Happy Spring!

Hello! Im finally updating my blog! Its been awhile.
So the past few months have been interesting! On New Year`s day we found out that we are FINALLY pregnant! I took the test early in the morning and I think the whole day we were just in shock! I kept it to myself all day and finally at the end of the day we told our families. Mike came up with this great idea to take a picture of out dog in a shirt that said, "Im a sister!" and we wrapped it up in a box, like a present. We really thought that it would be a little more obvious than it was, but neither one of our families understood, my Mom actually thought that we were giving her our dog for some reason! So we ended up just telling everyone. Im due August 29th.
So far it has been really hard. Being sick all the time is not fun and you dont realize how bad it can really be until you are actually in it. But the first time you hear the heartbeat is when you really feel like, okay there really is something growing inside me, im not just sick!
Im done with the sick part of the pregnancy though now and now i am starting to really enjoy it. My belly is starting to grow and im starting to show, but im in that awkward stage where you just look fat and your pants are starting to not fit! I went to St. George with my family last weekend and all the pants i brought did not fit comfortably so i went out and bought me a pair of maternity pants and they are amazing!!
I had my monthly check up yesterday and the doctor said that i am measuring at 19 weeks when i am actually 17 weeks, so that was pretty fun! We got to hear the heartbeat again and this time we got to schedule the appointment to find out what we are having!! We find out in three weeks and we cannot wait! We both think it is a boy, but you never know. We will be happy with whatever it is!
We couldnt be happier with our lives right now! I feel like i am the luckiest person in the world. I really do have the best husband anyone could have. He has been nothing but sweet and patient with me ever since i got pregnant, he does everything for me! When i was sick for those few months he did laundry, cleaned the house, did the dishes and even made dinner. He is such a hard worker and his main goal in life is that i am happy. so far he has succeded! He is so excited to be a Dad, every once in awhile he will just touch my stomach and say "baby" or even talk to my belly even thought until this week the baby couldnt hear him. He really is my best friend and i cannot wait to bring a new life into this world with him. I could not have asked for a better husband, we just get closer and closer every day. I am so grateful we will be together for eternity!
