1st Doctor Visit

Today Tanner and I went to our first doctor's visit! It was a great day! I was really nervous to go to the doctor, but excited too! It really helped having Tanner come because he made the nerves go away. We got to hear the heartbeat of the baby!! We were so excited and could not stop smiling! There really is baby in there!!! :) It was cute, Tanner asked so many questions to the doctor! It was great having him there, because he remembered about stuff that I didn't and was very caring. So, we found out that I am 10 weeks and 3 days along and due on May 18, 2008. On Tuesday I am going in for a sonogram! YAY!! Everything seems so real and not just like I am sick for nothing!

I have to say that it is so worth every night that I was sick, to finally hear the heartbeat of our little one and know that they are developing and doing well!!

That's about it for now, but I'll update more later!

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!
