Creative Title & 15 weeks

As you can I see I thought up the most creative title of all time for a blog post! I know I am hilarious! I wanted to post some more pictures of our first two ultra sounds, but with school and and a wedding this month has been too busy! I am hoping to stay more updated. As soon as I can scan the images I will post them.
    On Sunday (going by the latest ultra sound), or Tuesday (going by the first ultra sound) we are (or will be) 15 weeks along!! For the blog and for my personal sanity we are going to go by Sunday. It is much easier to keep track of, and I don't want to be too confusing. So we are 15 weeks and we get to find out what we are having on April 22!!! I am super excited! There are several theories out there as to what it might be, but most of my crazy baby dreams have been about boys! I don't know if that means anything, but we will see!!
   I still can't really believe I am pregnant. It has been an amazing experience so far and we are over joyed! Before we found out I found out I was pregnant the first time I was a little freaked out. ( I am freaked out this time, but that is a different story.) We had just gotten married and I wasn't sure if we were ready. When we finally did get the news that we were indeed pregnant I was so happy. All of the freaky stuff I was worried about went away. I was so excited to be a mom, and for Josh to be a dad. Unfortunately it wasn't really time for us and we lost our first baby. I think I went into a little depression mode, then I went into a "I need to have a baby now crazy lady mode,"then a ok Heavenly Father what is going on mode???, and then I went to a doctor. Basically nothing was really wrong with me. I was ovulating. I just had some weird cycles. So, I started focusing on other things. Josh started going to school I changed my major again and again. We got to know each other better. I stopped focusing on what I couldn't and didn't have and started focusing on the things in my life that I did have. Josh and I had a blast. We were having so much fun, in fact I started being okay with idea of not having kids. We have a bunch of super cute nieces and nephews.Maybe, we weren't meant to have the 14 kids we had planned on. I was happy with where we were, and where we were going.
   In October of '10 I went to a Doctor about my migraines. They had been getting really bad. So bad, that I would have one at least once a week. They did a bunch of blood work, and found out I was really low on Vitamin D. I started taking Vitamin D3 everyday.  Then I went to California for a month. I missed Josh dearly. It was the longest we had ever been away from each other. I came how around Dec 2.  It was Christmas time, and it was all holly and Jolly! One of my most favorite times of the year! This is where my little "It's a Christmas Miracle" quote comes in.  I say that a lot. If I find money somewhere...It's a Christmas Miracle, if something crazy happens...It's a Christmas Miracle. I don't know why I say it, or when I started saying it but I do. Flash forward to the week of my 26th Birthday! For my birthday we had our families up for a dinner on Sunday the 9th of January. The night before we had to go to WINCO and get some supplies. There just happens to be a Dollar Tree right next door. I knew I was a few days late on cycle so I asked Josh if we could get a pee stick. We were both pretty sure it was going to be negative, ( They always were) but they are only a buck each. 99.9%  of the time he always says no. It always seemed like a waste because they were always negative. This time though, for my birthday, he said yes. As soon as we got home I ran to the bathroom and tried it out. right away I knew it was negative. I told him and it was no big deal. 30 seconds later I started laughing hysterically and yelling that it was positive. He didn't believe me. He came running into the bathroom, saying "seriously??" I should him and told him it was! He had to check the box to make sure he was reading it right. Then we both started cracking up. We were like crazy people on laughing gas! For the second time in our married lives we were pregnant. We were super excited, but we were also terrified. We called it our Christmas Miracle because he/she was conceived right around Christmas time! We pray to Heavenly Father everyday and thank him for this blessing. We are beyond grateful and take nothing for granted.
