Ch ch ch CHANGES

November? Really? That was the last time I blogged. I'm pathetic, I'll admit that. Lots has changed since way back in Novemeber. 

First is the ever so obvious.  We are expecting Baby Rothey #1, in November actually. We found out in March.  We had a great time telling everyone too.  My SIL, Whitney, who is an incredible artist, drew up this great picture Collin came up with in his creative mind. It was pretty fantastic.  We also had some funny shirts made up by Collins aunt Jenice who owns a screen printing shop in Ogden. They were perfect for our Rothey Family Easter Egg hunt.

We find out next month whether we'll be having a boy or a girl.  We are so excited to find out.  We've had a few people ask us if we want to find out at 20 weeks or at delivery.  If you know me, you know that I HATE surprises. Hate them. So, we'll let the doc fill us in on the details.  Although, we do have the control to wait until 20 weeks. (I'm sure if there were a nicer mall with the ultrasounds a bit closer, this may be different.) So, we'll be finding out baby's gender around my birthday and Father's Day.  Perfect gift, if you ask me.

Pregnancy has been pretty great so far.  I didn't ever get super nauseous or have anything crazy happen to me.  I consider myself pretty lucky, because I know lots of people that are don't have it so easy.  I have apparently been tired, though. According to some, I look incredibly tired. With work, and what's going on inside of me, I'm sure I look less presentable than usual. Maybe the pregnancy "glow" equates to looking tired. Maybe it goes away.  I guess we shall see.  I'm just grateful to be healthy.  My new Dr. here in Heber was almost surprised at how healthy and great my test results have been.  Can't argue with that.

Aside from Baby Rothey, we also moved from Logan to Heber.  We came to absolutely adore Logan, our ward, and the people there.  But, since Collin graduated from USU in December (WAHOO!!), we knew he'd be job-hunting in the Salt Lake area.  My boss came to me, and discussed the option of coming to Heber.  Being 2 hours away from Logan, it'd require a relocation. We (Collin) packed up all of our things, cleaned our beloved condo, and moved to a new apt in Heber.  It's such a beautiful area, and it's great to be closer to friends and the city.  Since moving here, Collin has continued the job-hunt and has applied at a million places anywhere from SLC to Park City to Utah County.  A few things look promising, but no offers just yet.  We just keep praying for an offer! If anyone has any suggestions or connections, let us know. We've come to realize that networking is essential with the job search.

And of course, Happy Mothers Day to my beautiful, incredible Mom.  You're the best. I love you!
