Jed is the President of the Animal Science Club here at USU for his second year in a row, this is his fourth year being involved in the club, and my fifth. We have taken many fun trips through out that time, but this was my first time seeing an ALLIGATOR farm! This was in Hagerman, Idaho, just outside of Twin Falls. Anybody can walk in and see these beautiful creatures in their fenced in ponds. It was absolutely incredible to see this, I thought, something so pre-historic in nature.
Just look at that HUGE head!
Earlier that day we were able to tour Falls Farm Kill and Packing Plant, which was fantastic because no one lets anyone in anymore, but I didn't get any pictures of that. We also visited a fish hatchery, which was really interesting, and we stopped to see the huge Sturgeon, and that was cool. But I didn't get any pictures until the alligator farm. These guys are just so cool! We also went to a feed lot, which was way cool, an Idaho Steelheads hockey game, and a big dairy. It was a really fun trip! 
This sign made me laugh!
So I'm really late getting these picture up. We have a back bathroom that we didn't use for the first 8 months just because it stunk and the floor was gross. When my family decided to join us at our house for Thanksgiving 2011, it gave us the motivation we needed to get this bathroom done! So here's the bathroom after we ripped up the floor, but this picture shows the hole behind the toilet before we fixed it.
The sink before we started
The inside of the shower, the ceiling was gross!
This picture shows the hole getting fixed and more of the floor getting scraped.
Jed really cleaned up the shower, put new sheet rock in the ceiling, and put of this beautiful tongue and grove wood. I LOVE it!
The light above the mirror didn't work so we decided to tear it off and cover it up!
Doesn't it look amazing!!
The new floor is amazing too! I LOVE the back bathroom now :) Thanks to My Love for putting so much time and energy getting this room going again. You are truly the most patient, kind, and loving hubby there ever was and I will love you forever and ever. And not just because you're such a handyman, but because you're an amazing man and husband, and you are already an amazing father. I love you, Jed Wayne. Forever and Always!
We're gonna be family :) Isn't our baby beautiful?! We're so excited and couldn't be happier!
Look! Look what we made!!
Do you remember that post where I whined about not being pregnant? Well, they day I wrote that post I had taken a pregnancy test about six days early, and that particular test boasted that it was right six days early. And when that test said negative I was devastated. Then six days later, my monthly timer was late. That night I got a positive pregnancy test. I got another positive that morning. I was excited, but also worried I was getting a false reading. I called and got an appointment with my doc for what would be my eight week mark (so that would put me four more weeks out from that Friday) but two weeks later I start bleeding and was extremely worried that my body was not wanting to carrying a baby again and my doc had me come in the very next day. We did an ultrasound and the baby looked great and healthy. Turns out I had a polyp that had started to bleed, most likely caused by too much stress and standing all day at work (not that that has changed, we still stand all day but luckily I haven't had any other problems) and my doc just had me take a couple of days just nice and easy.
We had our second ultrasound at our eight week mark and could see the heartbeat and little bit of activity from our baby. We are lucky enough to have Dr. Jacob Curtis in Preston, Id be our doc and he's awesome. He has just one lump fee and and less expensive ultrasound machine so he's really great about doing ultrasounds almost every time. And things have been great. I've been really lucky and haven't got too sick unless I'm around cigarette smoke. That smell makes my sick to my stomach, especially if it's a patient at work. Oh man I can't hardly stand to be around that smell.
Then, at our last appointment, my twelve week mark, Jed and I got to really see our baby (see picture at our pregnant announcement post) and that was simply amazing. The baby seemed to look right at us and wave it's little fingers. Our baby is absolutely beautiful! And being pregnant is absolutely the most amazing thing. My love for our baby is already unlimited and I'm so excited to have this blessing given unto me. I pray that women who desire to be mothers will get to experience this amazing feeling, and my thoughts and prayers are constantly with those families who are trying, wanting, and waiting. I pray that soon enough they will also be lucky enough to share these wonderful and precious moments/feelings.
I'm now at my fifteen week mark. I still have at least three weeks before I can even hope to feel the baby move but most likely five or more weeks. I'm enjoying every bit of this pregnancy and trying to capture every moment and be ready to catch many more. In five weeks we'll get our gender test done and find out what kind of baby we're gonna have and I'm stoked!! Once we find out we can start narrowing our name list and I think it'll make this all feel a lot more real.
I'm so excited to be a mom!! I can't even begin to explain this feeling!! I feel extremely blessed and I know Jed's also excited and it going to be a wonderful dad!! **Shrieking and Squealing!!** Yay :) I get to be a mom :)
During Christmas time we had a get together with Joe and Jency Weston, Jency's cousin Amber, and our good buddy Tyler Hamilton. The boys were playing one of the James Bond games on the wii and their faces were priceless!!
