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!
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!

I can not believe that 18 months has come and gone so fast! Before I know it this little man will be 2! Some fun things Carter is doing right now are:
BIG BROTHER! We are expecting a new baby mid October. They will be 25 months apart.
3 YEARS AGO.....
We thought March would be warm enough....its spring after all, right? WRONG! Someone tried to tell me that Logan had NO snow in March in 2007. I beg to differ.
Brrrr.
And I had to post this picture of my dear papa. There is something about being "daddy's little (and ONLY) girl" on your wedding day that makes it EXTRA special.
Here's to 3 years with the man of my dreams and, i hope, MANY more to come. I love you Chad!
This Valentine's Day it was Chad's year to plan it and since his week off was the week after valentine's day we decided to celebrate it on Tuesday. I woke up that morning to a sweet love note and at the bottom it said that i had to hurry and get ready because I had a massage at 10AM! I was SO excited. It has been....shhhh...2 YEARS....since i had a massage! I know that is terrible since I AM a massage therapist. But it was WONDERFUL! It may have been the best one I've ever had and i have had a lot in my days. After that, we headed to my moms to drop Carter off then turned around and drove to Boise! When we got there we went to this cool park ( i think it was called Kathryn Morrison Park) or something like that. It was beautiful! There were a ton of walking paths, benches and, and gazebos all over. Ducks and geese swarmed the park! We got down by a pond and Chad pulled a single stem rose out of his coat and gave it to me along with some chocolate covered strawberries. (Since I've been following The Bachelor, I told him i felt like i was on the show!) It was SO sweet! Then we walked around until it started raining. 
After that we headed to the Anniversary Inn for a stay in the Capitol Room. It was huge! The picture doesnt do it justice. We had a super relaxing and enjoyable time! I'm so lucky to have a hubby that keeps things interesting and suprises me all the time! Love ya Chad! Thanks for treating me so special!
