So I had some hormone levels drawn the other day to make sure things are going well. It looks as though the original dates of how far along I am are about 2 weeks off. So it's kinda sad to think I was about 7 1/2 weeks, but now it's looking more like 5. Of course this is not official that I that far along - I haven't heard it from a doctor yet. So I guess this pregnancy will be a little longer than I was planning. Jeremy might actually get a baby for his birthday! I'm not going to change the countdown until I get the official word from the doc, cuz I don't want the picture to be ugly for another few weeks. (sorry if anyone doesn't like me saying the "parasite" is ugly)


For those of you who don't know Jewsbury is our puppy. We named him after Jack Jewsbury a soccer player for the Kansas City Wizards. While watching soccer, Amanda heard the announcer keep saying his name and asked me if we could name our first child Jewsbury. I didn't care so much for a child being named Jewsbury, but I think it is fitting for our puppy. Our Jewsbury loves playing with his toy soccer balls and even plays a little footie with his front paws. This Saturday RSL will be playing the Wizards so Amanda and I have made a poster to commemorate the occasion. So at Saturdays game I will hang this poster on the railing in front of our front row seats :)

The Big News



Despite the surprise when I found out the big news, I was and still am very excited. I think this new addition to our family will be good. Here is a picture of the first test Amanda took.

For those of you who know my sister and brother in law (Nicole and Steve Larsen), they name their developing babies names. Before we got married Amanda was warned that if we didn't have a name for the baby Steve would come up with one (scary!!!) So while we were waiting at the hospital we decided on the name Becks or Beck. We thought this to be a good neutral name for a boy or a girl. For a boy it could be for Beckerman and Beckham (soccer players), or if it is a girl it could be for Becky. So yesterday little Becks turned 7 weeks old HOLY COW!

Baby

So for those who have not already heard or guessed by the countdown, Jeremy and I are expecting a baby. The due date is January 18th or 19th depending on which one you look at.

For the story now: Thursday I was not feeling the greatest with a low-grade fever and body aches. I left work early and decided to stop off at the allergist office to get my shot. One of the girls asked me if I was pregnant, and I said I didn't think so. But that got me thinking so when I got home I took a test and lo and behold, I'm pregnant. I went out to the kitchen were Jeremy was and told him that I have some potentially good or bad news. He got the most shocked look on his face. We decided that we would get a couple more tests to confirm - "out of the mouth of two or three witnesses" right? And the turkey timer says i'm cookin. We called our families and told them the good news

The rest of the night I was battling a fever. Since I knew I was pregnant I knew I could only take Tylenol and couldn't do much else. Once my fever hit 100.5 I told Jeremy to take me to the hospital (102 and it's REALLY not good for the baby). I told him to take me to Jordan Valley Hospital - even though I had heard bad stories, I was despirate. As they were checking me in they discovered that my temp was 101.3 or so. That got me more worried. After some fun experiences of creepy guys, telling the nurse what meds pregnant ladies aren't supposed to take, and a guy runny down the hall screaming "JOHN!" we finally got some answers - they confirmed I'm pregnant and that I had a virus. They said that I was also dehydrated so I'm working on that. I did get feeling a little better that night. We got to the hospital around 10PM and left around 2:30AM. Wow what a night.

I stayed home the rest of Friday so I could get some sleep. The rest of the weekend was spent trying to keep hydrated (which is more difficult than it sounds). To do that i've been drinking an average of over 4 liters (crazy huh?). If I start getting in the least bit close to being dehyrated I start getting sick. Other than that I think I have been pretty symptom free.

I think Jeremy and I getting more and more excited for this little surprise.
