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.

Hehe - that picture shows where the baby is so much better than the mobile picture you sent ashley - we were finding all kinds of fun little creatures in that one! :) So exciting! I was just thinking how amazing it it that we grow our offspring inside of us... I don't know it just struck me as amazing like it hadn't before really. :) CONGRATS!!!
Yeah Heather! I think Brian almost fell off his chair when we saw Matthew for the first time. It made it much more real for both of us. Good luck!
I am so excited for the two of you!!!!
Congrats lady! I'm so glad it's been easy for you guys to get pregnant, and being so sick can be a great blessing. I pray all goes well for you guys!!!!
Congratulations! So that is going to be one special temple sealing when you and your hubby have your precious baby with you. Annebel was 10 weeks old when we were sealed as a family. Yup... got pregnant that night. 2nd Honeymoon and all... be careful about that (hee hee)! I'm seriously so happy for you guys. You are going to be one great mommy, Heather.
The thing that threw me for a loop when I was first pregnant was how irrational some of my moods were. Crying during silly tv commercials (that's how I knew I was pregnant with Shelby). Crying when I smelled other babies. Crying when I thought about if it would be a boy/girl. Crying when I saw someone yelling at their kids. Just lots and lots of silly, weepy, crying!
