First Appointment

I had my first appointment yesterday and I must say Dr. Walsh is great I really like her and how she does things. (Jumping back to the beginning) of course we start off just trying to get to her office and like always as things must happen we can't find it, so we called and finally made it to her office a little late. Once we were called in they talked to us about what we were going to do you know the usual stuff some blood work and then a sonogram. After we get through the other stuff we go in for our sonogram. Once the Lady gets everything ready we see our baby for the first time.


It was so cute this was it's first picture! Before she took the pictures the little baby was in the middle sitting there and then it started to wiggle around! It was kicking it's legs and moving it's little arms I loved it. It looked like how babies move when they are happy laying on their backs. It was the cutest thing Peter and I have ever seen. It did this for a few minutes and then whoosh it moved to the spot it is at in the picture. I think it mush have been thinking "wo what is that get it way" or "ooo look mommy and daddy can see me" I hope it was that one!


While we were still looking at the baby I noticed something . . . it has Peter's jaw I think, I thought it was funny.


This last picture is my favorite if you look very close you can see some of it's little fingers so cute! Peter and I are really happy and so excited for our little baby Due Dec. 15, 2010!

Little One

Yes we are pregnant! Before we found out I had been noticing lately that things felt a little different than normal around that time of the month. So I didn't really thing to much of it I thought to myself if things don't get going within the normal time frame then I might need to check. About a week later it is the last day so I get up and grab my test (it was the one that shows the two lines) and I take it. As I am sitting there I'm thinking to myself "Ok it is just going to be a negative. " I was completely convinced that it was going to only have one line. So I look back at it and nothing. Once again I thought" ya it is a negative." Then when I grab it to throw it a way I started to see the tip of the second line starting to show up.
I thought "no way no way what is that? what is that?" and then that line just showed up and I didn't really know what to think. I was not totally convinced because the line was so faint. So I looked at the little paper that gives you information about the test and it basically said that if there is a second line it means you are pregnant. I was really happy but I needed to be sure so I had to go and get some more test.

So I ran ok I drove to wal-mart and grabbed one of those test that flat out says it. I get home and had to wait until I need to use the restroom again (just so you know Peter was asleep through most of this). The time comes and I take the test I set it down and I just didn't want to look at. Because I was to excited to be let down it said no and didn't really know what to do if it said yes. After some time I kind of look at it with my prevail vision and all I could see was a space and a word. I looked away quickly and was does that say what I think it did so I looked fully at it and there it was not not pregnant but pregnant. I was so happy and could not believe it. I was just so surprised. I always knew that when we were meant to have a children that it would happen but I did not know it would be now and before we had decided to start trying.

After all this I waited until Peter woke up and then showed him he was very surprised but happy and said we'll take it. An that all happened April 10th.
And I am calling it Little One for the time being.

Peter is racking the leaves they were deceiving there was a lot more then we thought! I was fun seeing all the leaves built up!

Remembering

When we moved I did not think that I would miss Wisconsin so much. Every time I hear about football games I keep getting an image of Lori yelling "woohoo" and throwing her arms up in to that air waving her fist ... it makes me laugh! An when Dwight is on the go doing things and when he crashes sitting down and within seconds being asleep oh and trying to feed the babies food that they can't eat yet, I will have to make a note on that for the future. I have never really had a chance to know what it is like to have/live with a brother, my brother passed away when he was 5, I realized that it is great to have a brother and I am glad Luke is my brother in law he is a great guy! I hope everything works out for him. I can say that I really miss meeting and getting to know everyone like all the sisters, their husbands, and their children. I have had so much fun with them all I love getting to know all the children they are so much fun and way way cute I love them all! I had so much fun within the last few weeks we were up there. I will never forget all the fun times we had up there and am sad that we are so far way now but we will for sure have to come back and visit! It is funny the things that you remember about people and how quickly and easily you can grow to love them.

Trip to Texas

Well it has been one day one the road it has been interesting. And it is great we haven't been online for over a month so this is really nice. I will admit that I am going to miss Wisconsin a bit but it is ok. Its fun but I thought it was funny that we are only in ST.Lewis and there is no snow.

Well I am finally going to be off training as a waitress today I am little nerves because this will be the first time I will be on my own. So we will see how that goes tonight. Peter and I have discovered that I smell like meat/ deli meat and like McDonald's when I am done with work it is kind of nasty. Peter is looking for work still he is finding some good stuff. All in all we are doing good.
