Pregnancy Update

Well this Friday I will officially be 10 weeks along :) It is going by so fast and yet so slow at the same time because I can't wait for this baby to be here!! :) I definitely need the 9 months to prepare, though. I have my 2nd appt with the OBGYN on Tuesday. He said I will need to see him every 4 weeks. I also had to go to the endocrinologist last week because my thyroid levels came out low from my blood work. The DR said I will need to get some more blood work done (which he could have just told me over the phone instead of having to wait an hour to see him for 5 min). So I got the blood work done and I have an appt with him this Friday to get an ultrasound - no not the fun kind - of my thyroid and he will know for sure if I need medicine. I've never had a problem with my thyroid before being pregnant that I know of. The DR didn't act like it was a big deal though. Anyway, Alex and I are getting more and more excited for this baby. We haven't agreed on any names so far.. we apparently have way different tastes, but hopefully we'll be able to make a decision by the time he or she is here :) Well I guess that's the update for now. I will try to keep posting, but no guarantees.. I'm not very good at keeping up with this thing.

BABY!!!

Due April 21, 2011! We're so excited!!!

Easter Weekend at Grandma Dee Dee and Papa Lovelace's House

We finally decided that we would all go see my Grandma Dee Dee and Papa for Easter this year since we hardly ever get to spend holidays with them. So me and Alex (or just me) packed our bags and we headed out Saturday morning. I was able to get off work around 5 am so Alex picked me up from work and we were on our way to Woodville. I got ZERO sleep on the way there, of course. So when I got there I crashed... and so did Alex actually lol. We slept for a few hours and when we woke up, my family was there. Savannah and Aaron were already there because they came a day early. Actually funny story... Aaron was asleep when we got there and Alex crawled in the bed with him and freaked him out lol wish I would have gotten a picture. Here are the pictures I did manage to get :)

Me and Alex at the Dogwood Festival. This is a really big event around Woodville, Tx (where my grandparents live). There was carnival food, lots of people, booths, and a parade, which is what we were getting ready for in this picture. It was a lot of fun, especially with all my family there.

This is just a funny picture of Justin at the parade trying on Alex's glasses. I'm sure he couldn't see anything out of them especially since Alex's vision is like 2o/800.

Savannah and Aaron at the parade. Aren't they so cute?? :) They're perfect for eachother too! Don't worry... as you can see, my dad has keeps a close eye on them. ;)

This is called too much Easter candy!!!!!!

This is what we did a lot of time... play the Wii!! This was the first time I have played it before and it was so much fun!

I didn't know this picture was being taken... don't we look so entertained?

So this is what Savannah and Aaron did during conference and I caught it on camera for proof!

Overall, we had a GREAT Easter weekend! And I just realized that was me and Alex's first Easter together. Last year I was in Idaho at school. Well it was the best Easter we've had together! ;)

Scripture Reading

So in order to help me remember to read my scriptures every day I went to this website that emails you a chapter every day of whatever you want to read (BOM, Old Testament, New Testament, D&C, and they have some other church books). I chose the Book of Mormon since I already started reading that this year. You can actually choose if you want to finish it in 30 days, 60 days, etc., or if you just want to read one chapter a day. Of course I just chose the one chapter a day. So it sends you whatever chapter you're on to your email every day. It's pretty cool. The website is: readthescriptures.com. It's kind of different reading the scriptures from your email, but it still works. :)
