Emotional..

Is it just because I'm pregnant or have I always been this emotional? Yesterday was 6 years since my dad has passed away. Time goes by so fast and it really feels like yesterday too. Most of the time I'm fine and life is normal. Then a memory hits or a song comes on or I see something that reminds me of him and I can't stop myself from crying. I'm so grateful for my family and friends that have helped me out in the last 6 years. I know that through my experiences in life it will help me be there for other people who need just as much as I did. Yesterday I was thinking how unfair it was that I only had 18 short years with him, especially having a baby and growing up. I know that he would be proud of me and is there for me more than I know. Love ya dad.

22 weeks

I'm now at 22 weeks and am feeling great! My little boy is growing everyday. I can now feel his kicks more strong. Every time he kicks I hurry and try to grab Brian so he can feel, he has only felt them a couple of times. I feel so lucky to have had such an easy pregnancy so far. I am crossing my fingers that it will be this easy the whole time. We still haven't figured out a name yet. We always sit down and say, OK what should this baby's name be! We are stuck between 3 names that we like, Boston -Peyton- and Brody. I can't decide because I like them all! I will keep my growing belly posted!

Baby, Birthday, and Halloween

This was me at 19 weeks , Its a baby boy for sure! We are getting excited

Sorry about the white skin:) Had to throw the bear belly shot in there.

So much to say..

Yes, I have been a slacker. I blame it partly on the fact that I've been so busy and partly because my Internet has been down forever. But we have some good news, I'm pregnant! Yes I am 15 weeks pregnant and everything is going great. It had been a real struggle for us the last year or so and finally it happened. I was told by my friends to go to this new doctor and so I did. The first time I went to him he said, "Well you are young and healthy, there is no reason why you shouldn't be pregnant, I'll have you pregnant in the next 3 months." I thought to myself I am not going to get my hopes up, and what do you know, a month later I peed on a stick and two beautiful pink lines showed up.
I couldn't believe my eyes. Brian couldn't believe it either, so he made me go buy another pregnancy test and I went into my doctors and they drew my blood just to make sure.:) So blessings do happen and everything happens for a reason. I guess its true when people say that when you stop worrying about it, it will happen. I am so grateful that things are ok and we are excited to be having (they think a baby boy) in March. And the best part about it all, I have not been sick or felt different at all. Just a little more tired in the first trimester. This was just tiny reminder to me whose in charge and is calling the shots:) Definitely not me

Today Started off bad.

I woke up on the wrong side of the bed and was scared about the upcoming events.

Today I had to get an MRI

I wish I wasn't nervous but somehow I felt scared.

I wanted to hope that they would find a cure to all that I have been going through

After the MRI I felt hope.

I realized that things were going to get better and that I could have kids.

I realized that I need to listen to my gut instinct on things and do what the spirit tells me.

Today I feel excited about the future.

Today I finally felt a weight lifted off of my shoulders.

I hope things get better

I realize that they could be a lot worse.

I have a new appreciation for prayer and my Heavenly Father

Today brought me to my knees

Today ended up to be a good day.

Ok here are some more pictures from our Cruise we went on.. ALso our new little kitty Abby and some pictures when Brian and I went to the East Coast last week.

Our cute new little kitty Abby. Brian's mom was driving down the road and she saw her just lost without a home. We were hanging out with his mom one night and she brought the kitty over. She asked us if we wanted it and we said no. Then she told us to play with it for an hour and to look into its eyes and see if it was the one for us. So after an hour I think you know the outcome.. Brian said that he would only take Abby if his mom would support her for a year. So whala! She went to Petco and bought us all the stuff we needed for a cat.

Bella is so funny with the cat. She is so excited to have a friend. I seriously want to video tape it. Too funny.

BFF's

The White House. It was a lot different than I thought it would be. I was really cool to go here though. We saw Michelle's Garden, Obama's Basketball court and we saw someone walking Obama's dog. Everyone was like, "Hey look there's Obamas dog"

Washington Monument. This was really cool. We got to go all the way to the top and look.

Lincoln Memorial. This was one of Brian's favorites

We went to Philly for a day and saw Liberty hall where the Declation of Independence was signed. That was very cool and spiritual.

Liberty Bell

Brian and Jake. We stayed with Jake and Lindsay in D.C. It was so much fun.

Yes I realize my camera is horrible. That is on the list of things to get. But.. this picture is at the Rocky memorial and the next is Brian and Jake running up the Rocky steps in the Movie. They also were doing push ups on the steps. What macho men they are.

We spent about $40 dollars overall trying different Philly cheese steaks. I seriously can not look at another cheesesteak for the rest of my life! It was all the boys idea

Where the Declaration was signed.

There was a flaming Gay parade in downtown Philly. It was so gross.

Ok here are some of the pictures from the cruise that we went on.. there are a lot so enjoy!!

Day 1

We loved getting pina colada's..mmmm so good

There were two formal nights, this was one of them

Our ship..

Cabo. This was a fun little city we went snorkeling..

Lovers Beach

There were a bunch of seals on this rock.. kinda cool

Mazalan. This was the place to do your shopping. There were so many things that people wanted you to buy. I was good and only bought one thing. The white Ray Bans that I'm wearing.

This was in the jungle at Puerto Vallarta. This was by far the funnest area to stop in. We went zip lining through the jungle. I was going so fast that I got whip lash a couple times, I could get the "break thing" down.

Our Dinner group. What a great group of people. The couple sitting next to me was from New Zealand, very nice people. The one next to them was from Scottland, and the one standing up was from Salt Lake. We hung out with the one's from Salt Lake a couple of days. Very cool couple.

The people who cleaned the room always made funny towel animals. This time they made it look like he was watching the tv.

The day before we went to Laguna Beach and went shopping and out to eat.

Brian modeling his new outfit

Ow ow!!

Thats all!! Now back to real life. Aw.. I wish I was still in Mexico.
