Happy Turkey Day!

We were lucky because we got to eat Thanksgiving dinner twice! We had to pace ourselves though. First we went to Grandma Shobe's and then we went to Amy's house. It was fun to hang out with everyone and of course the food was yummy!

Here is everyone at Grandma Shobe's. We actually had a pretty small group because a lot of people were out of town. (including all of my family)

JJ & Hadley were so cute holding hands!

Carter really enjoyed his turkey leg!

Here's JJ eating his dinner.

This Thanksgiving I have so much to be thankful for! I am thankful for my awesome husband! He is truly wonderful to me! I am also so thankful for our baby on the way. We've been waiting so long for her or him (according to Matt). I am also thankful for our families and the huge support that they are for us!

Another Baby Picture!

We had another ultrasound today. I am officially 8 weeks and 4 days, and the baby measured as 8 weeks and 6 days. The heartrate was 178 bpm. Dr. Moffitt said that everything looks good. I still have to take my hormones until I am 12 weeks, but I have graduated to see my regular doctor. I guess that means no more ultrasounds until 20 weeks. I've gotten a little spoiled with all of the ultrasounds. I am so happy that everything is progressing so well. It still seems a little surreal to me, but I think that I am finally starting to realize that it's true. I've been pretty lucky because I haven't really been too sick. Sometimes I feel icky, but I haven't had any throwing up. (That is what I was dreading the most so yeah!!)

Roger Clyne!

I was rearranging my filing cabinet and I found this picture of me and Roger. This was when he still in the Refreshments, so I was probably about 15. It was in the midst of my obsession. Sarah and I used to go and see him in concert. This picture was taken at Gibsons (It was in Tempe, but now it's called something else.) We used to wait out back after the concert so that we could meet him. I used to love this picture. I blew it up in my photography class and hung it up on my wall in my bedroom.

First Ultrasound

I had my first ultrasound today! Dr. Moffitt said that eveything looks really good! We even got to see the heartbeat which is really good because sometimes you can't see it this early. He also confirmed that there is only one baby. I have to go back on the 24th for another ultrasound, and then I get to go to my regular doctor. I am so glad that everything is going well! The waiting part has been so scary for me.

It's Official . . .

I'm really pregnant! I know that it's silly, but I've taken like eight million pregnancy tests and never had a positive one. Matt always jokes that we should buy stock in the company that makes them. Anyways it made my day today when I took this test (just for fun) and it was positive.

Matt's Triathlon

Matt finished his 3rd Desert Grande Triathlon in Casa Grande yesterday. He had to swim 400 meters, bike 10 miles, and run 3 miles. His time this year was 1 hour and 19 minutes. When he started training he recruited some people from his work to compete with him. Matt's friend Glen and his wife Jana also competed in the triathlon. I'm proud of him for all of his hard work!

Baby Update

So far everything is going good. I've been to the doctor to check my hcg level three times. (The higher the better!) My first reading on Fri 10/24 (when I found out that I was pregnant) was 46.4. I got it checked again on Tues and it was 300. Today it was 911. The nurse said that is really good. My first ultrasound is scheduled for Wed Nov 5th, and they will be able to see the heartbeat then. I think that I will feel a lot better after that!

The Results Are In . . ..

I'm pregnant! It's been so long that I don't think that it has really sunk in yet. I am so happy! Thank you to everyone for all of your prayers and support! I know that you've made a difference for me. My due date is around July 2nd. Dr. Moffitt said that based on my hormone levels he thinks that there is only one baby. We'll be happy with whatever we can get!

Grey's Anatomy

While I was on bedrest I borrowed Grey's Anatomy from someone that I work with, and now I am hooked! I watched seasons 1-3 while I was on bedrest. That's all I did all day. Matt had to make me turn it off and go to bed at night. (At least I wasn't bored!) Season 4 just came out on DVD, but I couldn't quite bring myself to buy it and it's $5 per disc to rent it at Blockbuster. (That's obscene!) Luckily I found a website that I can watch the season 4 episodes online, and I've been recording Season 5 on my DVR. I've been spending lots of time in front of my computer lately!

Nicer Weather

I am loving the cooler weather in the morning and evenings! Hopefully the days will be cooler soon too. I've been opening the windows, so of course the cats have to have a look outside. Yesterday morning Duke pushed out the screen and tried to get outside. It was so funny because Matt had to go chase him. Unfortunately I wasn't supposed to get off the couch, so I couldn't help him. Haha.
