Taken at my beautiful sister's wedding!

How far along are you?

To answer that I would have to know which Doctor you want an answer from.
The Fertility Doctor says about 11 weeks 5 days or so, but my new OB says about 13 weeks.  So when am I do? UM Somewhere between January 28th and February 9th.
Our poor OB had such a problem getting good pictures of our Peanut.  It was moving around everywhere.  She asked if I could feel the movement yet and I have not, but she said good luck once you can.  It was quite amazing how active the baby was.
So far I have been blessed to have a great pregnancy so far.  No morning sickness and I have not gained any weight as of yet.
CJ and I are quite excited and every time we get to have an ultra sound it just testifies to me how much God helps us!  
The next doctor appointment will be at the end of August, we are only a few weeks away from seeing what we are having.  
What do you think, Girl or Boy?

Progress is made

We are still in a state of euphoria about our pregnancy! I am still feeling really good.  No morning sickness (both sister-in-laws are jealous of this), no big cravings.

Since we were with a fertility doctor and on fertility drugs before we got pregnant, my doctor wanted to do one last check up before turning me over to a general OB. So we went in today to have another ultra sound done.
So as soon as we saw this picture our little peanut started wiggling around. I immediately said "oh my it looks like a gummy bear." Our Peanut was moving around the entire time, it was so neat to see.  We saw the heart beat and it was beating just as it should be!

When we returned to the car CJ started laughing and when I asked he started singing this song:

NOW IT IS STUCK IN MY HEAD!

FINALLY

WE DID IT! We are pregnant!

It was kind of out of the blue.  We were in the middle of an IUI cycle that was cancelled.  I was suppose to be waiting for my period to start and then start Birth Control for a month so my body could get back to normal, I even went and got the birth control.
Well my period never started and once back from Girls Camp I decided I should probably rule out pregnancy and call the doctor to let him know I have yet to start.

Thursday June 14th at 4:45am I had to pee and figured I would take the test and go back to bed.  So I washed my hands got a drink and looked at the test, PREGNANT.  I saw it right there, I could not believe it.

I made CJ sit up and he was a little annoyed as his alarm was suppose to go off in 15 mins, but once he realized what I was holding and saw the screen he got a big smile on his face as well.
When the Fertility Clinic opened I called and got an appointment for a blood test.  
They called at about 2:30 and I was pregnant!

We kept it from close family till Fathers day and skyped with CJ and I's parents and called a few others.  The rest of you will get this in email or by reading it.

June 28 2012, this is our first OB appointment and we got to see our little peanut! We are measuring at 7 weeks and 1 day!  We were able to see the heart beat.  Doc said baby is growing at the normal rate and we should have a good pregnancy!

We are offically due February 9th 2013.



We are so excited and well I am still in denial for a while!

Finally Did It!

Look what I got the first of the month! 
For my non member friends this is a Young women Medallion.  It represents the achievement of me completing Young Women's Personal Progress Book.  This book is suppose to be completed by girls between the ages of 12-18, it is contains 8 different values Faith, Divine Nature, Individual Worth, Knowledge, Choice and Accountability, Good Works, Integrity, and Virtue.  Each of these values has experience that include reading scriptures and an opportunity to change who you are and get to know who you are and who you want to be.

Since I am a convert to the church I did not go through Young Women, so as a leader I took 4 years to complete mine and yes those 4 years I held a calling in Young Women.

This sounds funny, but I am so Proud of myself!

Girls Camp

This was my third year attending Girls Camp!  I had a lot of fun!  This year I was called by the Stake to do Second year Certifications.  I was a little scared, but once I started reading through the manual and found a lot of the certifications could and would be covered by stake activities and by going on a hike!  Lets do a little comparison:

Arizona Camp- All dirt and trees, log cabins, no door, community bathrooms, a little creek

South Carolina- Grass fields and trees, Cabins with Air Conditioning and bathrooms in the cabin, a lake and a pool.  Did I mention air conditioning in all the cabins and buildings we used!

The leaders there for my ward were friends and we had a lot of laughs with the girls and we got to know the girls so well!

We were able to canoeing and swimming in the lake.

The leaders made some really cute Orange shirts for the ward to wear and we liked matching.  We went on a really good hike and afterwards we did some Zumba!

Each day was full of great activities and opportunities for the girls to have fun and get to know each other and their leaders. 
This year the girls made a huge STAR as their flag and had to do a dance for their skit, they did such a great job!
Great Camp, Great FUN!
