what to expect??

So about my appointment yesterday.... It was SO awesome! Much much much better than I would ever expect! My doctor is the nicest person I have ever met. She was so sweet and so funny. Something so important, because let's face it, this woman is all up in your business! Her office is in the new IMC in Murray, and they have this whole women & newborn center, another plus. That place is SO nice, i'm actually excited to deliver my baby there! We got to hear the heartbeat and actually see the little bug. It was so cool and Jon looked like a kid in a candy store! The babies heart was racing, it was at 170! I measured 12 weeks exactly and she moved my due date to Nov. 3rd. However she told me not to get to comfortable with the idea of a November baby because she wasn't going to let me go to term because i'm so small and that I should plan on having a little pumpkin baby. Works for me :). She asked about my hyperemesis and actually wrote me another prescription. It's for reglan and I haven't tried that, so HOPEFULLY it works! So sick, but yesterday when I was driving I couldn't even make it over to the side of the road in time and just threw up all over myself. It was awful! But kinda funny too. Haha!

After the exam and ultrasound and all that we were talking and I told her I had been reading What to Expect when You're Expecting. She looked at me and said, please throw that away! I was so shocked! She told me that it was one of the worst books a low risk first time mother could read because all it does is tell you what could go wrong. This actually made me feel so much better because I have been a total stress case about this pregnancy, i've been worrying way to much about what could go wrong. I swear all I do is ask Jon to give me a blessing like everyday! It was really comforting to hear that I wasn't crazy and that everything with this pregnancy is totally normal. All in all, it was one of my favorite experiences. It all feels so much more real now, I keep just thinking about this little bug inside me.

Sunny St.George

So i've been chilling here in St.George. I came down to work for my mom,

seeing as working a "real" job has been impossible because of my "morning sickness".

Can I just say that I am SO SICK OF BEING SICK! I can NOT remember the last time

I went more than a couple hours without throwing up. Zofran even stopped working,

I can't even keep it down. I got some sea bands and have been wearing those around

for a couple weeks. Yeah, I know I look SUPER COOL (they just look like 80's sweatbands).

They seem to help though.St.George has been wonderful though, it's been nice to just hang

out with my mom and sisters. I've also gone to Desert Hills Highschool Cheer practices,

Cassidy has an amazing squad!! I'm so excited for her. Jocelyn was there on wednesday

night too, so it's been so fun to see people I haven't seen for so long.

They both look amazing!!

On another note, I have a doctors appointment on monday. We get to hear the babies

heartbeat and have our first ultrasound. I'm already in my fourth month, so I guess i'm a little

behind on all this but we really wanted to get in with this doctor and she wasn't accepting

new patients. So we're just super lucky we get to see her at all!

I feel like i'm going to be doing quite a bit of commuting between St.George and Salt Lake,

but it's not a bad drive. I could do it with my eyes closed. The hardest part is

being without Jon for so long. He has been SO wonderful lately, gets me breakfast in bed

(just so I can throw it up later) but it really helps. He rubs my back, plays with my hair,

and has just been so sweet. I miss him alot, and it's funny how he has even resorted to

letting Hobbes sleep with him on our bed while i'm gone. He must REALLY miss me,

he usually doesn't even let Hobbes in our room.

Sorry this is super long, so i'll end it now. If anyone is in St.George call or come by Brushfire, i'd love to get together :).

Look what I found

So I have passed these places for the past nearly 2 years without much thought. Really, they just looked nasty ghetto to me. On Saturday I went with my mother in law to run some errands and we ended up here. They have the best produce! Reminds me almost of being at Farmers Market in Santa Cruz (too bad it's still snowing up here, so who knows when that will start). We left with

2 pineapples

several grapefruits

10 apples

4 pears

several oranges

2 mangoes

2 bundles of asparagus

and 1 1/2 CASES of fresh strawberries

All this was under $30! I was amazed, at my usual harmons I wouldn't even start to guess what that would have cost. I don't really know where they are, maybe just up here in the Salt Lake valley. If you can, do go. I highly recommend! I was so happy to fill up on produce, for some reason citrus fruits help my "morning" sickness SO much. Typically on days I have a grapefruit or orange, I do not throw up after eating one. So weird. Also we're not just obsessed with strawberries, they we're on sale so in between conferences Jon's mom taught us how to make her strawberry jam. I would NEVER even think of attempting this, but it was so easy. Jon is super picky and will only eat his mom's (or grandma's) strawberry jam. I think we're good for about another year :). I also made some yummy fresh squeezed strawberry lemonade to go with last nights dinner. This coming from the girl who gets confused making toast. Watch out Martha!
