Update on pregnancy

So I ended up having to move up the date for my 1st appointment. I have been so sick, so in order for them to give me anything for it, I had to go in. It wasn't the most fun appointment, there was no ultrasound or hearing the heart beat yet.. just stuff you don't look forward to. But, I got the medicine. I actually just took my first dose & am anxiously waiting for it to kick in.

I am 7 weeks along (yesterday). & like I said before they are telling me I am due March 17th. I go back September 2nd for the next check up.

That's all for now!

Big News!!

Just wanted to announce to you that don't know, that Jason & I found out last Friday (July, 18th) that we are going to be parents! We are very excited. We went to the Dr. & confirmed it on the following Monday. I have been very sick but try to keep my head up & remind myself why! I am very excited to be a mom & can't wait to meet this little one inside of me. It's an amazing experience already! They told me that my approximate due date is March 17th. I go back August 6th to get my first ultrasound etc.. & they said they may change that date.

Just keep us in your prayers!

Couldn't Resist!

Please Pray for the Entwistles

Ben Entwistle, Age 20, passed away yesterday night. He was in Nairobi, Africa & became very ill. They were airlifting him to South Africa for a very dangerous emergency surgery, & he passed away on the plane before getting there. His dad was there with him & I know the whole family needs a whole lot of prayer right now. Just another reminder that our time here on earth is so limited & we never know when it's our time to go.

Romans 14:8- For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.

July 4th Beach Trip

On July 4th weekend we took a trip to the beach. We went to the fireworks, went out on the boat on Saturday, went to the ocean, & brought back Mac & Sissy. We had a great time! Here are several pictures from this trip, of course I had to add a couple of the puppies. :-)

Two years ago the same time of year, I talked to Jason on the phone for the first time & we began our relationship. The next year after that, Jason & I were already a married couple & went there for July 4th. This was our 2nd year going together & there are a lot of memories connected to the time of year & the trip has become our little special tradition. :-)

Mac & Sissy

Around 5 weeks back I found out that my aunts dog had 5 puppies... as soon as we found out we knew we wanted to get one. We went down for the July 4th weekend & ending up bringing back two. They are so sweet & adorable. The shorter haired one is Sissy & the one with the longer hair is Mac. They are already spoiled!

Fun at the zoo

Jason, Hanna, Emma, & I took a trip to the zoo last Monday. Here are a couple pictures we took there. We had a great time there & enjoyed seeing all the animals.
