan and I have been listening to records every night.



I have wanted a jewelry stand like this for a while; it keeps me very organized and like organization.



I bought a shower curtain, I'm telling you, it really is the little things!



I was sleeping terribly for a couple of days until I bought this! I'm in love!


The best slippers I have ever owned!
