Here is an early ultrasound picture taken at about 10 weeks. During this Dr.’s visit we got to hear the heart beat for the first time.
I am utterly embarrassed with my lack of posting. Things have been kind of crazy with my life since early spring. But I am done using that as an excuse and want to update everyone on my life in the hills.
The biggest news is after almost four years of unsuccessful attempts in trying to start a family we are excited to announce our first child is due February 1st, 2014. Thanks to lots of prayers, a strong faith and science I get to start decorating a nursery very soon. I believe it is finally settling in that I am pregnant. After so many years of never thinking it would happen, it is hard to fathom it’s actually truth. But over my busy summer of camps and cattle shows, the morning/all day sickness was a constant reminder. Still it wasn’t until recently that I let myself truly believe I am going to be a mom. Clothes are starting to get smaller and finding a comfortable position to sleep in is getting annoying.
The moment of truth will come on September 24th. The day we find out if we are having a boy or a girl. I honestly don’t care either way. But part of me really wants a girl…why? If you show cattle you are aware of all the bling, bling out there for show sticks, show halters and everything comes is lots of bright colors. My husband’s stance is the use of anything other than a black or silver show stick and a black or brown show halter is a big no, no. He strongly feels even his own future daughter (who I know will have him completely wrapped around her little finger) will have none of that bling, bling crap. I am betting he caves. Anyone want to place your bets?
Cattle, family, farming and sharing the world of agriculture to others is my passion. Follow along as I chronicle my life in ‘The Hills.'
My Life in 'The Hills' 
Congratulations! Wonderful news you have!
Awh, yay!! Congratulations!!!
First, you’re going to have to resign from N.A.M.B. Second, tha bling is the thing! Ryla’s ag teacher needed a new truck to transport students (read school pays for it). He took her stick (black, blue velvet, blue rhinestone handle,) and informed the board that he could NOT transport that stick in an unreliable vehicle. He got the truck. Congratulations you two. No kid could ask for a better start in life. Love you.
