Our Baby

Written 9-29-09

Well here is a picture of our little one. We went to our first appointment on Monday the 28th and so far everything is going great. We are 8 weeks and we were able to hear a heart beat. That I think was the neatest experience by far! We were able to see the little arms and the little legs. It was so good to be able to actually see that the baby looks like it is developing. On our last ultra sound with our first baby we were farther along then we are now and the baby that time looked nothing like a baby and I think that this time things are A LOT better for us. The doctor said that he couldn't ask for the baby to look any better then what it does and that it has a strong heart beat so that makes us feel a lot better this time. We have our next appointment on the 26th of October and are hoping that things continue to go well for us. We have prayed so hard that things would work in our favor this time and will continue to do so until our little one is with us.

This one is the one that we saw and heard the heartbeat. You can see the heartbeat at the bottom of the picture and the sound was so AMAZING!

Big News!

Zach and I are pregnant again! YEAH!!!!!! We are so very excited that is for sure! We are a little nervous however and we will be until we have atleast made it through the next few months that is for sure. My father in-law seriously seems to know everything and just out of the blue yesterday asked me if we were pregnant and at that point I thought maybe but didn't know for sure. Then later that night my mom the other person who seems to know everything asked the same question! So I have to say I was a little curious myslef and so I had 1 home pregnancy test at home and so I decided to take it this morning and as I waited so very impatiently I only saw one line and finally gave up and thought okay so I must not be. When I came home from work I decided for whatever reason to just look at the test one more time to see if I just happened to miss read it or didn't give it enough time and sure enough 2 lines (one of them was very faint but it was there)! YEAH!!! So I rush into Zach and ask him to see if he sees the lines as well and he does but it is not enough for the 2 of us so I ran to Walmart to get a few more tests and took one as soon as I got home this one however was one that said pregnant or not pregnant so there is no questions when it reads PREGNANT!! I am so excited about this and I am hoping and praying that things will go well for us this time.

I have ALWAYS dreamt about becoming a mom one day and being able to just sit and hold a little one of my own, loving it more then anyone else has ever loved someone, caring for him or her when they are sick, teaching them everything we know, raising them up in the Gospel. Having a family will bring so much joy into our lives and we are so ready!

We will be due sometime around the 9th of May if I calculated right. Right intime for our 2nd Anniversary! I told Zach I would share that day with our little one as long as he or she got here safe and sound! That is all I want a healthy little baby to love and to hold...

Thriller

Zach and I and my parents went to Thriller this weekend. I have seen this a few times and I love it. Zach and my mom had never seen it before and we had a blast! We went to dinner at Sonoroa Grill and it was great as well!

Thanks for coming on our date night with us mom and dad!

"Please no empty chairs"

This past weekend it was General Conference and I love when this time comes around. I love watching and listening to the things that our General Authorities have to share with us. This time there was a saying that particularly stood out to me and I cannot for the life of me remember who said this in their talk but there was a woman with children and when this woman passed away on her head stone she had "please no empty chairs" engraven. This really stuck out to me as Zach and I are ready to start our family. We are able to teach our children all that we know and want the absolute best for them however each and every one of us has our own free agency and are able to choose for oursleves happiness or misery and even though the parents do everything they could possibly do to teach their children the right way and how to make our lives happy but the in the end they have the ultimate desicion. So when this life is over I hope that in our family Zach and I have done the best that we can do as parents so that we have no empty chairs.
