30 Weeks

My AMAZING SISTER took some shots when I was visiting her! LOVE her lots!

     I am beyond excited to meet our little Brooklyn Sherie! She is moving like crazy inside of me, which is a great sign. I love that she moves it reassures me that she is strong and alive!:)
     I am currently craving cheese of any kind like queso and chips and cheese balls along with peanut butter! I can not get enough peanut butter! It was cute for Christmas my mother-in-law put peanut butter in my stocking. It's almost gone! 
     We are going in today for our doctors appointment which are going to start being every 2 weeks now. It is getting so close and both Ethan and I are so excited and also terrified to be parents. We are just about done getting everything we need. We just purchased our running stroller and car seat, the only other big thing we need is a crib, which we are working on. The rest is just diapers, wipes, and little things that we just don't know we need yet. 
     I am still able to run a few miles. Which is very nice. It takes a lot out, but since I am not working anymore it helps me feel like I am doing something good. 
     As for now that is all the pregnancy updates. We are so excited and ready for this new adventure in our lives! She has already brought so much joy in our lives!

    

We are preggers!

That's right folks, come March 1, 2013 we will hopefully have a cute little baby in our arms. We are currently about 12 and 1/2 weeks. When we first found out it was a little bit of a shock. In fact we had to take 6 tests to finally convince me that we were pregnant. It is not that we weren't excited, cause we are thrilled. Just more that I am due in the middle of my last semester and Ethan will still be teaching. And I always planned on my mom being there to help. So being pregnant scares me a little. Will I be able to do it? How will I be able to do it? After multiple freakouts that my poor husband dealt with, I kinda had a day that really helped me. Ethan took me to the temple for a date night. When I was waiting at the end, it came to my mind that I am due just about a year after my mom passed. Coincidence? For some other people it might be. But for me I feel like it is not. I know my mom. She has helped to send us a little Spirit. I know she is also very excited for us. I just had the most peaceful feeling that everything was going to be alright. I have an amazing sister, and sister-in-laws, mother-in-law, and aunts. We are going to make this work. I am still going to finish my schooling. Ethan, will save up as many as his sick days as he can so he will be there too. It was really real to us when we heard the heartbeat and saw our little baby.This is real. Something is growing inside of me. We are going to be parents!!! Ethan has been so great. He has put up with the nausea, vomiting, emotional moods, tiredness, cravings, and everything else that I have experienced. As for now, all we need is the nausea to go away! We are beyond thrilled, and we will post more through out the pregnancy.
