1st Trimester

This is my last week of my First Trimester. This week our baby is to be about the size of a Peach (3 Inches long), the Intestines are on the way to it's proper place, and our baby's Vocal Cords are developing.

I have only thrown up once and the last two weeks I have been feeling like my old self again, other than the retarded constipation. I love fruits!!! The only thing the baby and I don't like is Ranch, Don't let us smell it or taste it YUCK! I only have one pair of shorts/ capris that are comfortable to wear and I'm too stubborn to buy any more.

So far for our baby we have bought.... A carseat with matching stroller and two carseat basses, diapers, and a baby bath. I am so excited for this baby to come that I just want time to fly by!!!!  Last week I was thinking we were having a boy and this week I feel it's a girl! but we still have quite some time until we find out.

13 4/7 Weeks. This is a really full of food belly and on of the rare times the belly decides to be big.

1st of Many

On July 6th our first Doctors appointment arrived and this is what happened...


The first big thing they did was draw my blood. YUCK! but i'm pretty sure Mitch enjoyed it though, for the first time I'm the patient and he gets to laugh. So I really don't like needles okay.

I'm chewing ice when Dr. Savage comes in and we talk about some things. The exam has begun and I make Mitch hold my hand. I have never had a pap smear so this was the day to do it.
Above all the best part of the visit and the most memorable was when doctor Savage was saying sometimes we can't hear the heart beat this early and it can take a while to find it... the second she placed this thing on my belly we could just hear the heart beat going so fast (beating at 163). You wouldn't think it would make you feel so happy but It was the most wonderful sound to hear! I was so happy I laughed and then we couldn't find the heart beat again.

I just can't wait to go to the doctor again and hear our little baby's heart beat again!

Special Gift

This is a story about how we found out we were pregnant.

We were on vacation in AZ and I was late,  we were not sure if we were pregnant, so I wasn't sure if I should get in the hot tub all three times that I did. I was not sick or anything, just normal me. Mitch and I debated if we should take a test when we returned or wait a week.

So we returned to UT and the following day was Mitchels 25th birthday! His work buddies took him out to JDawgs and I surprised Mitch by meeting them there with the bosses daughter. Afterward I bought a pregnancy test  and waited a couple hours before I took it. Lo and behold it read 'Pregnant'!!!!!
Now how am I gonna tell Mitch?? I texted him to let him know I got the results and was not gonna text it to him. He started to belive that the results were negative. I decided to write a little note that said I finally figured out what to get him for his birthday but he couldn't have it for another nine months. I left this note on our front door. When he got home, boy was he excited!!!
To celebrate his birthday and the pregnancy we went to Mi Ranchitos!! Then to the bookstore to buy  me a pregnancy book. Last trip was to the theatre to watch the new Men In Black three movie.

It was the best birthday ever!!

Coming Soon

Family Reunion

Every year we have a day of family reunion fun, This year it lasted a whole week!!

It all started when my sister Vanna arrived from AZ with her kids, I spent several days in a row with her shopping and going to places like, the Bean Museum, The Candy Store, Clark Planetarium, Down east basics, and to my Moms work.

The reunions started on June 30th with the annual Watkins Family reunion (my dads mothers side). Every year this is held at the family cabin in Hobble creek canyon, ususally all the little kids play on the paddle boats in the pond or play tetherball, volley ball, etc. In the mean time the parents eat and chat. We also love to take photos!! We really enjoyed it this year especially cause everyone got family history books from my great uncle, (he gave us one for our wedding, it was the best gift ever!)

Monday July 1st. Mitch and I had a wedding to go to, and Mitchel's cousin was beautiful. Following that we went to my grandparents for FHE and listened to old stories.
Tuesday 2nd I went and saw Brave with my niece and nephews.

4TH OF JULY! It all started with the parade which was so much fun. Next stop Park City for food, swimming and games with ALL the cousins, aunts, and uncles. it was SO MUCH FUN.  To finish the day we went to the PHS softball field to watch the Stadium of Fire Fire Works.

Saturday we had lunch with the whole family in celebration of our grandparents 80th birthday and 60th anniversary.

Well it was a great week with family and I can't wait to see family again.

Sunny AZ

Ahhh Arizona. At the end of the month of May, Mitchel, our friend Ryan and I drove to St. George where we stayed the night at our friend Trevs Grandmas house. The following day we made it to Mesa!
Of course we stayed at my sisters place. I LOVE VISITING. and I love the swimming which we did every day. 


Lets get to the point, the whole reason we were there was for my cousins wedding. My cousin I Lean married my husbands Best Friend Trev McIntosh. Their wedding was beautiful and they both looked amazing and we really enjoyed the beautiful sealing. They had a luncheon with delicious wraps and sandwhiches, then later that evening they had a reception with light music and food. 
WE LOVE YOU MCINTOSH NEWLY WEDS!


On this trip I we met our nephew for the first time, and boy is he cute! we loved to play with him and my nieces who kept wanting to play board games and go swimming. I also have this amazing Brother in law Maeser, he is a great cook, we had very full filling meals. One of the evening after we went swimming They took us to the Mesa Grill. WOW talk about delicious. 


Our last day in AZ was a sunday, we ended it with a spectacular dinner which included a roast, a night walk and then a movie.
I LOVE ARIZONA.


On our trip home we pulled over just past lake powell and climbed  up some rocks and mountain stuff, Heck I dont know what you call it.
until next time AZ.
