FINALLY!!!

I'm so freakin excited to announce that we're PREGNANT!!!! YAY!!!

I found out on Sept. 28th. I took a pregnancy test in the morning and it automatically came back positive! I just looked at it for a moment, shocked and not knowing what to do. I set it down for 2 mins and came back (thinking that the positive was a fluke) but it wasn't. Bryce was on his way to California, so I called him to tell him our happy news! He was so excited!!!! We decided that we would only tell our parents for a while. And both parents were, of coarse, excited!

At six weeks we had our first ultra sound, where we heard the heart beat. It was a really neat experience, since the doctor said the heart had only been beating for a day maybe two. And of coarse, I started to cry when I heard the heart beat. I was crazy emotional!!! I was just so happy, since it seemed so long to get us to this stage. And hearing the heart made it real.

At eight weeks we had another ultra sound, just to make sure everything was going good. And it looks like everything is good and growing fast!!! It's amazing to see how much our little tiny baby has grown in two weeks!

I'm nine weeks along, and everything is going well. I've been pretty sick to my stomach all day, everyday! But I'm so HAPPY to be sick!! It means I'm pregnant!!!! My testimony has grown so much in the last 5 weeks. I'm so grateful to my Heavenly Father, that he knows me!! He knows that I needed time to really, desperately want to have a baby so that I would appreciate this opportunity to be sick. I know that sounds weird, but I'm so happy that I don't feel good!!! I just pray that we will have a strong, healthy and happy baby.

P.S. Bryce has come up with a nickname that the baby will be referred to. It's Cletus the Fetus. He's so funny, he gives everything a nickname and their all weird!! It makes me laugh!!

Ketchup Packets

Notice the net weight is 33 lbs!!

For the people who know me best, this is not an odd picture. You know that I LOVE ketchup!! And I think McDonald's has the best. 

Well, today is our 4 year anniversary. And Bryce gave me this huge 33 pound box of McDonald's ketchup packets!!  Do I have the BEST husband or what? 

I'm so glad that I made such a good choice in a husband!! He makes me laugh everyday!! I love that he always comes up with very creative ideas. Who would ever think of giving their wife a huge box of ketchup??? 

Four years ago, I knew that I would be happy with Bryce. But I couldn't imagine how happy I would really be. We've been through our share of trials and difficulties, but we've grown so much closer because of them. I'm so glad that we made the right choice to get married in the temple. I'm so excited to spend ETERNITY with my very best friend!!! I love you Bryce! And it will be fun to see where the next 50+ years takes us.

P.S. Bryce also gave me Anne of Green Gables. And I got him the first season of the Simpsons. I'm also re-creating our wedding luncheon for dinner tonight. Yummy bread bowls, with yummy pumpkin soup.
