So step one of having a baby is knowing that you know nothing. I'm having a hard time accepting this step but all of this has been shenanigans!!! I got a blood test that I thought put me at about 2 weeks pregnant but then everyone says, "No, you go from the first day of your last period!" So that made us about 8 weeks. Two weeks later we got to go to the doctor who did an ultrasound and he said it was 6 weeks. 

WHAT?!

     I don't know. Mostly I think I'm just along for the ride. We go back to the doctor in two weeks so that he can take a proper measurement again and hopefully this little Jellybean grows enough in time! We told my whole side of the family on my mom's birthday last week in Bear Lake and Dillan wants to wait for Jackie (his mom) to come visit us from New Mexico to tell her in person which is fine- but it's not until October :-/ So we'll have to wait to tell Dempsey (his dad), too. The only reason why we made a point to tell my fam so soon is because everyone was together and with there being 16 and two halves of us now it just seemed easier. (Sorry, Jackie.)

     Otherwise I'm feeling well. Nausea only a little bit the other day and when I didn't eat breakfast so I have to make sure to keep the tank full but I am really tired. I'm keeping a journal that's kind of like letters to Baby and I hope it has a sense of humour like mine because I'm injecting a lot of personality. Maybe I'll give the journal to them in those awkward teenage years when life gets exponentially more difficult so they know how loved they've been from the beginning. Or maybe when they go to college.

     We have some names picked out and keep getting upturned noses at them! (Yes family, I have noticed!!!) For boys we like Parley after the wonderfully instrumental Parley's of the early LDS church, and also I just like it. And Walt Ellis after Walter Elias Disney. My dad has always said that he thought it was important for a child to know where the legacy of their name came from if applicable and I think these are insanely fitting for Dill and my priorities. For girls I have always loved Kairi and then Dillan has a great great grandfather that was trick shooter for Barnum and Bailey that I could tell you about for days but he was married to a woman named Nola who has quite a few stories of her own. I love Nola Jayne for a girl's name. Mom told me today she flat out hates it. I hate the name she gave me though.... so there's that :)

     And now just the waiting game for what Adam and Sara will name their little one! We're so excited for their excellent news and I'm just ecstatic that I get another little soul on this planet to love!!! Nieces and nephews are the best! I'm super stoked!
