Pregnancy-week 15!

I think I'm finally starting to get a little baby bump! I'm still at that stage where the bump is caused from bloating or it's an actual baby bump, it's hard to tell. Not much has changed. It's hard to believe that next monday marks 12 weeks since we found out we were expecting! In the next 12 weeks things are going to change so much. Baby will keep growing, and I will start to feel him move! We find out the gender next wednesday. I had my 15 week appt yesterday and wasn't expecting an ultrasound. They said they would do a complimentary one so I was all for that! Nick wasn't there cuz I told him he didn't need to come. It was so cool to see how much baby was moving and how much he has grown in just 3 weeks! I saw his little hand. It's the sweetest thing ever! The doctor tried to check it's gender but Hen was keeping his legs closed. The doctor poked me a few times to try to get him to move but I guess that just made Hen cross his legs tighter hahaha. It's just as well. Nick and I would not have been able to wait for a week to open that envelope.

I'm still sick, the medicine definitely helps though! I started my internship last week with adoption life, and I love it so far! Caitlin (the other intern) and I have been helping them complete their files cuz today they had a review. They were all so stressed cuz a lot of the files had things missing. Hopefully next week we will be able to get to do real work! I love all the ladies I work with, they are so great and love what they do! I loved my first day of classes last week. It was so fun to get to know everyone in my cohort and all the teachers seem really great.

My nausea medication ran out on tuesday and I found out it would be $100 to refill. I didn't want to do it so last night I didn't take it, just unisom and vitamin b6, since supposedly those are the main ingredients in my medication anyway. I felt so sick today! I got to my internship and helped a little and then all of a sudden I felt like I was going to faint! I had to sit down and they told me just to go downstairs and lay down. I felt so bad. Nick came to get me cuz I didn't know if I could drive myself. We refilled my prescription so it doesn't happen again. I just wonder when this sickness will go away??? Maybe it's going to last my whole pregnancy :( :( . Oh well I am sure it will be worth it. Nausea= a healthy pregnancy anyway, that's what I am told. Yesterday the ladies at work did the "necklace" gender trick on me and it said I'm having a boy! Then I looked up the chinese calendar prediction test and it was also a boy! This baby is totally little Henry :) We can't wait to find out for sure!

Pregnancy week 13

Week 13. Baby is the size of a PEACH! He's getting so big! We are visiting my family in Texas this week and it has been fun. We went to the pool with Bobbie, will, and mccall on Thursday and I got fried. Friday we went shopping and I got some loose clothes for maternity. Vickie and Blake came to see us yesterday and we all went to dinner. They are the best. I feel like I am finally starting to show a little bit. We find out the gender in just a few weeks!

this past week

This past week Blake and Vickie stayed with us because Brett and Kad got married this past Saturday! Blake and Vickie are the most loving and caring in laws EVER. They said they are going to pay for baby's crib and are giving me $$ for maternity clothes! They are so sweet! Uncle Kurt, Lisa, and Brooke came too. I was so happy to meet them. Vickie's family came as well and everyone is so nice. They are the best people. It was Kurt's first time to Utah (he is 62) and he kept saying how much he loved it. We could tell he was feeling the spirit. Nick got a BOM and wrote his testimony in it and sent it today.

Saturday was a special day. We could all feel Nancy at the wedding. As I was walking up the stairs with Nick to go to the sealing room I felt her strongly. We got the sealing room and Blake was already there. He told Nick he felt her strongly and I agreed. I sat in the chair where she would have sat had she been alive. The sealing was beautiful. Kad's grandpa sealed them. After the ceremony nick and I were the first ones out and Nick said it hit him how much his mom had guided he and Brett throughout their lives. They both married into families where grandpa was able to seal them. It truly is a miracle that Blake found the church (he comes from a long line of alcoholics who died in their 50's or earlier) and that both boys served missions and got married in the temple. Nick also commented that he felt his grandpa Ben during the sealing as well. His grandpa Ben left when his dad was young and never came back. Nick was able to do his temple work a few years ago and told me that during the sealing he could feel that Ben was very happy.

The reception was beautiful! Aislynn (Kad's mom) had a close friend pass away on Thursday so another friend of hers came to talk to nick and I after Nick gave a speech and talked about his mom guiding he and Brett. She thanked Nick for talking about her and then talked about her friend. She said that there were 4 empty chairs on the same side that Nick was sitting on and that she was sure their friend and Nancy were taking them. I feel like my view of eternity was broadened and my testimony of Jesus Christ was strengthened.

I'm 12 weeks pregnant this week! I still feel the same, lactose makes me feel gross (so much bloating). I can't believe it's been 2 months since I found out I was pregnant. We have our 12 week appt tomorrow and we are so excited to see how the baby has grown. Hopefully we'll get the blood test done for OI tomorrow and find out the gender within the next couple of weeks! Can't believe that baby thompson will be here in 6 months!

Nick and I both got hit with really bad colds this past monday, the day that Blake and Vickie arrived. We were feeling so bad on Tuesday that we had to miss going with Kad through the temple. I was so sad! Being prego means I can't take medicine, so I still have some congestion and my chest is so wheezy! The only thing worse than having a bad cold is having a bad cold while pregnant and not being able to take medicine :(
