I don't really like drawing attention to myself so this blog for the sake of my family, the few people who actually read my blog on the rare occasion that I write something- and because I feel like if you know me well enough to read my blog then you won't mind if I don't use facebook as my avenue for news.
Kid Mort is coming June 2012. Yup, you read that right. Aaron and I are gonna have a little one. woo woo! Oh, and I'm feeling great. First trimesters are not something I am fond of so I'm very grateful to finally be done with the worst of it. This year has been a roller coaster for Aaron and I. We started off the year by announcing our first pregnancy, only to be disappointed with a miscarriage and all the baggage that comes with it. I am truly grateful for this pregnancy and trying my hardest to quell the paranoid pessimist that the miscarriage has created in me. The good thing is that my Dr. says everything is looking good and that baby is on target with the "due date". Hallelujah.
Anyway, on a not really but kind of related topic- and I hope no one is offended by me saying this, but I loathe cutesy ways of saying "pregnant". Let me give you a few examples: Prego, Preggers, Pregs, Preggie, Bumpies, Ego Preggo, Bun in the Oven, etc. My vexation at cutesy words also extends to words like Hubby, Hubs, Presh, Fav, Gorg, and Adorb. Do these not bother anyone else? I mean, I realize I am easily irritated by really insignificant things but I just I feel like it's like a little kid calling a blanket "blankie", only it's adults referring to someone having a baby- and it's not cute anymore. But just so I'm not burning any bridges with anyone- if you do use these words I probably won't care, but I promise you I will never use any of them unless in jest. In other words- I am so much better than all of you cutesy word users! haha just kidding. One thing is for sure; it will be a difficult adjustment for me to let go of all the little things I love to be annoyed by during this pregnancy. Unwanted advice, patronizing, coddling, and personal space invasions are but a few I'm looking forward to.
Alright I'm done with my idiotic ranting and I want to thank all my friends and family who actually read my silliness and have taken part in my joy of having the privilege of creating a new life. I am thrilled for this new adventure and after almost three years of partying and honeymooning, Aaron and I are feeling ready for the new addition to the Mortensen family.
In other news, Aaron and I bought a house and are moving in this week. I LOVE it. sooooooo... be jealous! Or you could come visit Aaron and I and make good use of our guest bedroom:)

So exciting!! Congratulations!
I am the same way. Prego, hubby, and fab are the three that bother me the most. Good to know I'm not the only one annoyed by the "cool" new English language.
Congratulations on the house also! Sounds like it will be any exciting year.
Congrats to you and your presh hubs in being prego! It's totes cute and fabs!
haha kate! Yeah i hate the word prego! it rminds me of spaghetti not having a baby but thats just me.... Congrats. everyones having babies this coming summer so fun!
Congrats, super happy for you. It's very hard being pregnant after a miscarriage. Hope you can be at least a little comforted by your check ups until you get to see your baby. So happy for you and you husband. :-)
I've always hated the word prego. It sounds gross to me. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Congrats on your new house and bun in the oven! Haha! Just wait until cute little phrases come spilling out your mouth when you talk to your new baby. It's inevitable! Wish I could invade your personal space a bit, but your toooo far away!
Congratulations Diana!! I have never liked the word Preggo (or Prego, however it is spelled). I agree with Jessica that it reminds me of spaghetti sauce. Now be sure when the baby comes to... Ha ha, don't worry, you don't need any advice because I know you and your husband will be amazing parents. I can't wait to find out the gender of your little one!
The personal space invasion will continue after baby Mort arrives except it will be completely re-directed... especially if the baby happens to be blond-haired and blue-eyed and even more especially if you happen to be in Mesa... "Que bonita! Mire al bebe! (to the rest of their family) Ojos azules grandes! ohhh! Que bonita." I celebrated the day I discovered the invention of the car-seat canopy in my preparations for Maelee. Don't touch my newborn, random person at the store! Also, I'm really really really excited for you :) You will be an amazing mother.
Hahaha I'm relieved to hear a lot of others dislike prego- and that a lot of you can be a little snarky (Kate and Kristi.... ) really though, I am so stoked. Crystal, that made me laugh out loud because I can totally see that happening. Mostly because I'm sure I've done that to you already. Angela, I'm glad to hear from you! Your little kiddo looks so big now, and yeah- we can't wait to find out the gender. My guess is boy but that just might be wishful thinking.
