I'm having a baby!!!

-
I decided it was time to start updating my blog concerning the little sweetheart that is growing inside of me.
It has been such a fun experience!
Justin & I decided before we even got married that we wanted to wait a while to try having kids.
We made the goal of waiting for 2 years, (with me begging lots of times and him holding to the original deal)... which I am actually grateful for.
I am so incredibly happy for the time Justin & I spent together, JUST US.
I know that isn't everyone's plan, but for us it was what we needed.
We were able to vacation together, do things spur of the moment, start a business and get to know each other without the whole kid thing getting in the way.
I was able to learn and grow in many aspects including mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally and I think if I would have had kids any earlier I wouldn't have been as prepared and I know the timing is just perfect for us.

I have kept some notes of what has gone on each of the weeks that I want to document.

Week 4-6
- Jan 4th 2013 was the positive pregnancy test
- So dang emotional, crying over everything
- Worry wort about the future
- Can't stop thinking about the baby and that I'm pregnant
- Started 2nd to last semester of college (17 credits) yikes!
- STRANGE dreams!
- Justin is ecstatic and is more excited than me
- Never been more tired in my life, fall asleep before 8 most nights
- My mom & Kyle know
- Once 6 weeks hit was nauseated from sun up to sun down
- The only thing that sounds good is fruits & veggies

Week 7-9
- Still sick, but sour things seem to help
- Love eating my sour worms
- First Dr. appointment on Feb 4th
- Couldn't hear the heartbeat, but saw it
- When I saw that little baby in my belly I got really emotional
- Falling asleep around 8 

Week 10-12
- Still sick, but getting more used to it because it feels normal
- Tired 
- Craving everything cold like Ice Cream and smoothies
- Second Dr appointment March 4th
- Heard the heartbeat, Dr said 150 bpm which is healthy!
- Dr told us that mom and baby are healthy 
- Started running again and getting back to the gym which helped

Week 13-14
- Craving Jamba Juice
- Starting to feel a little better and especially not as tired!
- Always wanting fruits & veggies
- Meat = Yuck
- Stressed with school, moving and working
- Still so excited and feeling blessed
- Starting to show, but mostly just feeling chunky!
- Justin is trying to be nice, but keeps telling me I don't even look pregnant or like I've gained a pound

 The positive pregnancy test

Me at about 13 1/2 weeks starting to show

5 years since dads death, 5 lessons learned.

-
Today marks five years since my dear dad passed away.  Five years?! To say it's been an easy five years would be a complete lie.  But to say that the last five years have been completely miserable would be a lie, too.  I've experienced tender mercies of the Lord all along the way. Since it's been five years, I want to share five important lessons I've learned since my dads death. God loves us perfectly "Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely.  Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly.  Though we may feel lost and without compass, God's love encompasses us completely." - Dieter F Uchtdorf I often hear of people who, once something bad happens in their life,  blame everything on God.  They truly believe that if such a thing could happen in their life, then God must not love them.  I am here to tell you that that is a complete lie! I see how the easy way out for me would have been to believe that God didn't love me...

Perfect at Trying

-
I loved the movie "Meet the Mormons" that recently came out in theaters. I especially love the song that David Archuleta sings called "Glorious" that gives me goosebumps. What I love the most about this movie is a quote by the "Humanitarian" that says: "I am perfect in one thing, I am perfect in trying."  This is how I feel as well. There are days where I try so hard and despite my efforts fall short, there are days that I try so hard and things fall perfectly into place just the way I had imagined. No matter the outcome, what's important is that I keep trying. A few months back I wrote a post called "Perfectionism" and the struggle I face almost daily.  I feel like because of social media, people get a wrong idea of our lives. Most people only post the best things happening in their lives and leave out all the hard, negative moments that we each face daily. It's easy to play the game of comparison and wonder why everyone else h...

Perfectionism

-
Keep in mind:  This is very personal for me, but it was quite therapeutic to write this all down and to share with others. I hope that by me sharing it can help at least one person out there. There have been a few points in my life where I have really needed to make a big choice.   This isn’t just the little choices or decisions we all make on a daily basis, but a big choice.   Over the last what seems like couple years I have really struggled with something… something that has consumed my thoughts and actions.   Something that has crippled me at times, which has made me not want to even leave my house.   I am learning that many people out there struggle with this same thing called “perfectionism.”   This isn’t the perfectionism that we all think of, but more of a deep, dark pit of despair that I found myself in. I was such a perfectionist that I was never good enough for myself.   I’d look in the mirror and something wa...
