New News...

Well we're 22 weeks and counting! I've felt great this whole pregnancy. I have recently began to get dizzy and lightheaded but Dixie says it's normal and I'll probably feel this way my whole pregnancy so just take it easy. But its not too bad. I have gained over 15 pounds and have retired all my jeans for the next 4 months. I have now turned to a larger size of jeans and also bought a belly band-which I LOVE! My hair and nails are really growing too!

We had our 21 week observational ultrasound and little Jax is doin so good! We got a good picture of him yawning!!! He's so cute and loved already--I can't even imagine him being MORE loved when he gets here! He kept wigglin his little head when they were tryin to take a picture of his brain lol!

They said he is very open about his manhood lol! On this top right picture they wrote "I'm definitely a boy!"

He kicks SOOOO much! I feel little movements and him kicking all day long and then a few times a day (especially laying in bed at night) he moves and kicks big and makes big movements for about 10-15 min. It's starting to feel more like an elbow or knee moving across my belly rather than a twitch and it's so fun to play with him. There's times he pushes his body to the surface of my belly and I can see a bump and feel his butt or something and follow it along almost his whole body! Ty is scared to push on him so I'll push and then hurry and put his hand there so he can feel him make a big movement. He's finally starting to respond to my little flirts with him :) (Jaxton that is ha)

On another note, work is going well! I have finally gotten the hang of everything. I absolutely LOVE working for Christensen Dental Care and everyone I work with! I have definitely gotten faster and I think I'm doing a good job cleaning. I hope I continue to learn and grow from it all and become a great hygienist! Ty is doing well at work too. He is working super hard and will finally get a little break since they're hiring a new salesman at Jorgensen Chevrolet (which is much needed). But he still leaves a little energy to come home and put together our crib or dresser or work in the yard or farm for my dad. He is such a hard worker and I am sooo lucky to have him as my husband!

We talked in church this past week. It actually wasn't too bad. And we must of done well (or Ty did) because at least 3 people asked for a copy of his talk. We are working in the yard every night preparing for McCall and JD's wedding. The yard is looking really good and all the plans seem to be coming together.

And no we haven't found Cookie yet :( My friend found this other dog that looks like Cookie but wasn't and everyday you loose more hope of ever finding her. I just hope she's ok and know we all miss her! So my parents bought a new puppy that will hopefully fill the hole in their hearts for Cookie. I can tell already my parents are trying to make her just like Cookie by making her do some of the things Cookie does--like sit by my dad on his chair or come runnin when you open string cheese. But I know she will be well loved and already has her own cute little personality.

The day after we got her, my mom and I went out to the Chinese Restaurant in Richfield and guess what my mom's fortune was...
