IT'S A BOY!!!

Ever since we knew I was pregnant we felt like it was a little boy. In Trent's family all the boys have had a girl first. We call it "The Anderson Tradition." So everyone would say it was a girl. However, it always felt weird to me when I would call our baby a girl.

 A couple weeks ago I had my 20 week ultrasound. That day I had a conference for work up at BYU. I was there until noon and I told Trent to pick me up at exactly 12:00 p.m.. We could NOT be late! He picked me up and we headed to the doctor's office. We were early(ha), so we went and ate lunch. I texted both of our families to give us their final guesses. Most everyone on Trent's side guessed a girl. Most everyone on my side guessed a boy. Right before we went inside Trent and I went back and forth as to what our baby was! We went in, waited for a few short minutes and they called us back.   

(Side note:  My dance teacher when I was little did the ultrasound. Small world!)

She started from the head, and worked her way down examining everything. Trent had not seen our baby in this much detail yet. It was so cool to see how much it had progressed in just a short amount of time. The baby was moving all over. When she got down to the baby's bottom she asked to make sure we wanted to know what the baby was. As soon as it came up on the screen, Trent and I knew immediately that it was a boy. She pointed and said,"You see that, that is a little boy part." :) I started crying and Trent was grinning from ear to ear. 

We met my parents up north after the ultrasound, and told them. Then we drove back home to go to Trent' parents house and tell them. On our drive, our phones were blown up with family asking us what our baby was. We told Trent's parents and when we finally told the rest of the family they were so surprised but excited!

We Broke the Anderson Tradition!!

We can't wait to meet out little boy!!!

The Best News!!!

Around July Trent and I received some very big news. We found out we were pregnant!!! It has been way too long since I last post anything, and I want to keep everything documented for my sake, so i'm gonna try to start from the beginning. It was July 27th I had stopped after work to buy some pregnancy tests. Trent and I had thought for a week or so that I might be pregnant. I was a week late, and am usually pretty regular. I waited for Trent to get home. He was surprised I had waited, but to be honest I was a little scared and wanted him there no matter the outcome. I took the test and on the box it says to wait 2 minutes. Two minutes was not needed, it appeared immediately! A pink plus sign came up bright and clear. 

I just said, "Oh my gosh." Trent asked,"What" so many times, before I showed him the sign. He just got a big smile on his face and gave me a big hug.  It was so sweet, and such a surreal feeling. 

This pic was me the night we found out. 

The next day we went to Lagoon with my family. It didn't even dawn on me tell we were in line for The Rocket, and reading the sign it said, "Expectant mothers should refrain from riding." I of course instantly freak out. I look at Trent and I could tell he was thinking the same thing, We were in line with my brother and his wife. I kept trying to ask Trent, "Is it ok?" without them hearing or noticing. I could tell he didn't know for sure either which made me even more nervous. Yes I did go on a few rides, but was worried the whole time. My family went on a ride and I said we will sit out on this one. Trent and I were so worried we called the hospital. After a few transfers and explaining the situation 5 times we finally got through to a doctor.  Lol I know can you imagine what that doctor on the other side of the phone was thinking. Of course he couldn't give us a yes or no answer but said where I wasn't very far along I should be fine. Which yes did make me feel better. 

The next week I took another pregnancy test just to make sure, and sure enough the same thing happened. Plus Sign! :)

 I wanted to get right in and see a doctor. I had heard of too many horror stories and I wanted to make sure if anything was wrong we could catch it early. Problem was I had no idea what to do. I couldn't ask anyone because then they would know that I was pregnant. I tried calling up to the hospital in Provo. They acted like I was dumb and made me feel like crying. I ended up calling to the clinic here in Mt. Pleasant and they got me in right away. The first appointment was so awesome. We found out I was 7 weeks along, and our baby was due March 26th. I told the doctor my concerns and he did a quick ultrasound on me. Of course all we could see at that time was a tiny dot, but all was well. It was so incredible for Trent and I. This was when it really became real for us.

(Not twins, Dr. just gave us two pictures;))

 My Family was spending a weekend in St. George. And we knew this was the perfect time to tell them because we would all be together. We were there Thursday through Sunday and we told them Thursday night. My mom had been bugging me for awhile asking if I was pregnant. I told her she would be the first to know of the people we tell. So when we got to our condominium, I pulled my mom and dad into a room and showed them the ultrasound picture. They new exactly was it was and were so excited! My dad said, "You know this just make me older right?" :) Yep dad your gonna be a grandpa again! I had bought shirts for the twins that said Big Cousin Spring 2016. That night we grabbed the twins to hurry and  put the shirts on them. They were fussy and Katie came in and saw we were putting on shirts, and said, "oh its OK we have pj's for them." I didn't know what to say so I just said, "ok." lol. She figured it out though and left. We brought the kids out and let everyone read their shirts. They were SO happy! You know the rest!:)  It was such an awesome experience to tell everyone all at once.

Next we had to tell Trent's side of the family. There wasn't going to be anytime soon that everyone was together, so we decided to just tell his parents, and then we could send everyone a text telling them the good news. We went and saw them that next Monday we got back from St. George. We sat them down and told them that we had a present from St. George for them. This is what the present looked like. 

We videoed their reaction. Corey smiled and said, "I knew it!" The next day we sent that video to all his brothers, sisters and their spouses. It felt so good for family to finally know. We could ask questions  and we had all this love and support from them.

After that it was just waiting. I had a Dr. app when I was 15 weeks along. Trent couldn't come with me so my mom came. It was so awesome. We got to hear the heartbeat, but also see it. It was a neat experience to have my mom there with me. Everything was on track and looked good. We announced that we were pregnant when I was 17 weeks.

 We feel so blessed. This baby is already so loved!
