MEESE

Thank you everyone for your love and support for us through all of what we have found out with our little "meese" as we call her. We went to a specialist to find out more information as to what is going on with her and the outcome of all of this. As of right now things are still up in the air about some things. As of right now she is still just really small. She still has fluid in one kidney, making it a lot bigger than the other one. Her heart looked really strong with nothing wrong with it. They say sometimes with having fluid in the kidney and the cord like it is, it can be a sign of down syndrome. I had taken a blood test to see what the chances are of our baby having any kind of problems and the down syndrome one came back with a 1 in 10,000. So according to my specialist he thinks that she will not have it. All we can do is wait and see how everything goes. I have to see him 3 more times. He wants to watch her close to try and prevent or catch any problems that she might have. He is having me come back at 28, 32, and 34 weeks. This is to prevent stillborn from happening.

Again, thank you for all your prayers!! We seriously love and appreciate all your support!! Our little meese is a fighter! We will keep you updated as we find out more.

Weekend Fun!!

Last Friday my dad took me and Cody to a place called Shabu Shabu. It is a place in orem by Smith's grocery store. It was a very interesting place. It is a place where you cook your own food at your table. You get your choice of meat(s). They bring a pot to a boil with cabbage, carrots, tofu, etc. Then you put in soy sauce and an optional hot sauce. Then in that broth you cook your meat. It was a fun and new experience. Learned next time to not put as much hot sauce. After all your meat is cooked they put noodles into the broth and give a soup. MAN does the noodles soak up the HOT in the sauce :). Thanks dad for the break and company........ I really needed it.

The weekend followed with some 24th fun. We went to Cody's parents and had some food and visited. Then after that we went to my gmas for her bday tradition. She always has cake and fireworks. It was nice to see everyone and light off some off our wyoming fireworks from last year :).

It's a GIRL!!!

Yesterday we went in for our ultrasound. We found out we will be having a baby girl! How exciting. She will be such a blessing in our lives. We also found out a couple things about her that are kind of alarming. She has a single umbillical cord artery. Normally they are suppose to have two. She is two weeks under weight. She also is not developing like they want her too. They also found that she has fluid in her lungs. If the fluid gets worse, she has some kind of blockage that could lead to surgery. We are going to see a specialist on Tuesday at the hospital to find out more. I am hoping for the best and trying to stay positive. She needs to be a fighter just like her mommy was. Please keep us in your prayers.

SuMmEr!!

We have been so busy with summer activities!! We celebrated the 3rd of July at the Stadium of Fire. It was a really fun time being there and seeing what they had planned for the year. Then that sunday we went over to the Bill's family house and celebrated Pam's bday/4th of July. It was a blast. The weeks following we have been swimming a lot and spent a lot of time up AF canyon in the rockcrawling beast haha.

This last weekend we went to my famous family reunion. It was a very colorful event :). We went to a place up in Honeyville which is outside brigham city. It is called crystal hot springs. We had a blast swimming in the mineral pools and eating some sloppy joes. Sunday we then spend the day with my sister, ricky, dom, gma, great gma, ashley, josh, and conner. It was a blast. My sister made some sweet pork burritos that knocked your socks off :)

Now........... this week is the exciting part of pregnancy we find out what we are having WED!!!! BOY or GIRL who knows :). Whatever it is we are super excited to be first time parents.

158 Days to go!!!

Pregnancy is a great and wonderful thing!! I can not wait unit I actually get to find out what we are having (maybe friday) and see the baby push on my belly. I can actually feel the baby move around in my stomach right now. It is a crazy feeling!! I am so excited and nervous at the same time to be a mom. I know that it will be the most life changing experience that I will have. I am 18 almost weeks now, this is a picture of a baby at 18 weeks.

Baby Scare

Sunday night we had a little scare with our "moose" as Cody calls it. I am currently experiencing a threating miscarrage. They could not find exactly what the cause of the bleeding is. So I just have to wait it out and see how things go. As of now the baby is still growing and the heartbeat is strong. So I am hoping for the best. Just taking things easy and Cody is having to me the homemaker!!

Moab

Well we made it to Moab another year. It was a fun experience with some awesome friends. I made it to the waterfall barefoot and pregnant haha. We also did the famous Pritchett trail and I loved it!! Can't wait to do it again.
