baby and such

So... The other day I was taking to Brooke-Lynn and asked her what she thought I was having.  She promptly told me I was having a baby girl, and that she wanted a baby sissy.  OK that's fine but who told you that?  No one really mom. I just don't want a baby brother I want a baby sissy first and then later I can have a brother.  Sounds good to me but we will have to wait and see.  My wonderful hubby got me a Doppler that came in the mail the other day.  Brooke always wants to hear the baby's heart.  She is soo sweet.  I'm truly blessed.

The joys of pregnancy :)

So I'm almost 13 weeks pregnant :) :)  (on Sunday)  I thought I was past the not feeling good and throwing up part.  I was good from the beginning of the month (January)  until Wednesday.  I had taken my prenatal and a multi vitamin and grabbed a fruit cup on the way out to go to Costco to pick up my contacts which I had been out of since 12/28  well, we got almost to Ely on 45th and I was starting to feel kinda icky, so Dave pulled over, it passed so we went on our way.  We went on and then BAM!!! on my shirt in my purse on my wallet and I on Dave's leather coat.  He is so sweet, I kept saying I was sorry and he said no worries. We went home and I cleaned up and then we went on our way once again.  Good news I got a new cute purse and wallet.  Dave was soo funny, he told me that if I wanted a new purse I just had to ask and not throw up in it.  I'm doing better now but I think I will stay a way from fruit cups for awhile.  I have not had any cravings yet though. 

a look back on 2010 and a look forward to 2011

Last January started out good. Then the end of the month I gave my family quite the scare.  I ended up being taken to the hospital due to an ectopic pregnancy.  I'm of course doing great now.  We had another miscarrage in July, Though our dream came true in November 3 days before Thanksgiving. We found out that we are going to have a baby.  I called my doctor to let him know and he did blood work and everythig was going just dandy.  We had our first appointment December 27, the day before my birthday. We were able to see our little baby dancing on the ultra sound screen.  Our due date is July30 2011.  2010 was a good year now I'm looking forward to what 2011 has in store for us.  We have been doing good at reading our scriptures every night.  I just need to work on journal writing and personal scriptures. 

Things Brooke-Lynn says

So Brooke was at Grandma's house about a week ago, and was asked if she would like some juice. Brooke of course said yes and so my mom got out some tomato juice and Brooke-Lynn promptly replied sorry Grandma my doctor said I can't drink it.  Then just the other night at dinner Dave had a Dr. Pepper and Brooke had apple juice. She looked over at Dave and said my doctor said I can not drink that type of juice. I can only have apple juice. She is so silly.  Saturday night I had put her to bed, and I was cleaning up around the house and I heard her fussing. I went in to check on her and she told me that she was missing her baby sister and baby brother. I told her that we just have to wait and be patient. She told me that it is really hard to wait. I know sweetheart it is hard for me too.  Mommy? Yes Brooke. Grandpa Merrill is taking care of them right? Yes love he is, and when it is their turn they will come and join us.

our Eternal family

On Saturday October 16, 2010 at 2:00 in the afternoon my family became eternal. Nothing can separate us now.  It was the most wonderful tender experience EVER.  I could not help but smile all day knowing that I will always be with my family.  Brooke-Lynn looked just like an angel wearing all white. She loved looking in the mirrors, that went on and on. She and all of us there felt the spirit so strong there that day.   

the temple ;)

David and I were able to go the Columbia River Temple on Saturday the 25th. It was David's first time and my first time going with him. It was AMAZING!! I was waiting waiting for him in the Celestial room, my mom told me it was OK to sit down on a couch and wait for him. There was NO WAY I was going to sit and wait for him, as soon as I saw him I gave him the biggest tightest hug ever. I love that man.  Now we just wait until Saturday October 16 at 2:00pm and then we will be sealed together FOREVER!! YEAH
