OUR LITTLE PUMPKIN IS DUE MAY 9, 2015

Yup you read that right we are having a baby, May 9, 2015!!

I surprised Michael by sending him a picture of my pregnancy test. So when he woke up that was the first thing he saw.
I did the same with my mom because I needed her guidance on what I needed to do. It was defiantly killing her to not be able to tell anyone the news, but I definitely appreciate all the advice I have gotten as well as another person to talk to about it.
We were so excited when we found out, we just wanted to tell everyone right away, but we waited and learned patience.
I would have been so heart broken to have to tell everyone if we had a miscarriage.
When we found out I was pregnant, I was 5 weeks along, so for my first appointment they had to take a blood test.
For those of you who know me, know that I do not do well with needles and veins in the same sentence.
As you can imagine I did not do well. I kept moving and the nurse had to keep telling me to stop moving and oh my it was a night mare.
I know that this pregnancy is going to be a bumpy ride for me in the aspect of having to be poked everywhere.
After she got the blood she needed she sent me out to set me up for an appointment for our first ultra sound.
I was so excited about that, but I was still in tears from the blood draw, so as I was scheduling the appointment the secretary asked me if this was good news or bad news that I was pregnant.
Oh my I laughed. Thank goodness it is great news for me! But then I thought what if you asked that to someone and it was not great news. That would be one awkward conversation I would hate to be apart of. I just explained to the lady that I had a huge fear of needles and cry every time I am near them, and I think that relieved her of why I was crying.
A few weeks later when we got to 8 weeks along, we decided to tell our closest friends and family! This is how we decided to tell everyone:

Now that we are 12 weeks along and have gotten to tell everyone, I feel so much relief.

I am the worst at keeping secrets and it eats at me if I cant tell anyone what is going on.

All I can say is 6 months better go by fast because I can not wait to meet this little one!!

We are so excited for this next chapter in our new life in Oregon!

Now we just cant wait to figure out what we are having!!!

THE FINAL WEEK

How far along? 39 weeks We are in the final week ladies and gents!! Maternity clothes? Only a few shirts and a dress. Other than that I just wear leggings, dresses, and some of Michaels shirts. Stretch marks? Not a single one thank goodness! When I was in school I learned in my Anatomy and Physiology class that if you start putting on shay butter/coconut oil(I used the Palmers cocoa butter and sometimes add my 100% coconut essentials oil.) two months before getting pregnant, that it will help your skin loosen and become more elastic. So once we decided to start trying I immediately got some lotion and put it on every other day(or you can put it on everyday). I know that, that is what helped me not get any stretch marks. I cant guarantee it will work for everyone, but what I do know is that if you don't start lotioning your skin early, it for sure will not be ready for the drastic change that is about to happen. Sleep? I have actually

ANNIVERSARY # 3

If I had my life to live over again, I would find you sooner so that I could love you longer. Happy Anniversary Michael. I love you so much. You are my greatest adventure. I couldn't imagine life without you! This is the beautiful rose I came home to after work! My husband truly is the best. Little things like this let me know that he is thinking about. In a marriage I feel it is so vital to let your spouse know in anyway you want, but to just let them know you are thinking of them and that you love them. I made this cutie some yummy breakfast in bed.... .......... After work we headed over to Pizza Pie Cafe in Bountiful. We know its not a typical dinner date for an anniversary, but we LOVE Pizza Pie. They have the best oreo pizza in the world. Seriously though it is one of my favorite places to eat! After our wonderful dinner at Pizza Pie, we headed up the mountain to go shoot our new gun. We had to get ther
