It's a BOY!!!

We can "officially" announce we are having a BABY BOY!!!! We are so excited! I wished that I could could have gotten a picture of Bren'ts face when he saw, it was priceless!

So here is one of the views that we saw...two legs..a bum..and A BOY!!

Here is a video of the Carver family finding out on Christmas Eve while we were visiting in Utah!!!

Here is a video of the Law family finding out. We were not able to be there but we were on the phone and able to hear their reaction!!

We love you all and are so excited for our baby BOY!!!

.......Boy or Girl......

Today we had a doctors appointment and Ultrasound! We were able to find out the gender of the baby! Unfortunately we will not be posting or making the announcement on here until Christmas when our families know! But We will share some pictures and tell of most of the experience!!

This Picture was while we were waiting to go into the ultrasound. I had a very full bladder, as I was told that I should so that we could get a better picture of the baby! I must say I don't ever recall my bladder ever being so full!! BUT it was well worth it!! OH and I have only gained one pound since my last visit! I was shocked..and it was probably all the fluid I was holding in :) But they said I'm fine..So a total of 3 pound gain from my normal weight! 5-10 is normal at this point.

The first thing the ultrasound tech said was "oh yes, your bladder is quite full...that makes my day". Apparently she likes it when the bladder is full! As you can see on my right arm they drew blood right before. I have actually never had that happen..Besides the IV for this pregnancy! How fun..

Here is the baby's profile! He/She was actually laying flat right before this picture was taken. It's like the baby knew we were going to take a picture and tried to pose by sticking its feet up in the air!As you can see the legs are up in air..as its laying there quite contently..After the picture the legs went back down!

During the ultrasound Brent was asking a few questions. The gal would stop with the thing just sitting in one spot. At one point the baby was looking away and as Brent spoke it turned its head as if it was looking directly at us. Off coarse the eyes are still closed..but it made it very real!

This is a picture of the Baby's face. If you look closely the black patch on the tummy, that is the heart.

We had such a good experience! We so excited for this Baby!!! We were able to see a lot..including a little thing that shows the blood that flows through the baby! How amazing it was to see everything that is happening with our baby!!! We can't wait to tell everyone!! They did say that everything looks good and is developing right from what they can see. Stay tuned for the update!!!

Mom & Netta Visit

Mom and Netta came to visit this week. It was nice to spend some time with them. I'm really glad that they could come. Of coarse they picked the best weekend!! This week as you might know it decided to snow---in full force!

Well Our weekend started late Friday night. We stayed up till midnight chatting and decided what to do with out Saturday! I probably would have gotten more pictures if the weather had permitted. So Saturday morning there was quit a bit of snow on the ground. Thank you to Justin and Jamie who allowed mom and Netta to bring up a pair of their old snow tires for our car. Its been nice this last couple of days. There is a sense of security with them. So we took the car to Les Swab..than headed to the Temple. We went through 9:00 session.

We tried getting some pictures..If you can tell our hair and dresses are going everywhere. The wind was blowing quite a bit of snow around! Burr....

So Brent and I hadn't set up our Christmas tree yet. Before I knew it Mom and Netta had pulled it out and as you can see started putting it up. Needless to say..all of our Christmas decorations are up. We some shopping during the day. It was pretty much just freezing though so we didn't go far!

Jesse and Teagen came down to spend some time with us all. When Brent got home from work it was pretty funny cause the boys gathered around the fish tank. Brent was sticking a string with something on the end of it..trying to catch one of the fish.

Jesse and Teagen opened an early Christmas present..I couldn't resist..Jesse in his finest moment rubbing moms ears..Haha..She wasn't to excited about me taking a picture..but before the picture she actually looked like she was enjoying it!

Well Sunday morning came...we went to sacrament than came home finished up the roast and headed to Idaho Falls to have dinner there. Brent hasn't been feeling well (getting a flu bug) so I went alone. We ate and I was off..Leaving mom and Netta to stay the night with Jesse tonight. They will be heading home in the morning.!! Thanks for the gifts mom and dad! and Netta to driving up here for a fun cold adventure!!! We miss your guy's company already!

16 Weeks 4 Days

I figured it was time to make another post of how my tummy is growing. Yes, it seems like it is actually looking more like I'm pregnant now. Although I must say, some people still can't notice. This girl at work did not know I was pregnant until yesterday when I announced we find out next week the Gender! Merry Christmas to us!!

Now of coarse these cloths are to show the definition of the tummy. You don't see me wearing this everyday. So its understandable that people don't really notice! :)

FYI: all the couples on Brents side of the family either had a baby this last month or are expecting. His Brother Chris and his wife just had a baby girl Nov 7th. Sister Nicole- Had a baby girl Dec 3. Sister Carrie- Is expecting Twin Baby girls like 3-4 weeks before I am due! 5 new Grandbabies for Papa and Nana Carver all within 6 months of each other!! So we will see if we are like the others and have a Girl...or my like sister Julie-who is expecting a baby Boy on Feb 23 (my birthday might I add!) None-the-less we don't mind! We just pray it is healthy!

We are sooo excited for next week! Although... most of our family will not know the gender until Christmas! Ha ha we'll see what happens when I step on the scale for this months check up!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

This morning we woke up to a couple inches of snow on the ground. It snowed for a couple hours in the morning than stopped. It was beautiful but I will admit not fun to drive in...


I know that more will come but its fun to be somewhere where the snow will actually stick!

One Year Anniversary

On Sunday November 30 it was our One Year mark. Time has really flown by. It feels like it was just yesterday that our family and friends were gathered around us in the beautiful temple. This last year I have learned a lot of new things about Brent and also about life. As I'm sure that Brent could also say the same. Its amazing what an eternal marriage can do for someone. I feel so blessed to be sealed to Brent for time and eternity and to be starting our family. What an exciting thing in life to have someone to grow old with.

Brent and I didn't do too much for our anniversary. We did go to the Olive Garden and took our rings into the jeweler to get re-dipped. We were traveling home from Boise on Sunday. When Brent and I got home Brent went strait to the freezer to pull out the top of our wedding cake. I was surprised knowing that Brent is not much of a cake fan. Needless to say we still have not tried a piece. Kinda scared its going to taste gross.

We are still on our journey...Here's to the years ahead...

Here is the top of our cake. Its a little flattened in some spots but other than that it looks pretty good!

We just really want to say thanks to everyone and their support. We really appreciate everything that everyone has done for us this past year. We love you all!!!
