Feeling better

Just wanted to let everyone know I am feeling much better. The doctor says it was a viral infection I probably caught from one of the kids in nursery. I'm supposed to stay away from nursery for a couple weeks, which will be easy since this weekend is general conference and next weekend is Easter. My labs all came back fine and the baby is great. We are going on Thursday April 5th to find out the sex (we changed the date) Seth says he knows what is it, but he won't tell me. So, I told him to write it down, seal it in an envelope and we'll open it after the appointment to see if he was right.
Mom (Kathy) is flying into Utah tonight so we will get to spend some time with her this weekend. I am really excited! Then my parents come in on Monday and Nicky on Wednesday. It's going to be a busy/crazy next 10 days but I'm so happy to have family coming!
Seth's has been busy working and any spare time he gets he goes and works on his motorcycle with Eli. It's really coming along nice. It will hopefully be ready in a couple weeks. They are down to the small details and then painting. We both registered for summer classes. Seth is taking 9 credits and will still be working full time. I am taking 15 credits and will not be working. Since it's summer the semester is only 7 1/2 weeks long. We are both crazy to take that much but we would like to have our associates before we move. Seth will also be taking 2 independent study classes because the classes are not offered during the summer. So, he plans to finish those before the baby comes so he will have his degree. I'm so proud of him. He works so hard and studies so hard. He is a great man! Well, I guess that's it. I will post some big belly pictures soon.

12 weeks

Well, I'm 12 weeks along. My pants are definately getting tighter and I'm starting to get a bigger belly:) I love it! We are going on April 9th to find out the sex of the baby, we are so excited! Other than that nothing too exciting is going on. We are going to Las Vegas on April 22nd. We got a really good price on a room at the Excalibur hotel, with a view of the strip. We're only going for one night, but we're hoping to make a detour to the Grand Canyon along the way. Well, that's it for today. Here's the most recent picture of me at 12 weeks.....

Heartbeat

OK, so we just got back from hearing the heartbeat for the first time, it was amazing!!! At first the Dr couldn't find the heartbeat, so instead of searching for it he just did an ultrasound and we heard it right away!! It was great! We did tape a little bit of it. The first video you can hear the heartbeat and see the baby moving around. The second video is mostly of the baby, you can't hear the heartbeat that well but Seth did get a nice close up of my face! The Dr. also gave us a picture of the baby and I will post that-it is a picture of a picture so it's not the greatest quality but it's the best we can do right now:) The baby was moving around so much, it was crazy to see. At one point we got a great view of his/her head. It was really big and I made a joke that he/she has Seth's head;)The Dr said everything looks great and we go back in 4 weeks for my next check up. I am so happy to hear the heartbeat, it is finally starting to feel real to me! I can't believe Seth and I created a life, it's such an amazing thing! Well, I have so many emotions that I just can't even begin to explain. Today is a good day and we are so happy to have this baby:)








P.S. No that's not showing it's a boy, that's just the umbilical cord;)
