This, That, & a Baby.

It's November..... Wow. I love it.
-I've been thinking a lot about how blessed I am and what I have to be Thankful for.  The list sure is long.  I love that we have a holiday devoted to thinking about all that we have be given.
-Yesterday I wore shorts and flip-flops.... It was a bit like a dream, a real good dream. I am hoping that this dream goes for a few more weeks.  It won't, but a girl can dream right?
-Pretty excited about our plans for Thanksgiving. Minnesota here we come.  Who wouldn't want to be at the Mall of America on Black Friday?
-The Christmas holiday should be a good one as well.  Lots of time in Utah, lots of family time....  plus I get to go to San Diego to hang out with a couple of my favorite ladies for a few days.
-I love the new season of The Biggest Loser. Ada is my fave. I love what it teaches and their real world approach to weight loss and getting healthy.  I love that it shows how hard you have to work but at the same time you can get results.  Dream job = Dietitian/Trainer on that show. Connections anyone?
-Adam has begun his job search for when he finishes school in May.  He is looking at companies all over the United States.  It's an exciting nerve-racking feeling to not know where we will be moving to in 6 months. Where oh where???
-Speaking about being excited/nervous about something....
Yep- for all you who haven't heard. We are having a baby! I am 18 weeks along and April 12th is the big day. Stay tuned for gender news (hopefully within in the next week or two).  So so excited.

Thanks Lisa! I have been feeling great... and I have tried to encourage Adam back to St. G, but unless a miracle happens I don't think it will happen.

I am SO excited for you guys!! I can't wait to hear the verdict on the gender, oh Marci, you are going to be the best mom! Remember when we did dinner group and you made such fun halloween foods? Your kids will love you:) Oh, and if you can hold that baby in 4 days after the due date, it will be born on my birthday, sound good? good! Love you.

Marci Wittwer Butterfield said...

Shayla.... that would be the greatest if we lived by you and could hang out. We would love that.

T-ya that would be awesome if it was born on your birthday, except I am pretty sure that at that point I will be ready for the little one to come on out. :)

Whitney Blake said...

Congrats Congrats!! So excited for you and Adam! I can't wait to find out the gender.(: You are going to be the best baby ever!!

I had a hunch you were pregnant, but I didn't want to be one of those people that ask and persuade, just in case you weren't.
CONGRATS!!!!
I hope you are feeling well and that baby is growing healthy.
And because everyone is telling you to move near them... I might as well try too- Come move to Hawaii! (you can wear shorts and flip-flops every day)
and the baby and Makana can be surfing buddies.
My guess is it will be a boy.

Jessica said...

Congrats! That is awesome! Fun adventure ahead for you guys. :0)

Yea for baby Butterfield!

Laurita said...

First of all, cute blog layout. Secondly, I love Ada too. She is my favorite. Especially since this season BL is ridiculoso dramatic. Sheesh people. Third of all: Aah! So excited for baby, for graduation, for mystery new city, and for holidays! What excitingness! CONGRATS! I hope you are feeling well! Oh goodness will you be moving right after you have your new baby? Move to Utah and I will come help. :)

Congrats again! Yahoo!

Congratulations! We are so excited for you! Hope you are feeling good. We are going to have babies really close-ours is due April 7th. We get to find out the gender next week! What about you guys-do you want to find out or have a surprise??

Marci Wittwer Butterfield said...

She... I am all for moving to Hawaii. I would love to have a little wanna-be hawaiian surfer dude.

Laura... Yes things are going to be quite crazy around here come June. I am sure that I will need all the help I can get. Doubt that we will be back in Utah but I don't doubt that you would be a ton of help, even though you would have a two month old of your own.

Amy... So excited that we are due right by each other. We find out the gender in a week. No secrets for me.

Kim said...

Channa said...

I wish there was a "like" button for this post. We are so excited for you! And I can't believe you are going to the Mall of America for Thanksgiving. I can't think of anything better. :) I'm still working on Bryce for there, or maybe Chicago.
