Blog Name Change!

Well Friends! It’s finally happening! Alex and I are going to be parents!!!  We are expecting our little one to arrive around February 19! We could not be more excited to start the rewarding but scary road to parenthood.

So far the pregnancy has been great! Besides the normal tiredness and slight discomforts, I have been feeling very good and so far have avoided the dreaded morning sickness. Alex has been a wonderful and helpful husband! He is always trying to make sure I am as comfortable and even goes on late night food runs with me. I am 14 ½ weeks so we just have to wait a few more weeks to find out what the gender is.

And our lucky little baby will have lots of cousins to play with! My sister Chelsea will be having a baby in November and our niece Brooke will be a year in April, which means that on the Mecham side there will be 3 grandchildren within a year! And to add to the excitement, our sister in law Sveta is expecting as well and is due exactly one month before we are! Babies all around!!

Again, we couldn’t be more excited to start our little family! We feel so lucky to be blessed with children and a healthy pregnancy so far. The Lord is truly looking out for us and sharing His love, we are grateful for His watch and care over us. We’ll keep you posted and post pictures as my belly gets bigger (which I feel is everyday). We love you all and wish you a great start to a new school year! 

Baby at 11 weeks! Baby is now almost the size of a softball!! 

Is it really August??

Dear friends and family!

Is it really August already?? Where has time gone?? This summer has been an amazing one! Not much has changed since our last post, but I guess that ultimately means that Alex and I are still loving life and each other! This week brings an end to a few things, my internship will wrap up this week and then just one more week of swim lessons until I get my well deserved week vacation  :) Alex finishes his summer classes this week, 2 history classes wasn’t exactly the most favorite way to spend the summer, but it will allow him to graduate on time! We are still working on medical school applications, for those who are not familiar with medical school, it is an extremely long process. It could be next spring before we actually know if and where we will be going.

This summer has been filled with fun outings to the park, family reunions, barbeques, and even a rubber ducky race down the BYU campus stream! (pictures below). One of the most exciting things that happened recently is that my parents and little sister moved to Singapore last week. They will be there for 2 years on a work assignment. We got the chance to talk to them yesterday and they are already adjusting. It will be a really awesome adventure, and even though we will miss them a lot, we are grateful for technology that keeps us close together! We look forward to visiting them over in Singapore in the near future!

We are looking forward to another family reunion and a much needed trip to Vancouver to see Alex’s family to finish off our summer! I am anxious to start my last semester in college and for Alex to get his last year (of undergraduate) underway! We’ll write again when we have more exciting things going on, I realize this post wasn’t the most interesting but it’s our life and we love it!
