On Monday, Brody started another semester of school. (By the way, I am LOVING being out and done with school!) He is working hard going to school full time and working full time. So far he is enjoying his classes, his favorite being a class on the effects of music. Brody is officially a junior this year, and that means we should be out of Pullman by August of 2014!!!
Also, on Monday, I entered into my second trimester! Baby is doing fine, Tuesday we had an appointment, and everything is going great. Baby's heart beat is good and strong. We are very excited, and hoping that everything continues to go well.
Now, that Brody is in school, it seems like our summer is gone. Honestly, it couldn't be a better time to move on from summer.
It doesn't look like everything is going to peachy from fall, but it is definitely looking brighter!
As some 'housekeeping' I would like to say, if you want to know about the happening in our lives, FOLLOW our blog. I might be on facebook, but we don't like to post personal things there. Which is why, with our pregnancy we haven't gone "facebook official". That and I think it is tacky.

13 weeks
Everyone keeps asking, and I am not keeping track, (is that bad?). But today my wonderful mother-in-law got me a Pregnancy calendar, so I filled it out. and hung it by my computer. So, now I will hopefully be able to answer that question.
I went maternity shopping this week, holy smokes! I thought I was being generous taking $300 cash... Yikes! Hopefully I won't need more clothes...
We are taking bets on the gender. I don't want to know, and have kind of been talked into a gender reveal party... Brody wants to know. So we are take a poll, Boy? or Girl? I say boy, Brody says girl.
Although, it is too early to tell, we want a theme, and jungle is a great one, but after doing a little shopping I think an aviation theme would be awesome!!

One year later...
I told y'all I would write about cats and bags, and I promise this is, so just hang in there!
I was looking through my posts, and wanted to know which post had the most views...
It was one about a year ago about my brother knocking up his wife while living with my parents... Still peeved about the situation, as they are still living with my dad... But the baby is kind of cute, and I think I know more about a taking care of a baby. (Well I do get paid to take care of two toddlers, and a few people at church call be the "baby whisperer"...)
It has 54 views.
But which post has the most comments...
It was one about me wanting to leave the ward, with 5... Honestly, some days I still want too. We have been in the ward for over 3 years now. We have seen lots of people come and go, leadership change, and have heard about more babies being birthed than I care to count. Some couples in those three years have had 2! (or are expecting!!)
Which leads to an understanding of why being told we were being classified as "unexplained infertility", is a hard thing to understand. Especially when the statistics are 2 to 10 couples are part of the special club. Another great bonus to being in the club, even if you do get pregnant, you get to have more tests done and some your insurance won't pay for...
But that isn't something we have to worry about, or is it...
Nope. We are lucky, at least so far. At 11 1/2 weeks, doctor gave us the a-OKAY to start gabbing away. Which now that I am allowed to start telling people, I don't really want to do that. It is like a little secret that I want to keep all to myself. That, and I am scared out of my MIND that something horrible will go wrong.
It is hard being pregnant, the first daughter to be pregnant, and having lost your mom. I was never able to ask her anything about being pregnant, and don't know what to expect. They tell you that can expect your pregnancy and labor to be like your mothers... Here is what I know, 5 kids after 30; 2 to 3 years apart. 4 natural labors, one induced with c-section. I think labor and delivery should be fine, but I have 7 to 8 months of baby growing time I know nothing about...
Well, I guess it is a good thing, I know a thing or two about babies, and we didn't leave the baby factory ward...
And as Brody put it, "Let's let this cat out of the bag!"
