Boy or Girl

Most of you know already but On wed. the the 6th of Aug. we went to the doc again to find out what we are having, a Boy or a Girl. I was pretty sure it was a boy. Every time we went to the store all I would look at is the boy clothes because I was set on having a boy, just a feeling I had. However during our ultra sound the lady told us it was a GIRL. I was like what, are you sure. She said Oh Yeah, I am 100% sure, I would defantly buy pink for sure she said. She explained all we needed to know about how she figured it was a girl to help us see for ourselves. It was absolutly insane and so incredible. Clarke wanted a girl first and I really was fine with whatever gender it was, as long as it is healthy. But I was totally wrong, hahaha Oh well maybe i'll have a boy someday. We are way way excited needless to say.

St. George

2 weekends ago we took a much needed trip to St. George. It was so much fun! We left on Friday after work and then came home on Monday. We didn't do a ton, just mostly hung out with family and shopped. We did drive to Zion's Canyon; it's only 25 miles away from Clarkes parents house....how did we not know that before? Anyway it was a way pretty drive, The mountains there are incredible I never seen such beautiful peaks and mountains we loved it. We didn't drive through the canyon because it was sunday and we didn't want to pay $25 to go through, Maybe another day. We also didn't have air condtioning so I thought I would be dieing of heat or get way sick, but we had lots of cold water and stayed pretty well dehyradted, I was just fine, it wasn't bad at all. We had a blast. It's always fun to visit places like that. Here are some pictures of the beauty! Oh and there was a field of Moose. It was awesome!

Our Frist Dr Apt

On July 1st I finally went to the Doctor(well kinda)...YAY! This day was just to get my blood drawn and talk with the Nurse. It went really fast and I was excited to go back the next day to see the Doctor for real. On Wed the 2nd of July at 8:45am I went and saw Dr. Kirkman For the first time. Everything was going great with the pregnancy. We had an ultra sound and got to see the baby for the first time. It was incredible. I couldn't believe it was really there, it was so werid and so cool. I thought when this day came I would cry when I saw the baby but I think I was still in shock or something because I didn't end up crying, oh well though no big deal! We got 4 pictures that I will post when Clarke gets home with the camera (he's at scout camp). It was the most incredible feeling to know that this 3 in baby is growing inside of me. I'm pretty sure it's grown a lot more since the 2nd. I am really excited for our next apt on the 30th. I will be about 18 in a half weeks then so hopefully we will be able to know what we will be having. I really think it's a boy but you never can be to sure. I'm also excited to see what it looks like if anything has changed from the first time. This is so exciting and so crazy at the same time. I can't even put it into words.

A wonderful sense of joy

What an incredibly wonderful day. I have had such a spiritual uplifting day. Today in sac. we sang 'As we take the sacrament' I couldn't help but cry with an overwelming feeling of joy. The spirit fell upon me like I have never felt before. Our ward has the best people in it. We are always singing so strongly as if we are all so excited to be with our heavenly father someday. I always feel so lucky to have such a wonderful ward family. Esp. our great friends Lindsay and Brad. They are so kind and fun to be with, not to mention their beautiful kids. They are always so happy and so sweet, They just melt your heart. We love you guys! I love Sundays. I love the gospel. I love the way I feel when I am apart of it every day. I love all of you. I hope you all have a great week.

Long Long Week

So this week has already been way crazy.. I worked a 15 hour shift yesterday. I have never done that in my life. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I, surprising was not even tired until I got home. Tomorrow I have to work from 3 til midnight. I am really not looking forward to that at all. Plus i'll be by myself. But I get friday through monday off and we are going out of town..Yeeah! I couldn't be more thrilled. I have been looking forward to this trip for weeks and can't wait to get out of here. Anyway it's already been such a long week I just want it to be Friday. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Our new side business

Here are a few things we have started with. We can do pretty much anything you would like. If you would like us to make you something just let us know. We love doing it.

one more thing.....

I am due on Dec. 30th and I am 9 weeks along.

For Realz

For those of you who don't know yet I am Pregnant. This is for real. Clarke and I are so excited and very nervous. Things have just fallin into place for us and we feel the lord knows what is best for us. We couldn't be more happy. I found out on April 28th and have wanted to post so bad but we had to inform the family and friends first. So that is why it's been a dang month since my last post. Sorry about that. We love all of you!

GOOD NEWS

I am so excited...I got the job! It is a phleb2 position; And I seriously get Beneifts. That is what i'm most excited about. I was walking out to my car after work today and I starting crying, I was so HAPPY and full of gratitude. I feel so blessed. I also got a huge raise, and once I pass this coding class that i'll be going to next month I'll get another 5% raise. I can't believe how everything just works out piece by piece and in it's own time. I am so excited I can't tell you enough! Thank you all for your support. I love you all!
This week in class, actually tonight. I had another 4 successful draws and 4 finger pokes. I hate the finger pokes. I'm so glad we don't do those in the lab. Anyway class is fun and I have 6 weeks left.

Good Week in Class

So this week went a lot better in class. I had 4 successful draws and wasn't scared at all. I was steady and i did a good job. I drew a guy and his veins were so amazing so i'm sure that helped. I really am loving it now. It's so weird how you can be so completly terrified of something and hate it and then the week or so you are totally the opposite. I'm so glad that I am doing better. I had an interview for a phleb/recep on Tues. I really almost threw up I was so nervous...that has never happened to me before. I really shouldn't of even been nervous b/c I know all the ladies who interviewed me, two of them were my supervisor's, But it went well. I will find out if I got the job today or tomorrow. There are 4 canidates and 2 positions. If I get it I will start training right away and work down in the Budge Lab.

Phlebotomy AHHHHH!

So I started my Phlebotomy class last wed.! It is going to be a fun class except I can't seem to stay calm when ever my prof. talks about drawing blood. My heart literally starts beating so fast I have just breath deeply. So The class runs every wed. night and last night we had to start drawing eachothers blood. It was really terrifing for me. I was shaking and had to take several deep breaths. I don't know if I'm going to make it. I really want to be able to master this art but It's going to take a lot of work. I am willing to put the work into it but it's just getting over my fear is the problem. I did pretty well needless to say for my first time ever drawing blood. Let me tell you, it is a definant coordination process. Thats why I call it an art. Last night I also had a nightmare about phlebotomy. I was drawing blood and while I was trying to puch out the tube of blood the needle pulled up not out and forced the skin to rise with it creating a pocket full of blood. I thought the vein was going to explode. I woke up to my heart beating so fast. I was so scared. (I know this sounds weird but i was really scared). I tryed to think of something else but everytime I closed my eyes all I could see or think about was drawing blood. I could barely stand it. I was so mad and frecked out. I finally got back to sleep and woke up and got ready for work and when I thought about drawing blood I was amazingly calm. So maybe the dream just helped me get over my fear. But we will see when the time comes again to draw blood. Sorry this post is so long.

This last weekend Clarke and I went to my brothers house in Syracuse for the third weekend in a row. It was a blast. We went for bike ride-(motorcycle ride) Watched conference and just hung out. I also got a free old vintage sowing machine from my sister in laws parents. It is awesome. I have been wanting a sowing machine FOREVER and now I have one YAY! Plus my friend Jem from work is going to give me sowing lessons. Here are some cute/cool pictures of the weekend of family. Mostly my cute nephew Jett. He's going pro....(basketball).....when he gets older. Tee Hee!

I just wanted to post something amazing on this most special day.
I AM PREGNANT!
