Before you were conceived I wanted you. Before you were born I loved you. Before you were an hour old I would die for you. This is the miracle of life.

It's a BOY!!


We found out yesterday at my ultrasound that we are having another son! Everything went really well and he was measuring perfect, about 5 days earlier than my due date.. they said perhaps the 17th. Bucky and Tanner and I got to watch as he wiggle wormed around and even sucked his thumb, it was really cool. His heartbeat was 150. He looked super cute like a little cuddly teddy bear, we are so excited to meet him!

He has been moving around alot the last couple days especially at night. I am so relieved he is healthy and all is going well! We love him already!

Quad Screen Results

I received my quad screen results today from the labs I had last Wednesday and they came out very low risk for birth defects- I am not sure what it all means but heres the info:
neural tube 1.19
downs syndrome 1; 8,500
trisomy 18 1;250,000

The nurse said they were all really good numbers so I am super relieved to hear this news!

Fishing... Big US tomorrow!


Tomorrows the big day I am so nervous!! I will be having the US at 4pm.. I just hope all is going well, and if baby cooperates we should be able to tell the gender. I'll post after I find out!!


This is from Sunday- Bucky , Tanner and I went for a nice drive and fished in the John Day River it was a fun time!

OB APPT 5/13/09


I went into The Dalles and did the second set of labwork to check for genetic abnormalities wednesday.. and had my first OB appt with a doctor up here. I really liked the nurse, the doctor was okay, but again a little more relaxed than I like! Baby is doing good HB was good and the "fundal height" of my uterus is all on track. BP was good. I am scheduled for the "BIG" ultrasound June 2- I will be 20 weeks to do a full scan of the baby and find out what we are having.


I had a lovely Mothers Day and have not posted- Bucky and Tanner picked me beautiful wildflowers, and then waited on me all day while they made me an EXCELLENT 3 course brunch.. would have been 4 but we were stuffed! It was a fun day.( I am positng a pic of Tanner from Mothers day)
And I want to mention tanner had the best hit of his baseball career this week with a hard line drive that went over the fence and resulted in a home run!! Super stud!


I found out my sis in law Laurel is having a girl!!!! YAY!
