being pregnant
November 2, 2015 -
So today is the day we call in and see if the hospital is ready to take us and induce....we get to meet this little miracle so soon!
How do you put into words the amazingness of being pregnant?! Of having a little life growing within you and feeling that life become more and more active. Here is my attempt...
Well, we were trying to have a baby but ran into some problems so we were working on sorting those out and were surprised by the fact that we did not need the specialist after all.
When I first saw the pregnancy test say positive I wasn't sure to believe it or not because I wanted it so bad and had been trying and well maybe it was a false positive and the drugs or whatever were messing the results up. But I couldn't help hoping in my heart that it was true.
I giggled and told Earl to look and he had the same cautious reaction I did. I took another test that evening and got the same result, so I texted my sister both tests saying I need to go to the doctor and she called me squealing. We chatted about things and she said you ARE prego. Welp a couple of blood tests and an ultrasound later we were on our way to parenthood. Wow, seeing that heartbeat for the first time and hearing that baby was planted well and doing good made me cry...we will be parents!
Then comes the stages of being pregnant. The tiredness and nauseous feeling of the first trimester. That and the fact that you aren't showing yet and your body is going through so many aches and changes it is nuts. Did I mention how tired you feel and how just getting up and getting through a daily routine like work is harder to do some days? You really come home and just want/need to nap. Food is something you eat what you can when you can between feeling nauseous and tired. My favs became a McDonald's cheeseburger without pickles or a Burger King crispy chicken jr. sandwich. Yogurt and bread were always a good go to food also. I found eating little bites more often helped my body not feel so sick. I thankfully never really threw up, except when brushing my teeth. I just had a nauseous knot in my tummy for a few months that I learned how to work around.
There is so much dreaming and planning and hoping and wondering and guessing and a bit of worrying too. The worry that you need to get past the first trimester so that you are past the miscarriage stage. You constantly pray that your body will be healthy and do what it needs to for the baby to be well nourished and be able to grow. You want to tell the world but also want to be cautious and only tell them when it is "safer" to do so. I had to learn to add protein to my diet cuz baby was taking it from me. I was getting thinner hair and was bummed cuz that is supposed to happen after birth before you are supposed to get luscious think hair. Oh well, once I added protein and used better shampoo and conditioner it helped.
You don't even realize how attached and in love you are with this kid from the beginning until you get a scare that the baby might not make it. I spotted one day and totally bawled my head off thinking but I am just getting used to the idea of having a baby I can't lose it now. Thankfully an ultrasound later told me all was well. What a sigh of relief that was and fun to have another picture of our baby. Then comes telling people - we announced it 3x in 3 fun ways.....to family, to friends, to work. Sharing the joy of this journey to parenthood with those around us as we go. It is weird how much you can love someone you can't feel and haven't met but you know is there and depending on you for everything.
Second trimester is pretty great. You get some of your energy back, you are super prego yet so you can still do many things and you just feel good. You have many appointments to make and things to get done and classes to take to get ready but it is all in excitement of what will be.
I remember where we were when I got the call that told us whether you were our son - which I thought, or our daughter - which daddy thought. We were in Reno visiting Jeanne and they told us you did not have DS and you were our baby girl! I kind of panicked as we had a boy name picked out but nothing for a girl yet. Jeanne was super excited, then I called your Aunt Bunny and told her. When I saw Jenny and told her she cried she was so happy. So then Bunny and Tiffany were tossing girl name ideas my way for the rest of our vacation. Ever since you were the size of Macaroni I called you baby Mac. It took quite awhile for my baby bump to show. I took pictures almost every week anyway but it wasn't until 20+ weeks that there was a significant bump. The first time you kicked outwardly and daddy felt you was so beautiful.
When you start to feel the kicks, that is an amazing moment between mom and baby. It is surreal but feels so much more real to you when you feel the baby move and kick and turn....wow. You feel empowered that the miracle your body can carry out is occurring and you get to participate in nourishing and developing a new life inside of you. Watching your little belly bump get bigger and fuller each week as time goes by and then seeing the bump move around as the baby makes space for herself....simply amazing. I like the way one of my friends put it, "I get to have you to myself for 9 whole months, you are just mine." This was my thought too, I am not ready to share you yet. Right now you are just mine, it is you and me. But now that I feel like I have prepared a space for you as best I can in this world, I can't wait to meet you and show you off to everyone who is excited to greet you and show their love.
I love to hold my belly and feel you move beneath my hands. You make me gasp at times when you hit nerves, you make me giggle other times when your kicks are so crazy. In all, you have been pretty chill and easy to carry. I have pretty much loved being pregnant and have had a hard time being ready to have you out of my belly and in this world....but now I would love to meet you and hold you and snuggle you in my arms and enjoy watching you learn and grow and become an amazing little lady. Oh my princess, see you soon!

my husband :)
October 09, 2015 -
Just pondering how amazing my man is. He truly is my knight, my love, my companion, my champion... I never knew I could love someone so deeply and openly. He makes me laugh and he holds me when I cry. He helps me see outside of the boxes that I get stuck in and shows me new ways to look at problems or even just the world and people. And the way he shows me how treasured I am shows me so much more of how God sees and adores me. He thinks of the little things and it really blesses me. He shares my joy and he brings me more daily. He champions me through my deepest struggles and celebrates my victories with me. He motivates me to be a better me and to give my all to see him succeed in his dreams and desires. He sees my inner beauty and my shine and he gives all he is to make me a better me and help me achieve my dreams.
He made me a wife and now soon a mother too - two of my deepest desires since I was four years old. I had pretty much given up on them because I couldn't make them occur on my own but God knew the perfect person and the perfect time and I am so glad.
I love being on the adventure of life with this man. He makes it so much more balanced and enjoyable. Stealing dance moves in the kitchen, team working to get the dishes done, laughing and snuggling in bed, being free to just be me and know it is safe and I am loved. Watching him pour all he has on making our yard and our home functional and beautiful. My husband, my blessing, my forever friend....mine. :)
I can't wait to see you with our daughter; you will be an amazing daddy. I love how you talk to her now in my belly and you have been encouraging her to come out and play. I love sharing the blessing of being a parent with you. A part of me will probably be a bit jealous of having to share you but I know that there is so much of you to give and to not share would be a waste. Plus our daughter will need you to teach her all that fun science mathy type stuff. And she will need you to balance her life too. She will need you to show her the out of the box thinking and the way life is full of amazing wonders. She will need you to pray with her and kiss her owies and comfort her and chase down the boys that break her heart. Her daddy - her hero!
Sigh - we are lucky gals.
Love you Earlpants
with everything I am and have and will be - all my heart forever

a fun note from the kiddo
Sept. 9, 2015 -
To Aunty Bunny,
I have to let Mommy get to work now, but I just had to say hi!
To Aunty Bunny,
I love you and miss you and can't wait to see you on Thursday
night!
My mommy told me she is going on a double date with you
and Uncle Jeff!
I am so excited!
Mommy says she just has to organize and decorate my room;
I catch her sitting in the recliner looking at my closet dreaming about ME!!!
Mommy called Grandpa last night to see what was going on
with him and I kicked her pretty hard when they were chatting to say hello to
him, cuz I know he is going to spoil me and he is a funny man. Did you hear that he hurt his elbow and is
nursing it back to health - silly grandpa; doesn't he know he needs to survive
to see me?! Geesh - I can't lose ALL my
grandparents! :P
I can't wait to meet Grandma Pat and Chuck and the rest
of our crazy "adopted in" family.
I hear there will be kids for me to play with at your place for Xmas,
that will be fun.
I also hear that Uncle Mike will be at Thanksgiving with
all of us. Do I call my cousins aunty
and uncle too or just by their names - I guess when I can talk that will be
known. I want to grow up and be like my
cousin Courtney, she is so pretty and funny and sweet - and a babymuffin of
course!
I have to let Mommy get to work now, but I just had to say hi!
Hope your day goes well.
I love you!
Baby Mac :)
(How fun is it that my name is Mommy?!!!)

where does the time go?!
July 30, 2015 -
Oh man, so much to catch up on again. I can't believe it is almost August already.
We have been so busy with bike rides, golf, seeing people, getting the house and yard ready, etc.
I was just reading my previous posts and remembering how amazing this journey is and has been so far, yup there may have been a few tears involved.
Your daddy did his 22nd STP bike ride, it is over 200 miles in one day! He started at the start line with a ton of other cyclists and then I met him at the finish line and actually got his picture this year! Sometimes I miss him or they all come in so fast you can't tell until they are passing you and it is too late to catch them. One year I had a hard time finding parking and missed him finishing, I felt so bad about it. The first year I went to support him is a pretty funny story - I will make a new post for that one. I am so proud of your Daddy, he works so hard and does such a great job. He looks forward to this big ride every year. Maybe one day when you are big enough you can join him. :) Mommy will support all the way but is not much for riding bikes; the longest I did was 50 miles and I cried a lot.

Aug 27, 2015 -
Um, yea so now it is almost September! Our schedule is getting busy and crazy. The nursery is coming together, it is all painted now I just have to figure out your furniture and how to decorate it. I get so excited preparing for you, my little miracle. The other night I laid in your room and stared at the closet paint job and felt you kick around in me and giggled and just dreamed.
We had our first birthing class, it was a lot of information but it was good to get prepared.
One night laying in bed I SAW you kick me and grabbed daddy and he watched and felt you moving and kicking, it was so amazing! I love those little reminders that you are growing and healthy and (mostly) happy all snuggled in there. The doctor measured my belly the other day and I was surprised at all the space that you get. I am sure when you get bigger it won't feel like a lot of space though. ;)
This month we attended a friend's wedding and both got teary eyed when the Daddy and daughter danced, thinking of how that will one day be you and your daddy.
We also had friends from Reno come up and visit us and we took them around the city and played for a weekend, it was fun. You actually kicked Jeanne a couple of times but refused to do it for the lil' guy Charlie. Daddy did a bike ride at Crater Lake and visited his auntie there for a weekend.
Guess that is pretty much it.
Love ya kiddo!

More baby kicks!
July 13, 2015
Last night I was laying in bed and I felt you kick OUTSIDE my belly! It was pretty amazing.
I laid my hand on my tummy and I could feel little thumps, kind of like a roller coaster bump, bump.
It was so much fun. I grabbed your Daddy's hand and placed it where you were moving and he felt you too! They were pretty mild still but so amazing! You are a little acrobat in there...I hear that you should enjoy the space you have while you can cuz as you grow you get less and less to play in.
You make me giggle every time I feel you move, and when you kick I get the hugest grin on my face. It is just so amazing to feel you, my little miracle, moving around and growing and getting stronger and healthier in me.
Daddy plays classical music for you at night and in the car sometimes, I wonder if you will enjoy it when you are here with us in the world. I love worship music and should play it more, I don't turn the radio on very often...sometimes I just sing, I love to sing. I used to play guitar, not very well just enough to get by, but it has been a long time so I am super rusty and my fingers hurt when I try.
I really enjoy eating McDonald's cheeseburgers right now and am not so fond of veggies at this time. I try and eat well and get you protein and good stuff you need....sorry if you grow up not liking or wanting veggies, I usually like them but since having you my tastes have changed quite a bit.
But I still LOVE Reese's Peanut butter cups! Yum :)
Love ya Princess Mac <3

Baby heartbeat!
June 30, 2015
Today at my appointment, the Doctor was able to get your heartbeat and Daddy was there to hear it!
Hearing your heartbeat just made my heart soar. Doc says you are healthy and growing and doing well. I am so happy. You are such a little miracle and our lives will never be the same! So excited to meet you. Right now we are getting ready for you.
I took a nap, because you needed rest. While I did that Daddy surprised us and moved the bed and bookshelves out of your soon to be nursery and set up our soon to be guest room in the basement. I am so excited to organize and paint and put your place together so that you have your little home.
My arms already ache to hold and snuggle you.
Love you Princess.

you are kicking!!!
June 27 2015
I have been feeling little pinches and spasms and kinda wondering if it is you or my body.
Well this afternoon I definitely felt you kick me a few times! It is the coolest thing ever.
What cool timing since yesterday we went to the clinic and got to see you. You were shy and had your legs crossed most of the time. The technician moved you enough during the hour that she was able to show us that you were indeed our little GIRL! I can't wait to meet you.

June already!
June 8, 2015
Hey my lil' Mac,
Lets see, lots to catch you up on here...
Your Daddy loves to ride his bike and we have been many places already for him to do 50 -100 miles.
Sometimes I wonder if you will be riding with him one day; I tried one year and I did a few rides, my biggest was a 50 with hills and I was crying and he was pushing me at the end. Mommy likes tennis.
Anyway, we just returned from a trip to Wenatchee and Leavenworth. While Daddy pedaled around Wenatchee, Mommy got to shop and play in Leavenworth. But I met him at the finish line! It was super hot, almost 100 degrees. It was a fun weekend, we enjoyed bratwurst and beer for Daddy root beer for Mommy (and you).
Monday, June 1- was a tough day for Mommy. I had training all day and then went to my Obgyn appointment. Training made my mind like jelly. My OB appointment made me very emotional.
My doctor is concerned that my blood pressure is too high and my pulse is too fast and my heart has been overworking. So he is sending me to UW next week for testing. I cried afterwards, thankfully Aunty Bunny was in town and came and calmed me down and talked me through my emotions.
I took the next day off work so that you and I could sleep and rest and just chill for the day; we needed it. I can't wait to feel you.

Today your daddy and I went to a really wonderful doctor. He tried to hear your heartbeat but couldn't so he took us in and did an ultrasound so we got to see you again and you were kinda squirming around. He then took a picture of your heartbeat - so we saw it but didn't get to hear it.
Mommy really likes this new doctor. I can't wait to meet you! Right now, I still can't feel you but I know you are all snug in there enjoying the comforts of lots of space to play in.

Today we got a phone call with the results of the blood DNA test.
You are healthy and we also found out that you are (90% most likely) a.........
GIRL!
I was super surprised, this whole time I was thinking you were a boy. Sorry about that kiddo.
My sister and Tiffany have been tossing some girl name ideas my way because I don't have any ideas yet. I can't wait to know what we should name you and get to know my little baby girl. My princess.
Will you be a girly girl and wear make up and dress up or will you be a tomboy and climb trees and race other kids? Will you ride a bike with Daddy? Will you learn to draw or sew or cook?
This is so much fun! There are so many adventures awaiting you to find them.

Your Aunty Bunny was able to come to my ultrasound this morning. We watched you squirm around and wave. You kind of look like an alien in this picture. But you are super adorable.
Later, I got to hear your heartbeat and it was so beautiful. It made me cry.
I am so in awe of the gift that you already are even though I can't feel you yet.
You are so beautiful my little one.

My sweet little gummy bear
4/6/15
My sweet lil one. You had me scared on Friday afternoon, I bled a little and totally freaked out because I thought it meant I would lose you. Apparently it is common and not to be feared. My nurse was wonderful and set up to where we could check up on you today and make sure all is well. You are adorable and you look more and more like a child. You have already grown so much in just a couple of weeks. Your head is big, probably to fit that giant brain you will inherit from your Daddy. The Dr. called you a gummy bear, because you kind of look like one right now. I still favor calling you Mac, it just is so cute. I still can't really feel you yet, but knowing you are there and growing just gives me a permanent smile on my face. Oh wow, I wonder if you will inherit my dimple. I wonder if you will be creative or logical or a mix of both. I wonder if you will be a lefty or a righty. I wonder what you will like to explore around you. Will you want to stay home and build a stable life or will you desire to adventure into far away places? I can't stop looking at you, you are so beautiful. You are upside down right now, I thought you weren't supposed to be until later on when you are getting ready to come out but you just like doing headstands I guess. Wow, my arms can't wait to be wrapped around you...snuggling and cuddling and feeding and singing to you. Sigh. I am such a happy Momma.
I pray for you every day and am so amazed at the blessing God is bestowing on your Daddy and I.
Love you lil bug.

Love you lil bug.

Moving in me
3-24-15
Today I kind of felt you, I think. Right before I got out of bed I felt a little gas like jerk/flutter in my lower left belly area. Right when I felt it I wondered if maybe it was you. My sister told me that most likely it was! You are too cute. I am so in love with you and I haven't even met you yet.

Hey baby,
We started telling people about you. It is so exciting and I just can't believe it!
We plan to tell the rest of the family on Easter and then work the Tuesday after that and then post it for the world AKA Facebook. :)
It is so hard to keep this in, I just want to shout it out everywhere I go - I am pregnant!
I am going to be a mommy! Wow, this May will kinda be my first Mother's Day. How amazing.
You are such a little miracle. An amazing surprise! My heart is so full.
Love you so much already. I can't wait to feel you move and see you grow inside me.
