February
This was a BIG month for us!! For Valentine’s day Matt took me to see the Vow. We had a lot of fun! (I couldn’t ask for a better husband.) We were also going snowboarding and skiing almost every weekend this month. We went up to Powder Mountain and had a great time! Towards the end of the month I started feeling sick. I really didn’t think anything of it. (We have been trying to get pregnant for almost an entire year, we had been let down many times when I thought I was pregnant and I wasn’t.) I finally decided to take a test on Saturday February 18. This was still two days before my period was due and was NOT expecting a positive result. I was at Walmart when I decided I wanted to take the test. ( Like I said before, we had tried for a while and I had gotten Matt’s hopes up enough times I didn’t want to get them up again to only have them be let down yet another time.) So while I was shopping for our weeks worth of groceries, I decided to take a little break and use the bathroom and pee on a stick. After the deed was done I couldn’t bring myself to look at the test. I wanted it SO badly to be positive, that I knew that I would be CRUSHED if it were negative. When I looked at the test , the result line was darker than the control line. I couldn’t believe it! After I finished my shopping I went home and had Matt help me put all the groceries away. (I had also bought a little bib that said “Daddy’s Favorite”) It was so fun to see him grab the bib and just look at it for a minute and then he came over and gave me a big huge hug.
We were going to wait a while to tell our families at first, but that DID NOT WORK! Matt and I were both SO excited that we couldn’t keep it a secret anymore! I went to the store and bought some iron on letters. I made a shirt that said “See you in October”. I put the shirt on and headed over to my parents house. My parents were both SO excited! I showed all my siblings and they were also all very excited! We then headed over to Matt’s Parents house. Tami got it right off the bat, it took Greg a minute to realize what it was saying but once he realized it he was very excited as well. We called all of Matt’s siblings and told them over the phone because it was too late to drive to all their houses. Everyone was SO excited for us and our little bundle of joy that we are going to bring into this world.
March
During March everything was going great! I did not have morning sickness at all which I was SO grateful for. I went in for my first OB check in March. I got to see our little peanut and see the heartbeat. It was so neat! I was still really nervous because of what had gone wrong with Grace. I kept telling myself that I just needed to have faith that everything would work out the way it should and that helped me out a great deal!
April and May
Once April began so did the morning sickness. (I thought because I had made it this far with no morning sickness I would make it through the entire pregnancy without any…..I was wrong) I kept the morning sickness very well controlled on Zofran. There were a couple of times that I was really sick and I came in and got an IV once, but for the most part it was under control with the Medicine. At the end of May I went in for an appointment and we REALLY wanted to know if we were having a little boy or a little girl. It was VERY apparent to me that we were having a little BOY! It took Matt a while to see it but you could definitely tell that it was a little boy. Matt was SO excited that he was going to have a little boy! We decided on the name Lincoln Matthew Daich. I love it and can’t wait to meet him!
Me at 17 Weeks with Lincoln
He is DEFINATELY a little boy!
June
We had a very exciting June! We had our big ultrasound to make sure everything was ok with our little Lincoln. Everything looked great and there was definitely no question that he was still a little Lincoln.
We also went to Cedar City with Jaxon and watched him play soccer in the summer games. We had a lot of fun there as well!
At 21 Weeks
I also started making a blanket for Lincoln. Here is a picture of the almost complete blanket. :)
July
We have had so much fun during the month of July so far. We went to Farmington Pond and to Woodruff for the 4th July has been one jam packed month!
