Marching off  to our new adventure is the coming arrival of our baby in March. :) 

I took this picture some time before 13 weeks. Maybe 12 weeks? 

Next is 13 weeks and 3 days.

  

Next is 15 weeks and 4 days. 

Not much has really changed except for this next week. I am starting to get a bump finally! I am super excited about it. Other than being nauseated I am starting to feel pregnant. That's a very nice feeling. 16 weeks and 4 days. 

This pregnancy is a blessing. I was starting to get discouraged a little bit because it was taking a while. But then it happened! Then I started to get a little anxious when I started nearing the time that I miscarried last time. I just keep hoping and praying that everything would be alright. I get pretty nauseous but I was letting the baby know that they could keep me sick as long as they wanted because then I would know they were still okay. I still complained a little bit about being sick but when days came that I was miraculously not sick I would worry. But the next day I was sick again. 

Everything is looking good though. I am 8 weeks past the time I miscarried and I am so happy about that. I don't really have sick days anymore. Except for week 15. I for some reason was pretty sick that week. I just determined that the baby was growing a lot that week. In two and a half weeks we will be able to find out what we are having. I thought it would take forever to get to this date but its coming pretty fast. I am excited to know what we are having. :)  

In August my family was able to come up. Jaden just got home from his mission and my parents and my siblings got to take a vacation to Utah to visit everyone. I was really excited that we all got to be together again. All the siblings were together. :) 

We did a ton of stuff while they were here. One of those things was celebrating my niece, Jocelyn's, birthday. It is so crazy that time has gone by so fast. I can't imagine being the mother of the child and the surprise of how fast it really does go. Tessa wanted to make these cupcake that look like ice cream cones. They didn't turn out the way that she wanted them too but they tasted good. 

We had the birthday at a park and while we were there we did family photos. I have not seen all of them yet but they turned out really well. 

The last day that they were here we celebrated a family tradition by going to Lagoon. When we would come to Utah during the summer when we were little, we would usually go to Lagoon. It's still a pretty fun place even after all these years. 

Cody and I went on an adventure to a place called Stuart Falls. I have been there a couple times and I still love it. It's such a beautiful hike and pretty easy. There was a couple cool trees but I took a picture of this one because it was the coolest. 

We packed a lunch and had lunch there. It got kind of cold with the mist of the water on us and we were in the shade. It felt nice at first though. Oh the way back to the car we had oranges and let me tell you.... It's not that great of an idea to eat oranges while hiking. They are hard to chew and swallow when you are breathing heavier. haha.
