Catching Up...

Well it has been a long time. I am sitting here at USU waiting for Garen to get done with school. I had to come with him today so I could take some tests for my sociology class. I haven't quite figured out the point of taking an online class if the teacher still makes you come to campus to take the tests but oh well... the semester is almost over. Since I am not at my home computer I cannot put up any pictures but I promise pictures of baby brewer, graduation, and fun times are coming. A lot has gone on since the last time I posted. I participated in the graduation ceremony at Utah State. I have three weeks until I will be officially done but the end is in sight. My cute nephew Garrett came up for the 4th of July holiday. We spent the weekend watching movies outside on the projector, swim parties, a day at the Elwood Town celebration, and a baby blessing. It was such a fun weekend and Garrett said Grandpa. He is growing up so fast! He waves good bye and sometimes will even say bye. I wish they lived closer so that I could see them more. I had another doctors appointment. This one really just consisted of a whole bunch of tests. They made my drink this nasty orange drink and then checked to make sure that I didn't have gestational diabetes. They haven't called and said the test was positive so I must be okay. They measured me for the first time. (I had a lady doctor this time because my regular doctor was on vacation.) She poked my stomach and then put the measuring tape up. We also got to listen to the baby's heart beat. He must be a jokester already because she would put the machine on and listen to it and then he would move to the other side of my stomach so she would move to hear it and he would move again. The doctor said she was playing chase the baby. The heart beat was strong and good and that is always nice to hear. My next appointment is not until August. I have 15 weeks left time is flying by so fast! We have been keeping busy though. Our crib is purchased along with some other necessary baby items. They are still sitting in the box though until the baby's room gets painted. We have also decided on a name for our little one it will be.... Tyler Garen Brewer. Garen and I celebrated out 3 year anniversary on Monday. We went to my favorite place Formosa for lunch and then saw Grown ups. It was a good movie but it was nice just to spend time with Garen. Tomorrow is our 1 year temple anniversary! Man time flies. I am so lucky to be married to my best friend! I am even more excited that our little family is growing and we now get to experience parenthood.

ITS A BOY!

I had my 20 week appointment last week. I am half way there! I got another ultrasound. The tech went through all the organs and looked the baby over from head to toe. He told us that the baby was very healthy and everything looked good. We got to find out the sex of the baby. ITS A BOY and he was not shy about it either. Garen, my dad, Brandon, and Cameron all guessed right. However, my mom was actually wrong. We got a couple 3D pictures of our little boys face every time the man would click the picture button though he would turn his head so we got three side profile pictures... but he looks cute! I will post the pictures later when I have a scanner to do it. After our appointment we went shopping for some boy stuff. We got a lot of cute outfits and shoes. In the next couple weeks we will be painting and putting together baby Brewers room. We feel so blessed and grateful for all our blessings!

Its been a long time...

Life has been super busy lately and the blog has been the last thing on my mond lately. A lot has happened since my last post. Garen turned 28 on May 21. It was a good day. I took the weekend off of work and we spent the night in the Egyptian Pyramids room at the Anniversary Inn. It was a fun day. The celebration continued the later that day with cake and ice cream with the family then we went and saw Iron Man 2. I was surprised it was actually a good movie. The baby liked it as well... it was moving like crazy it felt like I had a million butterflies in my stomach! All in all Garen had a good birthday. He may not be too happy about being so close to 30 though!

15 Week Check-Up

I had my fifteen week appointment yesterday. The doctor came in and went over the tests they ran and said everything looked great then he let us listen to the heartbeat. He had a hard time finding it at first. Apparently I am caring the baby "high" or at least that's what he told me. I love hearing the heartbeat. I could listen to it all day. He said everything is right on track and told me he would see me in June and we would find out the sex of the baby! I think I was there for ten minutes is all.. it was a very quick appointment.

The debut of baby Brewer

I had my first doctors appointment on March 29th. It was my ten week appointment and we got to have an ultrasound of the baby done. The baby was moving like crazy during the ultrasound (maybe it was that couple sips of diet pepsi I had before ha ha) It was so fun to see the baby actually look like a baby. Garen gets updates on his ipod about the developmental stages of the baby. I just have to laugh and roll my eyes. The other morning he proceeded to tell me what was good to eat for breakfast. I told him I would eat whatever so long as he made it. The other day he was also arguing with me about how far along I was. Needless to say I was right and he was wrong. I will be 14 weeks tomorrow and into my second trimester and I am crossing my fingers in hopes that I don't throw up as much. We went on date night yesterday and saw the back up plan. It was pretty cute. They kept showing her eating all this food... I throw up at the very sight of food and she would eat hotdogs... I love hotdogs but you couldn't pay me to eat one now! My belly is growing a little. According to the development charts the baby is 4 inches and weighs 2 ounces. Garens update says it about the size of an orange... I told him that a pear might be a better comparison since our baby does have a head and a body and is not completely round. Even as I am typing this he is correcting me and saying the baby is the size of a lemon... ha ha I don't think there is really a size difference but whatever. I am excited that he is so excited for the baby. We are both so very happy!!

GUESS WHAT!?

Me and Garen decided to finally break the news (for the very few there are that still don't know) We are going to have a BABY. I am due October 25th! We couldn't be more happy! Garen and I had a hard time starting a family... and after two years of trying we are excited for our first little one to be on the way! It was funny how it all came to be. We were going to the Womens Center in Ogden.. After christmas I was feeling down about not being able to have a baby and me and Garen decided it was time to do something about it. I was told this center in Ogden was good at helping with infertility and all throughout December I couldn't get it out of my mind. I called an made an appointment and was told that going on this medicine would help. So I took the pills and had to come back for follicle checks. The first ultrasound showed only one follicle and she said that it was too small to be an egg, the only good news I got was that I had a great utersus. I couldn't help but laugh when she said that. The doctor had me come back a couple days later for another ultrasound and there was nothing there. I was heart broken and she told me that the odds of me getting pregnant that month were slim to none. I cried the whole way home and poor Garen was trying anything he could to make me feel better. He even went out and bought me a purse. The doctor increased the dose of my medcine and told me that we would try again next month. Well finally the monday after Valentines day I had a dream that I had 6 babies!! It was quite the dream. I decided that even though the doctor told me that I would not be pregnant that I would get a test and see anyways. I took one test and it came out POSITIVE I was so excited that me and Garen just jumped up and down and hugged forever. I still could not believe that I was actually going to have a baby so we went out an bought three more tests. They all came back positive but I still wanted more proof so I went to the hospital for a blood test. I was told that I was in fact pregnant!! The medicine ened up working the first time. My OB said that I was pregnant by the first ultrasound and thats why she saw what she did. I have been really sick but I can't complain. The joy that comes from being able to have a baby in indescribable and not being able to get pregnant for so long was so hard but we know that the Lord knows all and knows what is best. Garen will make such a great father. We have dodger clothes for the baby already (thanks aunt Nicole) and baseball shoes. Garen gets the boy stuff and I get bows. We will be happy with a boy or a girl. We find out June 7th what the sex is. Garen lost his job and our insurance the same day we found out we were having a baby so we will be moving in with my parents so that we can save money for the hospital bills and also because Garen will be going to Law school soon. My parents are excited that they will be able to see the baby everyday. I have ultrasound pictures of baby Brewer but I will have to get Garen to put them on the blog because I am not good at those things. Some of the pictures are blurry because the baby was moving like crazy! I can't wait to be a mom!!!

I am so bad at this blogging thing. I never post pictures and I never know quite what to say... Maybe I will just turn it over to Garen and see if he does any better! Big changes will be happening soon. We are moving in may and school is almost out! I have one online class to take this summer and I will be done. I don't think I will know what to do with myself when I am done... Garen and I are busy as usual. Garen is working hard in school and I feel like all I do lately is work and study for chemistry. I will be so happy when I am done with chemistry. Everyone in my class is doing bad, in fact the teacher is going to have to make adjustments to the grades so that enough people will pass the class so he wont get in trouble! I am going to have Garen help me post pictures so more is coming soon!!
