Valentine's day surprise!


I found out on Valentines day that I was pregnant. I started filming Daniel on my phone and told him I was going to take a picture of Bright.  As you can tell we were pretty shocked! We were "trying" but still shocked. I found out like an hour before I was going to meet up with Daniel for dinner. I was pretty excited to surprise him! I went to Target and found this card. On it, it read Daddy I have a special surprise for you inside this card. So inside the card was another little card and in it I wrote " Big Brother 2011".

Daniel has been bugging me and bugging me to make a post that I was pregnant. But truth is after that Valentines week I was SO SICK I didn't want to do anything. It was hard for me to get excited about it cause I was so sick. Don't get me wrong I was so excited I just didn't have energy to do anything but lay in bed and throw up. I laid in bed and made Brighton watch Cars about 1000 times for about 3 weeks. I lost 10 pounds in about 2 weeks. I couldn't keep anything down or eat. My doctor almost put me on IV's but then I stopped loosing. I wasn't gaining but she said that was okay. I was put on medication and it didn't help. And all in this time when I needed Daniel the MOST! He was only to be found at work. He was sooo busy. The timing couldn't have been worse. Thankfully I have an awesome ward and awesome visiting teacher that checked in on me and set up play dates everyday for someone to come pick Brighton up. I didn't really start feeling better until week 16~17 and I am still throwing up like once a week. It was so hard with Brighton and I felt so bad throwing him in front of a T.V. and not cooking for him cause I couldn't handle the smells. I didn't know what else to do and some how we survived. I am now 19 weeks.

We had our ultra sound last week and found out we are having BOY #2! I couldn't be happier. I have had so much fun with Brighton I just know I am going LOVE having 2 boys. Plus this one is going to be born around the same time of year and B so I can reuse all of his clothes!! Daniel thought for sure I was having a girl because of how much sicker I have been than I was with Bright but I just always got the boy vibes.

Can you believe I almost half way done! My due date is October 20th. :)

Oh Stephanie! I'm so happy for you! Brighton is so adorable so I am excited to see this new baby boy when he comes. You're already halfway done!! I hope you are feeling better. My doctor prescribed me Zofran for all the nausea I was having. I still feel sick sometimes, so I take half a pill when I need it. Ask your doctor about it if you are still sick. Hope you're doing ok. We should get together soon! :)
