Announcing... Pizza!

Our first appointment was on May 30th! I was 8 weeks! After the ultrasound and measuring the baby they changed our due date from December 29th to January 4th, we weren't quite as far along as we thought we were, but that was ok with me!

I'll tell you what! Seeing the baby for the first time on ultrasound was CRAZY!! And you bet your butt I cried!! It was so surreal!

It was kind of funny though, we had the kids and we weren't planning on telling family for a few more days or weeks (since we weren't as far along as we thought we were) so we didn't want to take the kids with us because they would for sure catch on and then spill the beans! So we asked Rachel if she could watch them while we went to a "meeting", which then Jared starts wondering if he is supposed to be going to the meeting too! haha so we fibbed and said it was just a med/surg meeting haha we figured it was ok to fib in this case 😜

After seeing the doctor and trying to figure out when everyone would have a day off together (It gets tricky when you have 4 nurses and a cop in the family!), we just decided to have everyone over that night and tell them! So we ordered pizza and invited everyone over for dinner!

Another funny story, I should have known better, but not really thinking about it I put the best pizza last in the line up of options, so Rachel and Tammy both went through and just opened the lid enough to see what kind of pizza was in the box and then closed it and then both got a piece of the last pizza 😂 who's box didn't have anything written on it! So Kam and I are just sitting back dying, not really knowing what to do and then Jared comes through and sees the writing on the first box and realized he's probably not the one who was supposed to see it (which we didn't really care who saw it first, as long as someone saw it!😜 haha) and at the same time Dan asks Kam and me what we are all smiley about and then figures it out 😂

And funny enough the kids were upstairs playing and didn't find out,, so we told them the next day!

We got them each a little present "from the baby" and then had them read clues like when I get bigger will you teach me how to ride my bike... color... jump on the trampoline exc. and then the last clue said I am going to be either your little brother or sister, and if you are a good big brother and sister I have a present for you. We had to explain haha they didn't really get it, but after they realized what we were telling them they were both really excited!

Disregard the sign that says no pictures or media recording allowed! Haha the ultrasound strip we got had awful pictures on it!! So when the tech left, I was like well heck that picture right there is better than the ones on the ultrasound strip she gave us! And took a pic!

The 3D one turned out ok though!

So when we went down to Bear Lake in June, it was really to tell my family that we were pregnant!

We told my Mom the same way as Kam's family. She was confused as to why Studebakers had written a note on the pizza box 😂

Later that night we played games with my brother and sisters and told them we had a treat to share with everyone and put a bag of pink and blue taffy on the table 👇

Ness and Care weren't there though, so I sent Ness a pic of the bag and then Care was going to be back the next day so we went and saw her before we left town to tell her!

The taffy was pretty much gone so I decided to just hand her the pictures and say we wanted to show you these... And best reaction goes to CARE!!💗 She was so excited for us!! We were killing ourselves for not recording it! haha

On June 17th we had another appointment and got to see the baby on a little ultrasound that looked like a flip phone haha We were only 11 weeks so we couldn't hear the heart beat but we could see it! And we could see baby moving around like crazy in there! It was so crazy to see "him" move so much and yet I can't feel a thing! But man that was the best thing to see our baby doing gymnastics in there! Or Zumba 😜

And I say "him" because I just randomly told Kameron the day we found out "I think it's a boy"... don't ask me why, I have no idea, I just felt like it was a boy haha

Until next time when we tell the WORLD!! 🎉
