last ultrasound

Our very healthy little angel

Here is the most recent of our son to be. He is getting big! I am over half way and we are anxious to meet him!

IT'S A BOY!

The doctor says the baby weighs 8 ounces and is very healthy! We are so excited for our little baby boy!!

My baby is the size of...

an onion

Average size: 5.1 in, 5.9 oz

The date is set!

My State Board Practical Evaluation is September 19 at 9am in Sunset, Utah. Please pray that I don't goof up just because I am nervous. Practical is the hardest part about getting my license so we are really hoping it goes smoothly.

Wish me luck!

My lovely little lump.. check it out!

16 weeks 4 days

Yes it is little, but it is there. I am very glad it isn't any bigger right now. I don't want the saggy belly post pregnancy. This is right when I woke up before breakfast or anything (I am massive when I have a food baby on top of my regular baby). I felt the baby move on labor day evening. It felt like tapping or popcorn in my belly. One more week until I find out the sex!

A wonderful man

This adorable baby grew up into such wonderful man. I am the luckiest girl alive because this man loves me. He is such a hard worker and wants so much for me. I love how he is always the first one to help a neighbor or a stranger. He is an amazing priesthood holder and is going to be such a good father. I love how much he cares about my family and wants the best for them. He is always making me smile and doing sweet things for me. Last night he made me brownies when I woke up from a nap. Last month he surprised me with a tea party when I was sad. Everyday is special because I get to spend it with my best friend who treats me like a princess. I am so happy I met him at such a young age so I get to spend even more time with Mitchell.  

Bowie Board

This is one of my latest with my inspiration being obvious. My medium is Sharpies.

More Ultrasound Pictures!

My favorite is the little foot and leg!

NuMom2Be Study

I am participating in a study at the Utah Valley Hospital. The study is to determine the cause of premature birth. The study is for those pregnant with there  I visit with them once a trimester and they take my weight and a bunch of other samples and answer a bunch of random questions. In return for participating they are giving me three ultrasounds with pictures and a dvd of the ultra sounds at the end. I also get $50 compensation for participating along with an additonal $100 for participating in a sleep study for two nights. The very best part of the entire thing is the fact that I get to find out what the baby is through them instead of the OBGYN... meaning I get to find out early. I haven't even recieved my first ultrasound from the OBGYN yet so I am very blessed to be part of this study. I am finding out what the baby is through the hospital on September 15th at 2:00pm. I am very anxious to find out what it is!! Either way though we will love the kid to death and it will be spoiled rotten.

I'll keep you all posted on updates along with some more pictures to come tomorrow!

First Ultrasound!

There are a few more pictures I need to put on.. my mother inlaw scanned them and I don't know where they are on the computer and I have to go to school now.

Baby Blanket

I know everyone still makes fun of me for having my baby blanket... however, I still have it... and sleep with it. It is in the washer right now and I am freaking out that it is going to implode. It is on the extreme delicate cycle so I have my fingers crossed.

The many animals I live with

This is Max. He is a chihuahua. He looks like a giant rat.

He gets a lot more cute the more you get to know him.

This is Fable. She is one of Hiccups kittens. I will

have to make a different post all about them.

The kittens when they were a few days old. They were

so cute!

This is my Hiccup fresh out of surgery. She was

just declawed and spayed. The vet also gave her 

a tummy tuck.  Hiccup is very spoiled. She is a very tiny

full grown cat. I love her a lot. She likes to pick on the

other animals and she loves hiding and jumping out to scare Callie.

Hiccups Face

This is Callie. She is a brat. She has a very pretty

purr though.

This is Boo. He smells really bad and picks fights with

Max and Mort. But he is very sweet.

Max

This is Mort. He is Kimberlys dog. He is still a puppy so

we are constantly running aways from him. Hiccup used

to play with Mort when he was smaller but now he is too

big and she runs away from him. He comes over a couple

times a week.

I couldn't find a picture of Sheepy. She is one of the prettiest cats I have ever seen. She loves to play outside and is overall extremely nice. But she is shy and I lived with the Wilcox's for about a month before I even saw her.

Anyways, these are the many animals I live with. I am very glad I have inlaws and a husband who adore animals so much! I love feeding and playing with them everyday. Hiccup has brought so much joy in my life and makes everyday stresses seem easier. None of them compare to Sparky sometimes it is hard walking into pets mart buying things that are not for my dog. I am so excited for the day where I can have a dog again and relive my favorite memories of my best friend.

Two new paintings!

These are my latest paintings that I have been working on. The top one I am entering in the Spring Salon tomorrow. Wish me luck!

A Great Moment

The day I painted the pillars for the wedding was an amazing day. Everyone wasn't too stressed yet and we were all having stupid moments. This stupid moment looks like it would have been my dads, but it was actually mine. I asked my dad to open a paint can for me. He said he would and walked out of the room. I decided to try to open it myself and succeeded. I put the set the lid on top of the paint can and went to do something else inside. Ten minutes later the back door opens and my dad is looking at us and says, "Pauline, can you get me some new clothes?" I neglected to tell him I opened it... the paint spilled all over him as he carried it to the back yard. ha ha. I sure do love my daddy.

She is ten years old.

Check out this girl.. I wonder if her parents are proud of her.
