We are Pregnant!

Denver and I found out we were expecting way back in December right around my birthday. It took us a while to find out whether or not we were pregnant but to put it in a nut shell, we got a blood test and an ultrasound that said, with hard evidence we were. We were so excited! We found out just in the nick of time before my parents came up to bring a load of our stuff down to Thatcher. They got there early one evening and I had plenty of times to tell them the good news.......but I just couldn't! I knew they were going to be so stinkin' excited but I just didn't know how to say it. So when we got home from shopping, I pulled Denver aside and told him that I just couldn't say it. (Pitafull huh?) So Denver, being the best and most couragous man that I know, told MY PARENTS the great and wonderful news. And of course my mom squealed with excitement and they were so excited to be grandparents again. Just a little side note....I am still a little shaky about the whole telling people that we are pregnant. I love talking about it but I just don't know how to bring it up, so you might have to help me out. I never imagined that something as exciting as this would be difficult. I'm pretty sure when I actually look pregnant I won't have a problem but I still have quite a few weeks before that happens. Pregnancy has been very good to me thank goodness. The worst of it was around Christmas time, but even then....it wasn't bad.

Here in the next few weeks Denver and I will be able to find out if it is a boy or a girl and we can't wait! Denver and I have had the opportunity to hear the baby's heartbeat and at the last appointment we got to hear it kick. We were listening to the heartbeat and the doctor was moving the sonigram around and all of a sudden we hear this loud bang. I thought the doctor put the machine on my tummy to fast but she asked...did you hear that? Denver and I were like "Yeah, what was that?" She said that was the baby kicking! It was so cool. Denver even recorded it on his phone. I only have one pregnancy picture and I was only 11 weeks. I'll have another picture here on Sunday if we can remember.

Christmas 2009

Denver and I moved over Christmas Break from Flagstaff just in the nick of time before the HUGE snow storms came through. We loaded our things and headed down the mountain to Thatcher. We dropped off our stuff under my grandpa's shop and headed back up to Payson where we had the Platt Family Christmas Party. We had a great time there getting to see all of our cousins we don't get to see very often. It was great seeing everyone again!

Then Denver and I packed up Sunday night and headed over to the other side of the mountain to Eagar where we would stay for the next week and a half. We had a great time over there for Christmas. Everyone was there but Jennie and her family which we missed! We really wished they could have been there. We kept thinking that they might just surprise us. But, they didn't. We did however get quite a surprise late one evening, Raynie and Matt and their sweet little family surprised us! They couldn't come down at first because of a big snow storm and we thought they wouldn't be able to come at all but, we were surprised! Denver and I haven't been the best photographers for the past three months but here are a few!
