Heart Beat!

I had a check up today (being diabetic even though the baby and I are both doing great I live at the Doctors Office) and expecting that they were not going to anything cool I told Logan he didn't have to come for this one because it was more about me and them wanting to manage my levels closely than it was about the baby.... So I was kinda sad when I got to hear the heart beat for the first time and Logan wasn't there. It's OK I guess since we have another appointment and ultrasound on Monday! Did I mention I have finally found the upside to being diabetic, We get to have an ultrasound every few weeks! The heart beat was amazing it was so quick. When the intern found the baby, of course the baby moved and she had to start over trying to find it... Hmmm what a stinker definitely a Daddy trait not Mommy.... ok, ok maybe that's a little like Mommy too! Haha Logan and I are going to have our hands full but if they have even an ounce of either of us we already knew that, and that is exactly what we want a happy, fun, energetic, baby!

Prego Raego

You can thank my incredible dad for the Title of this post... SO being pregnant has actually been pretty great so far, well minus a few things and really there are only a few! Logan and I recently decided to go camping with our best friends Logan and Kassidee Phillips, I of course ended up having what seemed like the worst allergy problems of my life that weekend... being in my first trimester I did not want to take any medication that wasn't my insulin (Being a protective mom apparently starts very early) and being as stubborn as I am I didn't, despite the allergy side effects we had a really great time spending time with them before they moved to North Dakota! Monday after returning from a great weekend of camping I was so excited to find that I had a HUGE cold sore...NOT! Ohhh yes I had the cold sore just not excited about it, this then turned into 3 cold sores growing together to create 1 giant quarter sized (no joke) COLD SORE..... it also caused my top lip to swelling looking like a horrible botox job gone bad.... Finally 2 weeks later its finally almost gone! I blame this on pregnancy because 1 I have NEVER had a cold sore that bad or that swelled and 2 because my Doctors office informed me that some women who get cold sores see worse and more flare ups during their pregnancy YEA ME!! 
Now that I have gotten the one only real problem I have had the last 11 weeks I can also say that I have been extremely lucky when it comes to morning sickness I have had so little you may even say none that was until Monday.  Its been so great to get a little queasy if I dont eat by certain times or needing to slow down  a little and being tired but not actually sick.... I like to say i probably have a higher tolerance because Im diabetic and it seems really similar to when my blood sugar is high or low. I have been so blessed to be so healthy especially since I spend so much time with Ruby while her Mommy is at work but MONDAY was awful  I was up every 5 to 15 minutes sick until about noon and Randi and Logan were both working all day .... I was lucky enough that my parents were able to come over from Heber for the day and help with Ruby and to help me feel a little better ... My parents are the best!
All in all this post is really me trying to say how blessed I've been to not be sick and how much I have loved being pregnant so far I really have nothing to complain about and why would I even if I was miserable the last 11 weeks there is nothing I want more than to have a baby and be a mommy!

The Rice Cooker!

That's right family and friends I have a little Rice cooking inside me! Logan and I are so happy to say that we are 10 weeks along  Due April 9, 2012. We had our first ultrasound on Friday, it was so incredible. I think actually seeing our little baby made it seem more real for both of us. Logan has been great, I'm sure most of you have heard him use the phrase "No Babies", but as soon as we started the ultrasound he pulled out his phone recorded the whole thing and changed his background to the ultrasound picture. He even got a little teary eyed.... He is going to be the best daddy, we are so lucky to have him! We have loved being an Aunt and Uncle so much and are so excited to be blessed enough to finally have one of our own! I of course have already started buying and picking things out (surprising to anyone??... Didn't think so!) For example I have already bought the material for the bedding and have found both a stroller that I love and a car seat! OOHH and I've looked at paint samples.... Am I driving Logan Crazy of course I am but really would you expect anything less from me?
