It's A Girl...

The shot to let us know she was a girl.

So today I went to Millcreek Imaging and had my ultrasound. The ultrasound was about an hour long. During the test they went over every single organ in the baby's body, starting from the head then down to the toes then to the heart and then they finally told us what we were having. They checked my placenta and the amniotic fluid. They took all sorts of measurements too. We got all of our pictures on a C.D. then we got the entire ultrasound on a DVD. What an awesome thing. This was probably one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Jake, my mom, and myself got to watch the test done on a HD flat screen T.V. We are so excited to be having a little girl!! I have already been shopping. We have a list of names that we like but nothing is set in stone. I will keep everyone posted.

Baby Update...

Today I went to see my doctor. I am now 18 weeks and 1 day. They took my weight, my blood pressure, and did a urinalysis. He also felt to make sure my uterus was where it was suppose to be. We heard the baby's heartbeat by doppler, beating at 145 BPM. I declined to do the genetic testing. I didn't want to be more stressed out! It's only a probability test anyway, not a "yes" or "no". I would like some feedback from my fellow bloggers if they did or did not do it. I can still change my mind in the next couple of weeks. So far everything looks great. We find out on Wednesday the sex of the baby, I can hardly wait!! My next appointment is on February 23, so I will keep everyone posted.

Christmas...

On Christmas day Jake and I woke up at 6am and did our Christmas then we headed to his parents house to open the gifts they got us. At 10am Jake's dad's side of the family came over for breakfast. We then headed to my parents house for a light lunch. By 5pm I was exhausted and ready to head home for the night. We had such a wonderful day seeing family, opening our gifts, and eating a lot of good food. I can't believe that next Christmas we will have a six month old!

Christmas Eve...

My new rocking chair for the nursery.

This year for Christmas Eve, Jake and I spent the evening at my parents house. We had dinner, opened our presents, then watched Christmas Vacation ( the greatest Christmas movie ever! ). It was very relaxing since every year on Christmas Eve we usually go to my grandparents house, but we are not doing that any more. We are starting this new family tradition.

Baby Update...

Yesterday, I went to the doctor for my 13 week check up. Everything looks great! We heard the baby's heartbeat with the doppler and it was beating about 160 bpm. He took my weight, blood pressure, and did another urinalysis. This visit I only had a few questions, unlike the last visit when I had about 15 questions. I am feeling a lot better. I am not as tired as I was, not much nausea, and I haven't thrown up in a couple of days! I will be starting my 2nd trimester on Sunday, December 28th ( yahoo ). My next appointment is on January 26th, I will be making my ultrasound appointment at Millcreek Imaging on this day for later that same week to find out the sex of the baby!!! I will keep everyone posted.

Annual Carsey Christmas Party...

Everyone taking their shots

On Saturday night it was the annual Carsey Christmas party. This year it was at my parents house. My mom and I were busy all day getting the house ready and making or picking up all of the food. We had delicious sandwiches, salads, shrimp, bruschetta, fruit, and all sorts of other food. My grandma made her awesome banana nut bread and rice krispy treats for dessert. After we were done eating, all of the girls in the family exchange their Christmas decoration gift that we all buy for each other. Then all of the little kids exchanged their gifts. As the night progressed, my cousins, my brothers and my aunt decided they should take a shot ( of alcohol ). One shot led to four shots! It was a fun night and everyone had a good time with lots of laughs, football watching, and eating. By the end of the night I was exhausted!!

Thanksgiving...

This year for Thanksgiving Jake and I spent the day with his family. We rotate families every year. We ate some great food and watched football! His parents friends were in town from Arizona and so it was nice to see them and catch up. Later on that night we went to my parents house for dessert. On Saturday night my mom, dad, Kyle, Kellen, Courtney, Jake, and myself went to a movie, we saw Four Christmases. The movie was very cute and got us into the holiday spirit!

Baby Update...

On Monday Jake and I went to see our doctor. Everything looks great! I am now 9.5 weeks along and still am very nauseated and tired. Hopefully this all goes away in the next couple of weeks. We saw the baby's heart beat ( by ultrasound ) fluttering away at about 120 beats a minute, probably one of the most exciting things I have ever seen! The doctor also did a urinalysis and some blood work to get a baseline. My next appointment is on December 22 so I will keep everyone posted.

Birthday's...

For the last two weekends our friends had birthday parties for their little kids. The first was on the 8th for Ryne who turned 1 and the second was on the 15th for Hannah who also turned 1. Both kids are just adorable! Sorry I do not have a picture of Hannah's birthday.

Zermatt Resort...

On Friday night Jake and I went to Zermatt Resort and Spa, in Midway. His work had a investment recognition event there. It started at 6pm with drinks and introduction then we had dinner. The dinner was buffet style: salad, salmon, prime rib, pasta, and potatoes, just to name a few. Around 9pm everyone headed to their rooms (that were paid for by Wells Fargo), went swimming at the indoor pool, or just relaxed. It was a very nice evening, the dinner was delicious, and the rooms were fabulous! It was great to get away for a night.

My Sweet Husband...

These past two weeks have been very crazy but exciting, here at the Jordison house. I found out last Monday that I am PREGNANT!! We are so excited!! We have been trying for about six months and it finally happened. I am seven weeks along and my due date is around the 28th of June. I have an ultrasound on the 24th of November so I will know more then. I went to see my doctor on Thursday the 6th and so far so good. I am a high risk pregnancy due to an incompetent cervix, but so far things look great. I have been feeling very nauseated and extremely tired. So my sweet husband brought me home this beautiful flower for the new mom to be.

Happy 75th Birthday...

Yesterday afternoon, Jake's parents had the whole family over to celebrate his grandpa's 75th birthday. Jake's grandparents are leaving to Palm Springs on Tuesday. They live there for the winter which is about 6 months. So it was nice to celebrate his birthday and to say goodbye until Christmas. Jake's grandparents are so great and a lot of fun to be around! We will miss them!
