Great Day

Babies always make for a great day.  Today I was awakend by a very loud GET UP NICOLE'S IN LABOR.  My sister is currently at the hospital in labor with her 2nd baby.  I was in charge of going to the hospital to get my nephew Lincoln.  So we are at my parents waiting for baby Emmett to come.  Lincoln isn't quite sure what's about to happen but he knows that emmett is his baby brother and he gets to hold him today.  Not necessarily sure if he knows what that means but we will see.  We are so excited for this new little addition to our family and can't wait till it's our turn.  I will post pictures once he arrives later today.  So fun.

We had another Dr.'s appointment today.  Everything went well, the baby is doing great, and i'm starting to feel much better also.  It is such a neat experience to hear your little babies heart beat, tyler and I couldn't be happier.  We are just starting our 2nd trimester which i'm excited for because soon i will get to feel the baby move and it will be so much more real.  We find out what were having on Aug 4th and we can't wait so we can go SHOPPING!! I am starting to get a belly, it's kind of weird to think that there is actually a baby in there.

So I have had these pictures for a while and just forgot to post them :D  I made bread for the very first time ever and so I had to take a picture.  I'm not sure if it was any good it was bananna bread and i hate banannas but tyler said that he really liked it so i guess i believe him :D

Also I got this delicious peanut butter cup for mothers day from my mother and i was in heaven it was huge it was seriously 4 lbs so i had to take a picture if you want one, it is from the Rocky mtn Chocolate factory very delicious.

and last but not least, i chopped about 6 inches off my nasty hair.  I wasn't sure if i should cut it or not because last time i chopped it i wasn't sure if i loved it but i cut it and i really do like it. Tyler loves it which makes me happy. It is so much healthier.

So I have been feeling so much better i'm starting to think that it's not going to feel like a million years before this baby comes!  I am actually able to eat food and actually keep it down.  I still don't really crave food yet but i'm sure that will come eventually.  Tyler and I are just so excited to be parents and we can't wait to find out what were having. 

Surprise it's a....

BABY!!! So we went in for our 10 wk apt today and we were just supposed to hear the heart beat. The midwife did the little thing to hear the heart and couldn't.. so she decided to do an ultrasound and still no luck no baby.. So we went into the lady that is specialized in ultrasounds and she couldn't see the baby either.. i'm freaking out almost about to cry and she says well we can do one more test and so they did an internal ultrasound and THERE IT WAS healthy baby moving and wiggling with a good steady heartbeat. It measured us at exactly 10 wks 3 days so we are just where we thought we were. They said that it has longer legs than normal, and we are just so ecstatic that there is really a baby.. It definitely made it feel so much more real. We are so thankful and just so happy.

My apologies

So I heard this quote the other day and i really liked it so i'm going to share to the best of my recollection.."live every day like it is the best day of your life" I need to be better about not complaining and just being happy.. So now comes my apology for moaning and complaining all the time about not feeling well or how i can't wait to actually just hold my baby, i am so thankful that i am able to have kids and that i have to opportunity to be pregnant. I am so glad that i have a family that loves me for me and that my parents are letting us live in their basement while we save up some money. I am so thankful for the gosple and all of the many blessings that it has truely brought me. I am also so very thankful for a wonderful husband who puts up with me and all of my emotions. I love life.. and so excited for this next new chapter that is being written..

Day in a nutshell

Well i haven't felt so great as I have mentioned. I hadn't gone to get anything for it because i thought well maybe it will settle down, so i decided today that it had been long enough. I called the doctor went in to get something prescribed and ended up having to be hooked up to an IV for an hour and a half becacuse of how dehydrated i have been. I don't do so great with IV's but..it's helped. We will see how well the medication helps. What a great way to start off the pregnancy right.
