The best things in life are worth waiting for....

That's right, you guessed it!!!!! WE ARE FINALLY HAVING A BABY!!! After 3 long years, 4 doctors, and too many prayers to count, we are finally past our first trimester!!!

I found out I was pregnant on June 6, and only after 4 tests did it actually sink in. I was so afraid of letting myself get worked up again, that we didn't really tell anyone for awhile. I switched doctors again, and something is just right this time I suppose.

I have for sure learned patience, and that all things come in time, but I have to say, every week that goes by I am so greatful!!!

As of today I am officially 15 weeks, and that puts our due date on February 14, 2010!! That's right folks, a Valentines baby!! My only concern is that I am seeing a doctor in Blackfoot, and I am terrified that I am going to go into labor in the middle of a snowstorm and be like all the crazy women in my family and have a baby in 2 hours flat. Can you just picture Shawn trying to deliver a baby in the jeep (cause "it will buck drifts ya know!") on I-15 somewhere in between our house and Blackfoot!?!

And for those of you that know my besty Leslie, she and Travis are also having a baby, and we have the SAME due date!!!!!! We are both going to Bingham, and I am so thankful that we are doing this together!!! Its been such a comfort that she is going through the same things at the same times as I am. Its true what they say, "Everything happens for a reason." I guess our babies were meant to come to Earth together.

Shawn's sister Mindy is kind enough to deal with my constant questions and concerns, and I am so lucky to have her around. She has been doing my ultra sounds for me, and I know as scared as she has been to do them for me, I wouldn't have it any other way. She took these amazing shots for us, and I hope you get as big of a kick out of them as we did!! In these shots I am only 12 weeks 5 days, so you can see that the little munchkin is growing like crazy!!
