We are now 13 weeks! That means we are in the second trimester! YAY! We got to see baby today, everything looks great so far. We had testing done to check the baby for abnormalities... I checked to make sure it wasn't the same tests they did when I was pregnant with Jaxon, because I really didn't want to stress... but good news! Everything looks normal!

So far, this pregnancy has been fairly mellow like my last two. No morning sickness! I haven't been quite as tired as I was with Jax, but I have many food aversions and have been getting headaches and head burn much sooner!

How did I find out I was pregnant? Well, we had been trying for about 2 months.. so I had been tracking my cycles very closely... I took the test the end of June while I was at my sister Whitney's house for her ultrasound (I was very sneaky and didn't tell anyone but my mom who was there with me!) My cycle should have started that day, but it hadn't and I just HAD to know! Sure enough, it was positive!! It was so hard not to explode the news to the whole world right then! But we decided it was best not to tell anyone until we had seen the baby on an ultrasound.

Thanksgiving in Utah

At this point, I had told Shannon everything. Even though she is at BYU going to school, she was about the only girlfriend I had left, so she gets to hear all my complaining and I LOVE her for being so amazing about it!

My family and I went to Utah to see my grandparents for Thanksgiving. And of course this meant they wanted to meet Colton. Not meet him as the 11 year old I knew in junior high, but as the 'boy who got me pregnant'. Which is something I DREADED for weeks.

That was the first and only time I ever doubted his love and support for me. He came up sick the day he was supposed to come (which I still don't know if that was ever true) and it never happened before we left again for Arizona. For obvious reasons, I got a lot of crap from my family about that whole thing.

But I honestly was much more concerned about being car sick on a 13 hour drive! To this day, I have not gotten morning sickness... but boy was I uneasy on that drive!
