3D Ultrasound of Madison

Here's our little Madie at 19 weeks, who do you think she looks like?!!!JD and I went to our Dr. appointment on Wednesday and our mid wife said everything is going well! She measured Madison's feet and they are just over an inch long! After all the measuring my due date is still June 16th! We're excited for next month cause we'll get our targeted ultrasound.

Pregnancy Update

I'm 18 weeks along now and on Tuesday I felt Madie for the first time!!!!! I was sitting in my Parenting class and all of sudden she kicked me hard right in the middle of my stomach! I was so excited! I feel her a lot now and can't wait for JD to get to feel her too! I can't wait to meet her!

For Sale...

We have really enjoyed this car... but it's time to be more practical. We're gonna sell her and get an SUV.It's a 1993 Mitsubishi 3000 GT with 90K miles on it. We're asking for $5,000 or best offer. If you know of anyone who is looking for a car please show them ours!!!

Christmas time was sure fun!

I didn't end up taking as many pictures as I'd hoped. J.D. got me a telephoto lens and I couldn't wait to use it but we were mostly inside. Christmas day was SO beautiful in Arbon with the snow on the trees, but I forgot my camera in Pocatello and didn't get to take any pics of it. :( I got some fun ones of Christmas morning with the Oborn side though! Here they are:

Lucy was not happy to be up at 5am! She snuggled right up to J.D. and didn't want anyone to talk to her!!! It was pretty cute!

Lucy have me a mean look when I took this!! But it's dang cute!

This is Cody R and the newest member of the family Julia! She is six months old which is how old Madison will be next Christmas! It was fun to look at her and think about how next year will be different for us!

This is Jessie and Kevin. Kevin didn't wake up too well either!! He threw up a little and then fell asleep on Cody for the rest of the morning!

This is Terri (my mother-in-law)!!!! We were play Quelf and she had to wear this till she drew a green card. It was hilarious. Tessa had to snort every time she laughed so we'd all laugh at Terri, then Tessa would have to snort and we'd all laugh at her!! It was a never ending cycle!

Here is the profile! We loved that her nose stuck out!

J.D. had to create jewelry with something other than jewelry so her created this high-chair necklace!!!! Tessa is tucking in her shirt getting ready to go grab as many objects around the house and stuff them in her shirt!!!

We had a blast!! The best was getting to be with family. It was sure great to talk with Tyrel who is in Ukraine also. We got to talk with him for three hours.

I wish I had some pictures of my family playing the Wii! My Mom and Dad were super funny to watch play tennis; we were worried Dad would knock over the tree and that my Mom was going to twist her back!!! :) Oh, fun times! Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

We're having a.....

GIRL!!!!

Hurray, we are so excited!!

Her name will be Madison Rose and we'll call her Madie for short!

While we were waiting in the doctor's office yesterday I asked JD what he thought it was (I've asked him before and he wouldn't answer me). He said "I think it's Madison Rose." Sure enough the doc is 85% sure that it is a girl! I've been thinking it was a girl for awhile and it was fun that both JD and I thought we'd be having a girl!! The Dr. also said that she has long legs!!!!! Where would she get that from?!

We're very excited and can't wait to meet her!!!

What do you think it will be?

I realized that it has been awhile since I last updated everyone on how our little one is developing. I went to the doctor two weeks ago and she said everything is looking great. I even got to see its little hands and feet moving around! But the best part of all is that we should find out what gender our baby is the next time we go in!!!!!!! Our next appointment is on the 23rd, so if all goes right we should know before Christmas!!!!! I'll be starting my second trimester next week and happily this means that my nausea has started to disappear!!! Hurray!

I want to know what everyone thinks we're going to have, so leave a comment of what your guess is and we'll see who is right when the 23rd gets here!!

JD and I have been very busy. JD has work and church responsibilities that keep him busy. I've been busy as well, not only am I working full time but I was in charge of getting the crafts for our Super Saturday put together, and now I have some orders for plaques that need to done before Christmas, not to mention I haven't even started Christmas shopping. Even though we are very busy, we are very happy!

Blessings come to those who serve!

I realized it has been a VERY long time since I have written. We have been very busy.

JD is busy with work and with his church calling. We have been blessed through his calling though. We are lucky to be home teaching partners and last week we went and visited some families. It was such an amazing feeling to go and visit some of those who are in need in our ward. One cute old widow (widow for 30 yrs) said to us, "Thanks for coming, it is so nice to hear a human voice." She has a cat and she said she was beginning to Meow. Our goal now is to go visit at least two people ever Thursday night!

I'm very busy with work, I feel like I'm always at the Family Support Center, which means I don't get anything done at home that I want/need to. And to make things worse our dishwasher broke so that adds to my work. The pregnancy is going well; we're 11 weeks tomorrow and we go to our second Dr. apt tomorrow. I'm experiencing many of the pregnancy symptoms and not really enjoying it! JD is tired of hearing me complain about the changes that are happening in my body.

We are very grateful for all the Lord has blessed us with! I'll update ultrasound pics tomorrow.

Halloween & Update!....Must see!

Here is a picture of one of our Halloween costumes!!! We wore this to our Families Halloween party. And Yes it is an AnNounCeMent! This is how we told our Family! In case you can't tell, I'm an oven with a bun in it and JD is The Bun Maker! :)

Here is a picture of our Ultra Sound! We are almost 8 weeks along and our due date is June 16th! We're pretty excited!
This was our other costume for the ward Halloween Party. We were Hanz and Franzine, I don't have a picture of what I looked like yet, but this is what JD looked like! He got quite the laughs!

This is my friend Andrea and her two little boys, they looked So cute! Her kids are cuties; I get to help her with them on the Sundays when her husband is at work! I enjoy it very much!

I thought this was SO clever! I loved your costumes Lindsay!
