On February 18 my sister Katie had her little guy. She was due about a week before me. So he was about 12 weeks early. He only weighed 2 lbs 13 oz. We are so grateful that he and my sister made it through ok. Britain is a little miracle. He never needed a breathing tube and all the nurses were amazed at how well he was doing for being so early. He is continuing to grow and develop well. He now weighs 3 lbs 6 oz. We are so grateful. Britain we love you and can't wait to meet you!

Gallstones

Well its been awhile since my last post. I am 27 weeks now and still really sick. We found out i have gall stones. So that could be the reason i am still sick, which would be great. Then hopefully next pregnancy i won't be as sick. I will be having surgery on Tuesday, Feb. 23rd to get my gall bladder out. We decided its best to do it now, because my attacks are becoming more frequent and as the baby gets bigger it will only make things more complicated if they had to do an emergency surgery. I am a bit nervous, but also very excited to be out of pain and to start feeling better.
We did find out we are having a GIRL! We are really excited for her arrival. We have her crib and bedding up. Its super cute. We will hopefully get her room painted this weekend so i won't have to worry about it after the surgery. I will post some pics when it is finished.

Coming Soon....

We are so excited about our new addition coming May 18,2010. I am way slow at posting this, cause i just haven't been in the blogging mood. Also i have been pretty sick and haven't done much of anything. I am about 16 weeks along now, and i am still sick! Does it really ever go away?! I sure hope so cause I'm not sure i can take much more of it! Jake has been so good to me through all of this. He has done the cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, and waited on me hand and foot. I'm so lucky and so grateful to have him! We are so thankful for this sweet little baby and know that it is such a huge blessing!

Excited parents!

Our baby at 12 weeks

One Year Older

Well last Thursday i celebrated my 23rd birthday. Man! That sounds so old! I had a really good day.

I woke up to this...yummy! My sweet husband had doughnuts, a rose, and a sweet note for me.

Then at work my cute niece Amoree came walking in holding balloons. It was so cute i almost cried. My sweet sister came and brought me balloons, and cupcakes to share with my work ladies. She is always so thoughtful! My work ladies also had cupcakes, and sang to me. They also gave me a gift card to Wal Mart.

After work my mom took me to lunch, and then shopping.

Then later that night we went bowling at "Fat Cats" with my family. It was lots of fun! I was going to do i-fly (since Jake wouldn't let me do real skydiving), but they had a kid's leauge that night. So it was all full. I will just have to another time.

Yummy Pizza Factory breadsticks!

Me with my nieces and nephews. Minus Caitlynn and Annika. It's kindof hard to get a good pic with four little kids. So here is our best attempt.

We love Bear Lake!

A few weekends ago we went to Bear Lake again. We wanted to go one last time before summer was over. We went with Jake's sister Holly, and his aunt and uncle, and cousin were up at the lot too. We had lots of fun! The weather was perfect. It started storming the day we left so it was perfect timing. We enjoyed some yummy bear lake pizza, fire pies, and smores. I love camping food. It's the best!

Bee's Game

A couple of weeks ago we went to the Bee's game with Jake's family. It was so cold! I was dressed in summer clothes and needed to be dressed in winter clothes! They lost 8-0. It was pretty pathetic, but we still had lots of fun.
