Gardening....

... I have been so enjoying gardening this summer! We started a bunch of seeds. We started pumpkins, cucumbers- lemon and regular, zucchini, yellow squash, watermelons, green onions, radishes, beets, and lots of flowers- pansies and sunflowers...

It has been so rewarding watching them grow, we started them indoors and I have become attached!!

We also have tomatoes and peppers and tomatillos that we got in 4" and they have really grown-

We have veggies growing on the zucchini, squash, tomatoes and peppers..

It has been really fun for me!

Our 15 year Wedding Anniversary!

Today is Bucky and I's fifteen year wedding Anniversary! Wow time flies....

It was a beautiful day June 26 1994, the sun was shining and we were surrounded by all the people we loved the most .. it truly was one of the best days of my life...

We wrote this together for our invitation and it holds true,

"Today I will marry my best friend. The one I laugh with, love and forever share my life with".

This past fifteen years I have learned one very important thing. The importance of unconditional love. That is what we have, and that is what keeps us and our family strong.

Congrats to Elizabeth and Anthony!

I just wanted to say Congratulations to my cousins who found out they are expecting a baby BOY due this November~ we are so excited for you both!!

OB APPT 6/10/09

.. All seems to be going well. My uterus is maybe a little higher than 21 weeks but not by much.
Babys heartbeat sounds good. My BP was good 120/70- . I discussed my heart palpitations with the doctor and he told me that as long as they dont occur while exercising or mid day or accompany pain or shortness of breath it is okay. I feel them only at night when I am resting.

We will be doing my gestational diabetes test in 4 weeks, along with another thyroid test. He told me I should start eating as though I already have it as I will probably get it due to the fact I had it with Tanner .

I have already gained as much weight as I wanted to the whole pregnancy so that kind of bums me out. Bad choices I guess. So.... I am going to try to limit the weight gain ( without dieting obviously) so that I will be more healthy after I deliver as well as to avoid pregnancy problems such as high blood pressure. He told me the last 10 weeks of pregnancy I will gain 1 lb per week, so theres 10 more right there! I just need to make smarter choices.

The baby is a wiggle worm... pretty constant. Buck still hasnt felt it and it has me so annoyed!
I am like here now and he puts his hand there.. then the baby stops! Well all in good time I suppose.

Halfway Mark- 20 Weeks

Well, I am half way there! 20 weeks ( 21 on Wed). The baby is moving around and is so active I feel him all day long. I am definately getting bigger......

We went to Idaho for Grandma O's funeral this past week, it was very hard, we will miss her so much and I wish she would have gotten the chance to meet her new great grandson. It was nice though to see all the family. All of Tanners cousins on the Hanson side were present. All Buckys siblings except for Cody was there.

I will post some pictures along the side- Laurel and I are both pregnant within a couple few weeks of each other so we got a couple preggo shots together.

I loved seeing all the siblings and family in general and wish it was under happier times, we need to do it more often. Time sure flies by. Tanners out of school now for the summer and is real glad about it- there baseball team was undefeated for the season- with 6 home runs this season- way to go Tanner!
