OK, so I know that its been a while since I've blogged. Its not for a lack of things to blog about, We've been to the airshow, my sister and her family came into town, Etc.. Its just that the most exciting thing that has happened to us lately we've been keeping a secret, until yesterday that is. If you haven't guessed what the secret is yet, I'll just tell you.
WE'RE PREGNANT!
Can you believe it? its
ok, we can hardly believe it either. We found out the week after Mother's Day. I knew something was off when all i wanted to do was sleep, then the next Monday I was so sick at work i could barley stand. That night I told Jason I thought I might be pregnant. We bought a pee stick and of course it came out positive. So after thinking about it we decided not to tell anyone until Fathers Day a whole month away! It was so hard to keep this a secret. Especially when I wasn't feeling to great all the time. But It worked! Our families were so surprised. Jason and I took little
onesies and ironed on letters to break the news. We gave one to his Dad that said "
Grandpa's future Pilot" and one to my Dad that said "
Grandpa's future Fishing Buddy."
It was great! Jason's family was totally shocked and not expecting it at all! It took them a minute to realize what the shirt was telling them. But after they got it they were so excited. My family got it right off the bat. My dad said it was the best fathers day gift ever! Mine and Jason's extended families were thrilled to death for us. As for us, I think we have mixed emotions which mostly consists of excitement but also a little fear. We're just hoping that everything goes as smoothly as possible!
Heres the videos of our families finding out!
Last weekend I headed down to St. George with my parents. Jason couldn't come due to work, so we had to have all the fun without him. This trip was planned by my Grandma Quinn so most of the Quinn side was there. It was so much fun just swimming and being out in the sun with the fam. I thought I would write about some of the highlights.
Last Saturday Jason and I went camping with some good friends of ours Chuck and Melissa. They've been begging us to go for 2 years and we were finally able to make our schedules work to go.
Saturday at about 3:00 pm we headed up Payson Canyon, I was surprised to see all the wild life up there (the cows with the tags in their ears were beautiful.) I guess a lot of people like to go camping because every spot was taken. We kept driving up and up and up until I was positive we had made it to the top, which is exactly what happened. When we started to come down the Nephi side of the mountain I was afraid we wouldn't find any place to camp, then low and behold there was a spot! Now when I say spot what I mean is we found a meadow that was not far off the road. We walked back into the trees about 20 steps and found this nice open place. The ground was pretty soft and the cows had even left a some presents. I'm actually pretty sure the cows were laughing at us because i think we spent the night in their designated bathroom. We had to use a shovel to scoop out some of their belongings.
I hadn't been camping in a long time and there's little things you forget like toilet paper and that sleeping on a slant means your going to wake up in a ball at the bottom of the tent. There were new things that I learned too like if your pregnant your still going to have to pee every hour no matter if your in the woods or at home and that using a cooler to "lean" against while peeing in the middle of the night is a big help.
