What's New??

So pretty much right now my life revolves around MY unborn little GIRL who will be here at the end of August or probably beggining of September since she's measuring a little smaller. I think about her all day long! We got her bedding already and have been working on setting up her room. We are half way done. Now we gotta paint and do all that fun stuff. I have about a million ideas of things I want to do for her but Nog thinks I should probably slow down since we still have 4 and half more months till she's here, and that she won't even be in her own room for a couple months after that. But, I can't help it.

We've also been doing alot of work to our house. We added on a back porch and just got brand new carpet. I LOVE them both. It feels like a whole new house. We ripped out all the spanish tile in the Arizona room so we could put down carpet and make it a PLAY room instead. Nog is seriously loving it. He's already carried me in there more than once setting me on the ground and tells me how this is now his absolute favorite room in the house, and how he never wants to put any furniture or anything else in there so it can be just a hangout room / wrestling room. He has SO many plans for this room. He loves to go in there open both french doors and look out back at the back porch we built. (With so much of the families help) They are amazing.

Also I am OBSESSED with this book I just finished reading, today in fact. It's wonderful it's about a boy who almost dies and goes to heaven and comes back to tell about it. (he was 4 years old when it happened) It's the best book ever! It's called "Heaven is for real" by Todd Burpo. Read it, it's incredible! But don't try getting it at the library I tried that and I was going to be the 56th person on the wait list. So pretty much sometime in the next year or so I could finally read it, but anyway. What else is new?

Jay, Mom, Heather, Brad and the kids were all here this last week and it was so fun having them all here! Jay came down 2 weeks earlier and stayed the full 2 weeks at our house it was the best! I think we heard about 100 times him saying, Annie what if I always laughed like this? And now imagine the LOUDEST most obnoxious sound a human can make. hahahaha it was really funny and I think I almost went deaf a couple of times . He kept telling me I have moms senstive ears. Everyone came down because Jay went through the temple. He is leaving on a mission in 2 months and is so excited! He would randomly say "I wanna be in Brazil right now." I'm going to miss him like crazy. He has the funnest personality ever. If I'm ever in a bad mood and I see Jay, within minutes I'm cheered right up. He will make a great missionary.

Mom stayed with us too!! They both had to sleep on a matress on the floor cause we had to clear out the room for the carpet I bet they loved that. :) We had such a great time with them all here and next month Me and Nog will be up there staying with MOM! for Jay's farewell. And Heather will have her baby (I'm already planning on it)

So much to look forward to!

Here are picture of all our projects.

First is Kollins little hat Mama Pearce got for her, it's my favorite.

AUGUST 31, 2011

Many and probably all of you already know who read my blog. But.... on Christmas Day Nog and I found out I am Pregnant!!! Seriously! Who finds out that kind of news on Christmas DAY? It was the BEST Christmas ever! I woke up that morning went straight to the bathroom and took a test. I had just taken a Pregnancy test 3 days earlier and it was negative so my hopes weren't very high at all. In fact I was convincing myself I wasn't so that when it came out negative I wouldn't be sad on Christmas. But the thought of finding out on Christmas Day just sounded so great I had to take one anyways. So I pulled out my handy dollar store test, and then set it on the ground while I washed my face and started getting ready for the day. Nog was still asleep which was my plan all along, so I was being really quiet. Then I picked it back up 10 minutes later and could see a tiny light light pink line, I didn’t know if it was real or my eyes playing a trick on me so I starred at it for probably 5 minutes. I still didn't believe it though because after all it was a dollar store test so I said a prayer. I said "If this is not for real make this line go away cause I don't want to get excited then be let down." (As this dollar store test has fooled me before)" I want a baby SOOOOO BAD! So just to be 100% sure I drank like a gallon of water so I could take another test, but this one was a digital test that pops up the word PREGNANT or NOT PREGNANT (I’ve been saving this one). I drank so much water, I felt sick but I wanted to take the test before heading over to my families for breakfast and gift exchanges. So, I hid the pregnancy test from Nog so if it really was for real I could show him the digital one. We went out into the family room and opened our presents to each other, and when we were all done I told him I had to go to the bathroom. I took the test waiting the LONG 30seconds for the timer to stop turning and to pop the word…. and it did! PREGNANT! I hurried and put it in a bag with tissue paper and ran out to Nog telling him I forgot to give him a present. He was really curious though because I am the type of person, that the second I get a present for someone I wrap it up and stick it under the tree within 5 minutes of walking in the house. What can I say, I love Christmas. But of course he still took it and opened it. He pulled out the test (don't worry it has a cap over the gross part). It was so amazing and I recorded the whole thing :) Who could ask for a better Christmas present?! .... We wrapped it back up and brought it over to my families for the secone present for our white elephant gift exchange, then to the Pearce side later on that day :) It was a wonderful day. Nog had been recording when Rae opened the Victoria Secret bag I wrapped it in :) and the family saw. Watching this made me cry. I am sooooooo excited to be a MOM. I cannot wait for August 31st when I get to meet my precious little baby.

Side Note

Interesting Fact: I decided to grow out my natural hair color it will be hard but I'm gunna do it! Who believes in me? :) But I better still put in some highlights to covering up those grays! I am 22 years old with gray hair?!. Who has gray that young, Weirdo.

Happy Day

Here I am sitting on the couch waiting for Nogs to get home from work. I'm eating a chocolate donut and drinking chocolate milk (Ovaltine) to be exact. A friend from work asked if I wrote on my blog yet about Hawaii, and then I remembered I haven’t written on here in forever! Probably the longest I've ever gone. Sooo I guess for an update I will start by saying, this last weekend I got to spend an ENTIRE weekend with my Mama! She stayed at our house and I loved every minute of it! She came down for Kyler’s Baptism which was by the way amazing. Where did that girl come from, seriously! We went grocery shopping where I was introduced to this splendid Ovaltine, we watched How to Train your Dragon. (I think I've seen it like 10 times now) It's Nogals Favorite! Rae, Mom, and I continued my song that I made up for Nog! It's the same back ground music to an episode on the Simpsons that I've never seen before (correction, "The Simpsons Movie") but saw on a commercial one time I think it was with Jay because we watched it over and over. We thought it was so funny so we kept rewinding and listening to it. And from then on I've had it memorized. This is my original that I sing to him about 5 times daily (literally)
Nogal Bear,
Nogal Bear,
Does whatever a Nogal Bear does.
(Repeated over again)
The original words on The Simpsons are...
Spider Pig,
Spider Pig,
Does whatever a Spider Pig does.
But... what I didn't know was that the song continued (we found that our by looking it up on youtube) SO we sang this song to him about 20 times that night and each night after
Song Continues....
Can he swim from a web?

No he can't cause he's a Bear.
LOOK OUT he is a Nogal Bear.
After so many times of this sweet duet Nog would walk out of the room he got so annoyed it was hilarious. Now he says he's going to punch me every time I try singing that song to him. (But I still do it when I'm not in his reach)

-those two chaps are so great!-
Karol and I got her some fancy new scrubs for her new job :). She was concerned for the "girly bow tie" on the side. But I thought it looked quite dainty if you ask me, that was fun! And of course Filibee's immediately after she got here. It is her all time Fav.

Kyler, Mara, Gav, and Oaki, spend the night 2 nights in the row they were thrilled. In each of their prayers they said "thank you that we can spend the night at Aunt Annie's and Uncle Nog's 2 night in a row"

soo cute!
I sure do love my sweet ol Ma.

Also, we just got back from Hawaii last Tuesday we went to celebrate our 1 year Anniversary. It was a really great trip. We spend some time with some friends, Sherry & KC, Alex and Katherine, Yo & Michelle, it was great. Here are some pictures of it.
