Cartwheels

So this past week has been a roller coaster. I have been throwing up 2-3 times a day and hungry as ever. Today I went to the doc for my 13 week check up and all is good. I am O Negative blood type so if Brent has positive blood I have to get a shot at 7months if we plan on having any more babies. Notice how I put the word IF....Yes 1 may be enough for me if being pregnant means being miserable. I told Brent my idea and he just looked at me, so I don't think he likes it.

Since my first visit I have lost some weight so the doc put me on Zofran to try and help me keep stuff down. I sure hope it works. We also listened to the babies heart beat and the doc made the comment "Wow sure sounds like an active one!" NOOOOO! Looks like baby Lewis is already doing cartwheels in my tummy and there is nothing we can do to stop the little thing. I also got the H1N1 shot. I was scared to at first but I figured what is the worst that can happen? At least I wont become a little piggy!

We have prepared ourselves that the baby is most likely a girl since the doc said he thinks it is and everyone else does to. Get ready for the most blinged out girl ever. We might as well name her sparkle because she will always have her accessories. Lets just hope she checks her attitude at the door.

So there is not much to see just the start of a bump.

So it has been a LONG time since my last post so here is an update.

The past few weeks have been brutal. I have been sick 24/7 throwing up or on the verge. It has been terrible. Thankfully Brent and Charlie have been here for me. Charlie will lick my feet while I am face down in the toilet and Brent will bring me a drink and rub my tummy when I am done. I don't want to jinx myself but it has been 4 days since I last threw up. YAY!

We found a cute crib and changing table on craigslist for $150 and it is in awesome condition! The nursery is starting to have some life in it.

So I have been thinking alot of how our baby will be. Will it look more like me or Brent? Will it be a boy or a girl? And most of all will it have the energy both Brent and I had growing up? I think of our poor mothers having to deal with all of our energy and trying to keep us entertained....Oh I hope our baby will be calm and not full on energy.

The one thing I think about most is how much baby Lewis is going to be loved. With all the aunts, uncles and cousins our baby will have tons of friends. And with a mom and dad who are silly, there will NEVER be a dull moment in our babies life. So keep on growing my little baby get nice and strong so mommy and daddy can love you to pieces when you get here!

baby Lewis at 8 weeks! Can you see it?

Blessed

So yesterday we were traveling west on the us 60 and were in a BAD accident. We switched into the far right lane and realized there was a desk in our lane. Brent swerved to avoid the desk but lost control of the Tahoe. We went from the far right lane all the way to the other side crashing into the cement median. We hit the front passenger side then bounced and ended up facing on coming traffic with the back end of the Tahoe smashed against the median. I remember it being silent as we were heading to the median. I thought no one can live after hitting this right? So right before we hit it I yelled out "Heavenly Father please protect us and let us live." He did! The Tahoe is a hunk of metal. The rims were ripped off lug nuts still in place. ITS A MIRACLE WE ARE OK. Our backs and necks hurt and I have a cut on my foot but that is all. We went to see how the baby was today and its fine. Healthy as can be! It measured 1/2inch and had a heart beat of 150. YAY! I don't know why Heavenly Father saved us but I sure am glad he did. I am grateful i still have my AMAZING husband and my baby. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers it means so much to us!

Baby Lewis

Sunday September 20
The night before I had decided I was going to take a pregnancy test, so when I woke up at 3am and had to go I made myself close my eyes and go back to sleep. So 6am rolls around and I know its time. I do the potty dance as I shimmy off my pants. I unwrap the test and do my thing. The first line is there saying I took the test right. That was a relief. After flushing and going about what you do after you use the bathroom I took a peek at the test"+". What already no way I went and sat on the bed for about 2min. I went back into the bathroom and there it was clear as day PREGNANT! I ran back into the bedroom screaming "BRENT BRENT I AM PREGNANT!" He sat up half asleep and said cool then went back to sleep. I was not happy with this response so I jumped on the bed and started dancing. I told him to come look he said bring it here. I reminded him there is pee on it so he got up looked at the test and smiled. Then we went back to the bed and snuggled. After about 10min of that I was ready to call and tell everyone. Brent said we should wait a while and think of a cool way to do it. Well I couldn't hold it in. I called my mom and 630am and told her, she cried. Then she reminded me that I need to take it easy because there is a chance I may not carry to full term. I knew this was a huge possibility but I was so excited I didn't care. So now a week later I can tell everyone....I AM PREGNANT! I am so excited and happy I don't even know what to say except this is a huge blessing and a miracle and I am enjoying EVERY second of it.

TORN

OK so i have been a mess the past couple of weeks. i am 40 days with out a period. i have not taken a test because i am scared it will say "not pregnant" and i don't want to hear that. i have been tired, have to go to the bathroom alot more, my chest is sensitive, and i have gained some weight. the thing that is throwing me off is i have been having cramps for about three weeks. so last night i could not fall asleep because i kept thinking about a baby, and when i did fall asleep i dreamed i got twin boys. not that i gave birth to them but that we adopted them. so i woke up this morning all excited then i realized it was a dream. i am a mess. i want a baby more than anything but know my chances of ever having one of my own are small. i don't know why i am writing about this, i usually don't tell people my personal problems. i don't know what else to say. i am sad and i think Brent is too but we have both decided that if we are not pregnant with in a year we will adopt so i know someday i WILL have a baby and i will love it more than ANYTHING in this world and i know Brent will be the BEST dad ever. this is what keeps me going.

Jump Start

So I feel like I have been dragging along the past couple of weeks so I have decided to give my self a jump start. I am going to do Jillian Michael's 30 day shred and weight watchers. I think the lack of exercise and eating junk food has made me feel this way. So if anyone wants to join me this could be fun!

Our little Charlie

So I never thought I would be the type of person who treats their pet like a human...Well I thought wrong. Charlie is treated like our child and not just by me, Brent is guilty too. He sleeps in our bed in between us. We hold him like a baby and take pictures of him in the tub. He loves bath time he just does not like getting his face wet.

So this past weekend we went camping with our friends Cody and Mel and their two dogs. It was alot of fun sleeping on the ground and playing with the dogs. Charlie liked to swim in the near by creek. He did not like when Brent took him to the other side and dropped him in so he could swim to me. It was a close call when he went under for a split second both Brent and I were ready to jump in after him. We had alot of fun!
