twins?!?

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with the blog. Since Nick and I moved we don't really have the internet, sometimes we do but the connection is really horrible so I don't bother doing anything with it. I just turn the computer off and find something else to keep my attention for a while.
So much has been going on! This weekend Nick and I are going camping in Moab, Im so exited but Nick said something about scorpions and lizards that snap their tails off as a defense thing, and to be honest both things scare me a ton. Plus I know there is probably a huge amount of gross large spiders! But other then that Im excited to walk around the trails and see the red rock and everything.
Nick recently has been golfing more. I knew he enjoyed it but since I moved out here I haven't heard of him going. I knew he owned some clubs and everything but nothing more. Jacob and him a few weekends ago went to the driving range and ever since then he wants to go more. Him and some guys on friday during their lunch break went and Nick went an bought a new driver, I guess he wanted to show off to them! Then today nick and john were going to go but its so windy! After that Nick was planning on going to the driving range with Dan! Whatever makes him happy, I personally don't get golf but it makes him smile and keeps him happy so I have no complaints!
So pregnancy, the weirdest, neatest, magical thing ever~! I for weeks was having dreams that I was going to go to the doctor and he was going to say something along the lines of "Ok, we see one heart beat and wait....there is another! Looks like twins!" I talked to my mom for hours about this....knowing twins run in the family. Scary thought but Ive heard that having twins first is hard but think about the next child...one is going to be an absolute breeze! Well, April 14th was my first doctors appointment with Dr. Terry. He is a wonderful doctor! Funny, understanding, full of knowledge (doctors amaze me with everything they know!) and I don't feel rushed with anything. We sat in his office and talked with him for a little bit before the exam, he explained things, which is a huge plus for me! So we had the ultrasound and Im waiting to hear that there is 2 babies in me....thank goodness we are only having one. But to look at the screen and see our child and the tiny little heart beating so fast was the most amazing feeling in the world. I have a child that Heavenly Father is trusting Nick and I to raise the right way and teach things to, is growing in me right now! Im so thankful for this huge blessing, but like every other first time mom to be Im so scared that Im going to mess up! Also we have names...if its a boy its going to be Neacel Parker and for a girl Olivia Paige. I personally think its a girl but Nick says its a boy. One of us will be right but neither of us know...we are making silly guesses with what we want! I hope Im right though. I want a little girl so I can dress her in pink and frills. Bows and bracelets....
So Im almost 11 weeks and the sickness is completely gone. I still can't handle meats and sandwhich bread (the smell is horrible!) but everything else Im eating! I have good and bad days but I can usually look at food and know its ok, or I look at it and feel like a boulder was just shoved down my throat, an automatic NO!
Im going to Ohio next month for a week to see family. I don't think I will be able to fly for much longer. Plus once I have this baby I won't be able to go home for about a year. My mom wants to see me pregnant, I guess her coming out in November while Im as big as a house (guessing) doesn't count! Plus I want to see friends and their kids, my old ward and just everything! A week isn't long enough to me right now but when I get there Im sure 3 days will seem to long to be away from Nick, I love my family dearly don't get me wrong but Nick is everything to me.

Ill keep things updated the best I can, but I can't promise its going to be great!
We love and miss everyone!
