THE FIRST TRIMESTER

My first 3 months of pregnancy went by so fast. It probably had a lot to do with us moving and spending a lot of our time packing and playing in the sun as much as we could before heading towards rainy Oregon.

I was also very blessed with good health.

I have been lucky enough to miss all the first trimester sicknesses you hear about.

The only thing that has sounded gross to me is sweets.

Candy

Baked goods

Soda

you name it, it all sounded gross to me.

Which I guess is a blessing!

All I wanted to eat was fruit, pasta, & pizza.

They weren't true craving though, just whenever I would try to think of what I wanted to eat it was always fruit in my head first.

I hope it stays that way the rest of my pregnancy because I could definitely handle that!

Because of moving to Oregon we have not been able to go to the doctors on a regular basis because of the whole switching insurance stuff, which is fine because it is only the first trimester, but we were bummed not to be able to get more ultra sounds and see our sweet baby.

here are the ultra sounds we were able to get.

This first picture is a little over 1 month.

The baby is getting bigger!

This picture is at about 2 and a half months

No bump quite yet, but I wanted to have some before pictures of my belly before it get huge!

The first trimester consists of the 1st-12th weeks

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 an...

THINGS I LOVE

I feel it is so important to fall in love with as many things as we can, but to also fall in love with as many people as we can. As I have gotten older I have started to love things I did not care about when I was younger. I have grown to appreciate what my Heavenly Father has given to me on this Earth. and I have learned that when you love, you serve others. Which is the pure love of Christ... and that is what will bring true happiness into your world. I am going to make a list throughout my life of things that I have fallen in love with. I want to be remembered as someone who loved everything and everyone. I want my kids to be able to know what I loved and that serving and loving everything is one of the greatest gifts we have to become truly happy in this world. .......... Things I Love: -My Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ -The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints -Michael Nelson, the greatest husband EV...

Super Bowl

For the Super Bowl this year we are tagging a long with Ben and Rachel and headed to Rachel's mom's house in Heber for the weekend. On Saturday we went to the Ice Castles that were in Midway, which touches Heber, so we decided it would be a good idea to go because towns get selected to host the Ice Castles and this is the 3rd time midway was selected, so we thought we better go because it might not come back again. Once we got there we had to hop into a huge line that did go pretty fast but while we were waiting there were some guys juggling fire torches and also two guy carving ice sculptures, the two they was working on were the seattle Seahawk's hawk and the Denver Bronco's Bronco. I was really cool to watch. Once we got in to the Ice Castle we were frozen, we definitely did not dress right for the weather and we went at night so it was even more cold, but it was so cool because they had lights shinning on the ice and it would change different colors too. Here ar...
