Logan Trip

So, Brian and I drove down to Utah on the 18th to visit the family and to go to the memorial service of my Grandmother Wood on the 20th.

Josh, Tiffany and Logan DeWitt
When we got there we dropped by Mom and Dads house to visit with them and my sister, but shortly after that we went to sleep. On Friday, we went to lunch at the Olive Garden, which was delicious. Brian and I went to my best friend Krissi's house and watched her son Devin for an hour while she went to a job interview. He pretty much slept the entire time and right when his Mommy came home he had a poopy diaper (good timing)! We went to dinner at the Iron Gate Grill which was scrumptious.

Dustin, Chelece, Peyton and Katelyn Wood
Afterwards, we went to Dustin and Chelece's house to practice the song we were going to sing for the memorial service. I got to hold baby Katelyn for a little bit, and the song was beautiful. The memorial service took place at the Presbyterian church. My mom, my Uncle James and my Grandpa Wood spoke. It was a beautiful service.

These two pictures are also the best out of the bunch.

On Sunday, we have Christmas in October, which oddly enough was my brother's idea. On a side note, the picture above was all of the kids on "Christmas," there was 5 pictures taken on my camera and none of them were absolutely perfect! Besides Chelece looking away, this was the closest. Anyways, my Mom's theme for Christmas this year, was "S's" everything started with an "s." We had Sandwiches, strawberries, smoked ham and chicken, salad, Sunkist, sun chips, salami, "seasonal napkins" and the tablecloths, cups and plastic ware were in Sunflower yellow. She's definitely a silly lady. On Monday we just saw some friends and we drove back Tuesday. My Parents are coming down on Friday, the 26th to hang out with Brian and I! I can't wait until then!

It's a Girl!!

The ultrasound appointment went really well. The lady that did it had been doing it for 17 years!! I was totally comfortable and it was absolutely amazing watching the baby. She was moving like CRAZY! She did not want that thing touching her. The lady said that the baby is doing great, she can't see anything wrong and the heart rate was 142 which is right in between average. I have been really scared about the birth until today. After seeing the baby and feeling her move all over the place, I'm more excited than ever! I cannot wait until delivery now because I want to hold her and love her and kiss her all the time! Brian and I are throwing out the name Akasha. We believe it will be the one, as long as we find an amazing middle name to go with. After looking at the pictures, I certainly hope she's not a thumb sucker like her Mommy, she seems to be putting her hand up to her face in two of the pictures (uh-oh!) Anyways, I'm due February 10, almost 22 weeks along!

First Appointment

Today was my very first appointment at the Women Care Clinic. I actually wasn't nervous going into the center as I thought I would be (I'm sure Mom remembers my wisdom teeth, cried before I even got in the room). After I filled out paperwork for a half an hour and waited a little bit, I was called in there. The lady was so nice and made me feel really comfortable. She's the midwives nurse, but is also a Doula on the side. She doesn't do it very often but if insurance covers it or if we can afford it, I would love it if she's my Doula. She was so amazing and made me feel 100% comfortable. Brian will tell you I told you so, because he told me I would feel way more comfortable with a midwife than a regular doctor, and well he's totally right (but don't tell him I said that). They drew my blood, very first time of experiencing that and it actually wasn't even close to as bad as I thought it was going to be. I didn't watch and Brian held my hand the whole time. I also got to hear the heart beat which was totally cool because every time she would put the thingy on my belly, the baby would move really fast and I could feel it. It was awesome!! My ultrasound appointment is Tuesday, October 2. I can't wait!!

First Blog

I figured I'd better get one of these things so my family can see pictures of me and my boyfriend Brian because we live 800 miles (give or take) away!! Plus, since I'm having a baby and they won't get to see him/her every single day I will take a plethora of pictures and post them so it's like they will see him/her every single day! I'm really excited about being a mom and having a baby with my boyfriend Brian, he has taught me so much already and I'm really excited to learn more. He is the oldest of 3 kids and has lots of little cousins. I, on the other hand am the youngest of 3 kids and haven't really had much experience with any babies or children. I will have my very first appointment this Thursday the 27th and will be giving everyone a full report of the newest addition to our little family.
