20 Weeks....Halfway There!

Today marks 20 weeks! I can't believe how fast the last few weeks have gone by. And I have a feeling that the next 20 weeks are going to fly by in a blink of an eye.

We are getting so excited to meet this little guy. I told Shawn that we need to decide a name, or else this boy is going to think that his name is baby or "cletus" (I'll explain later).

we went baby shopping over the weekend and it was alot of fun! I told Shawn that he is going to regret us finding out what we are having cause I can't stop buying clothes! I'm buying all the winter stuff that is on clearence so he can fit into it next winter. I have saved so much doing it this way.

Here is a list of things that I don't want to forget about my first 20 weeks!

~I was pregnant when we were Sealed in the Temple, we just didn't know it yet.

~I knew I was having a boy the day I found out that we were having a baby.

~I NEVER had morning sickness, and didn't puke once!

~Hearing the heartbeat for the first time was AMAZING, and something that I will NEVER FORGET!

~I have delvoped a case of whatever is on my mind, you are going to hear about it, and it's actually kind of nice.

~We nicknamed the baby "Cletus the Fetus" early on, so we'd have something to called it.

I will add more to this list as I remember them.

19 Weeks

I'm such a slacker! I wish that I would have been keeping better updates about this pregnancy. So, I have to decided that from this point forward, I will be doing a weekly update, so I can look back and remember everything.

This week marks 19 weeks along. We had our ultrasound this week and found out that we are having a BOY!!!! and he WAS NOT SHY in anyway to let us know what he was. Seeing him on the screen was so amazing! I have slept so much better these last few nights know that everything is going great, and he is one healthy baby boy. Don't get me wrong, we'd be happy either way as long as the baby is healthy and strong. We just wanted a boy first because we both have older brothers, and we needed someone to carry on the Hunter name. I knew from day one that it was a boy. I just had a feeling, and nothing was going to change my mind about it.

This child is a VERY active little boy! he pretty much moves non-stop ALL DAY! But I guess that's a good thing that he is hyper all day, not all night. I love to watch his little kicks, and Shawn felt him for the first time this week! We are both very excited to meet this little guy.

As for me, I'm doing great! I feel great, and have lots of energy. My breakouts have finally decided to stop, and I have the "glow" now. It's getting harder to bend down and tie my shoes, which I know is only going to get wrose. But for right now, I can't complain about anything.

Now all we need to do is settle on a name and start getting the nursery ready!

Until next week!

The Big 3-0!!!

Today is Shawn's 30th birthday! We can't believe it. We are getting so old! It's weird to sit back and think of everything that we have gone through/done the past 6 years we have been together.

I just want to let Shawn know how proud I am of him, and everything that he has accomplished. He is a VERY goal driven person, and I amire that so much. we are counting down the months til he is done with school. It's so nice to finally have an end in sight.

I also can't wait to see him as a daddy. I know he'll be great. We have alot of changes that are going to be taking place in the next 6-12 months, and I'm so excited to share them with him.

So Happy Birthday to my best friend, the love of my love, but most of all my hubby!

Pitter Patter, Pitter Patter.....

I guess that I can finally let the cat out of the bag! We are so excited to say that we have a BABY ON BOARD!!!!! We are due 6/6/2011, so that puts us around 11 weeks. (A little bummed that I will have to miss the first half of the softball season, but I think it will be worth it). We heard the heartbeat this week, and let me tell you, what an amazing sound that was to hear. I have been worried that there was something wrong, but our Midwife said that EVERYTHING LOOKS AND SOUNDS GREAT!! So now we get to play the waiting game to find out what it is. I think we figured the first or second week in January is when we should now.

I have been VERY LUCKY and haven't had morning sickness or any weird cravings so far. And I hope I keep it that way. The only thing that has gotten to me, is lack of sleep, but I guess it's just getting me ready for the months to come.

I just thought that I would share the good news, since it has been awhile since I posted last. :) I will keep everyone updated how things go!

4 years already!

Well today is our 4 year Anniversary. I can't believe it's been 4 years. Time sure has flown by. We aren't doing anything special today either. In fact, we only saw eachother for 10 minutes this morning and thats all we get today due to work schedules. I was reflecting on the past 4 years and realized that we have only spent ONE anniversay together! and that was because I forced us to take a trip to Portland.

Here are a few things that we have done in the past 4 years:

~Bought a house.

~Remodled numerous things around the house.

~Shawn graduated from School with his BA.

~Shawn started graduate shcool.

~Bought a new car, that has better luck than our old one.

~Trying to start a family.

~Sealed in the Temple.

I'm so excited to spend the rest of eternity with Shawn. I can't wait to see what the near future holds for us!

Shawn, you are my best friend and the love of my life. I don't think I would ever make it without you!

For Time And All Eternity

September 18, 2010 will always be a special for Shawn & I. That was the day that we were sealed to each other for time and all eternity. I can't even explain what an amazing experience it was. We felt joy, peace, and the spirit the whole weekend.

A week leading up to the sealing, I was getting pretty nervous of the un-known. The night before, I slept for maybe 2 hours if that. I have no I idea what I was so worried about. It was not what I thought it was going to be at all. (in a good way)

The only thing that has been hard for me is, that my family has no idea. They don't agree with the LDS religion, so we thought it would be best to leave them out of it. I just wish that I could express how happy I am about it. Hopefully down the road in the future, their hearts will open and I can share this with them.

I'm so happy to know that Shawn & I are now an eternal family, and what joy that brings into our lives and marriage. I didn't that we could never be this strong together.


I'm hooked, I can't wait to go back to the Temple. Hopefully we can get alot of couples together and go on some Temple date nights!

P.S. will be posting some pictures soon!

An Amazing Day!

Yesterday was so amazing. Long, but amazing. It started with an 8:30am meeting with our Stake President for our Temple recommend. Then at 10am I had my Patriarchal Blessing, which was so awesome! Church from 11am-2pm which I spoke for the very first time is sacrement meeting. (Was so nervous, but had a very sprital expirerence). And to top in all off, a fire side at 5pm. I cannot believe how strong the spirit was with me all day. It felt great! I'm so excited to go to the Temple this weekend. I have finally gotten over being nervous about it. I'm excited that I will with Shawn for Eternity. I couldn't picture myself in this life without him. Needless to say, I have a VERY busy week ahead of me. I will keep you all posted on how everything goes :)
