Baby on the Way!

So we found out in march that we were going to have our first cild, That's always exciting! So for the most part the pregnancy has been great. I was only sick for a week and there are only a few foods he will not let me eat....Tomatoes, tomato soup, tomato sause, spaghetti o's...but that's ok some day I will have Pizza and pasta and enjoy it again :) In August we found out that we are having a little BOY! we have been very blessed because we wanted a boy first. I can't complain too much about the pregnancy because I know some mothers out there have it bad, However this last month has been a struggle. My doctor retired and I have to see someone new and then I found out from him that I have Cholestasis:
which is Pregnancy hormones that affect gallbladder function, resulting in slowing or stopping the flow of bile. The gallbladder holds bile that is produced in the liver, which is necessary in the breakdown of fats in digestion. When the bile flow is stopped or slowed down, this causes a build up of bile acids in the liver which can spill into the bloodstream. So I have to be on medication and be watched very closely to make sure that the baby is fine and that it doesn't turn into Toxemia. So that has been fun because it makes you itch so bad!!

I just cannot wait till the little guy arrives and I can hold him and kiss him and actually start the fun Journey of motherhood.

Our Life


I am kinda new at this whole blogging thing but I wanted to give it a try. This is a story about Matt and Stacy...

Matt is the second to the oldest of 6 kids. Two beautiful sisters and three brothers (the girls are well protected). His parents have been married for 27 years and raised their kids with a foundation of hard work, laughter, and love. Stacy is the youngest of four. One brother and two sisters. Her parents have been married for 35 years and raised their kids with "corporal punishment(inside joke)," spirituality, and love. 

 


We met our Junior year of High School. Our first date was May 1, 2004, our Junior Prom and then after that he just found every excuse to come see me and we have been together ever since (almost) he did leave for his mission to the Utah Provo Mission and was gone for two years. He moved to Utah after his mission and then I moved there shortly after that. We got engaged on September 13th 2008 and were Married November 1st 2008.  Now, almost two years later, we have a one year old dog named Tabius and we are expecting our first addition to the family, our little boy. His due date is Nov 26, 2010, the day after Thanksgiving(also-know-as "black friday").
