Baby Time!!

On election day, November 6, was the day I found out I was pregnant.  We had decided about 2 months before that that we were ready to start our family after much prayer and thought.  It seemed like the easiest "Yes".  I was on my lunch break and at home and took a pregnancy test and called Marcus freaking out, we both were so excited and I asked Marcus okay what do we do next?? He replied take two more tests. haha.  I did and of course they were all positive too.  I then called my mom.  We both were so excited.  It was such an amazing day, I should have waited and surprised Marcus with some fancy or cute and creative idea, but the fact that we were going to be parents was just too much for me to hold in! Our baby is due July 16.  We already have a couple names set aside, I think it will be a boy and Marcus thinks a girl.  We find out the gender in 2 weeks.  Unfortunately I have been very sick.  I throw up each day and have been since six weeks. It's been rough working full time, but I just go straight to bed after work and Marcus cleans, cooks, grocery shops, I even tell him what make up to go buy me.  I have had to lean to him for everything.  BYU football just started their work outs and Marcus has to go work out each day at 6AM.  He goes and works out, goes to all his classes(which are all pre-med and extremely hard this semester), goes running with the team, and then comes home and takes care of me.  What a guy.  I never knew I would be this sick, I even had to go get an IV in my arm 2 days ago to get some fluids in me.  Marcus has given me numerous blessings and each one says the same beautiful thing, "Heavenly father is so proud of you, and you will forget all about this sickness when it subsides".  Being this sick has made me so thankful for the healthy body I have.  I never get sick, I'm very healthy and not being able to do the things I want, or taking care of others has been rough... but this is so worth it.  We can not wait for our little baby!  I feel so blessed I was able to get pregnant so quickly.  Here are some pictures from how we announced it, and from the first ultrasound.  PS the doctor I'm using Dr. Judd, he delivered my entire family and when I went to the first visit I asked if he remembered my mom Pam and he said, "Oh yeah and your mom plays tennis and your parents live over by Timpanogos High School, and your dad played football at BYU too.  I can not believe the memory my doctor has! I'm sold on him already! I can't believe the extreme love we already have for this baby.  We constantly talk about him/her and what they will look like, and what their personality will be like.  SO HAPPY! (And Dr. Judd said the sickness should subside by around week 18 hopefully.  I'm already 14 weeks so hopefully it's gone soon! If not, bring it on. )
