22 Weeks and 4 days....
I absolutely love being pregnant! Every night I get really excited to go to bed because that's the time Tyler and I can feel Braxton move the most! I think it is the neatest thing in the world to feel! We will just lay there in bed and watch my stomach twitch or we will just hold our hands on my belly for so long just so we don't miss anything! Tyler still thinks it's not fair that he can't feel him like I can! I keep reassuring him that he will soon get to feel bigger movements (Hope that's true since I am only telling him this because I have heard it from others) I still think its one of the major rewards a women gets and deserves through this whole adventure! Braxton is getting more and more active and the movements are becoming more defined! Saturday morning we think he had the hiccups. My stomach looked like it was twitching every 1-2 seconds. It was so much fun to watch. I just kept laughing.
I day dream about him all day, just wondering what he is going to look like and be like. Both ultra sounds I have had he has just been so mellow and I have even had orange juice just 30 mins before each ultra sound (this is suppose to get them moving I have heard) So it will be fun to see his little personality once he is here and see if he is as mellow and relaxed as he has been! I am planning on this little attitude though only because every time we rub or poke on my belly he kicks back! just once. I am pretty sure he is telling us to quit it!
My body is starting to swell and I had to put the wedding ring away this morning! I am in love with my ring and did not want to take any chances with it. I have heard stories where they have had to be cut off! So I had to part with it today! Time to hit the stores and find me a fake one! I can't go 4 1/2 more months with out one! I just didn't think it would be this early that I would have to put it away!
I feel like I am growing and inch a day, I guess if I am growing he is as well and that means he is a healthy little boy. The changes have been so much fun and so rewarding! Time is still dragging a little. I am getting so anxious to meet this little guy and just hold him. A lot of my friends have just recently had their babies and It has made me that much more anxious as I watch them with there little ones! I still have a lot to do so I am glad I have time, and I am excited to spend the summer playing with my cute husband and spending as much alone time with him as I can before this little guy joins our family.
(This is really for me since I am trying to use this as a journal. Sorry if you were bored!)

~Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?
Depends on how you look at the bed? Straight on or when you are in it? I always sleep to the left of Ty. It some times depends too because, I hate sleeping by the door, so he will always volunteer to sleep on the side closest to the door if we are in a different bed. I have a good hubby!

~Who has more friends?
Mutual! All of my friends are married so I would say we see my friends more, but Ty is always running into someone he knows every time we go some where.
~Who has more siblings?
I do only by 1! But he beats me with number of grand kids on his side though.
~Who wears the pants in the family?
Hmmm... I would have to say it all depends on what the situation is!

Braxton's 20 Week Ultra Sound
EVERYTHING went so perfect! Sigh of relief!! You always know it will but, there is still that inch of worry in you. My friend just had her baby yesterday & the whole pregnancy went great but only a few hours after being born he was life flighted to Primary Children's Hospital. He has quite a few heart problems and will need a few open heart surgeries. It scared me to death. I just kept asking her how did they not catch that on the ultra sound?
So, I won't lie, I let it get to me and ended up being nervous all day! To add to that I was already nervous because I hadn't felt him since Friday. ( I know I worry too much) I know I am not to the point yet of feeling him ALL the time but last week he was very active and I felt him at least once a day so after feeling him as much as I did I thought I was to the point where I should. We tried everything Saturday night & Sunday afternoon. We played music for him with head phones on my stomach, we rubbed my belly over and over again, & I tried changing positions a few times as well & nothing. So I finally asked Ty to give me a blessing to help comfort me. Right after Tyler was done with the blessing we got into bed and I asked Ty to try just one more time to see if he would move for him. Sure enough the second Ty put his hands on my belly he started kicking.... HARD! Ty felt him for the first time last night. It was so cute. Ty about jumped out of his skin and looked at me and said "Was that... Was that..??" He couldn't even get it out! It was the best moment. I guess we know who he likes better already! He won't move for me! Next time I will just got straight for Ty!
Every time she would poke him to look at things a little better he would kick or punch right back. Tyler jokes that he likes sleep as much as I do and hates to be woken up in the wrong way!! You can't tell in this picture but he was just chillen with his arm up above his head. He must be really comfortable in there.
When she was looking at the heart(for like the 4th time, because I told her about my friend) She finally put on the sound so we could hear the heart beat! He jumped right when he heard it. She said her volume was up really load and it must have scared him because he kept moving away from the noise. I hope he isn't a sissy! But it was darling! Just tell me why he won't even acknowledge me when I play music on my belly? We'll have to have Ty try!
I wish he would have let us get a good side profile of him, but I think he wasn't too happy about being poked at so we took what he would give us. He ended up just looking straight at the camera the whole time! It was so fun to see him move and to watch his mouth open and close. Makes me even more anxious!
...........................................................................................................
It's Definitely official! I'm a BOY! Again not shy at all and just hanging out in the spread eagle position! He does not want to be mistaken!

Here we are 20 1/2 Weeks....

Quick Update
I guess you could say we are pretty boring people. We haven't done much to post any pictures but we are staying pretty busy so I thought I would just give a quick update so I can keep up on my blogging!
Tyler is hard at work again. He is back for summer semester, taking only a couple classes to keep him self on track for graduation. He is still loving his job at Xango & is looking for every opportunity to move up. I just have to brag for just a min because I am so proud of him. A few weeks ago his 2 Bosses pulled him aside & told him he was exceeding their expectations! It was so good for him to hear. He works so hard everyday and he loves what he does. We are hoping something comes available soon. He Deserves It!
I am trying to stay busy to pass the time. I am very excited for the next few months, we actually have a lot planned! Summer is the time my family gets out and is on the constant go. We do a lot of Activities/Vacations/BBQ's/Etc. We all look forward to the summer! We have so many fun traditions to look forward too and a few weekend trips planned as well, so I know this will help pass the time. Everyone keeps telling me to "Enjoy the time you have with just the two of you right now." I do love just being with Ty but knowing this baby is on the way gets me very anxious! I am very baby hungry right now! Good thing I am having one of my own right?!
BABY UPDATE.......
Well we have made it to the half way mark!!!! YEAH! We have our routine ultra sound on Monday morning! I am so excited and so scared at the same time! I have been so lucky to have so many ultra sounds so far & I get so excited to get new pictures and see the baby every time! But... It makes me so nervous at the same time. Any mom can't help but worry that the baby she is carrying will develop properly and be healthy. Or I am just a worrier! I would say both! =) I have tried to do everything they tell me to do and be healthy during this pregnancy so I guess it's all in the lords hands! I hope all goes well on Monday & I hope they tell us he is a boy as well! That would be quite a story wouldn't it!? I guess we will have to wait till Monday! I am so set on a little boy now and couldn't be more excited! So hopefully the first ultra sound was right! I have gotten a little excited and ordered a few things for him already so I thought I would share.
................................................................................................................
I have loved this car seat from the start and have not been able to find it in any stores. So I ended up having to order it online from Graco. I hope it looks the same when it gets here! It's back ordered and still won't be here for about 8-12 weeks. Good thing I have lots of time.
...............................................................................................................
FINALLY! After 5 months of being out of stock it finally was available so I snagged it to be safe & I am glad I did because the next day it was out of stock again!
............................................................................................................
I am for sure showing now! I am feeling movements everyday that aren't quite strong yet but he for sure knows how to kick those little legs! Its still very exciting to me each and every time I feel him! I will have Tyler take a picture of me this weekend and post them with our ultra sound pictures so you can see how much we both have grown!

Thursday Thoughts...
I am just having one of those days where all I can think about is how blessed my life is! Life can get pretty hard sometimes & make us want to quit I will agree but I just can't help but count my blessings today! I was thinking about writing them all down so I can look at them on the days I am low and I decided I needed to write a few of them on my blog since I am on here quite often!
I am so Grateful for my sweet husband.
I really do not know where I would be with out him. He is such a strength in my life. I just love him so much. He is the sweetest most patient thing you will meet and I really needed someone in my life like that. With me the patience doesn't come as easily and I feel it's lessened with this pregnancy. He is truly my best friend! Thank you for loving me unconditionally everyday Ty. I love you!
I am so Grateful for the Gospel in my life!
Truly this is my foundation! I feel sorry for those who have to go without it in this life! We are so LUCKY! The gospel truly makes our lives flow each and everyday! I am so grateful to have it in my life. I am so grateful for a husband who is always worthy. I am so grateful for the priesthood. I am so grateful to live in Utah I know the church is outside of Utah but I am so grateful to live here and feel safe everyday & be surrounded by great people!
I just can't believe how blessed I am! This makes me never want to complain again!

He has Arrived!
Anxiously Waiting!
First View of Micah! He is the one sticking out right in front!
They marched down the road to every one
and then chanted for their dismissal.
Then he was all Amber's!!
First Hug!
First Moments with his Daddy!
Can you tell no one wanted to miss it!
Look at all of the camera's trying to get that first shot of those two together! I was holding him so amber could run up to him, as I handed him to Micah people just started swarming to watch and get those precious pictures!
First Loves from Daddy in a long time!
Tage could not take his eyes off of his Daddy!
So excited to have dad home!
Tage had this little flag the whole time
and couldn't stop waving it! So cute to watch!
They wouldn't let each other go the whole time!
Can you blame them??
FINALLY HOME!!!!!
The whole neighborhood was decorated with yellow ribbons and signs by the neighbors. Many neighbors were also waiting in the streets to welcome him home as they drove in for the first time!
