To those who think I am fat.....

We are expecting a little bundle of adventure in August! We went to our appointment today and heard our babies heartbeat for the first time! I cried and Jeff said it sounded really strong like a boy! ;)

I found out we were expecting right before Christmas and wrapped up the test and put it under the tree! (happy urine covered present my dear!) I was going to wait till Christmas Eve and have him open it, but if you know me at all that totally didn't work out and I had him open it that night. He was excited and we laughed and cried! What an expensive present I gave him to pay for! Merry Christmas!

For some reason this go around I am quite a bit larger and my tummy is already pretty out there, last week the bishop asked him if I was pregnant and Jeff was really tempted to say, "no she is just fat" cause that is what I say to him all the time. I am convinced I am not having a baby I am having a werewolf. So I didn't think we could keep this quite any longer. Not the whole world reads my blog and I figure anyone that bothers to read this really boring thing must really care about me so I figure here is where I would post it and everyone else can just find out or think I'm fat!

New Jobs New Changes! We love it!



Hi everyone! It's time for another post! The best news is Jeff got two new jobs! One as a night job delivering pizza's at Dominoes (sp? I don't eat it) and the REAL job is at Master Control as a computer techish person that I don't fully understand but that is something he will rock at and love! He started on Monday and it is such a relief for him to have a job where people appreciate his potential and hard work! Plus we get health insurance! YAY! :)

We are loving our new ward and we are in the nursery with the CUTEST little kids who I adore and love watching! I love little personalities you watch blooming and how their eyes light up when we learn something, plus my husband in SO GOOD with kids and they all love him more then me!

All of my married sisters and sis in-laws are pregnant and they are all so cute and they make such beautiful babies that they have to keep reproducing or it's not fair to the rest of the world!














Jefferson and Emily are engaged and getting married on April 28th! I could not be more excited or less suprised! They are so complimentary to each other and they will be very happy!








Paul is going to GRADUATE this year?!?! Seriously?!?! He is such a handsome, talented, good person, I couldn't be more proud.





Eliza is beautiful and smart and she is in Jr High... weird... I am getting old...

That was for those of you who know my family and most of you do ;)

Jeff and I are about to celebrate our first Valentines Day together! I love being married to the perfect man for me! I love my Heavenly Father for helping me find him (and Robyn and Chris and Holly Dortch) and I couldn't be happier!

Our honeymoon

I just realized I didn't put very many pics up of our fun trip to Yellowstone for two days and the AWESOME cabin Jeff's parents let us stay in! Oh man that place RULES and was very fun!

Christmas!!!!!




We have had so much fun decorating our house. We have great friends the Thalin's who have taken us under their wings and helped us with decorating our home! That woman's house is like walking into Santa's workshop and she shared some of Santa's leftovers with us! Also Jeff's brother Greg and his wife Jenny gave us their old Christmas tree so we would have one this year! I love being home and everything feeling so FESTIVE! I love Christmas!

Many thanks to Robyn! and RH Negative Blood!

Robyn was kind enough to give my page a makeover..... I know it needed it! Stuff to write about... I don't know! I am not a big blogger because I am convinced that the world will be bored to tears about what I have to think about.

Well something I think more people need to be aware of is HR negative blood type. I wish people had let me know about this issue! It was a major factor in our miscarriage and because of our lack of knowledge and a really bad blunder by the AF Hospital we are more likely to lose our next baby!

If you are Rh-negative, you may develop antibodies to an Rh-positive baby. If a small amount of the baby's blood mixes with your blood, which often happens, your body may respond as if it were allergic to the baby. Your body may make antibodies to the Rh antigens in the baby's blood. This means you have become sensitized and your antibodies can cross the placenta and attack your baby's blood. They break down the fetus's red blood cells and produce anemia (the blood has a low number of red blood cells). This condition is called hemolytic disease or hemolytic anemia. It can become severe enough to cause serious illness, brain damage, or even death in the fetus or newborn. Fortunately, Rh sensitization is preventable with an immunization shot called Rh immunoglobulin (RhIg, or Rhogam™) that is taken at intervals throughout the pregnancy. Since the development of RhIg, in 1968, we have seen fewer and fewer mothers who are Rh sensitized.


Interesting Facts:

*It is impossible to clone Rh Negative people and blood.

*Rh-factor protein is divided among races. Fifteen percent of whites are Rh negative, 5 to 10 percent of African Americans are Rh negative, and 1 to 2 percent of Asians are negative for the protein.

*Those with the highest Rh-negative rate are a branch of people in Europe called the Basques. Basques have almost double the European rate (which is abnormally high to begin with) of Rh-negative people.

*Those with O- RH Negative blood can give to ANY blood type but can only receive blood from people with their same blood type.

*There are a lot of crazy theories and beliefs about RH Negative Blood!
Such as:
a)People claim from the Biblical quotes that, Rh-negative blood originated from the Watcher angels who interbred with human women during the pre-flood era, eventually producing giants known as nephilims. The watcher angels were quoted as such in the book of Enoch and as "sons of God" in Genesis 6,4. The allele pattern of this genetic survival has led to speculations of Rh-negative genes passed on to Enoch, Noah and the post-flood humanity. The blood of Jesus is sourced as Rh-negative (AB) from the shroud evidence.
b)Besides claims of aristocratic lineages in European history, "blue blood" and various other dubious claims in the past linking to Rh-negative, Peter whom Jesus had given the keys to heaven was quoted as saying that "we will be judging angels".
c)They believe we all have these things in common, which we DON'T!
There are certain similarities that occur to those having rh negative blood - according to some who have it there are common patterns found, which include the following:
1. predominance of green or hazel eyes that change color like a chameleon, but also blue eyes
2. true red or reddish hair
3. low pulse rate
4. low blood pressure
5. keen sight or hearing
6. ESP
7. extra rib or vertebrae
8. UFO connections
9. love of space and science
10. a sense of not belonging to the human race
11. piercing eyes
12. para-normal occurrences
13. physic dreams
14. truth seekers
15. desire for higher wisdom
16. empathetic illnesses
17. deep compassion for fate of mankind
18. a sense of a 'mission' in life
19. physic abilities
20. unexplained scars on body
21. capability to disrupt electrical appliances
22. alien contacts

d)Believe that human bloodlines were manipulated by the fallen angels, some call aliens.

e)Believe rh- is a angelic trait, passed to us by The Watchers.(Angels, they believe Angels came down and took women to wife and we are their descendants!)

I am sure a lot of you have heard, but we lost our little one. We are sad but we know that we will see our little one again. There have been so many problems with this and physical stuff I have been up against. But the good news is things are looking up today. I am just so glad I have a husband who is strong, caring, thoughtful and supportive. I would never have been able to survive something like this without someone like him.

Life's Little Turns








I though I would post some pictures of our honeymoon! We went to Island Park and then to Yellowstone for a couple of days! I LOVED IT! So relaxing and fun! We saw buffalo among other crazy animals! I can't believe I have always been so close to such an amazing place and never seen it! There is bubbling mud there! Like in Laberinth! (I don't know how to spell that movie) Anyway! Married life rules, only becuase I married the right man! If I hadn't I think being married would be the hardest thing in the world! Poor people who do that! But the point is I'm happy and I love my husband and we are super happy and he is super kind and thoughtful and leaves me love notes and I LOVE him!
