13 weeks!

Okay guys, sorry if you are not into the belly shots, but they are my photo journal and it'll be fun to look back on them:)
I hit my 13 week and am starting to feel a little bit better. I don't want to throw up anymore and can actually make it through the day without feeling nauseous. I still get tired and towards the end of the night I have had about enough..
I have a baby bump! Others can notice it too. Kirk likes to rub it and say hi to the baby which is about the size of a peach:) We love him or her and still feel like it's a boy... I can't wait to find out!!

12 Weeks!

I think my baby tracker is off a couple days.. Monday was a great day. I went with my mom to see our baby. He/she is doing good! I saw the strong heart beat and his/her arms, legs, hands, feet.. It was miraculous! He even bent his legs and arms and kicked for us.
It's a touching moment for me because he is bigger than our last baby ever got which gives me tremendous hope. After having a miscarriage before, just seeing that heart beat is all I would ever want for Christmas.
"It's amazing how the smallest little thing can fill up the majority of your heart."
Keep going strong baby! We routing for you!!!

Julie's Birthday Night!

The other weekend we had the fun-tastic chance to go out for Julie's birthday! Deciding to make it a girls' night out, Emma Jane, Sarah, Julie, Lauren and myself went out to a fun dinner at Benihana's and then went to go see the Nutcracker!
We had such a good time enjoying yummy food and an entertaining ballet. Happy 28th birthday Jules!
Julie might be a little upset with this photo, but I had to post it because it was just too funny not to. While we were finishing up dinner the vent from above the Te pan grill started to lightly leak. It was quite gross and Julie was determined to stop it. So go-getter Julie climbed on this chair to tighten the grease catcher. Well, in doing so, the grease catcher totally let loose and spilled below on her and Emma and Sarah. We can laugh about it now, but it was really quite gross when it happened. Julie was just trying to help!
Oh well, she's still the cutest girl ever:)
It was my first time to go see the Nutcracker and I had a great time! I wasn't even sure what to expect and enjoyed watching the very talented dancers perform. We had a great night together and hope to have many more to come:)

On a side note: I had another ultrasound today and got to see our little baby move around like crazy! It's got arms and legs and feet and hands! I even saw him cross his legs at his ankles! He waved hi to us and kicked up a storm. I call him a boy because I think a girl would be too refined to act so rambunctious ;) Well, we love you whatever you are you little lime sized miracle!

A Day at Disneyland and an Ugly Christmas sweater party!

Have you ever seen so many gorgeous sweaters before? I mean, people, I was surrounded by a bunch of hotties last night! A big shot out to Jon and Jill for hosting yet another successful "Ugly Sweater Party" at their adorable new place last night. It was a joyous night of Wassail and Cocoa, treats and delicious soups and of course classic white elephant gifts that we can now store away for next year.;)
Although my husband reminds me that I am half Asian, I look especially Asian in this picture.
Kirk insisted on us bringing Hobbs to the party because not only does he enjoy a night out on the town with great friends, but he had a great Christmas sweater that he wanted to show off to everyone. My boy- what a little show off.
Well, the sweaters may have been ugly, but the company sure wasn't:)
The ever festive Asay family. Although Own may not look like he's having fun, he actually was tearing it up at the party!

Earlier that day....

We ventured to California Adventure to spend the day with Kirk's parents and Kirk's brother Jimmy and their family. Even though the weather kinda sucked and it was freezing, you wouldn't have known cuz we had a blast! A big thank you to the little guy in me that cooperated until at least 2:30 before slowing me down.
Have you guys been to California Adventure? I love it! And I love California! We are so priviledged to live in such a beautiful place (can't you see the shining sun?). While riding "Soarin through California" I almost cried at how beautiful this state is that we live in and all the amazing things we get to enjoy. Flippin' hormones! Gosh, I almost cried on "Soarin' through California!"
My three adorable neices and nephews: Skyler, Brock and Sloan:)
Famous sitings run a plenty at the Happiest place on earth!
I have never seen a cuter picture than this.. Sloan was so excited at Bug's Life
Kirk makes such a great uncle that I just know he is going to be the best dad in the world. I love all these people in this picture very, very much!
Because we had little kids and I am restricted on what I can ride right now, we had the opportunity to ride some of the more "docile" rides at the park. We had fun!
And what's everyone's favorite part about amusement parks? THE FOOD.
Me and little Sis:)
So there you have it! We still looooove to party! Hope everyone else is having a blast this holiday season!

10 weeks!

I know it might be early to start posting the belly shots, but I just can't help myself! I am 10 weeks right now and am already noticing changes to my body. I won't be one of those whiners that complains about getting fat, because if that is what it will take to make a healthy baby- that's what I'll do! I have my due date now of July 9, 2010 and in the last appointment Kirk and I got to see baby complete with arms and legs and a nice noggin! In fact, in keeping with the Schilling/ Weber show off mode he/she even gave us a little kick to make its presence known:) Yeah, we couldn't be happier. The nausea, headaches, chronic fatigue, sickness, moodiness, bloating, smelling aversions, and just plain out of sorts is sooooo worth it:)

p.s. I'm not quite sure what I was wearing that day- it's been cold and I've been sick so my outfits are quite interesting lately.. sorry.

Happy Thanksgiving!

From our family to yours!

My apologies for not getting more pictures this year, just didn't feel up to it. Luckily, I have a very talented brother in law that takes the most amazing photographs for us! We had a great time up in Morgan Hill with Kirk's family this year. We had a new addition this year with baby Kamryn and realized that next year we'll have a new addition thanks to us! Gosh, we are excited and once I can get past this all day sickness stuff life will be even more amazing. I love Kirk's awesome and big family and have posted a family picture below. Can you believe that this is just his immediate family? Yes, I am lucky for all of them:)

We've got a heart beat folks!!

Yeah, all this nausea hasn't been for nothing! We got to see our little peanut yesterday, and while he/she may be smaller than my pinkie nail, I love him/her so much! The doctor said everything is looking great and that the nausea is a good thing (I wish I could believe him when I am dying in bed each day.)
Keep beating little heart! You can do it! And as far as my due date is concerned, they are torn between July 7-13th. A little bit of a gap, but at least I might be able to enjoy 4th of July at the beach!
Kirk thinks it's a boy and I'm kinda thinking it's a girl.. but one thing is for sure, we've got an embryo of growing cells going on!

Trav's Farewell Weekend

Here is our Ohana
I cannot believe my brother is gone to the MTC! It seems like it was so far away and now he is already there learning everything that good missionaries need to know. We are all so proud of him and can't wait to hear how he does out in Perth Australia! Travis is probably going to be one of the best missionaries to ever teach the people of Australia (and I'm not just saying that as his proud older sister). We love you Travis and will miss you very much!
Many people came to see Travis off including a lot of his buddies
Here are my two funny aunties! I love them so much! We had a good time playing games together while everyone was here visiting from Utah, Wyoming, Colorado and various California places.
Here are some of the Webers with some old time friends- Pat and Tyler Wilsey. We grew up living across the street from the Wilseys and it's so great that they are still friends!
The Weber boys. This picture makes me want to cry. And it's probably just because I cry at everything these days! Gosh, I am so emotional. My uncle Con (left, and yes, he and my dad are identical twins so don't think you need to get your eyes checked) and my Grandpa Walt came down to see Trav and it was really touching to see how many people really love my brother.

Of course, what would a fun weekend be without some traveling for all of us! Saturday we all ventured down to San Deigo to go for a ride on my dad's boat that is living down there now. We had fun cruising around the harbor, checking out downtown, and trying to dodge seasickness:)
Dom and Kirk at the bow of the boat. I think we must have at least a dozen pictures from this angle.
The young, unmarried folk: Ro, Trav, Tanner and BB. Did I mention that my little sister is planning on serving a mission too?! That means she and my brother will be out at the same time! I really don't know what my poor mother will do. I mean, she'll be stuck with just Kirk and me while they're gone!;)
Okay, funny story that I have to include because I was laughing so hard about it. This is a picture of Amber doing her "Ariel" impression. Her daugther Tiegan is probably the funniest little 3 year old in the world! She is such a girly girl and when asked what she'd like to do for the day she'll say things like "go to the mall." You know, typical 3 yr. old stuff. Well for her 2nd or 3rd birthday they threw her a party with all of her friends in their nice backyard in Colorado. Everyone was there and everyone was outside. Tiegan would go outside for a brief moment and then run back inside so worried that the wind was messing up her hair! Anyway, the only way they were able to coax her outside was to say that the wind blowing through your hair made you look beautiful like Ariel. She thought about it and finally went outside determined that her lovely dark locks danced in the wind like Ariel's long red hair. I dunno, maybe I just think that is funny, but I had to share.
Amber, Auntie Marcia and Maile enjoying the sea voyage.
As seasick as I get, I actually felt great this whole day on the water! Unlike now where I feel like I am really seasick just sitting in this chair.. or lying in bed, or doing just about anything! I am not complaining though, I am sooooo excited to be pregnant!
Mike, Uncle Marcus and Auntie Wendy!
The two artsie lovebirds: Brooke and Tanner. Really, they are like totally meant for each other!
Dom, Ambo and Mai:)
We just wish they all lived here so we could see them all the time! Love you guys and thanks for coming out to make it such a great weekend for Travis!!

WE'RE EXPECTING!!!!!!

Look what I did the other week?! Yes, that's right! After trying for a long long time, we are finally expecting a little Schilling sometime in the beginning of July! (I think) I am off to get my first ultrasound today and will report afterward, but I just wanted to share that with everyone because Kirk an I couldn't be more excited! We are so grateful and humbled by this chance to be parents!

Halloween Part II!

Boo!! Happy Halloween everyone! I hope it was full of ghostly ghouls and freakish fun!! Kirk and I had an excellent Halloween this year. From party to party we lived it up! Saturday night we co-hosted a fabulous Halloween party up at the Kings. It was complete with yummy treats, and lots of friends, as well as awesome decorations and classic games and costume contests. A big THANK YOU to Chris and Alan King that know how to have a good time! Whoo hoo! Displayed above you will see a lovely photo of Kirk and me. We do scary really well for Halloween. While other girls are focused on how to be the "sexy cop" or the "sexy firefighter" or the "sexy tree cutter" or the "sexy dog dropping" (it's AMAZING how they can make everything sexy, huh?) we focus on how to create a costume that will be sure to make others run! Oh yeah, we are the sexiest of them all!
Jenn and Will as the Skeleton and 80's workout girl!
My favorite of the night: Bun in the Oven! Lori actually just found out she's pregnant! Cute huh?
Julie and Tyler as the Farmers from that one famous picture.. I forget what it's called.
Oooooh... scary lights!!
Kirk and Jason is their Ping Pong tournament
One of my other favorites. Can you guess it? Ipod ear buds! Love it!
Japanese meets Chinese (I don't think anyone knew the difference) Go Jason and Kelly!
Kels and me:)
Can't wait for next year! Happy Halloween everyone!!

Halloween Part 1!

Halloween is such a special time of year. People get to throw their boring looks away and transform themselves into a myriad of different characters: Scooby Doo characters, Monsters, Geishas, Vampires, Pilots and attendants, Ice Skaters, and my personal favorite- the Ghetto bootie pair. Thanks to the Asays for throwing such a fun party!
Girls vs. Boys
The Asays!
The Wares- Queen Bee and Worker Bee:)
One night of outfits. Not my favorite, but fun nonetheless. Getting back to my roots:)
