For my sister!!

Talking to my sister on the phone today, she said "I think it is time for a belly shot!" So I took out my camera and took a photo. Well all the photos made me look fat and really big, so guess what you don't get a belly shot! I'm starting to not feel cute anymore, I'm just starting to feel like a big fat whale, but I know me feeling like a big fat whale is for a good cause! I love our little soccer/football player! I love how he moves around and has hiccups! I even love this little soccer/football player when he gives me killer heart burn, acid reflex, back pain, and lack of sleep! but I still can't fathom how I can have a baby growing inside of me, and how the lord created us to do so!!

So I think you are not going to get anymore belly shots because I just feel big, and I am afraid people are going to say "Wow, she is way bigger then she should be" or "Wow, that lady put on a lot of weight with this baby!" So there you have it folks, the only way you are getting pictures is if my husband hacks in to the blog and puts them up and I really don't see that happening so there. So, the big pregnant lady and spoken!

Our trip!!

Okay so I have become really bad at taking pictures, I use to take picture all the time! There was always a camera in my purse at all times, Now a days I never have my camera in my purse and if I do I forget to take pictures. So I am sorry for the lack of pictures everyone!

Our trip started on Thursday morning at 5am our flight left at 11 am, but we live 3 hours away from the Airport in Phoenix and we had to be there an hour and a half before our flight left. So we flew from Phoenix to Chicago (which was late we were to leave at 6pm but didn't leave till about 8:30pm) Chicago to Milwaukee. We arrived in Milwaukee around 9:30pm picked up our rental car which happened to be one of these beauties, lol!!



We arrived at our hotel just before 11pm, which happened to be one of these hotels it wasn't the greatest but hey, all we really needed it for was to sleep and shower!!



Friday we had half the day to do whatever before the conference started, well we were exhausted so we slept till 11 got up and ready for the day, so in all reality we had 2 hours to do something. Well down town Milwaukee doesn't have very much parking, and well none of it is free!!! So we drove around for a hour looking for parking and a place to eat. finally found one for $6 a day for parking and a mall to eat at
both which were only a block and a half away from the Arena the conference was in.



So the conference started at 7 and went till midnight, made it back to the hotel around midnight thirty. That night there was a thunder storm, and I was laying a wake watching the lighting and listening to the thunder, where all of a sudden there was a bright flash and not a second later a big crash of thunder, which made David and our little soccer/football player jump. It was quite humorous.

The next morning was up at 6 to eat breakfast and then off to the Arena at 8 to find a seat. Conference started a 10:30 am went till 4. Then had a break till 7. So a group of us from Arizona got together and had pizza and chatted about the conference so far, which had been really good! We then went back at 7pm and it went till 2am. This Leadership conference was quite amazing, I think we are on information overload. I loved how everyone there was so nice and friendly and positive, it really was a great conference.



Anyways we returned back to the hotel to get ready for our early morning flight. We had a 2 hour nap then got up to make it back to the airport to drop off the rental car and make our 6:40 am flight. We flew from Milwaukee to Minneapolis, then Minneapolis to Phoenix. We got back to Phoenix at 10:30 am. We then made it back home at around 2pm.

That was our weekend, Like I said sorry for the lack of photos, And thanks everyone that read our blog!

Ultrasound #4 is good :D

Since we found out we were expecting our little soccer player we have had four ultrasounds. First one at 7 weeks to make sure there was a heart beat. Second one at 10 weeks to make sure everything was going good with this pregnancy since we had miscarried at 8 weeks in our first pregnancy. Third was to see what we were having and to do the make sure everything is going good. Like I said in the last post they has found a shadow on his little left heart ventricle, so we should go and get another ultrasound. Fourth one was to make sure everything with the shadow was okay. Everything seems to be good the heart is beating strong and GREAT,the shadow is disappearing, there is no leg shorter then the other, or any other deformities. Even the main Head ultrasound guy came in to make sure everything was good. The only sad thing about this ultra sound is our little soccer player was playing shy and didn't want to show us his face. My tummy hurts from David and ultrasound tech poking it, but he didn't want to move, and when he finally did he just moved his hands in front of his face, she tried for 20 mins but of course no luck. Well as soon as we drove away from the ultrasound place our little soccer player did a somersault in my tummy, David wanted to turn around and go back!

Here is our little soccer player's spine, and knee! He is weighing in at 1lbs 10oz. This was the best picture we got of our little soccer player today!!



I don't remember if I told this story but I love it. So Sunday after church we come home and are getting out of our Sunday clothes.
David walks to the closet and sigh.
Dian - "what is wrong?"
David - "I just want him to come out to play, so I have a friend to play with!"
Dian - "I'm sorry, he is not coming out for a while."
David - "I know but I just want him too."
There was more to the conversation but that is it in a nut shell.

Here I am at 25 weeks, I'm getting pretty big if you ask me!!!



Anyways that is all for this week, we leave for a little vacation tomorrow until Sunday, so see you all next week!!!

Life is Grand!

Last week we had our 24 week appointment at the doctors. Our little soccer player is playing a little higher on the field then he should be, but that is okay! His heart beat is strong and i'm measuring 25 weeks! I feel huge but everyone always tells me how cute and I and wishes she has as many maternity clothes as I have!! The funny thing is when every they say that I am wearing my normal clothes I would wear before my little soccer player started playing the field! They just happened to be empire style shirts and baby doll dresses. And I also have been very blesses to receive my sisters hand-me-downs :D Enough of everyone making me feel good, but please don't stop it really does make my day, even my weeks! At our appointment last week, our doctor told us we needed to go have another ultrasound next week (so this week Wednesday), they found a shadow on the left heart ventricle of our little soccer player, he said it could be nothing, but better safe then sorry! I am really not worried, I'm more excited because we get to see our little soccer player again!! I also know that the Lord has a plan and loves us especially my little soccer player! So all we can do is pray and leave it in the Lords hands!

Life really is great right now, I personally couldn't be happier! I have a great family, friends, and ward family that loves me so much! This week we also get to fly to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for a leadership conference, David is very excited about it! I'm excited because I have never been there, so another states to mark off the map :D I really do love my life right now and really don't think I could be happier, but every time I say that I am proven wrong! But I am really okay with that!

And if you are not happy with your life, you are the one that has control over your thoughts to change that, no one else does! You can find good in any situation!

We Love you all, and we will see you all back here later this week with our little soccer players update.



Sorry I don't have any photos on my computer and I don't have my camera right now to take pictures!

Interesting fact!!

Every week I go to babycenter.com can look at the week by week on my baby. At week 24 I thought it was pretty sweet that my little soccer player is in a "soccer ball" my uterus is the size of a soccer ball right now, pretty sweet if you ask me!!!

Anyways I had my first encounter with a belly rub, lol!!! I had a church activity last night and everyone kept saying they loved my cute little baby bump. It doesn't feel little but it felt good for people to say I look cute :D well my baby bump looked cute.

Another point that is some what sad for me and the things I do for love, lol!! I can't wear my heals anymore :( my feet have swollen to the point I can't wear any of my heals, this is a very sad day for me since, I love my shoes, but I can say I love my little soccer player a little more, so I can put my heals up on the shelve for a couple of months. I also can't wear my rings, so they have been put away in a safe place until I can wear them again.

I have also started making/altering clothes for myself, since I can't do up my pants or they are very uncomforted to wear. I am also, so thankful for my sister who has given me all her old maternity clothes, baby clothes, and baby stuff so that will save us a heck of a lot of money. This is one good point in being the youngest I get all the hand-me-downs :D I hated them when I was little but am loving them now, since money doesn't grow on tree I have learned!!!

I know I say this every post since I found out we were expecting, but I LOVE this little soccer player and his daddy. His Daddy is going to be a great daddy, I can tell by the way he interacts with my nieces and nephews and how much he loves them and they love him. I am so grateful for this wonderful husband that I was led to, he is my best friend and I am so happy he is mine for eternity. Life is GREAT and I love you all, I couldn't be more happy with life right now!!!
