4 MONTHS! The first trimester always seems to go by quick, mostly because nothing new seems to be happening. I'm one of the lucky ones that doesn't get really sick in the first trimester, although this time I did have a couple of weeks where I didn't feel great. Not enough to throw up, but just feeling like it all day long. It was hard not to tell anyone at work, but after I did announce my pregnancy some of the guys that work close to my office said that they noticed I didn't look like I felt great. So, here we are 4 months later and I've got my little baby bump started. I hope I don't gain as much weight this time around, but time will tell. I think I've felt the baby at least once for sure...I went to bed REALLY late one night and could feel some fluttering. :-) I haven't really felt the baby since, but I also haven't had time to really focus and see if I can. So the next big question is WHAT ARE WE HAVING?! We can't wait to find out, but unfortunately we'll have to. We could have had an ultrasound on the 12th of May, but we'll be living on the beach, and then the next week Mike is gone for his competition. So May 26th at 8:30 am is the exciting day. We'll keep you posted!

Analise's Baby Shower

We had yet another fantastic and busy Saturday. The morning started off with our Service Scavenger Race for our ward that a whole 15 people showed up for. It was a small crowd, but we got some great service done at a couple of homes. Then we were able to come home and get ready for Analise's baby shower. Her sister Katilyn drove from CA to be here and she did a ton of work! She made this beautiful diaper cake for her and got the best food.
It was so fun to have all the family and friends show up, especailly since half of them had been at another baby shower that morning for our cousin, Amy Vickers. She is also having a boy and will be induced on May 4th unless he comes by himself.

Though our kitchen feels huge when it's just the 3 of us, it definitely shrinks when you put 20-25 people in there. We were all comfy cozy for the baby games of baby word scramble, How Big Is Her Belly?, and the Price Is Right.

Of course the best part of the party was the presents, and she scored on the loot for this little guy! He will be well dressed for months to come! She also received a great baby book, and bedding for her crib to come, as well as a great pack and play from her family.




By the way, we had about 4-5 pregnant women there at the same time! Half with our first and half with our second. It always seems like everyone is pregnant, doesn't it? Thanks again for everyone who came and we're so excited excited to meet grandbaby Jenson #2! Hurry up!! :-) You've got a great family to come and join (see below)

Here is the gearbox that Mike's team redesigned, and the last main thing they have to complete for their baja. Mike created this 3D exploded view to show all the parts. (click on the pic to really see all the detail) He's so talented!

Design Day

Yeah! We finally got to see the baja that Mike has been working on for two semesters. Today was the day that all the senior design projects were on display. Mike's team was by far the coolest project their. The car might not have been painted yet, but it looked AWESOME! Mike worked on designing the chassis (the frame), but he also put in a lot of effort and work to other elements. Besides painting they still need to get their new design of the gear box on, but hopefully that will go quick and they can just have fun "testing" it.

It was from 9-3 today and quite a few friends and family were able to come out to support it so thank you! It was fun for Mike to be able to show everyone what he's been working on, and Carter thought it was pretty fun to drive too.

Unfortunately it was too loud to actually drive it around in the union center, but when it was all over they fired it right up and drove it up the stairs and out the front door! It was so awesome to see!

MIKE WAS ON TV!!!

Mike's Baja project was on the show At Your Leisure. It shows on Saturday nights and Sunday mornings. Check out Mike and his team here: (He's at the beginning and then there is a clip about his group a little past half way through the program.)

Also come join us tomorrow at the Union center at the U for Design Day where Mike's Baja will be on display for everyone to see how it looks and works. It's from 9-3 pm.

BUSY SATURDAY!!!

We can't believe that we made it through this last weekend! Wow! It was so busy and so fun and so stressful all at the same time. To start off, Christina had to have one of her wisdom teeth pulled on Thursday morning because it got a hole in it and had exposed a nerve so it was causing LOTS of pain. The annoying thing was that the regular numbing stuff from the dentist office doesn't work on her, BUT she is pregnant so everyone was saying that she shouldn't/couldn't get put out to have an oral surgeon do it. After a few days of talking with all the doctors and getting checked out and having a nurse say "Well, I wouldn't do it if I was pregnant", Christina finally got in the oral surgeon's chair at 8:30 am. Only to have to be sent back to the waiting room right before an IV was put in because the wording the baby doc sent over only said "oral surgery" not "general anesthesia" After 45 minutes of tracking the baby doc down to have him reword his approval, Christina finally got the painful tooth yanked out. Luckily she had a wonderful dad who flew in just the night before to take care of her and Carter. It was so fun to see them bond.
Anyway, Christina's dad flew in on Wednesday and her sister Ginger flew in on Thursday to be apart of this weekend. The main events were Christina's sisters, Jana and Julie, were running in the SLC 1/2 marathon race. It was their first one and they both have been training so hard, only to each have a leg muscle injury just days before the marathon. That didn't stop them though, although it might have slowed them down more than they would have hoped, but they did AMAZING!!! All of the rest of us Habel girls are super proud of what they accomplished.
Ginger had the great idea of making them slug bug head bands to wear so they were easy to point out. She also made some awesome signs to help cheer them on. It was a blast! We showed up just as they were running towards the finish line in Gateway. What excitement!
Julie had two of her five kids with her, Landon and Brook, and Landon was a super trooper because just the day before he had to have all 4 wisdom teeth taken out! He looks pretty good though, huh?
After the excitement we had to run up an already started surprise retirement party for our Uncle Colin who is married to our Dad's sister, Cindy. She and her friends did an BEAUTIFUL job pulling everything off and it was really a great party. Colin was so surprised by all the effort and the people there, especially because his only brother flew in as additional surprise, and Cindy even had some very sweet sentiments written to Colin from friends and co-workers here and back in England. It all was so beautiful and fun to see a lot of our extended family.

They had a beautiful display of the different chapters in Colin's life and all of his accomplishments in the navy as well as one of his favorite hobbies, growing orchids. He earned quite a few rewards and medals so it was a great contribute to his life.
Unfortunately Mike had to miss all of the fun because he was stuck taking an extremely hard engineering test for 8 hours! We met him downtown to get some yummy food once he was done, and with Christina's family all gone to Nevada for her nephew Dillon's farewell, we had a pretty quiet evening. It was nice to get some relaxing in, even though we were sad we weren't able to make it out to see her nephew off. We're so proud of him and we know that he'll be a great missionary!
