Today Jason and I went to our first baby doctor's appointment. I didn't really know what to expect. I love my doctor and I'll be sad when we move to Logan and won't be able to see her anymore. But she wanted us to ask questions, anything. We couldn't really think of many, but then she said, "well, you want to listen to your baby's heart beat?" So she placed the doplar "machine" (thing) on my belly and we could only hear my heart beat for the first 3 minutes or so. She kept reassuring us that it sometimes takes a little while before its found, and even if it's not found, it doesn't mean that it's not there or alive or whatever. Well, Jason and I were VERY relieved when she found it and stopped on it for a little minute for us to take it in. I could've listened to that all day! I didn't cry, but how beautiful it is to be able to be a part of something so special! I am so blessed to be an entrusted vessel from our Heavenly Father. He entrusts us with His little ones...We are so blessed!

July 19th!

I guess I neglected that small detail. I'm due July 19th. And yes, I'm announcing it kind of earlier than most people might, but being our first, why not?! I would rather everyone be excited with us than having to wait to tell people...I couldn't even wait four days, let alone 3 months!!! Anyway, y'all are great! Thanks so much for the congratulatory gestures. :)

Two Little Pink Lines!!!

If you haven't heard already from either my mom or Jason's mom, I'm totally PREGO!!!! We are so excited! We found out on the Friday before Thanksgiving (November 20, 2009). I know, I know, I waited that long before putting it on here, but I guess it's better late than never! So here's the story:

We were going to wait to tell our parents on Thanksgiving since we would see both parents during that weekend. But after going out shopping with Julie that same Friday night, it was too much for me to handle waiting more than the three days. So we ended up inviting the parents over for a dinner ("just to catch up", "it's been a long time") or so we told them. We put out little nut cups and put a pacifier in each of the mom's cup, an arrow in the dad's cup pointing to their respective wife's cup. The reaction was so perfect. They looked at Jason and I, then looked at each other and started crying! (The mom's that is :)). Since then I've been less sick than I thought I would be, but more sick than I would like to be... I'm excited for the second trimester so that I can look pregnant and not just feel pregnant!
