Mission Accomplished!!! :)

Josh got accepted to Dental School!!!!!! Mission accomplished and we are beyond excited. Josh applied to a bunch of schools & got a interview last Friday to USN (College of Southern Nevada-they are opening up a new school in South Jordan). He was beyond prepared for his interview & rocked it. He got a call the next Thursday from the admissions committee & they offered him a spot for their Fall 2011 Inaugural Class.

We are so excited especially because we get to stay here in Utah. It would have been a good experience to go out of state, but i'd rather be close to family with the new baby on the way. I am so proud of Josh, he knew what he wanted and went for it full force. So....in 4 years we'll have a dentist in the family :)

House Projects

I love house projects, makes me feel accomplished once their done. We had a kitchen table that was pretty scuffed up and looking worn. Instead of trying to find a new one we decided to fix it up. Josh & I sanded all of the painted parts down (table legs & chairs) and then painted them a dark red to match our kitchen. It was a process but we are very satisfied with the ending product. What can I say, we're the next Mr. & Mrs. Martha Stewart....Here is how it turned out:

I also got my modge podge itch and completed the last item for baby's room. I bought & painted a shelf to match the colors in his room-then I modge podged his name. I guess if you didn't know what name we had decided on previously, the cat is now out of the bag :)

So this week in the Sharp household my husband turned from a sweet man to a serial killer ;) joking, joking. He is still sexy.

Okay, so Josh heard about donations Bic was giving for everyone that shaved their head (bic4good.com). If you send in a picture of your head shaved they are donating $40 to Make A Wish Foundation, if you upload a video then they will donate $400. So Josh being Josh, he bic'd his head. Luckily he has a nice round noggin so he doesn't look bad.

But check it out....go donate!

29 Weeks

Here is the 29 week belly bump pic. I have to say, I feel a lot bigger than I look. I also have sympathy for those women with not a lot of torso room. I have a lot and am so thankful for that right now. I can't wait for our little man to come....its getting closer (May 10th) woo hoo! We have been getting all our supplies and getting more and more anxious to meet him!

Stape Time

This weekend we got to go to dinner with the whole Stapley clan. The Arizona-dwellers came into town for the annual ski trip (we didn't go-i'm pregs & Josh worked). It was fun and good as always to see everyone.

P.S. I want to give a shout out to my Uncle D....he is an avid reader of our blog :) haha. Also, i'm not sure why my dad decided to stuff his napkin in his nose for these pictures below....so just feel free to disregard that.

Super Bowl 2011

Super bowl sunday....always a good time at the Stapley House.

We attended the now annual party-had nummy food, visited with fam, and had a good time watching the game.

I also am the worse decision maker ever I think. Therefore, I had an anonymous poll that I made my family take on our baby name options. Helped a lot actually, now the question is how many times will I change my mind before the little guy comes? haha. Who knows....at least ten times probably.

The Joys of Pregnancy

Clearly, i've never been pregs before and I wanted to share with you all of the joys (or not so joyful things) i've experience, and begun to experience. I must say its been a ride, its something new almost everyday, most of them make me laugh. For all my buds that haven't been prego yet, here are some things you get to look forward to.....:)

-Losing about 75% of your wardrobe. Or wearing your normal clothes and having your shirts be too short in the front.....or doing the 'elastic band' trick with your jeans. Good times.

-Needing a nap every afternoon, whether you have time or not.

-Getting out of breath easily....as in walking up half a flight of stairs.

-Frequent....and I mean FREQUENT bathroom breaks. We're talking 10 minutes after I lie down to bed or not ever making it through a work out at the gym without a potty break. People say this comes and goes, or just happens in the 3rd trimester. Nope, I've enjoyed this the whole time!

-Enduring the stares of people for a few weeks or months, deciding if you look fat or pregnant. Luckily I just got out of this stage....and now look pregnant. Phew.

-Being a cry baby. We're talking i'm on the treadmill at the gym watching Oprah....and I tear up, counting to 10 multiple times so that I don't really start crying. This has happened more than once. I'd say its a 50/50 chance of me crying while watching Oprah these days.

-Not fitting through small spaces. Example: people were working on a big printer/scanner in a hall at work. They moved so I could get through, nope, still couldn't fit. They laughed and moved the printer for me. Haha, this is probably not only due to my belly, but also my Stapley bubble butt i've been so lucky to have. Now i've got bumps on both sides....no tight spaces for me. Thanks pops :)

-Cravings. Now I haven't really had the 'typical' pregnancy cravings. The only thing I crave sometimes are oranges. Other than that, I want the foods that i've always had cravings for because their 'off limits'....girls, you feel me here....fries, chips, fried foods in general, chocolate. The usual.

-And one of the best pregnancy experiences, feeling my baby move.....all the time. It's awesome.
