1rst Ultra Sound

We originally went into see the doctor just so that I could get a refill on my prescription for Zofran. However Doctor Young said "why don't we just take a look and see what we can find." I'm glad that he did because it made it more real to me to see there really was something there. He said we looked about six weeks along so there wasn't much to see but he showed us were the baby was on the picture. I am so excited.

The Emergency Room

Not long after we found out I was pregnant I started feeling sick. I have been moving from one sickness to the next. Some days I feel nausea's other days I'm throwing up and some days my stomach hurts from hunger but nothing sounds good. Chris has been a good sport, although its frustrating he still runs to the store for me whenever I think of something I want that we don't have or if we do have it he is good at getting up and getting it for me and making me meals. I'm so grateful for a husband that's so willing to take care of me. So I had been throwing up for almost two days straight and I was so tired because I hadn't been able to sleep for a long time. Eventually I was just dry heaving. It was about four in the morning and Chris called his mom because neither of us knew what to do. She suggested that we go to the Emergency Room. So we did, although the hospital is only five minutes away it felt like one of the longest rides of my life. We finally got inside. When we got in the room the doctor asked me a few questions and then said is there anything I can do for you right now and I said "if you wanna leave the room I can throw up". They got me attached to an IV  so I was getting fluids back into my body. Then they put some Zofran into the IV so that I could keep it down. As soon as it started working my stomach started hurting really bad because now I could feel the hunger that my body needed from not eating for two days. We had been there for about 2 or 3 hours and they said that I could go home.

The rest of the month was off and on of my sicknesses. Zofran stopped helping me feel better and it was very unpredictable. It took me awhile but I figured out that it was my prenatal pills that were making me stay sick. Now that it is the end of the month I feel the best that I have felt in a long time.

Crazy Day

Today was a crazy day. We spent the night at my parents because were going to their ward in the morning. My cousin Jordan got back from his mission to Washington. Its so cool to have him back. He had a great talk, Hayden braught a friend who has been struggling with her testimony with the church. I really felt the spirit with Jordans talk, great job JR. When church was over we went to the Yates house for the lunch in.

When we finished socializing and what not Chris and I left to go to Aubris first birthday party. It was so cute. We got there just in time to see her finish opening her presents. Then we got to see the cute cake that Tara made and see Aubri dig into it. At first she was shy but she got into it after a bit.

We got home and Chris kept saying can I go get a pregnancy test for you, I really feel like you are. So he did and I took it when he got back. To my surprise it was positive. We had been trying to get pregnant for almost 9 months. It had been one of the hardest trials I had had in a long time. I coudnt believe it was finally happeneing. So of course we drove back out to my parents. I was pretty sad that my dad was out of town but I knew I would spill the beans if I didnt tell my mom right then. Our plan was to put a present on the door and doorbell ditch them. It had two shirts and the pregnancy test with a card. It seemed nobody was home so we went threw the garage. Stockton was down stairs and mom wasnt home yet.

So we just set it on the counter knowing that was the first place she would see when she came inside. Hayden came home and still no mom. Both boys were weirded out that we were still there but I didnt tell them. I promised mom she would be the first to know. Mom finally came home so Chris and I went onto the deck to watch her reaction threw the window. First she saw the card infront of the present, then she peaked inside. She saw the test and already knew it was us. She quickly opened the letter and started to cry. She grabbed her phone and started to call us but we knocked at the deck door. She gave me a huge hug. The two shirts in the bag said "call me grandma" /grandpa. The boys came in and heard so we immediatly called dad. He guess right when I said guess what daddy. Mom insisted that we go tell my grandparents.  We went into their room and and I pulled out the test and said you may want to see this. Grandma gave me a big hug and behind her I could see grandpa start to cry. Everyone knew we had been trying for awhile so they were super happy for us. We didnt want to tell anyone else until the family christmas party. However as we were leaving I could see my mom walking down with her grandma shirt on to tell Teri. I told her our idea and she said " but I already have my shirt on" so we let her. Then she went up to the Yates to show them so we followed. It was pretty cool to see all of our support. A few days later we decided to call all of Chriss family because apparently my grandma already told Uncle Bobby when they went to get his truck. We told everyone that we didnt want to find out from someone else. Im just glad that its finally happening. I hope I am a good mom.

Shooting

My brothers spent the night because were all going shooting. It was lots of fun to go shooting with my family. There was dad, Hayden, Stockton, Sarah, Jordan, Ron, Asia, Uncle Chris, Grandpa, and us. First we just shoot and trash around the area. We took turns using guns. After we did that we threw clay pigeons and shoot at them. I was actually really impressed with Chriss shot with a rifle. He hit most of his clay pigeons. For those willing to try, Jordan and me threw two at a time and they would try to hit both. It was lots of fun.

Thanxgiving

Today is thanxgiving. We went to Bobbys house to eat with the whole family. The food was so good. After we finished eating Elisa was dieing to do a craft project with everyone. We were making snowman with candy canes and snowflackes. It was pretty fun but I think half of us got burnt by the hot glue. They turned out cute though.

Later that day we went to Taras house to eat pie. We doing family pictures tomorrow with my family so my brothers came to sleep over. So they were there at Taras. I love pie, they had like and oreo cream pie, so good. Cordell and I became closer friends tonight. We went from a 6 to a 9 when he farted. It was funny because he was asking if it was ok and I was like, if you only knew who you were talking to. When we got home we played Halo. Chris went to bed after awhile but we stayed up all night, it was pretty fun.

3rd Year Anniversary

We have a whole week of for our anniversary. Im so excited to spend some time with Chris. We decided just to stay home and be together. However my lovely parents gave us a free night at a hotel for taking Ranaes pictures. So we used it the night of our anniversary. Before we went to the hotel we went to the Jordan Commons to watch Wracked Ralph. It was such a cute movie, when it was over we checked into the hotel. It was pretty nice, I really liked the shower, it was big. Later that night we went to City Creek mall. Chris has been dieing to go. We walked into the sports stores of course. We saw the Disney store and went in. We went in and Chris came up with an idea that we had to pick something to give to the other under $20. We would surprised eachother in the car. At first I didnt want to because Im cheap but I decided to be a good sport and do it anyway. When we finished we went back to the car. He gave me mine and I gave him his. He got me Animal from the Muppets, I got him Squirt from Finding Nemo. It was super cute, great idea Chris. We went back to the hotel and watched movies. In the morning we got up and ate breakfast. It was pretty good.

The next day we went to Jack and Jills Bowling in Lehi. It was pretty fun even though neither of us did very well. I won one and Chris won one. We were pretty even as far as fairness goes. I saw some kids that I went to High School with. It was pretty funny.

Homecoming

Today is my grandparents homecoming talks. Stockton is also going to talk at their homecoming. I love hearing my family speak. Stockton spent the night and we talked about his talk. It was cool to hear it presented though. He did a great job on his talk. After him was my grandma followed by my grandpa. It was cool to hear about their experiences on their mission. They worked really hard out there. Im excited to do that with Chris on day. After that we went to my dads lesson. I love learning on parenting. After that we went to my parents, they were having a lunch in for them there. There was a lot of people that I see at family reunions. After awhile of socializing me, Ranae, and Sarah went into my parents room to have more private conversations. I dont think I can say enough how much I love my family. We have some good talks in there. Eventually the day ended and Chris and I headed home.

Brick Oven

Today we went to Brick Oven for my aunt Teris birthday. It was also the first time that I will see my grandparents back from their mission. It was fun to have them, my parents, all my aunts and uncles, plus Ranae, Samuel, and Stockton all together. They had an all you can eat pizza deal so most of us got that. It was funny not even half way through the meal the waitress pointed out that Troy was the trouble maker in the family. So true, we all had a good laugh. They also came out and sang to Teri awhile she was standing on a chair. I love my family and it was so nice to see my grandparents again. I have missed them so much.
