Bradley Aaron Dexter

Everything is going super amazing. I haven't been sick since I got into my second trimester which I love. Aaron and I went to my 20 week appointment last Monday and everything with the baby looks great. I have a little bump going on now which I am super excited about I really hated being at the in between stage where people didn't know what to think. They probably just thought that you were getting fat. I finally had to go and buy some pants for work because I didn't want to use the rubber band trick and the pants that I was wearing no longer fit minus the ones Amber had let me borrow that were maternity. Well my 20 week mark landed on a very good day. It was my birthday, my halfway point and the day we got to find out what we were having luckily that baby had been moving so I was hoping that it stayed that way. They say you need to drink 32 ounces of water 45 minutes before you get to the doctor. While whoever has done that without peeing their pants on their way to the doctor I applaud you. Aaron and Amber both came with me to my ultrasound which was really fun. I called Amber at about 8 o'clock and she asked me what I was up to. I told her that I was just trying to figure out how I was going to drink all of this water before 9 without having to pee on my way there. She told me to wait until around 9 o'clock because my appointment wasn't till 10 and just chug as much as I could and call it good so that is what I did thinking it would go well because she had twins and if it works with her for 2 it would work for me with one. Needless to say I was totally wrong. We were on our way to the doctor and there was this guy on the side of the road holding a sign for people to come and get there taxes done and both Amber and Aaron busted out laughing because he was dancing and singing and it was really quit funny. Well that is where the problem began. I made Aaron pull over at a McDonald's on our way to the doctors because I had to pee so bad and I couldn't hold it anymore. The surprising thing is that the ultrasound tech said that I had a full bladder when she was doing the ultrasound which I have no idea how that happens when I emptied it 5 minutes earlier. Well we got a lot of pictures from the ultrasound and I think my baby has the cutest nose ever. Here are some of the pictures we got. This is a profile picture with his hand by his face. This is a picture of his cute little foot. He was being very cooperative at the beginning but at the end he was getting done with being pocked at. Well this is my favorite picture of my baby boy and I can't wait to see him in August. Aaron and I have decided to name him Bradley Aaron Dexter.

I am very excited to start feeling him move more and more. We bought the crib and changing table so as soon as we get them and put them up I will post pictures. Well I will try and keep this up to date as much as possible so check back ofter.

17 weeks and doing great

Well actually tomorrow I will be 18 weeks and everything is going very well. I am actually starting to look pregnant which is nice because I felt like I just looked fat.
This is a picture of me at 7 weeks and you can see a tiny bump but not much, but there is something there. We are buying a little bit of stuff we already bought the carseat and stroller and I totally love it.
I started to feel the baby move about 2 weeks ago which is the coolest feeling in the world. It is really hard to describe how it feels other then to me it feels like you have an inside tickle that you cant get rid of.

On the 28th of march which is my birthday we get to find out what we are having which is going to be the best birthday present. I cant wait only two weeks left. I have thought since we found out what we were having that we were having a girl. Aaron on the other hand thought it was a boy at first, but in the last month and a half to 2 months it has been thinking girl as well. I guess we will see in two weeks what it is as long as it is healthy I will be good. Well keep wishing us luck and I will keep you updated as best as possible.

And so it Begins!!!

It is a miracle. Aaron and I found out on the 26th of December that we are going to have a baby. After being told that we had less then a 1% chance to get pregnant I had given up hope of getting pregnant without any medical help. We were planning on doing invetro the beginning of 2013, but I am so glad that isnt that plan. We are both very excited. I am measuring at about 8 1/2 weeks. The doctors are saying everything looks excellent so we will see how it goes. This is the baby today. The dot at the top of it's head is the yoke sack which is normal and it is the blood supply to the baby. Wish us luck and I will keep this up to date.

UPDATE

So it has been a long time since I have posted so I will do a lot of pictures and show you what we have been up too.


Aaron wanted me to go blonde so I did. I really like it I think that I am going to keep it like that for awhile.








I decided this year that I wanted to go and see fireworks
at sugar house park. My parents and Ryan came with us. It was a lot of fun I think I might have to go again.











On the 4th of July we went up to Aaron's grandparents house. Every year Justin does a tank battle with tank fireworks. It is really cool. This is a picture of Ryan getting things ready before it is set on fire.

We also went swimming at Spencer's grandparents house it was alot of fun. It was Madisyn and Kaitlyn's first time swimming and they loved it.

IT'S FINALLY DONE....

It's Finished. We have it done, we layed sod yesterday and our backyard looks amazing. We have been working at it since the beginning of may. I really thought that it would be quick and easy and we would be done with everything by the end of May but boy was I wrong. I never realized how hard of work doing your yard was till I started my own. Since our house is 23 years old and no one has ever done anything with the backyard the soil was really hard and this house was the last one to get built so everyone but their rocks in our yard let me tell you we had a great time. All I have to say is that I am very greatful that we knew some one who had a bobcat, we used it alot. We started the beginning of May with leveling out the back yard and getting rid of all of the weeds let me tell you we had a ton. After that we did trenchings boy was that fun. We cut roots, killed trees (kind of), cut power, cut the cable line ( while you are reading this yes we did call blue stakes). It took 2 weeks to do all of the stuff and then on to sprinklers boy was that a job, but I am so greatful to have sprinklers because I was sick of pulling a hose around the yard to water everything last year. Finally after it seems like forever we were able to do sod yesterday. We started putting all of the sprinkler heads on on thursday and we fininshed that up when Aaron and I got off work yesterday. Josh came over at about 3:30 and him and Aaron started laying sod. They were by themselves for about 2 and 1/2 hours and then Aaron's parents and Spencer came over. My mom came over to help me take care of Kaitlyn and Madisyn while Josh was outside and Amber was at work. It got done faster then I thought but I am glad that I have family that is willing to help us out when we need them. After we got the sod laid we turned the sprinklers on the water the lawn and Aaron noticed that he didnt uncover on all the way so he had to dig it up and fix it. While he was doing that Ben decided to help him with the pick and the shovel. It is all fixed now and everything is looking amazing. I cant wait to be able to use my backyard and have a party. Here is the finished product.
