"bump" progression

(12 weeks)


I am now 16 weeks pregnant and starting to show, as you can see in the second picture that was taken last night. The top picture was taken when I was 12 weeks. We are so excited to have a baby! It has been an interesting experience so far. I have been fortunate enough not to get sick to the point of throwing up but I do have to eat more often or I get nauseous. Jordan has been really cute he will rub my belly and talk to the baby and tell him/her that he loves them. We go in on Thursday for our appointment and hopefully we will be able to see the sex of the baby this time. Keep your fingers crossed!!

Our second appointment

Well today was our second doctors appointment. For whatever reason I thought I was 13 weeks but it turns out I am only 12 weeks and 2 days so we weren't able to see what sex the baby is yet, ohwell. For a while now I haven't really been able to tell that I am pregnant other than my jeans feeling a little snug around the waist but when she put the ultrasound probe on my stomach and we could see an actually baby kicking around I was sooo happy! He or she has grow tremendously in the past four weeks. You can actually see legs and arms flailing around and an actual profile of a human. how amazing this is! We go back in another four weeks and by then we should be able to tell the sex of the baby. Can't wait!!!

California/Oregon

We had been planning a trip to go see my mom in Mount Shasta California and also to the Oregon coast as soon as I graduated from nursing school. So we packed up the car, got a good nights sleep and headed off at the crack of dawn on our 12.5 hour journey. We first went to my moms and stayed there Thursday then headed off Friday afternoon for my grandpa's house in Central Point Oregon for the evening. Saturday morning we headed off for Gold Beach Oregon for some fun at the beach! We had alot of fun. We stayed at a place called Jott's Resort that is right where the Rogue river and the ocean meet. We only stayed there until Sunday because my mom had to be back to work Monday morning but the time we had there was still fun. Here are some pictures I took.

July 24th

After I got off work Friday evening Jordan annd I went over to his parents house for a bbq and swimming. We had great food. Salmon, steak, chicken, fruit, ect ect. Well we decided to bring our dogs like we usually do. We had them tied up to a tree in the backyard while we all ate our dinner. After that they were able to run free. As soon as it got dark we all went to the front to light fireworks, leaving the dogs in the back. So, they had a grand old time back there with all the left overs! When we got home Jordan noticed our puppys' stomach looked like a basketball! Shortly after he puked all over our carpet, so digusting. The funny thing about this is we now call him Templeton. Here is a clip from Charolettes Web where Templeton the rat goes to the fair and eats all the leftover. Notice his stomach, looked just like Angus's after he feasted. I know he was probably just like the rat frantically running around eating as much as he could before he could get caught. Pretty funny.

our first appointment

Well today was the big day! We had our first doctor's appointment, and let me just say I was pretty nervous. I know I have had all the signs of pregnancy, but really? I just didn't think I could. It was a total fluke. So the doctor came in and did a quick ultrasound. We first saw the sac and he measured him/her. Said everything looked great. Then we were able to see the heart beating. I could not believe it! It was the weirdest feeling. I was so elated. Then I asked if we could hear it yet and he said, "well lets see." Sure enough!! After he left the room Jordan came over and hugged me and I just started bawling.

I know that I am doing everything I am suppose to in my life and my Heavenly Father see's that and has blessed me with this wonderful and remarkable gift. I am so happy, nervous, all of the above!! Thanks to all of you that stopped asking if I was pregnant yet, I think it worked. ;0)

This one you can hear the heart beat.

This second video you can see the heart beating if you look real close

squarefoot garden changes

ok I already know Im obsessed with gardening but I just had to put this on here. We decided to take the cages off the squarefoot gardens and put fencing around the whole thing. It looks much better.

Angus

So on mother's Day Jordan and I decided to go look at a puppy. He has been wanting one for so long to be a little buddy to our other dog Josie but I didn't really want two dogs. So out of my better judgement we decide to go look at a couple of Labradoodle puppies someone was selling in Syracuse. Well we got there and I fell in love!! What a cute breed they are! We got little angus when he was 8 weeks he is now 12 1/2 weeks and getting huge!! He was 13.5lbs when we got him, now his is pushing 23lbs! He is going to be massive.
