2nd trimester update

So 13 weeks have went by so fast. The only thing that has been hard is we found out so early. We found out we were expecting back in March. Seems so long ago. The Doctor's went well yesterday, we got to hear the heart beat again. Its so fun to listen. Gary loves it now that he knows what to listen to. I am hoping to get some energy back that has been the worst part of the first trimester.

13 weeks
6 Doctors appointments so far
4 Ultra sounds
5 blood tests
10 trips to the store for Red apples ( i am addicted)
5 lbs lost ( Doctors says eat more carbs you'll gain it)

Baby News

So finally I am updating this thing. I am so bad at it. Gary and I are expecting. We are due December 15, 2009. We are so excited and shocked still. Here is a picture of the Last ultra sound. Its funny to hear Gary's idea of what it looks like. He swears its a boy. I really don't care either way I just want a healthy baby. We are both way excited for this new journey.

Our new place as of this week

So this week has been totally crazy. We just moved 5 blocks South and 5 bocks West from where we were living . We are in the same ward thank heavens. We moved from a one Bedroom, one Bath 750 square foot apartment, to a two Bedroom one and half Bath, 1190 square foot 2 level apartment. The move was crazy but okay we did it in 2 days so we wouldn't be so stressed. Here are some pictures, not quite all set up yet. The extra bedroom of course is for the Baby so need to collect clutter. Yes I take after my dear sister I hate it(NOT!), and its rubbed off on Gary now. Thanks Tammi.

Our Living room and the stairs

Out our back door, Our living room,

Part of our Kitchen the other half still has few boxes.

I will do upstairs when it isn't so filled with boxes still

April General Conference

So this month has been crazy, and fun. The first weekend of April we were able to go to General Conference. It was so much fun. We were their When President Thomas S Monson announced the newest member of the Quorum of the Twelve Elder Neal A Anderson.

The Protesters started early. We were able to take pics on the way in, but the way out was another story. Thank you to the Salt lake city police Department they made sure everyone was safe. I have never seen so many angry misinformed people in my life.

So The Next weekend was so cool also. Elder Anderson Spoke at our Stake Conference.

And Yesterday was very Proud Moment for Me Husband Gary Got his Associates of Science Degree. Only 2 More Honey or 3. Its your Choice. Here are some pictures from yesterday. Sorry if they are dark my camera was being funny. Sorry Not a very flattering picture of me and Gary but hardly anyone takes good ones.

Update on my life so far this year...

So these past couple have months have been crazy. I am still not working but it has turned out to be a blessing for me and my health. The last part of Feb. early March I had a not so fun stay in the Hospital at the University of Utah. I spent a bit of time in ICU and then just the normal area. Total 6 1/2 days. It was supposed to be just over night. Well I am grateful for it though I am finally getting my arm taken care of. I head off for my next surgery April 6Th then just 5 left Doctor's say. The longest process was the Disability applications. I love Gary so much he spent over 8 hours online submitting everything. I love him so much now that's dedication. I am so lucky.

One of my Favorite things this past few months was going to the open house of the Draper Utah Temple with my whole Brundage side of the Family. Thanks to Gary's Family. I am so lucky to have them.
