Man is there NEWS!

My life never seems to be calm. But I might bring that on myself. Well, a lot has happened. I have moved up to Sandy for the next little while (friends let’s play!). I have done this for many reasons. First off, Gary joined the Air National Guard! He will be leaving for 6 months and I didn’t want to live in St George all by myself… not only because there is no point, BUT I am PREGNANT! I didn’t want to go through everything alone especially if there were any complications and I didn’t have anyone to help me. Although I will miss my friends and ward down there!

My first choice of where to live worked out. And sure happy it did because my mom doesn’t have any room… well unless you count a half of a bedroom with food storage and a fridge in it! I don’t know if any of you have an in law that you would feel comfortable living with WITHOUT your husband? But I don’t. So my dearly family the Brunson’s that I have lived with for 6 years off and on since I was 18 offered their home once again to me. They are amazing and listen to what Rick (the dad) said to me when I asked if he wants me to pay rent. “No, we don’t want anything. We do this in hopes that those we help can do things for others.” What an amazing man. We do help around the house, Gary has spent 2 full days with some construction things they are doing on the house (which I’m sure he will be helping out more on other days) and I try to do dishes once in a while and show appreciation for all they do. We also have taken kids to school and other things. Although it doesn’t pay for all they do we hope they realize our gratitude.

About pregnancy… well I will do a whole post on the craziness but as for general information.  I am 12 weeks along. I am due March 28^th (well this is MY calculations not a dr.’s) I haven't actually had a first dr's appointment yet. :/ I had a free consultation and the midwife asked if we wanted to hear the heart beat! Yay! It was so cool. It actually was cooler for Gary. I mean it was awesome for me but here is the back story on that:

The night before this I had a dream that I sort of had a dream that I miscarried. But I wasn’t worried I have had lots of weird crazy dreams and didn’t feel like this was a premonition or anything. I also have been sick and the realization of me having a baby has come from all the weird things that happen with pregnancy. So when the midwife starts searching for the heartbeat and she can’t find it for quite a long time Gary actually got nervous. (I just thought it is probably hard to find) Then she found it. Fast little heartbeat of 175 beats per minute and it made the realization for Gary a lot more real. It was very cool to listen to but it was Gary’s moment of truth… I feel like it will even be more for him when we get an ultra sound!

Anyway, that is our update. Up in Sandy, I’m prego, Gary joined the Air Guard and leaving for basic on a date we will find out in the near future.
