11 Weeks

I'm officially 11 weeks today! It seems like forever that I have been pregnant and the same time it feels like I just barely am (which is the truth)! I'm getting very excited to get out of my first trimester! I feel like my life revolves around being pregnant right now! I'm either hungry, puking, nauseous, tired, overly happy, overly cranky, needing to pee, and I just am always just crazy feeling. It is just the start of my new life with baby Sanchez.

Lake Powell

Jaron and I went on a last minute Lake Powell trip with our friends to end the summer! It was a ton of fun! It started with driving down in the middle of the night. That was my least favorite part of the trip. But the rest of the time it was very relaxing time! It was also very hot!! After the first day I realized I needed to stay out of the sun more than usual. Weird how pregnancy makes the heat affect you different ha ha. I wasn't the only pregnant girl there though my friend Sydni is 30 weeks. On Saturday we took a great boat ride and saw a lot of gorgeous canyons. The boys had a lot of fun being boys like cliff jumping, air chairing, wake boarding, fishing, trying to push boulders down the mountain, and hiking. In all it was nice to get away, enjoy the sun, and we got a great tan!

My Prego Craving Cake

My pregnant cravings have been getting stronger lately. Like every pregnant person I'm very picky on what I can eat right now, but the cravings are just crazy! Some days it's I see something on TV or hear it and I'm like yeah that sounds great but a true craving just pops in my head and that's all I want! Jaron was trying to get me breakfast one day and I just kept saying I wanted cake from Costco with cream cheese frosting and cheesecake filling. Well that craving didn't go away so a few days later we go to Costco and they didn't have that type of cake already made up so we ordered it. They only make a 48 serving size cake as well. But what I want Jaron usually will get it for me! So we ordered a cute princess cake and wrote on it. I'm sure the Costco people were laughing the whole time they made it because I would. Who in there right mind orders that large of a cake just because it sounds good... Oh wait a crazy pregnant girl! The cake was AWESOME!! I loved it! We took it to Lake Powell with us so I got some help eating it luckily or I would be quite obese afterward!

Baby Sanchez's first picture!!

I went to the Dr. the other day and I was able to see my baby for the first time!! I was so excited!! I found out I am officially 8 1/2 weeks and due March 16 2010! It was the coolest thing to be able to see my little Sanchez! I could see it's little heart beat but it was still to soon to hear it. It is about the size of a gummy bear which is a perfect way to compare it because of the tiny arms and legs. Now just waiting to find out what Sanchez is so it can get it's real name!

The HOT HoT Zoo!!

I took Alyssa and Addison to the zoo a few days ago. I've been bugging Jaron to take me for a while and it never happened so we went with out him while he was gone working. We had a lot of fun but it was REALLY hot!! Lets just say I don't think I'll be going in 97 degree weather again. We were able to see a baby white tiger! It was so cute! Enjoy all the pictures!

Enjoying Life

Not to much has happened the last few weeks. Jaron had 5 weeks off with a small 2 day trip in the middle of that. It was so nice to actually have him home and live a normal life of seeing your husband everyday. I haven't had a month like that for almost 3 years! We did celebrate our 4 year Anniversary and we forgot it. I thought it was the day after and he just forgot until 3:30 that afternoon. It was sad we haven't been married long enough to forget and the last 2 years Jaron has always been out of town for it. Jaron made me a awesome dinner and that was about all we did to celebrate it. Super exciting! Baby Sanchez is doing great so far! I go in for my first ultrasound next week and then I will officailly know how far along I am. I can not wait! I'm really enjoying being pregnant! To know a little baby is growing inside me is so exciting! I just can not wait until Sanchez gets here!! It's hard finding out so early because now I will be pregnant forever! My wonderful morning sickness kicked in 2 weeks ago. I don't know who calls it morning sickness because I get worse the farther the day goes. My taste buds are always changing. The only real craving I've had was for a smoothie one day. Jaron kept asking me what I wanted to eat and I got so mad because I told him over 10 time I just wanted a smoothie and I guess that was not considered food. I am also living on crackers and Zofran everyday to try not to puke, and I just started taking B12 too. For the most part it works but every once in while it doesn't. I was lucky enough to get my stitches taken out last week and I my eye looked like it was on the mend. Until a few trips to the porcelain god and I was even luckier to get my whole suture redone in my eye on Monday. Jaron has been gone this week so I went and stayed with my mom and dad to have them baby me afterwards. Even with a few minor bumps in the road I am still so happy I am pregnant and would never take it back! I have waited long enough to have my baby Sanchez and I am just to excited!!

Harley is so overprotective of me it is funny. He will get so upset if Jaron hugs me and we pretend fight and he goes after Jaron and play bites him. Nobody messes with his mom! His favorite thing to do is snuggle with me and he thinks he's a baby and loves being held like one. I am so glad to have my furry kids to take care of me while Jaron is gone!

Here are some great pictures of us up the canyon with Jaron's family. One day we went up for hot dogs and marshmallows. The other time we went up with Jaron's family and my nieces and nephew and played in the water.

Jaron and I went to see The Fray last week with our friends Sydni and Jarrett. It was a good chill concert. They are great live.

My Surgery, and Yep I'm Pregnant!!!!!!

So I was lucky enough to have eye surgery 2 weeks ago! I went in for my regular check up and take a few test for glaucoma 2 1/2 weeks ago. Well lets say I totally bombed all my tests, and my eye pressure was extremely higher than it ever had been. For you that know a little about glaucoma yes I really do have I have a rare case because usually you have to be around 70 to get it, and my eye pressure had reached 39. I had lost quite a bit a vision fast so my Dr. was stressed and schedule my surgery 3 days later for my left eye. So I go in for my surgery on July 2, and I had told my Dr. there is a chance I may be pregnant. Well they do the test and my Dr. comes in without talking to my nurse (because we didn't want anyone to know for quite a while if I was pregnant.) And he announces to everyone in the room YES I am Pregnant! My mom, mother in law, and Jaron were in the room. They were just shocked, and I turn to them and say "Surprise!" So at the time of surgery I was 2-3 weeks. I was told all the risks and of course and it makes me super scared for my new little baby! But I had to have my surgery. It consisted of them cutting little slit in my eyeball to release pressure. The surgery went well. But sense the surgery I have had quite a few complications because of being pregnant. I have gotten heartburn and made me vomit. That made my eye go crazy from the force of vomiting. Then a few days later I got a horrible migraine sense I can't take my migraine pills anymore. My migraine was the worst I had have sense I was in my accident and fractured my skull. I couldn't get rid of it and I was puking and dry heaving for 3 hours in the middle of the night so I finally decided to go to the ER to get rid of it. Jaron was gone and so was everyone I know that lives by me so my wonderful aunt that lives 20 min. away took me because I haven't been able to see well enough to drive. I was able to get it under control and had went to my moms so she could baby me. I woke a few hours later with my eye pounding and I couldn't see anything out of it. Like I'm talking someone waving hands in front of my face. So I had to hurry into the eye Dr. and my pressure that was 4 the day before went to 44, which for you that don't know that is very bad! The vomiting for 3 hours the night before did me in. So I had a stitch taken out and they that to press on my eye to get it to drain. It was not a fun process! My eye ball was huge but once it was drained it went down and all the pain in it went away. Then today I was lucky enough to get another stitch in my eye and 2 shots while being awake. That was horrible! Very painful I don't suggest ever trying it if I were you. I basically live at my eye Dr.'s right now going almost everyday. It is getting very old and yes I am complaining but I am very sick of it!

But now for the super exciting stuff! I am going to be a Mommy! I can not wait! We were going to wait to tell everyone until my second trimester was over or at least when we got the ultra sound. But because of what I just have told you all it was quite hard to not tell some people. To tell our parents we told them with Oscar awards that said #1 Grandparent. My dad was a little stressed when we told him but my step mom was ecstatic! My mom didn't get the fun experience with her Oscar but she is still excited! And we wouldn't let my mother in law tell my father in law so he was super excited when we told him. We decided sense the parents knew we would tell a few friends and siblings and grandparents. I was hoping to not post it all over the Internet for a while because I still am 1 second pregnant at 4-5 weeks. But Jaron is just way to excited and had to announce it on his facebook page yesterday. So now everyone knows the story! I am very excited and Jaron just can't stop running around saying "I'm going to be a Daddy!" So wish me luck on not getting sick in the next week or so!

The past few weeks

So much has happened and I'm very behind on blogging. It always seems like when things go on in your life who has time to blog about it! But I'll catch you all up on a few things that have been going on in the our lives.

First off Michael Jackson died just in case you have been away from the world and did not watch the TV because it is on every two seconds. But yes, I was very sad about this!! Most people do not know but I have always been a huge fan of Michael Jackson! When I was 4 I wanted to marry him that changed when I finally understood that he was older than my mom. I also was in love with his movie Moon walker! I would through temper tantrums if my mom would not rent it for me at the movie rental store so she finally bought it for me. I know he is crazy and is very strange, but you can not deny he is very talented! I have always been inspired by him as a dancer!

We went to the Lehi Rodeo at the first of the month and it was a ton of fun!

For the 4th of July we went golfing with our friends. It was a ton of fun! (Jaron has turned into a huge golfing fanatic after I got him a pass for Easter. So we have gone quite a bit while he has had some time off work.) We also enjoyed a BBQ with our friends and watched some fire workers at Thanksgiving Point.
