First Pics of the Baby

Ultrasound pictures aren't the best quality but I still think they are amazing. Even though the baby doesn't look like much I think it's just beautiful. It's always a such wonder to see your baby for the very first time. To actually know for sure that you are pregnant...proof in front of your eyes. Everything so far is fine and normal. The baby is just under 2 inches long and seems to have all the right parts. Speaking of parts, my doctor is going to give me an ultrasound next appointment in 4 weeks and tell me if it's a boy or a girl. I don't have to wait until the 20 week ultrasound! Yay! That was a very nice surprise. I have the same doctor as with my first two children and he never did this with either one of them so I'm excited. I'm 11 1/2 weeks along so I'm almost out of the first trimester. I've been the most sick this time out of all the others. It is lessening now and hopefully will go away entirely. The perk is that I've lost 5 pounds but I'm sure to gain those back later. Blake still has no idea what is going on but Jayla seems to be grasping it. She always talks to the baby and pats my stomach. One time she jumped on me a little too hard and I told her that when she does that she could hurt the baby so she needs to be careful. Then she said, "I'm sorry baby," and gave my stomach a kiss. So cute.

Bear Lake Fun

We made our anual trip to Bear Lake and had so much fun with the fam earlier this month. It was a perfect day to go. It was hot enough that you didn't freeze after swimming but not too hot. I love Bear Lake and will never tire of it. I love when you swim out into the water it's so blue, the water is clear, and you just take a deep breath and enjoy. Jayla an Blake had a blast! They could have played in the sand the whole day. I love Blake's cute little sandy feet.

Jayla sat in the sand for such a long time. She looks a little uncomfortable now. Hee hee.

Jayla had been waiting the whole summer to build a sandcastle.

Blake wanted to eat cookies more than anything else. Don't you just love this face!?

Jayla is in heaven.
