Tuesday I turned 12 weeks in my pregnancy! 1st trimester almost done! So i have to give a little back ground to this post....Don't get me wrong we are SO EXCITED to be bringing another baby into this world! I think both of us though have questioned if it is the right time and have worried alot what life with 2 kids would be like! 1 is hard enough some days! And i definantly dont have the challenge like many do of getting pregnant...We had talked about
maybe having a baby once, and i was pregnant right away. So it must have been time. I think it just happened so fast it suprised us both alot!
On Tuesday i went to my 12 week checkup where i was supposed to get to hear the heartbeat for the first time. As the doctor spent atleast 5 minutes probing my abdomen and searching for the heartbeat, and saying over and over "it should be right here!" he said "Well dont worry........(long pause)...YET." And he had a worried look on his face. Which is the LAST thing a doctor should say to an expectant mom, because of course, they are just going to worry. They hurried and took me to the ultrasound room and after a few more minutes of holding my breath, the technician finally said "oh yes, there it is!" PHEW!!! The little heart was just beating away! I was SO glad i wanted to cry. I guess thanks to my anatomy, it was a little more difficult to hear and find.
So anyways i told Chad what was going on as soon as they couldnt find the heartbeat. He told me later that he also had been wondering if this was the right time to have a baby but for those few seconds that they were searching for a little heartbeat, he said it confirmed in his mind that YES he definantly wanted this baby. And that he already loved it and wanted it. Funny how we can love something so small that we havent even met yet!
So in conclusion, this slight little scare has made us want this baby here more than anything. We are up for the challenge! We are so excited for October to come so we can meet our new baby!
Maycie and Emma.
Painted fingers and toes
Made little pizzas and ate them
And flew kites! I was very selective in which pictures to put up since i have already blogged so much, but these are just a few fun things we were able to do. We will miss you guys for 1 more year and can't wait to have you back in Idaho!
Chad's mom turned 60 this April and the family threw a huge suprise party in her honor. It was held at Pocatello Power Sports and Clyde brought her through the upstairs door to this....
ALL 7 OF HER KIDS! It was the first time they all had been together in 8 YEARS! They are in order of age from L to R: Clark, Cami, Chris, Ann, Chet, Chelsey, and Chad. And TONS of other family attended also.
She was so suprised she cried and laughed for the first 2 hours of the party. It brought tears to everyones eyes. The biggest suprise was Chet and his family who came clear from GERMANY for the party. We havent seen them in 3 years and there was even a grandaughter she hadn't met yet. Other siblings traveled from Portland, OR; Prosser, WA; and Logan, UT.
Yes we lit 60 candles on her cake with a blow torch. And she blew all but 2 out in 1 breath! Cami made the cake and it took 6 cake mixes! Great job Cam!
We had a great Easter this year. Carter enjoyed hunting for eggs although he knew there were treats in each egg so he wanted to open and eat the treats everytime he found an egg! He was so much fun. We had a huge family Easter Party the weekend after Easter and did an egg hunt, pinata, and fish pond for the kids. It was so much fun!
25! I can't believe it is here already! I think I have pictures of my MOM's 25th birthday growing up! I remember it seemed so old....yet i still feel so young. It was a very special day for me. Chad's parents came down for Easter weekend so we celebrated with them. We watched General Conference in the morning, then ran and did some shopping and even found a rummage sale (wahoo!) then came back for the afternoon session of conference. After that I spoiled myself and scheduled a pedicure and manicure! It was wonderful. When I returned home, I was told to go to my room!
I came out to find presents, balloons and CUPCAKES! YUM!
Then it was off to Outback Steakhouse for some yummy steak! The best gift of all was it was the first day in quite a while that i wasn't sick from being pregnant. It didnt last long, but it was an entire day i could actually enjoy! Thanks dear for treating me so special on my special day!
