De plane, de plane!

We visited Seth's parents last weekend for lunch and to share baby pics and video with them! They were excited to see their little grandbaby literally grow before their eyes in the 3 ultrasound videos we have! So fun to share that! Then we went to the Fullerton Airport for the plane show they were having! It was neat because Seth's company (OCFA - Orange County Fire Authority) has a fire station there with some helicopters! We were able to check it all out and it was a great afternoon!


This is Seth and his parents and one of OCFA's helicopters! His parents are so proud of Seth and his career choice! They are supportive and interested in it all and it is fun watching them at this fair as Seth was showing them stuff, just beaming!

On a side note... our carpet is back to normal! Yay! Thanks Josh! Now I can laugh about my nasty incident! :) On an even happier note I talked to a nurse yesterday about the glucose test and how I didn't do so well keeping in down. She talked to my doctor and they are giving me a pass for now! Double YAY! So no more nasty orange drink this month! We'll see what happens with that later! :) That's all I got for now, off to make banana bread to shove in my face!

If life gives you oranges...

Don't do what I did! So just a disclaimer for those of you with a weak stomach, this may not be the post for you! I must also say that sometimes I am not very smart.. okay, NOW I can get to my post!

So today I decided would be the day that I would take care of my Glucose Test(AKA - The devil's drink!)where you drink this nasty orange crap and then go to the lab an hour later for a blood test! No biggy, right? Nope! I was so wrong! I took a pic of the actual full bottle before drinking because I wanted to complain about it on here, I just didn't realize it would be to this degree! I should have known to due to the problems I had with keeping it down previously when I wasn't pregnant!( I did keep it down those times, but it was REALLY hard!) But no I thought I could handle it! HA!!! So I ate a little lunch (since fasting wasn't necessary this time around), waited an hour and got positioned at our computer upstairs to be distracted with surfing the net while I sucked it down... good plan in theory, so I thought! Hindsight is 20/20 and bright orange though...

Yep! You are seeing it right... be glad it is not a closer look! Quickly after sucking it down it came right back up! It wasn't even down 30 seconds! I tried to keep it down, cover my mouth and run but as you can see I didn't get very far! I made it about 15 feet before it went squirting everywhere! I was so mad at myself for not having a bowl or at least a bag with me! WHAT WAS I THINKING!? And as I sit here I see 2 things in this room that I could have spewed into and it wouldn't have been as bad, but obviously my mind doesn't work that fast! So for the next hour and a half I got to clean up this lovely mess! (I couldn't even have done it when Seth was home either, he would have totally cleaned it for me out of pity! That's a good husband by the way!) So I got most of it up and now it looks like this...

Thank you Magic Eraser, it totally got the splatter marks on the walls. But as you can see the carpet is definitely stained... why does that crap have to be neon orange?! Luckily I am related to an awesome Chem-dry guy who will hopefully be able to get the rest out for us! Now I still have to do the test or try to I guess I should say, so Seth and I plan on going to the lab tomorrow to do it there! Then if I have another situation like this it will be on their turf and I can walk away! Sorry if this has been too disgusting for any of you, but I warned you! And to those of you who got a good laugh, you are welcome! I will one day laugh at this too, probably when my carpet is clean! Now in the meantime you can help me feel better by posting your most disgusting mess story! Take a picture of the stain it left(if it is still there)for me and post away! You are all tagged!!!!!

3 months! Into the 2nd Trimester Safely!

We cannot believe how much time seems to be flying by! We are now safely into the 2nd trimester and we are so thankful for the odds to be so much better for this little baby will be healthy and in our arms soon enough! These are the ultrasounds pics and video from the last month, it has been fun watching he or she get so big! About the size of a peach now, moving up in the fruit group! :)

These are the 10 week and 6 day ultrasound pics...

As you can see in the lower right hand side of the pic the baby is right on track - yay!

Some 3D of our little peanut, we thought this pic was so cute! Looks like he or she is rubbing its eyes!

The baby's heart beat! Still strong and a little fast at 194 bpm, we joke that it will have ADD like Mommy!!


Here are some 13 week pics...

Crazy how a couple weeks makes such a big difference! Our baby is getting bigger and looks like a cute baby now! Here is he or she stretching it seems!

This is the heartbeat and you can see that it has gone down a little to 171 bpm and is within the perimeters! So maybe we we won't have as hyper as a kid as we were thinking originally! LOL! Only time will tell!

This has got to be one of the creepiest pics yet! It's supposed to be a cute Bye-Bye pic cause this was our last appt at our in-vitro office(we are so sad to leave them, they are awesome!), but this pic makes our baby look satanic! So creepy! Seth said it looks like it will chew its way out! GREAT... bring on the crazy pregnancy nightmares!! Those should be fun experiences for me!

Okay, are you ready for the onslaught of videos?! I wish I could have had it all in one cause it wasn't really that long, but our camera has only been doing 30 second recordings lately! Time for a new camera! Enjoy...





These 2 show the Doctor trying to figure out the sex, she could not determine... what do you think? We don't find out till right before Halloween, so take your best guess at our poll on the sidebar!



So this is my 3 month shot...

As you can see the belly is getting bigger! :) I love it! It makes it so much more real!

This last month has been great! Except for a few spewing episodes I have been feeling really good most of the time! I'm so glad I am able to enjoy and do things while being pregnant! My poor mom and sisters were not the same way and I can't imagine feeling like crap 24/7! I really only had 2 really bad weeks early August and then I really didn't have an appetite for anything for a few more weeks, so I would force myself to eat! Now my appetite is back and I am ravenous every 3 hours! :) I'm so glad! It will be interesting to see how much weight I put on, so far nothing. Seth says I'm trading weight with the baby. I've been having crazy dreams lately! I had one about the baby and our cat, who cloned itself? Then it kept coming in our birthing room and I was getting pretty mad! I usually have dreams about something that was in my day or something I thought about, nothing that makes sense though! For example: Our friends the McDowells blessed their baby in church a week and a half ago and before I went to bed the night before I was preparing to wake up to get there on time(Our ward starts at 8:30 and it has been hard for me lately, I've been extra tired)! So I tried to get as prepared as possible so I could make it! So hence.. my dream was about me and Niki McDowell in our bishop's office together and she was telling the Bishop that she has been catching her husband Clint smoking in the middle of the night! Which is so ridiculous and funny, but I remember feeling extremely uncomfortable - it is crazy how vivid these dreams are! Sorry to post that Niki, I've been meaning to tell you about it but I keep forgetting(another pregnancy trait I think)! Anyways just an example of my crazy dreams, Clint does not smoke and he is the Bishop's faithful clerk who blessed his baby girl beautifully the next day!! :) Love you guys! We have been officially released from our In-vitro office to Kaiser for the rest of the pregnancy! I was kinda scared, but we met with an awesome mid-wife last week and she made me feel a lot better! I have to do a nasty insulin orange fizzy syrup test this week to check my levels since I am Hypoglycemic(one of the things that caused my infertility) and they are worried about me getting Gestational Diabetes. I have been on Metformin for over a year now and they hope that by keeping me on it for the entire pregnancy it will help me to keep the Diabetes away! I hope so! Time will tell. So that is about it for now! Sorry this is the longest post EVER, but as you can tell we are excited and it is still setting in for us! :)

Happy Anniversary Baby!

I love me some September! Mostly cause that is when I met Seth, 10 Labor Days ago! And then we got married 4 years after that and THEN we got sealed together forever 4 years after that! So I really love September! It has proven to be a good month for us and our love! Yesterday was our 6th Anniversary! Seems like it was yesterday somedays, I love Seth SO MUCH and time life seems to be flying by with him! I scanned in some of my favorite wedding photos to share in this slide show, enjoy...

So being that it has been 6 years and that we haven't done anything too big in the last few years to celebrate it AND this is our last year without kiddos.. we wanted to really have a good time and do something fun! I was trying to find something awesome, to go out of town or get a couples massage or something! BUT, everything is so freaking expensive! So Instead of having one expensive hour of relaxation we opted to surprise each other with some stuff we love! I planned dinner at Benihana's(MMMMMMMMMMM! SO good!), they sang us a nice song and took our picture! :) And then a night in a Marriot(got a great price, gotta research people!), so we could wake up and go to the LA County Fair! Now to be honest this isn't my favorite thing, but I know that Seth LOVES it and he missed out on the OC and San Diego Fairs! So I tried to surprise him with it, but he guessed friday night! :( Oh well, I still had another surprise up my sleeve! So after the fair it was Seth's turn to surprise me, we drove to Brea and he took me to the Improv there to have dinner and see my favorite comedian Jay Mohr! I was so excite! He is so funny! It was a great evening! The next day, Sunday the 7th (our actual anniversary) we went to church! I love going to church with my husband, so great to sit next to him and feel the spirit so strong! We then went to my final surprise for Seth! :) A Dinali Family Festival in Santa Ana, it is an Indian festival with Bollywood dancing - which Seth LOVES! He was really surprised and we had a great afternoon being "culturized"! Happy Anniversary my love, I can't imagine going through life with anyone else!

Here are some pics from the rest of our weekend celebration...

Another pic of us at Benihana's

At the LA Fair! Baby goats, just born within the hour! Aren't they adorable?! Wouldn't it be crazy if our babies could walk that fast! Scary!

Big Momma and baby pigs! I'm afraid this might be me in March! LOL!

Seth rubbing another pig, it was huge! Seth really loves the fair for the petting zoo stuff! :)

Us and the Indian Festival!

Some of the beautiful dancers!

My Indian Henna Hand tattoo!

Seth made me try some of the dancing, lets just say I dance like a white/black girl and Indian dancing might not be my forte! :)
