Amanda got an ultrasound on Monday the 8th and we found out that Amanda's intuition was correct and Becks is a boy. I wasn't quite as connected as Amanda I guess. I originally thought it was a girl, then Amanda convinced me it was a boy, then on Saturday or Sunday night I had a dream that I was holding a girl.
I think overall I'm happy to have a boy first. He can protect and look out for his younger sister (one day). I will be able to have fun teaching him sports, video games, do sweet hairstyles like a mullet or fauxhawk, or some colors like when I was a younger, and how to be a man. (ok, full size adult child is more like it). I hope I can be half the father that mine has been to me. I hope I can teach Becks a few things about life and be there for him.
here is some Pict's of him.

I got this in an email from my brother, and I know you will enjoy.
Do you ever feel like you're in a soap opera because everything seems to be going wrong or changing at the same time?
Well, my life continues to keep changing. For those of you who have a good eye, you may have noticed I deleted the countdown till I'm done with nursing school. Well, because of a few miscommunications and an on going battle, I am not returning to nursing school this semester. I guess I had to take a math class, but this was not communicated well. I don't know if I'll even be able to get back into the U of U/SLCC nursing program (one of the on going battles). So now I am taking the math class (we've learned about decimals, fractions, and percents so far - hard huh?), a nutrition class, modern dance, and a physiology lab (I've already taken the lecture, but I guess I have to have a lab for SLCC). So I'm busy with school this semester.
My next change is that I am changing jobs. I have been missing patient care a lot and since I'm not going to nursing school, I wanted to work full time. My current position will not allow me to go back to full time, so I talked to my old boss. I will be going back to being a Medical Assistant starting Sept. 2. Instead of working at the Madsen clinic where I did before, I will be working at the Sugarhouse clinic. It's about 5 miles closer to my house than Madsen, and I have a good friend there. I will miss not being at Madsen though because I already know how things work around there and I miss the people. I am just glad I could go back to patient care and full time work.
So other than that there are no other major changes. The baby continues to grow and we will be getting an ultrasound Sept. 8th to find out if it's a boy or girl . My morning sickness has finally decreased to the point where I can say it's almost gone (I still have problems maybe once or twice a week). And other than a cold I have been well. I do have the "pregnancy brain" so I forget a lot of things, so if I forget something that you are involved in, I'M SORRY! I really am trying to remember every thing.
Amanda was flipping through the channels last week and found "The Puppy Olympics" on animal planet. It was kind of a silly show with puppy's running around doing things, but Jewsbury loved it.
(PS. for anyone that has been to our house, you may notice that we painted and got baseboards up. Jeremy has been working hard around the house!)
This morning started nice and early with our dog, Jewsbury, and Jeremy's brother's dog, Roxy, fighting (aka playing) on our bed around 3 or 4 AM. Luckily I was able to go back to sleep just in time for my alarm to go off at 6AM. I had a training scheduled for this morning so I had to go in. I'll spare you the details, but just mention that I was also having my usual morning sickness.
Everything was ok until I was rounding the corner of I-215 by the 6200 S. exit. All of the sudden I hear a little pop and thud, thud, thud, thud. So I pull over to the shoulder, get out of my car, and discover that my passenger side rear wheel was totally shredded. (at least it was the passenger side so it was closer to the wall and further from traffic). I then start making phone calls to Jeremy to save me and try to get another one of the trainers to cover for me until I can get in. Jeremy said that he would cancel his physical therapy appointment (even though he was already there) and come save me. I got a hold of Heather to cover my training so I was lucky there too.
Jeremy was there before I knew it and started working on getting my spare on. As he was doing that, and I was watching, a highway patrol officer came up to see what was going on. When Jeremy saw him he told the officer that he is also an officer and is armed. The officer then said "That's good because I have a head start on you." I then said that I should get out of the middle of them and then the officer said that he doesn't ever leave witnesses. We all got a little giggle out of that one.
After all of that was done I started driving off and got a call on my cell phone. It was my best friend Laura. She had apparently just driven past me and had to call and check on me. I told her that it was ok and got to smile cuz she saw me.
I got to work as fast as I could to get to the training. By the time I got there I was only like 10 minutes late. I then see my boss, Lori, and Heather walking down the hall. Apparently Lori had scheduled the training for the wrong Monday, it's not until next Monday.
So after getting woken up by fighting dogs, having morning sickness, a tire blow out, having my life threatened by an officer and getting told I wasn't really supposed to be training today I think I have had my fill and am now ready to go back home for a nap. Oh, and did I mention that all of this happened before 8:30? This week isn't starting off well, hopefully it will get better!
I'm going to sleep. Don't wake me until Tuesday night :)
Amanda got her first ultrasound on thursday July 3rd. We found out that Becks is doing good. It is about 1 inch long with a heart beat of 171 per minute. Amandas expected due date is February 1st. If Becks comes on the 30th Becks will share a birthday with our nephew Josh. If Becks comes on the 2nd we have joking said we will name it Phil or Phyllis after Puxatony Phil the groundhog (since that is groundhogs day).
We were #5 out of everybody to pick our new seats for the new stadium. We chose Section 11 Row 1 Seats 12 and 13 :) this is me looking all official. They let us as Loyalists take a tour, fed us Cafe Rio and Fiji water, and let us be the frist to pick our seats. Ps the new stadium is amazing.
