So I am 17 weeks along now. I had another healthy Dr. appt a few days ago. Baby's heart rate was down to 165. Pretty healthy kid! I scheduled my ultrasound for next month and John and I are very excited to find out if we are having a boy or a girl! I am no longer spending most of my time in the bathroom thanks to a wonderful little drug called Zophran. I feel partially normal again. I am having a hard time at this point in my pregnancy because I don't have a prego belly yet, so it just looks like I am getting chubby around the middle, but I have been told that once I get my belly I will really miss my waist! I haven't felt the baby move at this point (that I know of) but am expecting to feel the first flutters any day now. Thanks for all of your well wishes so far! Until next time....

I pretty much just look fat, not pregnant yet. That lump sticking out over my pants wasn't there a month ago. I have gained three pounds in the last 4 weeks and about 4 overall, all in my waist. John and I had a doctor appt the other day(hence the trendy tape on my arm from lab work) and our little one had a healthy heart rate of 173 beats per minute. We were overwhelmed with emotion when we heard the little heartbeat. John heard it before I did and I was really worried that I wouldn't hear it. My morning sickness hasn't gone anywhere yet. I have been told that the 2nd trimester is a lot better. We shall see. Next time you see me I will be even more of a tub.

Speaking of birthdays...John turned the big 32 a couple months ago. LOOK AT ALL THAT SMOKE! Good thing he has a hot young wife!

John and I are having so much fun with our puppies. They are just about 9 months now and I can't believe how big they are! They keep us laughing every day and they are great practice for our future family that we will have someday!

I can't believe it has been over a year since I have updated this site!!! I am horrible at this! Well, I have many fun adventures coming up in the next couple months so, I will make sure to add some pictures to this site as soon as I can! This picture was taken last month when my friends took me out for a birthday night!

Another picture of the perfect day....

This was the happiest day of our lives. We had finally found each other.

Who allowed the bridesmaids to look as good or better than the bride????!!!???

Due to the overwhelming request for more wedding photos...here are a couple. The coloring on this one was great. This picture was taken on the big grass hill in front of the Los Angeles temple. It is a good thing that John did not drop me. Otherwise I would have shown up at the reception with grass stains all over my dress from rolling down the hill.

Welcome to our blog (short for weblog). We hope that we can use this blog to update you on our lives here in the thriving town of Clarkston, WA. We have been married for about 4 1/2 months and have been enjoying the beginning of our eternity together.
