Still at 50/50

So yeah it didn't want to let us see anything. But everything looked good. They want to see me back in 4 weeks for a another ultrasound. Couldn't see the kidneys very well and the cord was up around the head so they want to check on that again. The doc is not worried about the cord or anything so as of right now all is well and still don't know what it is.

Change in Plans

Yesterday we found out that Gabe now has to leave the day we are to go in for the big ultrasound. This didn't make me happy at all! So this morning we called to see about getting our appointment moved to the day before or something, but didn't get anyone. Thankfully just before Gabe left for work this afternoon (side note: Gabe is now working nights, good and bad at times), they called us back and the only thing they had open is tomorrow. This will put me at 18 weeks and 6 days, so hope they can see all they need to and that we can find out the sex. I really don't want to have to go back in, plus I really want Gabe to be there when we find out the sex of the baby. Besides that little change everything seems to be doing fine. I have started to feel the baby move. Not very much but thats ok with me. It just makes me happy to actually feel something in the some moments I do. I do feel bad for Gabe though because every time I say that it is kicking me he puts his hand on me and wants so much to feel something. I just have to tell him he will soon. Oh and monday we got the crib and changing table. That makes me happy and feel better that we have something for the baby finally. Well thats about it for now, just everyone hope they can see everything tomorrow.

Not much, Just life

This past week Gabe started "work" softball again for the fall. He had a game on tues and weds, I went to the weds one. They are doing pretty good, better then in the spring but that because they are having practice this time. It is fun to go, plus it gives me something to do out of the house and I get to talk with some of the other wives.
So friday Gabe had to work and then he had watch after that until midnight. I hate days like that when the only time I see him is in the morning getting him out the door and just before we go to bed. Thankfully we had a good day yesterday. Gabe did the yard and washed the car and I cleaned the house (some deep cleaning that really needed done). So not the most fun day but it was nice because we were able to be together. Oh and last night we watched Leatherheads, it was so funny. Or at least I thought it was.
Baby news: we will hopefully know what we are having on Oct 15th. I can't wait!!! So hope it lets us see and that Gabe will be here for it. (He leaves the next day for two weeks on the ship) If you want you can tell me what you think I am going to have. But besides that the baby seems to be doing fine. Still haven't felt anything, but love chips right now. Well hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

I can finally tell people!!!

I got a new calling a few weeks ago, Laurel advisor. So I am out of Primary, which is nice but sometimes I wish I was still there. But I will have fun with the girls and its one calling I haven't had before. So friday was my 23 rd birthday. Gabe brought me home flowers thurs night so that I could have them all day. And since we had already gotten us our gift for each other, we brought a wii, we didn't really do much. So we have been enjoying that and then we had some friends over that night for Cheesecake.

BUT.... want I have be wanting to tell everyone for weeks now is that I am Pregnant!!!!!!! I am 16 weeks and 3 days. I know I didn't have to wait this long but last year we had a miscarriage and so I wanted to make sure things were going to be ok this time. Plus today was only our 2nd appointment, but all was great and we even got to see the baby again. It didn't want to stay still so I don't have a good picture. But we will be going in about 2-3 weeks for the big ultrasound and I will let you all know what it is then and put a picture up.

Back from Oregon

Oregon State Fair~my families horses

My Husband and Dad

So we are finally back and everything here at the house is still good. Our trip was good and it was wonderful to be back where there are mountains and to see family. So the first part we were at the Oregon State Fair, where my family has been showing Draft Horses for years. And I have gone just about ever year of my life to the fair. And this year I was finally able to take my husband. He has never really been around horses and things so it was all new for him. But he did great and started to really know what to do by the end. But he also found out that there is a lot of work that comes with it. All in all I think he enjoyed fair. I know I did, plus I was able to get the best ice cream in the world! At the fair there is a place that makes their own and it is the best and I have been wanting it for months. Anyway, fair was great and it was wonderful to see my family. After fair we went the hour drive to stay at Gabes parents home for the rest of our trip. There we had a BBQ, went to the mountains to play around on the 4 wheelers, and just had a good time being with family. The one thing Gabe didn't get to do that he really wanted was to float the river or something in the river. But unfortunately it was just not warm enough the whole time we were there. Besides not getting to have any fun in the river we had a great time with the family. And now we are home and it is good to be. We miss our families though. I wish we didn't have to live so far away.

Vernon Joseph Harper

Last night my sister in-law (Millie) and my brother (Mike) had their baby. It was a boy 8lbs 3 oz, and I don't know how long they didn't say. His name is Vernon Joseph, named after our grandpa and great grandpa on our moms side of the family. All is well with mom and baby. I will put a picture up when I can get one from my parents. On other news. Gabe had a good birthday and is now 27. He thinks hes old, I am not to remind him how old he really is. I don't think he is old at all. And last of what is going on in our life right now, TS Fay is on its way to us and we are trying to get to Orlando so that we can fly out to Oregon for our trip. Hopefully we can make it down today. If all goes well we will be gone for two weeks. And hopefully our home will be safe while we are out of town. It should be fine, the only thing I am thinking will happen is losing all the food because of power going out. Well I hope all is well with you guys and I hope to not be on here for about two weeks.

Not much going on...

Gabe has been home now for almost a week and is now back to work. So I thought I should write a little. Well I am over my cold, it took me over a week to get over it, but it was gone by the time Gabe got home. And somehow he still ended up with it, he even stayed home from work yesterday which he never does. I guess a lot of people out on the ship were getting it too. Well besides the cold not much going on here right now. There are a few things to look forward to thankfully. Gabes birthday is on the 16th!! First birthday we will actually get to be together for. Gabes always been on the ship during our birthdays. And we leave for Oregon on the 21st, for two weeks, can't wait!!!
