Time to seriously catch up!!!

ok so since i havent blogged since February.... im afraid I have a lot to catch up on. So lets see ill go Month by month!!

 

MARCH:

 

Well we found out we are expecting again! Wahoo!!! I was seriously terrified since last time didnt go so well. But everything has been great!!! I got sick only a few times, and most of the time felt great.

 

Eli started a new job. He is now a towerhand with a company called Rocky Mountain Wireless Telecom.... basically he climbs cell phone towers and fixes them. I think hes a freak personally because these towers average 300 ft tall. But he absolutely loves it. He is gone a lot, since most of the jobs are out of state, but having a job he enjoys so much has been such a blessing.

if you look close you can see him right at the top!!! freaky!!

 

APRIL:

 

not too much happened this month... or that i can remember... I know we had our first baby doctor appt and I was so nervous. The nurse taking my blood pressure actually told me to calm down!! haha but they did an ultrasound and saw that everything was perfect, baby had a strong heartbeat and was measuring a week bigger than what we had thought!!! Making our due date November 29!

this was our little one at 10 weeks exactly!!

 

MAY

 

To be honest this was probly the most boring month.. Eli was gone 90% of it. Although we did celebrate our 1 year anniversary!! From different states! But oh well we'll have many more anniversaries to celebrate!!

 

JUNE:

 

This month was the most exciting... 1st of all it was Eli's birthday!! Which he celebrated alone :( I felt like the worst wife in the history of wives. But he didnt seem to care, because when he came home... his birthday present was to find out that......

ITS A BOY!!!!! We both were so sure that it was a girl... but there was no question, cuz he was not being shy!! and we are so excited!!! Little boys are so fun!!

This was just a picture of him. he was sucking his thumb (so cute) then took it out right when they snapped the picture!! But this may be biased.... but im pretty sure i have to cutest ultrasound baby picture out there!!

 

JULY:

 

This month, I had my birthday... Eli was gone again! haha surprise! luckily i really dont care about my birthdays.. there just another day to me! we also had our 20 week ultrasound, although i was almost 22 weeks at the time... ( i had to reschedule due to work) everything is still looking perfect!! It was so fun seeing everything. The heart, the brain, the arms, legs, spine, i even saw him hiccup.. and found out hes still a boy!! and from the look of things, "Get your hands outta your pants" is gonna be a commonly used phrase!! He was playing with himself the whole time!! I was so embarrassed! but boys will be boys!!

Heres another adorable picture of his perfect little face. (total mom right??) Plus I finally felt the little man move this month... wierdest feeling ever.. but i love it. Now i know he's ok in there since he wont stop moving!!!

 

August

 

this month was fun because me and Eli got our own place!! We'd been living in Nephi with his mom for a few months, but decided there wasnt enough room there for the baby and it was time for us to get our own place. So now were living in Santaquin. I love it. Our neighbors are super nice. And it just has the small town feel. Im still decorating but ill put pictures up when its finally done. The little guy (were still thinking of names) really started moving this month too. but hes running out of room, so now i get jabs and kicks. and instead of little flutters, it actually hurts! My stomach at points has bulges, his favorite position these days is butt out!! And i gotta say, kicks to the bladder are exciting.. you dont even know you have to pee, then boom! Oh the joys..... ITS SO WORTH IT!!!

BaCk To ReAlItY

So i realized i had kind of checked myself out of the blogging world for a little while... I need to catch up!!

Well the first thing I guess i forgot is my Dear Amanda Jo left us for a whole year to go nanny in New York! So happy for her, but man do I miss her and her sarcasm. She left January 7, at 11:20 PM. Worst part is she had never flown before.. ever! So ared eye to a foreign land, all alone, the first time flying. What an adventure!! Before she left she had wrote us all individual letters. I waited til the car ride home to read mine.... lets just say, I was dehydrated after that night!! She sent us all a text at about 4 am saying she had landed.... and as far as I know shes loving it! I am just praying she doenst end up staying out there forever.... although itd make a good reason for a vaca!!!!
Second on my list.....
Look Out Fresno, California. Elder Christopher Jay Hortin is coming to town!!! He got set apart January 31. The whole family went down to his house and just hung out til like 930. I never wanted to leave, But he looked so cute in his suit and tie and name tag. So i gutted it up, and hugged him goodbye. Then went directly home and wrote him a letter that i sent the next day.. haha I had some things i needed to tell him, that I most likely wouldnt have been able to say out loud without crying. So i wrote it. Basically, Just how much i loved him, how much I look up to him, and how proud of him I am. Hes been a little brother to me. The little Brother i never wanted... so God gave him to me in a cousin form. haha and I am so blessed to have him in my life.

Now its time for the big time tourneys in wrestling. As you most know, at Wasatch, wrestling is a way of life. The Hortin family is no different!! Youll never see a tournament or dual that were not at. You'll actually probly hear us before you see us, but hey its what makes it fun. PArker is doing so well this year. I still can't believe how much hes grown. I still think of him as my short little friend. but no, hes a full on man, with a deep voice and huge muscles.

and lastly but definately not least, me and eli have decided to start taking Temple classes. With everything that has happened the last few months, theres no way we would have made it with our sanity without God's help. He does so much for us, and we want to do everything we can to continue to get His blessings. Im hoping to get married in the Temple December 26, 2012. ( the 2nd anniversary of when we got engaged) so Pray for us!!

Our Angel

So in a flood of emotions I erased our post about our baby news, now I wish I hadnt.

I feel like this is a post more for me... I need to talk about what happened, and its still hard for me to talk about it without tearing up so...this is me talking.

I found out we were expecting October 5th. We were so excited!! I couldnt wait get a baby bump, to start shopping,all the fun stuff that comes with having a baby. I had been having the worlds easiest pregnancy (or so I thought). Until thanksgiving day. I noticed some light light spotting, everyone I talked to said it was perfectly normal. So I tried to not worry. But I just had a bad feeling. The following Saturday, the spotting turned into bleeding, and I knew something was wrong. I called my doctor, he was on his way home from the airport from a trip to Africa. The sweet man he is, didnt even stop at home and met me at his office. He only had a mini ultrasound machine at the office, he could see my littke maggot, but said it was no where the size it should be. So he called the hospital and set up an ultrasound. I was always so excited to have one of those, but this time, the cold dark room felt.more like a dungeon. As the tech was pushing and twisting the little remote thing, I couldnt even look at the screen. I didnt wanna know, because I already knew.
After what felt like an eternity in that dungeon, we finally could go home. They would let the radiologist read the ultrasound and then my doctor would call me with the results. We hadnt even made it out of the parking lot when the call came in. The baby's heart had stopped beating almost 4 weeks before.
He said that I would experience some heavy bleeding and extreme cramping, but what I had in my mind and what it was really, so not the same. I have a very high threshold of pain. But I have never in my life felt pain like this. These "cramps" had me shaking and holding my breath every 2 minutes. I just laid there thinking I was dying, praying my dad would drive faster to give me a blessing. Finally, he made it home. Hed already called my cousin Chris to come help him. The second I saw Chris, I started crying even harder. That boy has saved me more than once, and here he was to do it again. I honestly cannot remember what was said in this blessing, but I do remember my dad asking for my pain to subside. Immediately, the pain was gone. So even though I was a firm believer before, I now am positive there is someone up there watching out for us.
The next Tuesday, I had a dnc surgery, and i finally started feeling better physically. Emotionally, I dont know if I'll ever completely recover. As much as people tell me it wasnt my fault, and as much as I know it wasnt. For the rest of my life Ill always wonder, what if i didnt do that? Would my baby be here today?
I am so thankful for the support and love my Dear husband gave me through all this. He had a hard time as well, but was always put me first. I know hes going to be the best daddy any child could ever ask for. So once we get our medical bills paid down a bit were going to start trying again. This baby was unexpected, but now its almost needed. But until it comes, we got one more angel looking out for us :)
