Does two lines mean yes??

So, precisely 9 weeks ago, at around 5:30 in the morning I took a First Response pregnancy test. 5:30 because I couldn't wait or sleep until a more restful time in the morning. Now with Austin I used a EPT, which shows you a plus and a negative if you are pregnant. So for some reason, maybe because it was 5:30 in the morning, I thought the First Response would be the same as the EPT. So I took it and got the double line. I thought, "really" because I thought for sure I was pregnant. So for a good five minutes I just stared at it. Then to my excitement and (gulp)horror, I noticed the little key next to the window that screamed at me, "you idiot two lines means pregnant! If you cant read the test maybe you should take it at a more decent hour!" OK maybe it didn't say all that but I swere it did. So yeah, do you think I could sleep after that news. Nope. I laid in bed all morning worrying, with little burst of excitement.

I told Ryan around 7:00 and he was and is SOOO excited. (except when I give him the stink eye as I gag for the 100th time that morning, and am sick 24 hours a day. Yes, it is his fault.) The weird thing is, is that when I was pregnant with Austin, I was never sick. Tired yes, but not sick. So I have been a little shocked at how horrible morning sickness can be, especially when it last all flipping day.

So I really am excited to add another member to our loving family. I know Austin is going to be an AWESOME big brother, and Ryan, well, he would have 10 kids if it was up to him. He loves babies, and is an amazing dad. He would do anything for Austin and gives up so much of his free time to him. I am truly blessed to have both of them in my life. So can you tell I am a little emotional?? I blame it on the pregnancy. I love how I can blame everything on it :) (he he he)
I will keep you updated. I should have time, since all I do is sit around trying not to puke. I am starting to see a little ray of light at the end of the morning sickness tunnel, but it is still about 4 weeks away.

Any advice on how to manage the morning sickness would be appreciated! I will keep you posted!

Park City

The last day. It is pouring rain and we are huddled under the umbrella

Austin hated this ride, even with dad in the rocket. One time around the track and he was done. That was the best 4.00 we have spent.

But he loved this one. He wouldn't get off, so we pulled him off screaming.

Our little frogs. They could really cruise around the pool with those fins.

Playing in the hot tub. There were 6 to chose from.

How cute is this?

We had such a fun time in Park City. It was so fun hanging out with my family, sitting by the pool, and eating Carmel apples. It wasn't Laguna Beach, but still a really fun time.

Good bye my old Friend

Tex 1991-2008

Tex, my old friend, passed away yesterday. At 17 years of age,

he definitely had a good run at life. I watched his birth back when I was in elementary school, and 17 years later, and 10 years after I have graduated high school I was there to say goodbye in the end. Tex was a regular Houdini. We could NEVER keep that dog in. My dad would go out to the kennel for hours fixing every hole only a mouse could fit through. By the time he walked in the house, claimed that "he got his this time", Tex would be whimpering at the door. He could jump anything, and climb like you wouldn't believe! But for all his quirks, he was so much fun and the nicest little dog. Max, my parents dog (you can see his picture at the bottom of my blog) was Tex's best friend. He was at his side every second, actually crying, and laying on him until he passed. We would cover his body with a blanket, and Max would pull the blanket off and lay on him. He would not leave his side even after Tex was gone. Max has been howling all morning, truly mourning his friend. It is right out of "Where the Red Fern grows" I love and believe the saying that say, "Be the Person, your dog thinks you are"

We will miss you old boy!
