The Year of 2009 in review...

January
Take a trip to Dan & Meg's before spring semester starts. Find out on January 28th that I am pregnant.
February
Still no pregnancy symptoms. First Mid-Wife appointment and we get to hear the heartbeat. Hockey game for Valentine's Day. Trying to figure out where to move since Grace Married Housing doesn't allow children.

March
Still no pregnancy symptoms. Another Mid-Wife appointment where we get to hear the heartbeat again. Baby bump very very small but starting to show a bit. Decide to rent the house the church has.
April
Still no pregnancy symptoms. Hear the heartbeat again at appointment and schedule our 20 week appointment and the BIG ultrasound to find out what we are having. Work on the house painting, new shower, etc so we can move in soon.
May
Randy's 30th birthday, my 21st birthday. Move into the new house. On Randy's birthday we had the BIG ultrasound and found out we are having a beautiful baby girl. Oh...and pregnancy symptoms are still a no show...so I stopped waiting for them to show up.
June
Went to Monroe to visit Dan & Meg's. had a great time with them and Tim and Trina. Being with Meghan made me even more excited to be a mom...their boys are so cute. (Still no symptoms) Belly getting bigger.

July
Paint the nursery, getting bigger. Definitely feeling a lot of kicks...especially in my ribs. Her space is slowly dissapearing.

August
New semester starts. I'm taking online classes. We get a new dog from Cori and Blake. A 3 year old Boxer named Goliath. He's such a lover and a cutie.


September
Feeling huge and ready for Aspen to make her presence. Measuring huge at 39 week appointment, talk of a growth ultrasound ensues and they think we are going to have a BIG baby. But Aspen has other plans and I go into labor on September 29 at 5:30pm. Aspen born September 30 at 5:28am. Weighs in at 7lbs 10oz.


October
Come home from hospital on the 2nd. Breastfeeding not working out. Nic & Liz's wedding. Discover that I have mastitis. Aspen isn't gaining weight. So we start formula, I stop breastfeeding...and felt soooo much better. Aspen turns 1 month old. Took Aspen to her first Hockey game the week before Halloween...and Had her newborn pictures taken by SaraBeth.


November
Spending time at home with Aspen. Enjoying being a stay at home mom. Aspen's first Thanksgiving...and Aspen turns 2 months old. At 2 month appointment she gets shots and weighs in at 9lbs 1oz.


December
At appointment she had only gained 1 oz in 2 weeks. Dsicovered thrush was causing her not to eat much. When thrush got better, she started eating more. At weight check she gained 11oz in 6 days. So she is now 9lbs 13oz. Also had Aspen's first Christmas where because of a huge blizzard we got snowed in at Randy's parents house.
