Time is FLYING by! I'm 23 weeks already! It's so crazy and he is getting so big! I love feeling him move around and kick :) its definitely getting stronger and feels like a fish flopping around haha but it makes me smile every time :)
I have an appointment on the 8th with my new Dr so I'm hoping she is good!
I was introduced to Noodles & Company by my friends Abbie and Sadie Miller. It's now a new craving lol. Along with my Red Robin craving for the Whiskey River BBQ chicken wrap. Mmmm.
Btw, my dog Thor, he is the equivalent of the dog from Marley and Me... Only 150 lbs heavier. He destroys everything. I'm so excited for him to turn 2 cuz we've heard from everyone with Newfies that it's almost over night after that when they settle down and turn into couch potatoes! Haha yay!

Babies every where!!
It's been a busy past couple of months! My sister in law Megan and her husband Rob had their little girl Gracie Elizabeth Fox :) she is such a doll!! She was born the beginning of August and was perfect and healthy! We are so happy for them :)
On the 18th of September my brother Jase and his girlfriend Alauna had their first baby! Agirl! Her name is Oakley Jordan Denney, she was born a month early. Her due date was October 16th, but she weighed 6lbs and is healthy as can be! We are so grateful and she is the first grand baby on my families side so that's pretty exciting :)
This last Sunday I met up with my father and brother in law at the exit closets the freeway so we could drive down to Salt Lake for Gracie's baby blessing! It was a rough morning haha I am NOT a morning person so having to wake up at 5 am was a little bit of a struggle. But I did it! And we made it to the blessing just in time! It was a beautiful blessing and Rob did an amazing job! Can't wait for our turn ;)
Logan is back up in North Dakota working so he won't be home till around Halloween. It's hard and it sucks but it's work and it pays the bills. I'm so proud of him! Rider is too ;)
We got Riders crib last weekend and since I'm so impatient I had to put it together right after we got it! I LOVE it and it makes it feel so much more real now and I can't wait to get started on his room more!!

Can't sleep.... Let's ramble.
It's 3:30 am. I'm pretty sure I have a sleeping disorder. Yesterday I was awak till 6 am! Woke up at 11 am and made myself some Mac and cheese for lunch then went back to bed. I would try and stay awake to get my body somewhat back to on track, but it's flu season and I'm going to sleep any chance I get to help the immune system out a bit. I definitely DO NOT want to get this flu bug that's going around. Especially since I'm prego and that means twice as bad and twice as long for anything. On a happier note, I'm 20 weeks today! Woo hoo! Half way done :) I actually like being pregnant. The first tri was a little rough and all I wanted was cold stuff like salads and WATERMELON! Lol. Occasionally I got sick and it was always so random. Watching a movie, relaxing, ope just kidding gonna run as fast as possible to the bathroom! And let's not forget, hungry?? All the time. But also very sick if I let myself get hungry. Very inconvenient. This tri is great for the most part. I figured out that red meat and dairy make me feel awful. My biggest craving as of right now and the last week or so, Red Robins Whiskey River BBQ Chicken Wrap... OMG. My mouth is watering and I'm still as hungry if not more from a few hours ago. Different subject. Quick. I still feel just as tired as I did in the first tri and I get awful headaches almost every day. My boobs have grown two whole cup sizes! Amazing!! I'm used to my little mosquito bites! These suckers get in the way and I love it!! So does Logan ;) hahaha.i feel pretty normal hormone wise.... HA! NOT!! I had a dramatic tearful break down a couple weeks back after my husband brought home some essential oil for my back aches. I DID NOT want to smell like a oil loving hippie where you can't even eat cuz the smell is overbearing and triggers every gag reflex in the room... I was fine after I learned it was only peppermint :) I have also made the mistake in watching numerous YouTube videos of soldiers surprising their families...yep tear fest right there! Some times I hate everyone breathing for no reason and other times I spend an hour or two writing sweet nothings to my friends and family on fb :) its great fun. Poor Logan, never knows what to expect. The biggest highlight of 2nd tri is feeling Rider move :) I don't think I could ever get sick of this feeling. I know I know eventually he will be all up in my ribs playing rock band. For now it's nice :) he always moves when Logan calls at night :) him knows hims dad. He must really love his uncle Jordan, whenever I've talked about him with Jase or his mom, he kicks up a storm! Hope your teaching him a thing or two up there Jord!! ;) that's another thing, Riders middle name is Jax. We chose Jax cuz we wanted his middle name to start with a J, after my dad, Logan's dad, my brother and cousin Jordan. Jax was perfect for our little man and fits perfectly :)
Well, I'm done writing for the night. Sorry for not separating my work into paragraphs and what not I'm not too ambitious right now ;) Night!!!

It's a.... BOY!!!
Yep, there is definitely no doubt lol.
Unfortunately Logan wasn't able to make it to this ultrasound due to working in North Dakota. But he was able to feel like he was there later on after watching the video of the ultrasound! It was so fun :) his face was priceless! And his smile was ear to ear.
I've felt like we were having a boy from the day I found out. Even though they don't really have a gender until week 7 or so. I was starting to get nervous about the ultrasound cuz of the possibility of it being a girl but as soon as she stuck that ultrasound wand on my belly he was showing us loud and clear what he was! Haha. We could be happier with our little man :) For those of you who don't already know, our little guys name is Rider Jax! We are soooo in love with him already and can't wait to meet him face to face!
I've already got his room planned! I can't wait to start on it!! Pictures to come :)
Here's a pic of his cute little foot!! I just love it :)

Let's catch up! :)
I'm a little bit of a slacker! Haha I haven't wrote on here since we were in North Dakota!
So starting from there, I decided the truckers life was definitely not for me. So I returned to Blackfoot and held up the fort there ;)
On December 15th 2011 I got the best Christmas present ever!! Mighty Thor Maximus :) my 8 week old Newfoundland puppy! I wish I had a picture on here to post of him when I first got him I don't so maybe one we can have a picture day haha. He was the biggest ball of fluff I had ever seen in my life!looked like a black grizzly bear cub. He has the funniest personality and I love him soooo much! He's my first child and my forever giant baby bear :) as of right now he's over 150 lbs and 10 months old... Big baby!
Christmas was fun! We spent new years with my family at my grandmas house and played Bingo, and tripolay! I'm sure I spelt that wrong. Early Christmas morning we went to Logan's parents and opened presents and then later went to mine to do the same. Lots of fun and I got some new riding gear!! We also got to go to the temple and celebrate the sealing of Megan and Rob! Can't wait for our turn!!
We went on the annual Mesquite riding trip just a couple days after Christmas, it was a blast and I got to put my new riding gear to use!! :)
New years day is where it's at. We have a tradition where we eat our first breakfast of the year at my grandmas and she makes these things called avelsceevers?? Spelt that wrong too lol. Anyways their basically little pancake balls but so much better and she makes this homemade caramel syrup for them that is seriously to die for!! And of course with some other breakfast foods.
Well I can't really remember what happened between new years and when we found out we were expecting!!! I believe that was in June, and my first big clue was, I told off my boss and walked out hahaha usually it takes quite a bit to push me to that point but I guess I was just rubbed the wrong way that day haha. So after my suspicions and of course a late period, which had been off sincefebruary anyways due to a medication, I decided to take a test and it was just one of those 88 cent ones so when I saw that 2nd line of course I couldn't believe it and drove to Walmart to get more tests and the expensive ones! Sure enough they were all positive! Logan was still in north Dakota and if you know me you will know I have very little patience so I called him up right away and shouted the news in the phone like an announcer at the Kentucky derby. We were both so excited. And for those of you wondering, we weren't trying but we weren't exactly trying not to either haha. All I can say is, don't fast about a baby if you don't plan on getting pregnant right after haha. Our first ultrasound was July 12th and it took forever to get here! Hearing the heartbeat was so surreal but I, glad I got to hear it before we had the ultrasound so I knew there was actually a baby in there lol. The first time seeing our little one was amazing and it moved around so much! I couldn't believe I wasn't able to feel it yet! Then again I was only 11 weeks haha. I still stare at those u,trasound pictures everyday in astonishment :) We had our last dr appt on the 9th of August and all they did was find the heart beat which took quite awhile and spooked us both! But baby was fine :) as for me, I got quite the lecture from the dr. I guess I had lost weight since the first time going in and my dr was very upset by it. She thought I wasn't eating or keeping food down but I was. And trust me I eat more then my husband right now haha. So hopefully I've gained something since then so I won't have to hear it. Our next appt is this Thursday! The 30th! And yes we find out what were having!! Yay!! Unfortunately, Logan won't be here for it because of having to work in north dakota but I haves good team that will be joining me :) we plan on filming it so we can send the video to Logan and he feel like he was there :) I'm so excited to finally know so we can start referring to the baby by a name! And plan the nursery and buy clothes! :) I'll keep you guys updated when we find out! Oh And did I mention we live in Logan Utah now?? Logan is going to school in January and we wanted a head start on housing. Luckily we found the most perfect house and neighborhood, so we're really happy and loving this new adventure!! :)
