Our Perfect Day!

My husband is amazing! I don't how I got so lucky to have him but I am sure grateful that he is in my life. Sunday was our 1st anniversary so we decided that we would celebrate on Saturday. I woke up Saturday morning and Jim had made me a delicious breakfast of french toast and fruit. After breakfast he gave me a photo book he had made for me of pictures of us when we were dating and since we've been married. I loved it. Jim also gave me little "tickets" for different places to go and said we would have a busy day ahead of us..

The first place that we went was the Bountiful Temple where we were married. We walked around and it was fun to remember our wedding day.



The next place we went was miniature golfing. We went to a course called Hollywood Connections. It was really fun. Jim even shot a hole in one!



Next we went and flew kites at a park in Orem. Flying kites was something we did when we were dating. We did successfully get one kite up for a while but the other one didn't work so well. I guess we needed a little more wind.



After flying kites we went to the Provo Temple where we got engaged. We sat on "our" bench where he popped the question and just enjoyed the memories and excitement we felt when we first got engaged.



Finally we ended our day by having dinner at our special restaurant. The Great China is a little restaurant in Orem that we went to on our first valentine's day. We have since gone there for subsequent valentine's days and birthdays. We love it because it is never crowded, it has great food (my favorite is the chicken with snow peas mmm....) and it has great service.



Pretty much we had the perfect day together. I was so impressed that Jim was able to spend the whole day with me and that he didn't have to do homework. He was so sweet to plan the whole day and take me to all the places that have special meaning to us.

We celebrated our actual anniversary yesterday but eating cheesecake (Jim's all time favorite dessert) and watching our wedding video.
It's only been a year since we were married but so much has changed already. It was fun to look back and see that now we are expecting a baby girl and many of the friends and family that were at our reception have since gotten married or had babies. We look forward to many more years of being happily married together.

This is a video of the ultrasound from yesterday. The doctor gave us a VHS so until we get it transferred to DVD, we made a video of it on the camera. Sorry for the bad tracking and colored swirl :)

Her little feet!

It's a Girl!!!

Today was the day of the big ultrasound. The appointment was at 2:20 which made it a long day of waiting. Then we had to wait in the doctor's office for an hour before going in. Jim and my sister Cindy came. Seeing our baby was a neat experience, we saw it from the top of the head down to the little feet. The doctor measured and pointed out lots of major body parts and organs. We saw different parts of the brain, the four chambers of the heart, the stomach, the bladder, and the little thigh bone. She was dancing around during the ultrasound, making the doctor earn his pay. The doctor said that everything looks good. He ruled out some major birth defects, so we know our baby won't have spina bifida, cleft lip, or holes in the heart. We were very excited to hear that the baby is healthy. She still only weighs one pound, so we will keep her in the oven for a bit longer. The last thing that the doctor showed us was the gender. Jim could tell that it was a girl as soon as the doctor panned in, it left no doubt. We were a little surprised, as we both thought it would be a boy, but we are very excited. We're still unsure on the name. If you have any brilliant ideas, let us know. For now, we will call her Yosie (Short for Yosemite Park) or Brooklyn "The Bronx" Park. Yosie is my dad's name for the baby. She already likes the Yankees, daddy's little girl. Jim can't wait to buy her a little Yankees outfit, she would look so cute in pin stripes. I think that's a great idea as long as it's pink. I don't want to have any confusion, people thinking she is a boy when she is little. I plan on dressing her in lots of pink with cute flower bows on her head so that doesn't happen. We are so excited to meet our baby girl! She should come 07-08-09.
