The Beginning

In October Paul and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary and later that month decided it would be a good time to start trying to have a baby. But anyone who knows me knows I grew up such tomboy that I didn't take the time or the chances to learn how baby making is possible. I obviously got the idea, but when the best times to try are and so on, I had no idea. So I found a book here at the Cedar City D.I. that I bought to educate myself. Well, apparently I'm a fast learner because it didn't take long. I guess I'm what you call "fertile myrtle". At first I couldn't believe it, but 4 tests later, and I guess I had to.

So yesterday was my first appointment with the doctor. I'm seeing Dr. Gatherum here at Valley View Medical Center where Paul works. Paul has seen him around and said he is such a nice guy, and I agree. He was awesome yesterday. The highlight of the appointment was to hear the baby's heartbeat. It was amazing! If I feel like this after just the heartbeat, I can't imagine what the ultrasound and actually holding the baby will feel like. Paul had the biggest smile I've ever seen on his face! This morning I woke up to him mimmicking the sound of the heartbeat. He is going to be such and amazing dad!:)

Welp, that's all I have for now. I'll start working on my "to-do-in-the-next-6-months" list. Stay tuned....

Julia & ......Kaylene??

Paul and I recently watched the move "Julie & Julia" and we were inspired to start a blog. If you haven't seen the movie, this is how it goes: Julie is a hard working girl living in New York who hates her job. She decides to start a blog and cook her way through Julia Child's cookbook in order to add some interest to her life. She sets the deadline of 1 year to cook over 500 recipes and writes about her experiences in her blog. So... In August we will be having a baby and we thought it would be fun to start a blog about things we would like to do or goals to accomplish before the baby arrives. We are so excited to be parents, but we know that life will never be the same once we have a child. So this will be a good chance to do those things we've been talking about doing for the past two years of marriage that may be a little more difficult with a baby.

We will also include news and updates about us and the pregnancy of course. So we hope you visit us often and see what projects or goals we accomplish.
