Connor Strong Hertig is on his way!!

Yes ladies and gentleman we are having a BOY!!!!! I don't think a couple could have been more excited to hear the words "you're having a boy" We both shouted "Yeah" so loud we frightened the sonogram technician. Danny even did a little jig when she left the room...and it was really funny. We also decided on a name, as you can see- Connor Strong Hertig. Maximus will just have to wait until we have another baby- I know what a shame. So here is a picture of us after we found out it was a boy This is us buying his first outfits. I'm holding his coming home outfit- it has little baby dinasours and matching dinasour sock feet and a beanie. Danny was very excited to find a cute outfit that said "daddy loves me" and of course a football sleeper. We seriously can't express how excited and grateful we are to have this baby and thank you everyone for all of your support, it means so much to us. Well, we'll chat at ya later!

One more thing....

I forgot to mention that Danny has informed me that "he's glad he has his wife back." Apparently birth control and early pregnancy changed me into a little bit of a monster, but now I'm back to my normal self. And I'm not going to lie, I do feel like myself again and it is a lot more fun. I'm just glad he stuck with me for a few rough months and I feel bad that he could have thought that I really changed forever. What a silly billy.

Update.....

So danny and I have been very busy these past few weeks, not that I'm great about blogging anyways, but I apologize for the tardiness of this post. First and foremost is that we do have another exciting announcement......Danny (my amazingly attractive and extremely awesome and hilarous husband) passed his sniper indoc!!!!!!! So soon he'll look like this Yeah, it's pretty awesome, and I'm so proud of him. I think it's pretty cool that my husband could one day be the guy on top of the whitehouse.....o.k., maybe that's a little far fetched, but you never know. I'm still so amazed at how lucky I am to get such an amazing husband. Oh, and another good thing that comes out of him being in a sniper unit is that he gets to go to sniper school which just happens to be for two months at camp pendleton. This means that me and our soon to be baby will get to live at home in sunny San Diego while he unforntunately has to live in the bushes. We will definitely miss him but atleast I won't be by myself, I get to be with my family!!!

Another thing we've been up to is just having some fun in Michigan. I got to go to a Tigers vs. the Redsox game which I think a few of our friends may be a little jealous of. It was really fun but unfortunately I forgot the camera, and the tigers got slaughtered. We also have been BBQing it up quite a bit, I really love summer food like watermelon and corn on the cob so we tend to have it quite often. We also went to the toledo zoo with these two silly billiesJackson and Rueben were our house guests for a couple of days and it was a blast. We were lucky enough to get to go to the zoo for memorial day with my Aunt Jill and her kids (thanks again Aunt Jill for the free tickets) and I have to admit it definitely isn't the San Diego Zoo, but it was still fun. I really enjoyed looking at the bugs, for some reason they really fascinate me even though I'm scared to death of them.

We also finally got to mow the lawn. Unfortunately our lawn mower broke so we had to wait for a new one to get shipped to us and we couldn't mow our lawn for a few weeks. I don't think I have ever seen grass so long, it was pretty amazing. Danny made me take a picture with it to show how long it actually was.I also accomplished another craft project. I made my first CapriSun purse. Well, it was actually made out of Kool-Aid Jammers, but I was really impressed with myself and it actually turned out. My next project is to make a vest out of purple Kool-Aid Jammers for our friend Ginormo....yeah, we'll see how that one works out. lol.

And lastly for baby Hertig news....not much really. The baby is healthy and we got to hear it's heartbeat. If you want to know what it sounds like ask Danny because he can do a really good impression. We finally get to find out what it is in two weeks and we are so excited. We are still hoping for a boy, although, our close friends who are just two weeks behind us and thought that they were having a girl are actually having a boy. So we think that since we want a boy so bad and all the old wives tales tell us that we're having a boy, and even Danny's facebook quiz revealed that we are having a boy, we are most likely having a girl. But no matter what we are happy and just want a healthy baby. However, if it is a girl we will reveal her name ....... it will be Chloe Randall Hertig. Ta dah! My dad has always wanted someone named after him so we hope this will do. We are still contemplating boys names so we will have to get back at ya for that one. Well I think I'm done writing my short novel so I'll let you kiddos go.

Our First Tigers Game!

Our friends from work invited us to go to our first Tigers game and we had a blast! Danny and I started the evening by going out to dinner at a restaurant called hockeytown- it was dedicated to the detroit red wings. The food was pretty good and the atmosphere was fun. We then headed across the street to comerica park and got our tickets for the big game. It was 80's night so there was about ten delorian cars parked outside along with ghostbusters, storm troopers and the teenage mutant ninja turtles. I'm not going to lie, I was just excited to get into the park because I was craving a pretzel and diet coke--which I did end up getting and sadly turned out to be disappointed because the pretzel was stale--boo! We then met up with our friends from work and had fun watching the game. We definitely contributed to concessions profits with not only my pretzel and soda, but a super rope, two hot dogs and an ice cream sandwhich. The tigers ended up losing it in the sixth or seventh inning but we still had a good time, and we got free t-shirts. This is a picture of the game, we were out in left field which was pretty good seats for only 16 bucks. This is Danny and I, and yes, I was representing my hometown -- Go Padres!! And behind us are some underage drinkers. lol.

This is the whole group including Jimmy, Ginormo, Lantzy, Libby and Wags.

Ginormo is probably one of the funniest kids ever and is very entertaining.

We asked an usher to take a picture of us with the tigers stuff in the background and well....as you can tell he wasn't the best photographer, but oh well. The stadium was really cool, a lot of tigers with baseballs in thier mouths. The actual Tiger stadium isn't used anymore for the tigers games. There was even a carousel in comerica park though which was pretty cool.

And that ends our adventure. We were actually really excited because there wasn't even any traffic on the way home, which is a lot different from the hour traffic you sit in coming home from the padres game.

Good ol' Life

Well I thought that I would just let everyone know what is going on with us at the moment. I am almost done with school and am counting down the days like I'm still in High School. We are so happy that Chelsea is pregnant, but we are still in shock. She is feeling better but still not 100%-- we are wondering if that will ever be accomplished. We played our first 18 holes of golf last week and I played like the rookie that I am, Chelsea even beat me on the back nine(I know Bud pathetic) We can't wait to go out to Utah--that is the one thing that keeps us going at work, we both can't stand Carrabba's even though I have managed to become the mini selling King. I had a third of the mini sales last week, needless to say my boss was happy. The Marine Corp is doing good I am preparing for the sniper en-doc that will take place in June so I hope to pass with flying colors. I have even managed to lose some of the married weight that I so healthily put on after I married Chelsea and yes its her fault. Other than that same old crap different day.

Yeahh!!!!

Well I went to my first appointment with my doctor today and had a sonagram. And the results are in.......we have a healthy baby that is right where it's supposed to be! I am so excited because I think we all know how much of a worry wart I am and I couldn't wait to see the doctor to make sure everything was going o.k. This sonagram thing is pretty crazy, I actually saw the baby move while it was on the screen!!! It's alive! I still can't believe I have a little alien baby growing inside me. I haven't gained any weight, only lost weight due to the fact that all of my muscle has turned into fat from laying on the couch all day before work- so that's awesome. Hopefully I'll feel good enought to go to the gym soon so I can atleast tone some problem areas. And I want all of you Utah folk to know how lucky you are to have Zupas, Costa Vida, Fro-Yo and Rumbi's....I would seriously KILL for a pork smothered burrito right now. In-n-out has also been calling my name lately. grrrrr. There is no good food in MI and it is so depressing. I just can't wait until the end of July when I can finally satisfy all of my food cravings on our trip to utah. Only 3 more months!!!! Back to the baby..... We will be finding out the sex of baby Hertig at the beginning of July. We really want a boy, but most of all we want a healthy baby. Welp kiddos I'm going to order a pizza so I'm going to go. I'll chat at ya later (I stole that one from my mom)

Well here is a fun Photo and I guess we will let you all know that Chelsea has a due date, Nov 9th so we are both really happy and can't wait. So far Chelsea is doing great, she has been sick as expected and well she can't wait for that to stop. We can't wait as most of you probably suspect and thanks to everyone for all your support.
