My first Blog....

I'm sitting here at work bored like always (because I work at a desk now) and I decided I would start a blog. This is a blog for Matthew and for our son Holden who will make his debut in about 10 weeks. I was never really into the whole blogging thing but I can see the value in it especially since I am so bored half the time while I sit at work and my mind is always racing. So here we go, day one of Rachel the blogger...? weird.

Me: to sum myself up in one paragraph...go

I am a 22 year old 29 week pregnant girl married to a hot college student who loves to write. I love Jesus. I pride myself in my soccer playing skills and secretly wish I still played or at least finished playing in college. I hate doing the dishes and folding laundry but I love....vacuuming?(or at least how the carpet looks when its done) I love spaghetti and In n Out animal fries. I want to go to Greece someday with Matt, mostly inspired by The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. In my spare time I like to play with my puppies Lilly and Porkchop and sit on the couch watching HGTV wishing I had more money to decorate our house. I love snowboarding and if I could quit my job to practice and go into the Olympics for Snowboard Cross I totally would. I wish I was a better cook and I wish I could stay organized. I cant wait for my son to arrive so Matt and I can snuggle him. Oh yea...I'm a cop and I have a few guns but someday I will be a nurse hopefully at a nursing home.

Baby Blogish:

I am 29 weeks pregnant and am ready to get out of this desk job. I am super happy that I am safe here and my lil man can be safe inside me but really I feel like this is not the job I signed up for. This has been a fairly easy pregnancy (compared to all my others;) and I feel very lucky so far. No sickness in the beginning, I threw up only one time and it was from a headache. No severe backaches yet fingers crossed. I have been able to work out a little bit 4-5 times a week and walk almost every night with Matt. We have picked out the name Holden Blaine and I cant imagine it changing because we love it. Lil H has been kicking me for the past two weeks constantly. Its always nice to feel him but he has been making my right side sore because he is always sticking a body part out in the same spot. I was thinking yesterday that I will be sad when we aren't joined together anymore and other people want to take him from me. I feel like we have been hanging out for the past 7 months and no one else can take him away. On the other hand I am SO excited for his daddy to get to spend time with him. I almost cry every time he kicks for him now so I cant imagine when he gets to hold and love on him!

Holden,

We have your nursery all done and are anxiously awaiting your arrival! Your mom and Dad love you so much and feel your movements every moment we can. We cant wait to share our lives and love with you as soon as you get here. Keep cooking for a few more months and we will snuggle you soon. In the meantime we are getting ready for you and we cant wait.
