Christmas and Lately

We went down to Mesa with my family for Christmas. It was so fun to see everyone and the weather was beautiful! This is me at 31 weeks. I am getting bigger and bigger by the week! It is crazy how fast time goes. I haven't even gotten his room ready, but I think in the next 9 weeks we will have everything done for sure. We still haven't decided really on a name, once we pick one we like another one too!

Christmas Pictures

Here are some pictures getting ready for Christmas. This year we decided to just use this little fake tree. Don't worry our Kitty has already knocked it down once.

We decided to go around town to take our Christmas pictures. Brian's cousin Cody just used our camera and we just took a bunch of random pictures. It is still weird getting used to my pregnant body. It still doesn't feel like me, but I still have 15 more weeks, so I guess I will just be getting bigger from here. There are many more pictures, but I am still editing some of them, so this is what I have so far....

25 weeks..

This is probably our Christmas card this year..

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!

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.
