Nick's Political Soapbox
Nick has started his own little blog....Notoriously Conservative http://notoriouslyconservative.blogspot.com
Many of you know that he gets very into politics and now he is speaking his mind not only to me and other loved ones but its now on the internet for everyone to see. He is very proud of it and I love that it makes him happy! Go check it out for him and pass it on to friends and family. Make sure to leave your input on things. Soon things will be more in depth but for now its just basic!
Also, just a little news about the baby. Last night after eating more then I ever thought possible we were walking around Big Lots and I felt the first little kick. I felt it a few times after that and Ive been so happy since then. Its really a baby and its growing in me! Im thinking the baby was kicking me for eating so much! Who knows??

Wow its been a while
This is just a little update nothing major, I'm sorry :o(
So I'm due November 14th and we will find out June 27th what we are having. Longest wait of my life!!! But I would put money on it being a girl...don't know why, maybe the dreams and just little things here and there that I notice. Either way I'll be happy of course....
I'm now officially huge and its pregnant huge not I ate way to many Twinkies huge, don't know how I feel about this all but its all worth it to have a beautiful girl (or boy I guess haha). Pregnancy is going ok I guess Ive ran into a few problems but nothing major according to the doctor. I passed out a few times which I guess is caused from the baby basically sitting on a vein and so blood pressure drops....and then so do I. But I'm sitting now when I don't feel right...which I should have done before. My iron is great if its just me...only now there is a baby in me so basically my iron sucks. So on top of folic acid and prenatals, I'm taking iron now! Plus, I have this weird phobia of taking pills! Isn't that just wonderful??
I still wonder every night when am I going to feel that first little kick? I'm so impatient and pregnancy seems to this on going game almost. Half way through the game you finally find out what your having and then who knows when the growing and the never ending stomach will end. Even after you have the little bundle of joy I can only imagine the game doesn't stop...the crying at night, the first little laugh, seeing who the baby looks more like, and so on....
I guess this game has only begun....I guess its just life!

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!

Update
Well, I'm going on my 7th week and morning sickness hit pretty hard last week! But Ive learned to eat even though nothing taste good and then it will go away. I get weird food cravings all the time. A few days ago we were at walmart and I saw hot and spicy pork rinds, I had to have them! I ate half the bag walking home! Also, I like mustard but not a ton, now I want to put it on everything I eat! Not just a little for flavor but almost drown food in it!
We are thinking its a boy, yeah its to early to know but we all address the baby as he or him. Could that be a little sign? Watch us be wrong! We are so excited though, this is a huge blessing! I want to start buying things but I'm going to wait patiently until we know what we are having...Neacel Parker or Olivia Paige? My first doctors appointment is April 14th! Still seems forever away!
The apartment is still nice but we still haven't unpacked everything so its still a mess! I need to really focus on getting that done! We feed the ducks every once in a while and they have been cleaning the pool so I think that is going to open soon! How exciting!Warm weather is right around the corner!!!
I know I still haven't told about Vegas or put pictures up but we don't have a great internet connection at home so Ill be spending time at the library but I promise I haven't forgotten about them and do intend on getting them up soon!

Stomach flu.....?
So for 2 weeks now I haven't been feeling well. My stomach has had this weird stomach flu kind of feeling. I have been up all night, and full of energy, and constantly hungry but don't eat a ton! It's been really weird!
Well, last Friday I was running errands, and people kept asking me if I was pregnant. I kept saying no and going on with my day. I told Nick how tons of people had asked and he said "Crap, women know things like that!"
So after all the comments I was nervous and wanted to prove everyone wrong. So Saturday I ran to the dollar store to get packing tape, since we were in the middle of moving and saw they had a pregnancy test. I bought it since it was cheap... Well, I took the test, 1 line means no 2 lines means yes. Of course it's all pink at first, I come back like 15 seconds later and only see only one line, I take a deep breath close my eyes and say thank you. I open my eyes and crap there are 2 solid bright pink lines! Im thinking this isn't right, I mean I bought it for a dollar. Well I told Nick on our way to sign the lease for our apartment and well I couldn't have thought of a worse time. He was already stressed with moving and now the possibility of me being pregnant. So he said I should take another test Sunday to make sure. We told family that there was a possibility but not to get hopes up.
Sunday morning I took the other test, - ment no + means yes....easy enough. I take the test and only see the one line. Remembering last time I wait a little longer and here comes another solid pink line! Nick woke up later around noon and said "Are you still pregnant?" I said "yeah here is the test," he looks at me and says, "I should have slept longer."
So Nick and I are now expecting our first kid! And here I thought I had the stomach flu and that my body was having a hard time fighting it off! We are really excited, nervous and scared! It's a mix of everything still! I mean we weren't trying and didn't want to get pregnant till summer. But the Lord has other plans for us!
I'm so amazed with it all right now. Here we thought the baby is still basically nothing and well according to things online, Im about 5 weeks along, my baby looks like a little manatee and had nubs for arms and legs! I wanted to cry I couldn't believe that in 5 weeks that much has happened. Organs are forming and everything! It's changed my life already. Everything I eat or do is affecting this tiny sesame seed sized baby! Im going to be a mom, Im responsible for this child growing in me. I was really thinking the other day and was just amazed that the Lord trusts me with something so tiny and important.
Nick is being wonderful too, we went grocery shopping the other night and he got only healthy food. He said he wants me and the baby to be healthy and taken care of. We are going for walks every evening and eating healthy! The baby and I are so lucky to have such a wonderful husband/dad in our lives. I think we are both still in shock but already I'm impatient to find out if its a girl or boy; to feel the baby move around and kick; to see pictures...
If you have any advice you want to give, please give it. We have no idea what we are doing. I've talked to some people and they have said I've only had one but I can give advice if you want. Well, I've never been pregnant so any advice is better than me guessing! I'm so nervous but at the same time this is going to be the longest wait of my life!

I open my eyes and crap there are 2 solid bright pink lines! Im thinking this isn't right, I mean I bought it for a dollar. Well I told Nick on our way to sign the lease for our apartment and well I couldn't have thought of a worse time. He was already stressed with moving and now the possibility of me being pregnant. So he said I should take another test Sunday to make sure. We told family that there was a possibility but not to get hopes up.
Sunday morning I took the other test, - ment no + means yes....easy enough. I take the test and only see the one line. Remembering last time I wait a little longer and here comes another solid pink line! Nick woke up later around noon and said "Are you still pregnant?" I said "yeah here is the test," he looks at me and says, "I should have slept longer."
So Nick and I are now expecting our first kid! And here I thought I had the stomach flu and that my body was having a hard time fighting it off! We are really excited, nervous and scared! It's a mix of everything still! I mean we weren't trying and didn't want to get pregnant till summer. But the Lord has other plans for us!
I'm so amazed with it all right now. Here we thought the baby is still basically nothing and well according to things online, Im about 5 weeks along, my baby looks like a little manatee and had nubs for arms and legs! I wanted to cry I couldn't believe that in 5 weeks that much has happened. Organs are forming and everything! It's changed my life already. Everything I eat or do is affecting this tiny sesame seed sized baby! Im going to be a mom, Im responsible for this child growing in me. I was really thinking the other day and was just amazed that the Lord trusts me with something so tiny and important.
Nick is being wonderful too, we went grocery shopping the other night and he got only healthy food. He said he wants me and the baby to be healthy and taken care of. We are going for walks every evening and eating healthy! The baby and I are so lucky to have such a wonderful husband/dad in our lives. I think we are both still in shock but already I'm impatient to find out if its a girl or boy; to feel the baby move around and kick; to see pictures...
If you have any advice you want to give, please give it. We have no idea what we are doing. I've talked to some people and they have said I've only had one but I can give advice if you want. Well, I've never been pregnant so any advice is better than me guessing! I'm so nervous but at the same time this is going to be the longest wait of my life!

I have a ton to catch up on!
So I'm really sorry that I haven't posted anything in forever. I really have no excuse just being lazy I guess. But a super quick catch up... February, Nick and I went to Vegas for my birthday/Valentines; we had a total blast. I took tons of pictures so Im going to put a slide show up here really soon, I promise. On the way there we passed this lady that was on the side of the road and seemed to be kind of upset. So Nick pulled over to help her and she waved like she was fine or something. Nick still got out of the car to make sure everything was ok and she said she just had to pull over because she had a really big burp that she had to get out!!!
That was the perfect way to start out our trip. We were there for 4 days and just loved it. It was amazing there, I can't wait to go back! But since I'm writing all this in a hurry I can't say much more.
Well as some of you know Nick and I have been looking for our own little home for a while; we spent all of February searching and found nothing great. Well about 2 weeks ago we found a place. Its on 47th south about about 9th east. It's a wonderful place, which is the reason this post is short and not full of details. We are moving in TODAY! We are really, really excited!
Our first little home; its so cute! But I promise to write more soon, but I really need to finish packing and everything!
