Story Time!

Well, I guess it's time to post an interesting blog. Yesterday was a tiring day for me, but also exciting. Let me explain why. Ryan and I were on the way to the doctor when he realized that my car had monumentally reached mileage 111,111. So we stopped and took a picture! It's so handy to have a camera around! While were about to get on the on ramp to the freeway, and about mileage 111,114... she died. Long story short, we had to pull over and call a tow truck to have the car taken to our brother in-laws service station so Ryan could fix it and get it running before our rescheduled doctor appointment.
After getting it fixed by the skin of our teeth, we made it to the doctor to see this!
This is our little baby! Yes, I am pregnant! I'm 7 weeks along and am due the day after my birthday (3/15/08) with a possibility that it might actually come ON my birthday! It was planned, we got off the pill in May and within a month I as pregnant! Yowza! We are excited, nervous, happy, scared, floored, etc! It's a range of feelings- especially for me with the crazy hormones (I'm SO in my first YUCKY trimester)! Wow, I mean I'd heard about "morning sickness"- but you just really don't know what it's like until you experience it! Ah the things we do for our children. And my husband is being wonderfully patient and wonderful to me!
I'd have to say the highlight of my afternoon was (and I'm sure it was Ryan's too) seeing the little itty-bittiest heart beat in the world! And to realize it was our baby's! It was going so fast! It was amazing! Crazy! It think it was also helpful for Ryan to actually SEE the baby- because boy oh boy do I feel it, but it wasn't real for him until then. I, of course, cried and Ryan says that he was so excited to see that little thing that was part of him and part of me alive!
Our families are super excited. And I'll just be excited to get out of this first phase. Anyway- this is definitely exciting for us! Who'da thunk that in one year Ryan and I would find each other, get engaged, buy a house, Ryan get baptized, get married and get pregnant?! We are truly blessed.

The sound of people clipping their fingernails at work has to be one of the grossest things in the world to me. Wait until you get home... please!

Update on the Smith front

Nothing much to report for right now. Things are going good. We've just been living life and enjoying our little puppy! She's doing really good. She likes it when we have company. Especially last night we had some people over for Jiznin's b-day and she just loved all the attention she got! Of course, it's because as everyone says "she's the cutest dog" they've ever seen! She still does #2 in the dining room if she doesn't get it done outside, that makes me a little mad. But she's starting to learn that's a big NO NO because she ran away from me this morning when she knew she was in trouble! Anyway... she's cute, we love her and it's nice to have her around!
My friend Emberleigh (Emily H.) is coming to visit this weekend and I am SOOOO excited! It'll be nice to have an old friend around to entertain me! HA! We haven't decided what to do, we might just do a whole lotta NUTHIN'! (Great grammar eh?)
Peace!

No one seems to be in the mood for blogging. Well, okay that's maybe a little extreme to say NO ONE- I've seen a handful of new blogs the last little while. But I challenge you all to post something new... what's up? How's life? Anything new or exciting happening? Or just nothing at all? Ready, set, WRITE!

It's a Girl!

Born May 11, 2007. We brought her home Saturday. We named her Ally, short for Alison! She's a Lhasa Apso and is a little sweetie... so far!
