It’s a Boy!

I had my 20 week ultrasound yesterday and we are proud to announce we are having a baby boy. Here is a picture at 10 weeks and then at 20 weeks.

Triple Date

It was Friday night and Bryan said we should go on a date. So we invited some friends over and got out the toy airplanes we got from Boondocks last year. We had six planes so each person put one together and we took them outside to fly them.

In this picture one of the airplanes went behind them.

 

And Bryan and Nephi being their comical selves.

Justin’s idea of starting higher didn’t work too well. But he was consistently the best at throwing his plane.

We took turns being a target and whoever could get their plane the closest won. Nephi was a pretty good target.

Hannah got some really good throws with some of the longest air time and greatest height.

 

 

 

Of course we had to try a few variations of our own. Here Bryan is holding his plane in his mouth as he bends a paperclip to add some weight to his plane. Then Nephi and Bryan created a launching system with a rubber band. It did work a few times.

Because it was dark out Bryan and Justin turned on their car lights so we could see. As we were about ready to go back inside we noticed the lights on our car beginning to dim. Apparently our car doesn’t have the best battery life. So we used Justin’s truck to jump it before we went back inside.

We made a game out of shooting the planes out of the air. Bryan was pretty good at it.

We sat and had ice cream and talked for a while until Hannah and Nephi’s cute baby, Joanna woke up ready to eat.

Birthdays

We spent two wonderful weekends with family in Centerville celebrating Bryan’s, Lori’s, and Gordon’s Birthdays. We were able to get together and play games, eat food, listen to conference, and chat. I am so glad we have family close enough to spend so much time with.

Here’s some pictures from Lori’s birthday.

Of course Zackary was a big help opening the gifts. Carson and Bryan correlated their gifts to match.

Bryan got a nerf gun and so they pulled out all the other ones in the house. You had to be careful walking from one room to another.

Gordon got some cookies and being grandpa he shared them with the kids.

Research

So my paper that was accepted in February has been officially published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry. This is really an amazing thing to be a first author of a published paper and not even have a bachelor degree yet. So since that is finished Dr. Martini has had me helping a PHD student named Megan. We finished a portion of her project and made a poster to take to a Food and Technology Expo. This was the first time I had made a poster. Luckily she did all the talking.

13 weeks!

Most of you who read my blog will probably already know but I am 13 weeks pregnant as of yesterday! I am excited to be officially past the sick stage although I had it pretty easy. The one time I threw up was yesterday and I think that had more to do with drinking gatorade first thing in the morning instead of something more basic. Now I am just hungry every few hours and very thirsty. We had our first ultra sound at 11 weeks and at that point the baby was 4cm long. The doctor checked the heart beat and then was chatting with us when the baby just started bouncing around like crazy! We like to call him/her our mexican jumping bean. We have come up with two names that we like: Kevin and Kaelynn. My next appointment is in the end of April but we probably won't find out the gender until May.
