I'm Pregnant!

Well, I finally told everyone important that Tanner and I are having a little one, and so now I can post about it. I didn't want anyone finding out from my blog...a little impersonal I guess! This week I am 7 weeks pregnant! Tanner and I found out together and took the test together too. Tanner is so excited and thrilled, but also a little stressed out about money and how we will financially take care of the baby! I guess I'm not as worried because Tanner ALWAYS is so good with money and makes sure everything is taken care of :) It's nice!

I have been having nauseau, upset stomach, and morning sickness with the yucky stuff! It's been hard, but it's okay because at least I'm not sick to be sick, but sick so I can have a baby!!! Tanner and I really don't have a preference on what we want the baby to be...we just want a happy, cute, and healthy baby.

Tanner and I have been swamped with work, school and being pregnant as usual! Tanner is doing so great and is helping me so much. I sometimes feel like all I do is say, Tanner can you get this? Etc. He always does it with a smile!

We are doing well and can't wait for the 12 week mark to come along, so hopefully the sickness will dissapate! (crossed fingers)

Ethan Hollis

On September 12, 2007, my sister Leah had her 2nd boy by C-section. He was 9 lb 11oz and 22 1/2 in long. I don't know how Leah did it, but she did!! He is so precious! When Tanner and I went to the hospital, we enjoyed holding Ethan and talking to Leah and Neil. Here are some pictures my mom took and later I'll upload my pictures!! :)


Ethan Hollis!!!! I came after my Thursday night class to see my sister and brother-in-law and new nephew! I loved holding him.

On Wednesday when Tanner and I went to see the new baby, I saw Ty in the hallway on his way to eat lunch with his Aunt Lisa and Dana and Grandma Bartlett! Ty ran down the hall to me and gave me a big hug and kiss without being asked! Ty is such a sweet, loving boy! I love my nieces and nephews so much and enjoy being their Auntie!


He has gorgeous blue eyes and lots of dark brown hair. I love his hair!! When I first took a look at his hair, I was so proud to call him my nephew!Here's my mom holding him.


Here is Ethan right before he woke up! It really looked like he was pondering life! Every little move was so sweet and I couldn't stop watching him!




This was Thursday night and I was holding little Ethan and he grabbed my finger with both his little hands! He's so sweet and lovable and PERFECT!

Carissa Meredith

Yesterday my sister Meredith had her baby!!! She was born at 7 lbs 7 oz and 19 and 3/4 inches long. She is so sweet and doesn't like it when you play with her feet. Meredith went into labor at about 2 am and then called my mom and went to the hospital at about 4:45 am. We all went to church and my parents and my nieces and then went home, got dressed, and went to the hospital. The baby was born on Sept 2, 2007 at 12:23 pm. Tanner was so excited because he got to hold a newborn baby and he never had because his sister and sister-in-law live far away. He is a natural and looked so cute with the baby! We got to the hospital about 1:00 pm and stayed till about 5 pm and then went back to take Jonathan and Meredith some of the dinner my mom made. Everyone is happy and healthy and now home!



Until the baby had a name, we called her Lollipop which Anna and Kirsten nicknamed her when we would ask them what a good name for the baby was.








The first week of school went well. ALl of my classes are pretty good and I am dropping my statistics 2 class because the teacher doesn't know how to teach and she's so confusing and so.... I don't want to stress alot! So, I'm going to take it when the head of the math department teaches it, because he's really good!

Tanner loved school! His teacher is great and he likes the school atmosphere! He's is absolutely doing wonderful.
