Cold Season

Not much has been new. Eddy and I have both been working and going to school just waiting for Bodhi to come. I have been sick on and off for about the past month catching all the different colds that are going around. Bodhi has been moving lots and we both enjoy feeling him kick.

Exciting things are coming up this March. I am going through the temple for the first time March 13th and then March 17th Eddy and I are being sealed! All my family is coming out to be here for it so we are also having the baby shower while they are here. I am really excited to spend time with my family, Courtney, and Nevaeh. It will be a nice break from working and going to school all the time.

I will post again when something notable happens:)

Bodhi and Christmas Updates

We had another doctors appointment today. We went over the ultra sound with the doctor. Everything looks good and healthy. Little Bodhi is a little small at this point weighing about a half pound. The doctor said that he will probably be born around 7 lbs. which would be nice for me:) We also found out according to our ultra sound that the baby's due date is actually May 21st which is my 21st birthday! Of course this does not mean that he will be born then but I have a feeling he will be.

We had a nice relaxing vacation in Nebraska with my family over Christmas. We received a lot of cute things for Bodhi and fun things for ourselves. The break was spent watching movies, playing scrabble and phase 10, and eating lots of yummy food with my family. I was really sad to leave and miss them already. They really just need to move out here;)

IT'S A BOY!!

We went for our ultra sound on Monday and found out that we are having a boy! I had a feeling that it was a boy. We are very excited to know for sure that we are having little Bodhi. It was so cool to actually see my little boy inside my tummy. I could've watched for hours he was so active at the time the doctor had a hard time getting all the pictures she needed. It was amazing to see him moving inside me!! Only about 5 more months left. We can hardly wait.

Tomorrow we leave for Nebraska to have Christmas with my family. We are driving out with my Aunt Rhaelene, two of her children, and my brothers. It should be a fun drive:) I am really excited to see my family again so soon and just have the time off with Eddy. Life has been so hectic working to make up for the time that I had off after I lost my job.

I have currently found a parttime job at the First Baptist Child Care Center. They take children from ages 4 weeks old up until they go to kindergarten. It is like many daycares but has a very well structured curriculum. I really enjoy working there the other teachers are great and the children are so much fun. Sadly it does not necessarily pay the best and it is parttime. So I am still searching for something a bit more stable. I am hoping that possibly after the baby is born or if something opens up fulltime there that I will be able to stay there.

Well that is about all for now! There will definitely be updates after Christmas and with more developments with the baby.

2nd Doctor's appointment

So I didn't post after our last doctors appointment mainly because I have been so busy. The day before my last doctors appointment, November 19th, I was laid off of my job due to financial issues and them not being able to support all their employees. That has been a big bummer due to the fact that I have been there for almost three years, it is the best job for going to school, and being pregnant. So now two weeks later I still have not found a job that will support us the same way. I am picking up extra shifts at Applebee's but that is no fun working there while being pregnant. To go along with all that it is the end of the semester and I have been swamped with end of the semester projects and so on. This semester has been extremely difficult and I am not so sure how well I did:(

Besides all that we are doing pretty well. We are making it by paying all our bills. My family was just in town for Thanksgiving and that was so much fun to spend time with them and the two little girls they have taken in. We went to the zoo, the temple to see the lights, shopping, and so much more. Playing with those little girls makes me so sad for them if they do have to return to their home. It also makes me so excited for when our baby comes!! My last doctor appointment went well. We heard the heartbeat again this time much louder. Our next appointment is the 18th and then on the 22nd we find out the gender of the baby... cross your fingers for a boy;) We are both very anxious to find out the gender. We are very lucky to have gotten so many donations from family and friends that we already have a stroller, carseat, crib, playpen with bassinet and diaper changing station, and lots of cute clothes and blankets! With all the struggles going on lately we have been very lucky to have our family around to help:)

I will try to be more prompt with updating after our next doctors appointments so we can share with everyone the exciting news of the baby's gender!!

First Doctors Appointment

Today was our first doctors appointment. I really like my nurse midwife she was really nice and excited for us. We got to hear the baby's heartbeat. She had a hard time finding it at first but once she found it, it was loud and strong. Our next appointment is November 20th and we are really hoping to find out the gender of the baby then!

Besides baby stuff I have been super busy and stressed out with school. I have had so many projects and midterms all at once! We mostly spend our time with our favourite people, Katie, Travis, and my brothers, playing Halo and going to movies.

We have found a two bedroom apartment in our complex and signed the papers for it yesterday. We get to move next weekend! We are very excited since this apartment is over twice the size of the one we are in now. It will be much easier to hold our Sunday evening Halo sessions and have friends and family over.

Halloween is also next weekend and I am so excited! I love this time of year. The weather, the leaves falling, the food, holidays, and fun things to do! Ed has not decided on what he wants to dress up as so any ideas let us know... I was going to dress up as the wicked witch of the East by making a house out of a cardboard box and then wearing striped stockings and red shoes. Although I just have not had the time and energy to make a house out of a box. So I am now falling back on just being a witch. We get to dress up for a ward Halloween party, my work party, and then this year we are having our first annual Halloween Halo Party at Harrison and Tarrant's. We are all going to dress up have good food, give out candy, watch some movies, and play some Halo late into the night!

Next month my family is coming out for Thanksgiving. I am soo excited to see them I miss them so much. They are also bringing out the little girls that are living with them which will be really fun. We are going to do some baby shopping!!

So that is really all that is going on now. We will update you on our next doctors appointment if not sooner:)

Exciting Update!!

So life has been very busy lately, Eddy and I have both been working two jobs and going to school. Then about two and a half weeks ago we found out that I am pregnant! We were not planning on having a baby for at least a year or two so it was a big shock and it took us awhile to get excited about it but we are starting to really get excited and preparing for it. We think we will be due sometime mid May and will be keeping everyone updated:)

Other than that I guess nothing else is really worth reporting...
