The Rubber Band Trick

So today I'm 16 weeks prego. Well, last Friday I wore jeans to work and by 10 o'clock I couldn't stand to have my pants buttoned anymore!! A girl I work with suggested I just use a rubberband to keep my pants up. I didn't realize how depressed I would feel when I wouldn't be able to wear my normal jeans anymore! So I decided it was probably time to buy some maternity clothes. :( My mom and I went shopping all day on Saturday and I must have tried on 50 pairs of maternity jeans. Guess what? They were all too short! So, in other words, I still have no maternity jeans and I'm going to have to keep using the rubber band trick until I can find some. If there are any of you that have freakishly long legs (because apparently I do!!) if you could please help me out! I need to know where I can find LONG maternity jeans!! Thanks! I will try and convince Mike to take some pics so you can all see my little pooch! :)

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone is having a great 2009 so far. The past few weeks have been so crazy in the Holst family! Between Christmas and all the birthdays in the family, I haven't had any time to update my blog. Mike and I had a great Christmas this year. It all started when we went to chop down our Christmas tree up in Kelly's Canyon. Believe it or not, this was the first year I have ever gone to cut down a tree!

We are so grateful we are able to see both of our families during the Holidays. We had tons of fun celebrating birthdays, having prime rib dinner on Christmas Eve with Mike's family, and spending Christmas afternoon/night with my family. We also decided that Christmas morning isn't that exciting when it's just the two of us. So...we are also very excited that this will be the last Christmas just the two of us! For those of you who don't know, Mike and I are going to have a baby!!! We are so very excited. I'm about 13 weeks along right now, which means we are expecting our little bundle of joy to arrive somewhere around July the 13th. Neither of us really have any preference on whether it's a boy or a girl but judging by the toy Mike recently purchased.....I think he's secretly hoping for a little boy.

Yes, that's right. This little beauty is sitting in my garage right now! I tried to convince Mike to at least wait until we found out the sex of the baby, but Bill's gave him such a good deal he couldn't refuse! haha. I'm sure that either way, our baby will learn to love motorcycles just like their Dad!

We are so excited for 2009 and want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!!
