Weekend Trip

This weekend we went to Bear River and stayed in a cabin with Zach's brother Lucas and his wife Danielle and her parents. The cabin was amazing and HUGE! We got some four wheeling in and also some "Spring" fishing in the snow. It was a quick trip but we had a lot of fun.

It's a girl... no, a boy...

We are having a BOY! We went to see my new doctor last week. Since it was the first time I had seen her, she did a quick ultrasound in her office. She looked and went back and forth on if it was a boy or a girl. In the end, she said she was pretty sure it was a girl. We were so excited! Both Zach and I had been hoping it would be a girl. We went home and started telling our family and a few friends. Well then I had my fetal well-being ultrasound done yesterday and surprise! It's not a girl, it's a boy. The ultrasound tech said you can never be 100% sure about the sex but she is 99.9% sure it is a boy and the doctor later agreed. Luckily we hadn't bought any girl things so now we are just trying to switch gears in our heads. We do have one major dilemma though. We had a whole list of girl names we loved, but can't think of one single boy name that we love. If you have any ideas, we are totally up for suggestions!

Post From Zach

So I learned during the Grammy's that my favorite band of all time is back! Blink-182! I feel like an old man considering how many bands have started and failed since they have broken up. I know that I am gonna love their new album which comes out this summer. For those of you that don't know their band split into two different bands. Angels & Airwaves and Plus 44. So you all better keep your ears peeled for a rock revolution! haha

Can I please vent?

Our lives have been in a horrible and boring rut lately. I am 13 weeks along and have been so so sick this whole time. I spend everyday in bed. I have only been to work a few times in the past 2 months. I know those of you I talk to a lot are probably sick of hearing me complain, but I'm going to use this as another opportunity to express my frustrations. Do you know how depressing it is to spend everyday in bed?? The thing is, I don't even want to try to get up and out because I feel so crappy. I just can't keep anything down. I've tried everything and still have no relief from this sickness. I have been to the doctor twice now. The last time we went we got to hear the heartbeat which was so cool! It's a good reminder that this suffering actually is for a good reason. My doctor is a very nice man, but is another source of my frustration. He told me I need to stop losing weight, gain a few pounds by the next time I see him and said I am dehydrated and need more fluid. Well duh! I know this! Believe me, I eat and eat and drink but nothing stays in me. The medication I have been taking hasn't helped my nausea but he has no suggestions or helpful advice for me. Today I decided to switch doctors. I just think I would prefer an OB doctor instead of just a family doctor (which is what he is). When I told the new office that I was switching they acted strange and said they would call me back. ?? Is this some sort of "no-no" I don't know about? I'm still awaiting the call and hope I'll be able to switch. Well, thank you for any of you who actually read all my whining. I'm going to try and be more positive... 

Baby on the Way!

We are excited to announce our first baby is on the way!! We couldn't be happier about this. The baby should be born at the end on July next year. Unfortunately, I have been really sick with 24/7 nausea, vomiting, and being extremely tired. I have lost weight since I haven't been able to eat much and my doctor said I am dehydrated and that is what is causing me to feel dizzy and lightheaded. I've had to take time off of work and am trying hard to get myself rehydrated and trying lots of tricks to help the nausea. I had my first doctor appointment yesterday and we got to see our little baby on the ultrasound. It was exciting, we saw the little heart beating away and could make out the head and arms. (It wasn't great quality, and the picture they gave us looks like a blob with no identifiable parts, but we love our little blob!) We hope all of you have a very Merry Christmas!!

Quarter Century and Random Updates

Happy Birthday Zach! Today was Zach's 25th birthday!! We're getting old! He really is the best husband ever. We had a fun filled day planned but unfortunately I was in bed sick all day so we weren't able to do anything. He even had to get his own meals. I felt so bad, but hopefully we'll be able to do the birthday funtivities later this week. 

Last week we went to see The Forgotten Carols. It was both Zach and my first time seeing it and we really loved it. Yes, the acting was cheesey but the music is amazing! And it was a great outing to help get us in the Christmas mood. 

Also, we had these pictures from way back at the beginning of November from Robert's birthday party. We didn't have the camera out for the real candles so this picture is a re-do. We love you Robert!

Park City Anniversary

Last month was our anniversary. We went to Park city for a couple of days and had a great time shopping at the outlets, walking around main street, and hanging out in our slightly ghetto hotel room. 

We brought our frozen wedding cake along and let's just say it tasted like it had spent a year in the freezer in the garage. (Oh that's right, it had.)
