So the Answer to Your Question is YES!!!

About 3 months ago the following things took place....

1.
It was faint, but positive

Didn't believe it so....

2.

Still couldn't believe it so...

3. I was going in for some other blood tests and so one more wouldn't hurt and it came back
POSITIVE!!!!

So the answer to your question is yes, I'm pregnant!!!

My due date is May 18th which makes me 12 weeks on Monday. I can't believe that I am already through the first trimester! I have been pretty lucky as far as being sick. I haven't missed a single day of work, but a few trips to see the white throne have been made and my trash can has been my good buddie these last couple of weeks. It has almost all past now and I am feeling so much better now and am getting back to the gym and normal life, kind of.


These are the first pics of our "Little Ricelett," as Nate has named it and now our fams too, at 7.5 weeks.


This one is from today at 11.5 weeks and maybe we should be calling it our "Little Limelett"since that's about its size now.


This will make grandbaby #2 for my family and #1 or #2 for Nate's family. My sister-in-law, Nate's older bother's wife, is also pregnant and we are due within a week of each other. We are SO EXCITED for this and now to be able to share our new with all of you. We kept it on the down low mostly because it is my very first pregnancy and so you never know what would happen in the scary first little while, but we now have the all clear to shout it out!!! Ya hoo!!!!!!!!!!!

Fun in the Fall

Yesterday Nate's parents, little sister, and some of her friends came up to Logan. We went and picked out pumpkins for next weekend's family Halloween carving night and then hit one of the local corn mazes. (There are about 7-8 in Cache Valley alone) The one we went to had this huge pyramid made of giant hay bales and all these tunnels that wound around inside. Nate and I couldn't resist climbing around in it. We then hit the corn maze. Surprisingly it didn't take us too long to get through. Once it got dark we went through the haunted river trail. It was hilarious. When you have four 14 year old girls with you that scream at the top of their lungs at every movement and sound it was more comical then scary. However, we did jump a few times when things would pop out and fall on us. It was a fun night and we look forward to next weekend when we will be with the Nate's whole family for some dinner in a pumpkin, carving contest, card tournaments, and other festive activities when we get together at the Whipple cabin.

Our Other Wedding Pitures

When Nate and I got married we only had about 20 min to a half hour to do pics of just us. We got a few and they turned out pretty well, but we didn't get to do all the fun and different photo op spots. Nate's cousin was our photographer and is very talented so she said that we would just go back after things settled down. Well things didn't settle down and we never got to go back, but we did however find time a year later. I know it is kind of weird, but we (I) wanted some fun ones to put up around our home and do fun decorating things with them. We got them done almost one year to the date. They turned out AMAZING and I am so excited to get some printed and framed and just had to share some of our favorites.
