Update, although not much of one

Well, as far as baby news goes, my clothes still fit somewhat the same, still sick in the mornings, afternoon and evenings sometimes and hate alot of the foods I once loved. I guess it's just a rite of passage for all us mom's to be. I have to eat something every couple hours otherwise I get really nauseated. So here comes the baby weight everyone talks about :( We are at the half way point to finding out if it's a boy or girl. We both kinda think it's a girl but who know's. Well that's our update. We're trying to find a house to buy before baby comes too. Yay for tax refunds with babies and houses!

First Pix of Baby

We had our first ultra sound on Wednesday and things look ok so far. That's our little guy/girl waving at us and the dark spot is the brain. The fetus is a bit small, about a week or so behind where it should be. We are crossing our fingers everything will go okay. I have to be careful about what I do and exercising and not letting myself get stressed. Both of my mom's pregnancies were high risk and she had to be really careful. It's strange the fetus is smaller than it should be because I've been able to keep food down. I've had my really bad days where I'm puking all day long but I've been really blessed to not be too sick. We're just praying we don't have a miscarriage. We go in in 4 weeks to have another checkup and get some blood drawn for tests. Grow little baby grow!

Merry Chistmas!!!

Enoch and I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas filled with family, love, friends and lots of delicious food :) We'll post some pictures as soon as I can figure out my new camera. MERRY CHIRSTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!

and it begins...

Well nothing new at all yet...except I think I'm getting a bump!!! ALREADY!!! Time for bump pictures....yikes. I was hoping I wouldn't show until 16 weeks but oh well. Everything is moving right along I guess. I had a little bout with morning sickness yesterday morning....oh sooo not fun. I about started crying. I hate puking like no other. I'm going to try a trick I've heard about...eating a small piece of jerky right before bed. But so far it's just been in the morning. My energy levels are all over the place just like my mood swings. One minute I am bouncing through the roof and all giggles and happy, the next I'm about to fall asleep where I'm standing and even the wind makes me cry. They aren't kidding when they say you're an emotional rollercoaster. I think it's about nap time for the next 5 hours.

Still feeling "normal"

So I took my first prenatals yesterday. Before that is was just your average daily vitamin...I'm nervous I'm going to get really sick but I want a healthy baby so if that means puking my guts out, bring it on! What supplements did everyone take? Is there something better or has anyone found anything that doesn't make them so sick? My mom took kelated prenatals and she said that her yucky feelings almost stopped when she started taking those. I'm just so scared of doing something wrong. But I'm almost at 6 weeks and still feel somewhat normal. Except I have to go shopping for...some certain somethings...girls you know what I mean!

Enoch and I looked at baby names for hours last night. We found some...strange ones haha . I love Brayden, Traygen, Bryson, and Jayden. Enoch hates the first 2...his fave right now I think is Brock. For girls, I'm thinking Ashlynn Michelle Bowler or Madison or Chloe. We're trying to pick names that won't set our baby up for being picked on later.

First Dr. Visit

I had my first pre-natal visit with one of my Dr's midwives a couple days ago to have some of my questions answered and stuff. I kept her busy for more than an hour! I had so many questions about food, nutrition, working out, lotions, chemicals and cleaning the house, morning sickness and tons more. I'm officially 5 weeks along :) When I asked her about morning sickness and when most girls get it she said between 4-6 weeks. Since I don't feel any sort of nausea at all, she said I might luck out and not have all those problems. I just have to last another week and I think I'm in the clear. That would be so great! No puking at all hours of the night and day...I got a pregnancy book and a little booklet showing pictures of the developing baby. Our first ultrasound to hear the heartbeat is Jan 7. We're so excited!! I suppose Dr. Meredith is going to check growth and try to determine when we will be able to find out if it's a boy or girl. I got a flu shot too. Don't want to be getting the flu! It looks like things are good as far as birth defects are concerend. We don't have any history of any sort on either side and there haven't been many miscarriages. I'm still nervous about a miscarriage but I'm just going to do my best to stay healthy and keep my stress levels to a minimum. My mother in law had a couple so I was told it's possible that it could happen but since my mother's side of the family has hardly any, I should be in the clear but I should still be very careful about stressful situations and keeping my body as calm and close to normal as possible. HA! Normal? While pregnant??? REALLY???

We're Pregnant!!

So after feeling a bit off for a week and then some and complaining to Enoch about a few things, we decided I should take a pregnancy test. 1st one was positive...so a few tests later and all saying positive, Enoch and I proudly announce WE'RE PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!! After a year I finally have a little poppy seed growing in my belly. We are so ecstatic!! Looks like the due date will be late Aug/ early Sept. My first doctors visit is to a prenatal specialist on Wednesday. And then after that, the quintessential 8 week visit. I'm so nervous! Enoch is totally chill but I'm freaking out! I don't want to do anything wrong!! But we are really excited and just want to share this with everyone! Will we keep plenty of updates don't worry.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Thanksgiving this year was pretty much like last year...Dinner at the in laws, bowling afterwards. But my lil sis was able to come up from Provo to hang out with us for a few days. We had a blast! I missed her so much and it was so good to see her. She got here Wed night and we went to Gringo's and just chilled. The next day, we all went shooting and Enoch was such a big bro with her. It was really cute. He's going to make such a good dad! We went to dinner after that and stuffed ourselves with such good food, 2 turkeys, 2 kinds of stuffing, snickers salad, jello!! loaded sweet potatos, turkey walnut salad, fresh rolls, apple, pumpkin and cherry cheesecake pies....oh it was so so good. Friday we took advantage of Black Friday sales. It was great. Some new shirts and boots for me and my sis now has a good winter wardrobe since she didn't really have any long sleeved shirts. We had a blast. We came home and went with Enoch's brothers wife to see Quantum of Solace. Not too bad.

My sister with a pistol was kinda scary. She finally hit a bowling pin from 30 yds and started jumping around and waving the pistol around. I about hit the deck. Enoch was about to tackle her...she gets a bit too distracted when shooting, not such a good thing. Can't forget you're holding a loaded gun and your finger is still on the trigger...it was a bit of an adrenaline rush but not in a good way. Kenna lou I love you but be careful darlin.

Friday night we decorated our tree and I gotta say I think we did a pretty good job. Decided to go with silver for the theme this year. Yay Walmart! I miss my sis. She left this morning but it was so good to spend time with family. It's nice to have her so close. My poor parents are going through empty next syndrome and it's killing my poor mom. Enoch's parents are like, everyone just graduate and get married. Now it's a race to see who gets pregnant first.

Happy Birthday Enoch! 25!

Enoch turned the big 2-5 today. As he would say he's halfway to 30. We just did something simple tonight. I arranged a little dinner at Gringo's for his close friends and his family. It was really nice all of us being able to sit and talk and just have fun. I'll never be able to come close to what Enoch did for my birthday. I forgot my camera too so I didn't get any pictures! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ENOCH!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Also my lil sis turned 18 today. Kinda cool they have the same birthday. But HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIL SIS!!!! Quit getting so grown up! Love you!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Wishing everyone a fun and safe Halloween!!!
