Today has been a pretty good Fathers Day. Jordan is happy with his new copy of Ghostbusters for PS3 and he got some yummy treats from Sean, Brynn and the kids. We gave my dad a gift card for Sizzlers which he was way excited about, he loves Sizzlers. Then we went to Sean and Brynn's for a yummy Fathers Day dinner. Jayson brought Richard and Jessica (I think that was her name, first time I've met her) and Marlei was there too. It was so nice to see Marlei again, I've missed her a lot. We gave Robert a gift card to the Provo movie theater, we know he likes movies. It was really nice to be there as a family and enjoy the holiday together. It makes me grateful that we can easily spend it with both our families. We had cake and icecream to celebrate Marlei's birthday and it seemed like everyone had a really nice time.
Thank you Sean and Brynn so much for planning it and inviting us, we had a lot of fun!

17 week appointment
I saw the doctor again on Monday this week. We didn't get an ultrasound but we did finally get to hear the heartbeat and it was AMAZING! Jordan laughs at me because I'm always scared that we're going to get to the doctor's office and something freaky will happen...like the baby just won't be there anymore. I have all these silly fears and worries and I know they're unrealistic but I can't help it lol. We scheduled our next appointment in July which....drumroll please....is the BIG ONE. I'm so excited I can barely stand it. I feel like we've been waiting forever to find out what we're having and now that I'm on the last stretch...it's totally exhilarating. We haven't bought any bedding or decor for our nursery yet because we want it to be gender specific. I'm not doing any of this gender neutral crap. This baby is special and deserves to have a room decked out in it's honor. I have so many plans and I'm so excited. I love it when Jordan takes me to the baby stores to look at stuff.
We went to Burlington yesterday so I could show him a chair that I want. It's almost $400 so I don't know if it will work out, but it's at the end of my list since I already have a glider that my dad bought me. I'm actually so grateful to my mom and dad, they've already bought ALL of my baby furniture and I can't tell you what a relief it is to take those items off our list of needs. It's so great to have loving parents that can help. They're both so excited to be grandparents.
Anyway...we're at Burlington and they totally had the swing that I want. It was nice for Jordan to actually see it and examine it for himself. Up until then we'd only seen it online. It's the Gracco Sweetpeace Newborn Soothing Center. It's a pretty cool swing. I already have my travel system picked out, it's made by Babytrend. Jordan wanted to look at a few others and found a couple that he liked but the pros of my Babytrend selection won out. I really don't think we'll find something better because the one I've picked is AMAZING.
We've started to plan baby showers a little bit more. I know it's early but it's better to have it figured out now than to be running around like a bunch of crazies in September because we totally dropped the ball. I LOVE baby showers! They've always been my favorite and when it comes to shopping for gifts....baby gifts have always been my greatest love. I'm excited that I finally get to go to a shower that's for me. I love the games and I love sharing that time with family members that love and care about you.
I have one small dilemma right now, which I actually figured out but here it is....I wanted to send out really cute announcements to let people know what we're having, but when we find out we're gonna be so excited and we're just going to want to call everybody. Plus, I'm pretty sure they aren't going to want to wait for something in the mail when we can just tell them. So I'm thinking I'll send out announcements when the baby is born, complete with pics and stats.
I think that will work better. I figure it's easier to even just visit family since they live so close, and tell them in person.
Sure glad I don't live someplace like....I dunno....Logan. It's nice to be close to family.

16 weeks and 4 days...
I'm moving along in my pregnancy fairly well but I still feel so sick! Jordan has been such a trooper and I'm so glad but some days I feel like I've hit my limit and I'm just miserable. I left my first trimester feeling pretty good for about two weeks and then it was like my morning sickness came back in full force. It's changed in the fact that it is now worse in the morning than any other time of day....but I still gag on everything throughout the day. I am doing better with foods, I'm at a point where I can crave something and actually be able to eat it so that's a plus. It's going to be while before I go to KFC, they're commercials are totally grossing me out! I can't even look at them anymore. I have this new thing where all of a sudden I get really dizzy and I have to sit down because I feel like I'm going to faint.
I think I struggle the most with being sick alone. Jordan is working graveyards because it makes more money and he actually likes it better than working the day shift. I am so proud of him for working so hard. However, his schedule has been really hard on me. He's been working four nights out of the week lately and obviously that means I sleep alone. I try to call him before I go to sleep so I can say goodnight. He's there when I wake up but I have to be very quiet not wake him up. I feel bad anytime I have to turn on the lamp so some days I'll just go upstairs and lounge in my pajamas until he wakes up.....feeling extremely gross and lazy which usually ends in a bad day.
He doesn't usually wake up until two or three after a night of work and to keep his schedule consistent he tries to stay up late on his nights off too. He'll go to bed around three and wake up around noon or one the next morning. It's nice having him next to me on those nights, but it's still not the same and I still have to be quiet and respectful in the mornings. And I have to say that being so sick in the mornings is really hard. I want to wake him up and cry and tell him all of my frustrations but then I know I'm being selfish and I can't do that. I have a hard time at work and I struggle with the decision to quit everyday. I think my problem is that quitting will be like losing. I'm already feeling insufficient as a wife because some days it takes all my energy just to shower and I'm not making very much money at work.
I know that these aren't the first sacrifices we'll ever have to make and I try to look at this as one big long training session to see how well Jordan and I can adjust. I really try not to complain because I'm still so excited and so grateful to be pregnant. I'm excited to see my doctor next week because I'm hoping he can pull something out of his sleeve and help me to not be so sick. I'm working on my financial aid and I'm going to register for school this week. I'm both excited and nervous but I think things will work out.
We're so close to finding out what we're having, I think if I can make it to that point maybe I won't mind so much when I gag.

Salt Lake City...magical wonderland?
I had the craziest dream last night and it left me feeling so weird when I woke up this morning, I thought I would document it....on my blog. This is for everyone's enjoyment and I hope not their judgement (I've had some pretty weird dreams in my day) and I'd also like to note that I did not take my Unisom last night. I was sleeping drug free!
It started in Provo and my family was getting ready for a trip to Salt Lake for a concert. I decided to go along so I wouldn't be alone. We arrived in the city and parked the car in some random lot and decided we would walk to our destination. Well, as we're walking through town, we notice that there is a huge celebration going on. There are stands everywhere selling food, there are men on stilts, lots of toy stores and game shops...it was almost like a circus. We seperate and I meet up with Jordan, I'm totally thrilled because I didn't know he was going to be there. He's all decked out in this really nice tux and his hair is all wavy and perfect...totally dreamy right? He has this gorgeous dress for me and tells me to put it on or we're gonna be late. I pop into a clothing store to use their changing room and the next thing I know, my hair is perfect, my make up is stunning, and my dress is to die for.
I take Jordan's hand and we continue to walk into the heart of Salt Lake. We pass a few streets and before long, we can hear music and laughter. We come around a corner and there's a freaking parade! I lean in to Jordan and tell him, "Wow, we came just in time for a huge celebration. I wonder what the occasion is?" He just shrugs his shoulders, clearly he doesn't know or care. Then this little old lady laughs and says to me, "This is Salt Lake dear, we have parade's every weekend."
Really? I thought Salt Lake was this big dangerous city and turns out...it's a total magical wonderland. I couldn't believe it was like that every weekend, but I don't question it because it's so real. I'm just impressed and I tell Jordan, "I want to live here."
We arrive at this huge building that is totally white and almost sacred looking. We walk inside and it's all red carpet and soft music. Everyone else is dressed as if they're going to a ball. We walk into a huge banquet room where there are hundreds of people seated around a massive fireplace. Jordan and I take our seats and wait for the show to begin.
It turns out we're there to witness a demon execution. And nobody thinks this is weird, we're in the heart of SLC and apparantly demon executions are pretty common. Everyone is pretty somber and waiting patiently to perform their duty as witness. After visiting and chatting with those seated around us, the lights in the room go down indicating they're about to start. The flames in the giant fireplace leap almost to the cealing and the Judge steps out. He was an angel but he was not pretty....more terrifying actually. He looked like the egyptian god Ra and had flames leaping all over his body. He was huge! There was a massive desk set just in front of the fireplace and that's where he took his seat.
There was a loud commotion down the hall and we knew they were bringing the demons in. We could see them through the wall and they were even more terrifying than the Judge. Some of them had animal legs and pumpkin heads and red glowing eyes. They were fierce and we knew they meant business. They had no place in this magical city and we were there to send them to hell.
They were almost in the room with us, being ushered one at a time when one broke loose and started to tear down the walls. The whole building shook and Jordan grabbed my hand really hard and said, "We have to get out of here, now." I was terrified and so confused. But then I realized we weren't there to be witnesses at all, we were there to be sacrifices. We were there to die. Jordan and I bolted from the room, opposite from where the demons were fighting to get in. We couldn't go downstairs and out the front because all the exits were blocked by soldiers. We ran to the nearest window and jumped down onto a lower landing, where we were then able to jump to the ground.
Jordan wouldn't let go of my hand and nearly dragged me through the streets we were running so hard. The city was no longer colorful and joyous, it was all dark and black and looked like a wasteland. We hit a neighborhood of homes and we knew there was a demon on our tails. Jodran was frantic. He said if we could find one home willing to let us in, we'd be safe. We finally found one with the lights still on and we knocked anxiously on their door. A woman opened the door and cheerfully invited us in. They were celebrating a birthday and there was balloons and cake. We walked inside and watched her close the door, still terrified.
A few moments later there was a knock and we watched in horror as she let the demon inside. He was so big and so menacing, I cowered where I stood....too scared to move at all. I could hear Jordan behind me saying, "Don't look at him. Just look at me and think about how much you love me." So I stared at him, even though I could feel the demon leaning over me...ready to take me...I didn't look away from Jordan's handsome face. And then it was over. The demon was gone and I knew we had survived because of our love for each other.
At his point my alarm goes off and I wake up thinking....what the crap?! I had been squeezing my fists so hard both my hands were totally numb. Jordan woke up and asked me if I was okay, I just told him I had a scary dream and started to get ready for work.
Pretty creepy huh?

Cooper's latest kill....
My family has this cat named Cooper that we got from Taraleigh years ago. We absolutely love him, he's a total crack up. He has so much attitude and personality. As much as we love him, we always cringe when the weather warms up and summer enters its reign. That's when hunting season starts.....for the cat. We're a little surprised that he can still hunt so well because he doesn't have claws on his front two feet. It doesn't seem to hamper him at all. We've had all kinds of horror stories over the years. He likes to bring his victims inside the house so he can show off his mad hunting skills. Sometimes the poor critters are dead....but more often, they're not.
We've spent hours on more than one occasion, trying to catch live birds and get them out of the house...Cooper watching proudly the whole time. We've gone through innumerable amounts of screams and squeals trying to get live snakes out of the house....and don't even get me started on mice. Here's a little info on his latest catch.....
Jordan and I are in our bedroom and he's getting ready for work. I close the door so he can change and then we end up laying on the bed chatting about our week. All of a sudden, there's a huge crash outside the door. I give Jordan my, "What the heck?!" look and we both just kind of laugh it off. We figured it was one of the dogs or the cats jumping around in the other room, most days it's like a circus at our house.
We keep talking and in the meantime, there's a whole ruckus of noise going on. Finally I tell Jordan he better open the door and check it out. Lo and behold it's Cooper, sitting patiently at our door.....with a dead, mangled quail laying against the door.
I freaked.
Jordan is searching the room for something he can use to pick up the dead bird, because if we don't take it away quick it just gets harder to catch the dang cat. He grabs and old dishcloth that he can throw away after and hauls it out. I come walking out of the room and there are feathers EVERYWHERE. He was out there banging the poor thing against the walls trying to get it into our room! Jordan had to come down with the shop vac and clean up all the feathers before I totally lost my cookies.
Cooper spent the rest of the day pissed at us for taking away his prize. Boo.....hoo.
Egg Roll Night
About a week ago Sean and Brynn invited us to their place for a night of games and homemade egg rolls. We were so excited because love spending time with them and their two beautiful kids and it's nice to get out of the house and spend time with other people. We agreed to come and were told to not bring anything this time, it was Sean and Brynn's treat. So Wednesday came and we were so excited. We left the house that morning to run some errands and pay some bills. I took Jordan to Yamato's in Orem for lunch. He'd never been there and it's one of those Japanese places with fantastic sushi. I was so excited that my doctor cleared me to eat sushi just two days before, so we figured we'd celebrate....with some sushi! It was fantastic and Jordan loved it. He said it's his new favorite place to get sushi. We came home and sat around until 3:00 o'clock at which point I called Brynn to see if we could come early.....we were bored out of our minds! She laughed and told us to come right over. After a stop at Borders for a new book and several detours thanks to some nasty traffic accidents, we finally made it to Sean and Brynn's.
Noah and Ellie were excited to see us and Noah was totally ready for games. Sean wasn't there yet so Brynn and I decided we'd kill some time and go get drinks. We left Jordan with the kids and took a drive to the gas station. Before we left, Noah made sure to give us his own special request. He asked Brynn for an icee because, and I quote..."Icee's are good for kids". We both had a good laugh, he's such a funny kid. We came back with everyone's drinks and Sean was home so they got the egg rolls started. I was nervous, because lately I've been craving Chinese food like crazy....I just don't do well with egg rolls. However, I do know that Sean and Brynn are fantastic cooks so these egg rolls had to be tasty.
They were more than tasty......they were AMAZING!!! Best egg rolls I've ever had in my life! I totally ate four of them and I felt like a total piggy, but I couldn't help it. Sean did an amazing job and we hope that we can learn to cook them just as well. I'd love to share them with my family, they were so yummy.
After dinner, we let the boys play games while the ladies went to Roberts for some crafty fun. Ellie was looking totally hot in her tutu, bunny ears, and superwoman cape and we had a nice time looking for cute things at Roberts. Usually I end up going with Jordan, bless his heart, but it's just not his element. It was so fun to go with Brynn who has such a good eye for super cute stuff and it was even better to get her feedback on the stickers I wanted.
We got back in time for Brynn to put the kids to bed and then we spent another few hours talking and laughing over funny stories. It was really great. We get to spend a lot of time with Brynn and we adore her. It was great to be able to spend time with Sean, I know it meant a lot to Jordan. It's so great for me to see him growing closer to his brothers, especially after all the family stuff that's happened this year. My family is great but it's not the same for him. I'm so glad that he can spend time not just with Jayson, but with Tyler and Sean as well. It's very important to us to keep those ties strong, not just in times of stress and drama but also when things get quiet and easy....that's when it's most important.
Thanks Sean and Brynn for a fantastic dinner and an evening of light hearted fun, we needed it!

My sweet little baby...
We had our second appointment this week and it went so good. The first time we went in we waited over an hour before they finally called us back, I hate that. This time we went earlier in the afternoon and we were the only ones there. After the last time, it was almost like being in a twilight zone and Jordan and I both laughed when we walked into the office. The receptionist kind of laughed with us (I really don't think she knew what was so funny though). They called us back and the nurse starts taking my vitals, then tells me to go pee in a cup....again. My face went a little blank and I was like...
"Again?"
"Oh yeah," she says. "We'll have you do that everytime you come."
I was so bummed! I hate peeing in those stupid dang cups. And! Since I didn't know I would have to do that again, I didn't come prepared with a full bladder. So then I get to sit there forever trying to produce something, anything! And meanwhile, Jordan and the nurse are wondering what's taking me so long. So I hand over the pathetic result of my hard work and head into the exam room to take a seat.
The doctor comes in two seconds later....awesome! I love this no waiting thing, it's great.
He says, "Thirteen weeks huh? So your for real now."
We kind of laugh and we're like, "Yep."
I'm so excited I tell him I've already scrapbooked my last ultrasound picture and he totally laughs. He has me lay back so we can take a look at the baby and we're totally stunned!
My baby is so big! It looks like a baby! A real, honest to goodness, human baby! It has a head and legs and arms....I'm totally speechless. Four weeks? Just four weeks and it grew that much! No wonder I'm so freaking tired all the time!!! We got see it's tiny little heart just pumping away, it was insane! He tells me that since I'm a scrapbooker he'll print another picture for me and I'm so excited, because I totally didn't expect to get another one.
We scheduled our next appointment and went home. I called my family to tell them all about it because I was so excited and we started taking votes on whether it's a boy or a girl. So far it's a pretty even split. I can't wait for my next appointment. I'm almost fourteen weeks now and out of the first trimester, woohoo! However, I still gag. It's not quite so sensitive but it's still there.
I work two, three days a week for five hours at a time and I come home EXHAUSTED. I hate that. I think back to other times in my life when I was working a full time job, a part time job, AND going to school and I just laugh. I try really hard not to complain around Jordan because he has to work such long shifts and here I am boobing over five hours on my feet. It makes me feel so pathetic. He's so good about it though, he just laughs at me and tells me to make us dang good looking baby.
"Again?"
"Oh yeah," she says. "We'll have you do that everytime you come."

He tells me that since I'm a scrapbooker he'll print another picture for me and I'm so excited, because I totally didn't expect to get another one.
We scheduled our next appointment and went home. I called my family to tell them all about it because I was so excited and we started taking votes on whether it's a boy or a girl. So far it's a pretty even split. I can't wait for my next appointment. I'm almost fourteen weeks now and out of the first trimester, woohoo! However, I still gag. It's not quite so sensitive but it's still there.
I work two, three days a week for five hours at a time and I come home EXHAUSTED. I hate that. I think back to other times in my life when I was working a full time job, a part time job, AND going to school and I just laugh. I try really hard not to complain around Jordan because he has to work such long shifts and here I am boobing over five hours on my feet. It makes me feel so pathetic. He's so good about it though, he just laughs at me and tells me to make us dang good looking baby.
