It all started back at the end of October/ early November when I was for sure I had caught the flu, but after weeks and weeks of not feeling good, and wondering why kyler was never catching this awful sickeness... It dawned on me and that's when I took not one.. Not two... But three pregnancy test (just to be sure;) and we were three for three.
So that was exciting and surprising! We had actually been trying for a year so this was so fun to finally be pregnant. At about 5-6 weeks on a Tuesday morning we woke up at our usual 5:00am to work in the Logan temple and while at the temple I started to bleed.. And yes I panicked. Nobody has known of the pregnancy except me and kyler and we were both so new at this I had no idea what my body was doing. After our temple shift I called my doctor (who we hadn't even been in to see yet) and she told me it was to early to hear a heart beat but I could come in and take some blood tests to see if my HCG had gone up. So that was an adventure waiting those three days for results not knowing if we had miscarried or not. We ended up getting a call back and everything was just fine! Hooray! So on December 10th we had our first appointed with our wonderful Doctor Kristin Craig who immediately found our little bean on the ultrasound and hearing the heartbeat was so emotional for both me and Ky, a moment I will never forget. So now... Fast forward to Christmas Day...
We had spent the Christmas Eve at my parents house and let's just say I didn't sleep very well.. The excitement of telling our families was just better than the actual Christmas:) we woke up and waited till all the gifts had been open.. Then pulled out the gifts we had made. You should have seen the look on my mom, dad, grandma and siblings faces. It was priceless and many many tears came from everybody. Then we hurried and go to Kyler's parents for breakfast and did the exact same thing. Waited till all the gifts had been opened... And saved the very best gift for last:) the reaction the exact same! Needless to say it was the best Christmas ever:) me and Kyler ended up making Christmas ornaments with the ultrasound picture inside the ornament so our parents can always have it to hang on the tree. I should also mention this is the first grandchild on both sides so that makes its even more exciting:)
And how we announced to everyone else..
This Christmas was the best one yet but I have a feeling next year will be even better with a little one to have around!
