Home Owners?????

Ty and I are currently renting an apartment in Farmington. Because he just started a new job in July that is a commission paying job, we didn't think we would be able to buy a house for 2 more years. I was fine with staying in our apartment and accepted the fact that it would be a couple more years before we would get a home of our own. In probably the first week of November, Ty told me that we would be able to qualify for a loan and asked if I would be interested in starting a search for a house. For some reason, initially, I had zero interest in searching!! But obviously the idea of it wore off on me really quick! The next day, he text me and said "What do you think about buying a house in Stansbury Park?" Uhhhh.....I said "Do you have any idea where that is and how far away it is??" He told me that he had mapquested it and it was the exact same distance from Stansbury Park to his office as it is from Farmington to his office. After about a day, I warmed up to the idea and we just started looking at some homes online. The next week we went and looked at 4 houses. There was one we hadn't seen online but our realtor saw it and wanted to show it to us. It was the 2nd house we looked at. The first one we looked at was okay and I could picture us in it but I didn't love it. But I immediately fell in love with the 2nd home. I looked in 2 rooms and said "I love it." I really loved pretty much every single thing about the home and liked the feel of the neighborhood. We made an offer on the house the next day and then a day later we were under contract! We are scheduled to close on December 8th and planing on moving on December 10th! I'm so excited to have a home and to be able to paint/ decorate our baby's room however we want to! I don't have pictures, but will post some soon!

Oh baby!!!!!

I thought I would write about our little bun in the oven :).......

Ty and I decided to start trying to get pregnant in October of 2009. After about six months, I started getting really anxious about it and all the emotions began. At times I was sad, sometimes I'd be mad. I just kept thinking there are so many people in the world that don't want babies that are getting pregnant and there are so many people in the world that would be great parents and I don't understand why they can't have babies. Obviously, at the time, I couldn't just accept that it wasn't the right time for us to have a baby yet and when Heavenly Father felt we were ready, he would bless us with a baby.



In April of 2011, my doctor decided to run some tests and determined that along with not having a regular cycle (sorry if TMI), I was not ovulating either. So she prescribed me Provera and Clomid. She said that if I wasn't pregnant afer 6 months, that she would have to send me to a fertility clinic and I could explore some other options. The first month of taking Provera and Clomid was quite the roller coaster!! My poor husband!!! I think (or hope) I wasn't mean....but I sure was emotional! I swear I developed a severe separation anxiety and I was ALWAYS worried. Those of you that know me, know I'm constantly worrying anyway. I would cry all the time!!! Ty had to go out of town for I think it was just a night or two and my poor mom and sister-in law, Amanda! They had to occupy every waking moment I had away from him!



May came, negative pregnancy test. June came, negative pregnancy test. I had seen dozens of negative pregnancy tests by this point! July 25th came and it was the day I was supposed to call my doctor and get my next months dose of drugs if I wasn't pregnant. I was just sure I wasn't pregnant because I didn't feel any different and my ovulation tests that month were all negative. But I figured I better just take the test anyway so I can call the doctor. I took the test, set it on the counter and went about washing my hands. As I went to walk out of the bathroom, I glanced at the test and saw a SECOND LINE appearing......WHAT THE HECK?! Obviously I've NEVER seen a second line!!



Ty had walked out the door just 5 minutes ago for work...so I'm sure he was thinking I was a weirdo when I called him. I think this is what I said..."BABE!!! I just took a pregnancy test and there are two lines!!!!!!! He said "YOU'RE PREGNANT?!" I said "I don't know! I think so! I've never seen two lines! I think that's what it means!!!" Ty said "We're having a baby!!" I immediately took another one and it also had two lines! I think I then called my sister in law, Amanda and she screamed! Then I called my mom and then my best friend Bridget. I just couldn't believe I could possibly be pregnant! So of course I had to take a total of 4 tests just to make sure! Well, the rest is history :)


I'm 22 weeks pregnant and my due date is April 2nd! I'm so so so grateful that Heavenly Father has given us the opportunity to be parents and I can already feel her sweet spirit and I love her so much. It just makes me cry when I think about being a mommy and holding our sweet little angel in my arms. The pregnancy is going well and mommy and baby are healthy!!
