Pumpkin head likes pumpkin curry.

On June 8 we saw Dr. Heather for the first time. She took out the old sonogram machine and we got a little view of you. Your foot was in the air. We both laughed out loud and cried a little when we heard your fast heart beat. Becca couldnt quit looking at the pictures of the sonogram we took on our cell phones.

I have managed to get Becca hooked on pumpkin curry and it is the lunch special on Wednesdays so we usually end up there after your appointment. Im thnking you are going to love spicy food from the way your mom weilds a red pepper flakes shaker.She likes lookin at her picture of you on her phone. It is pretty amazing.

We go to the obstetrician today for the first time. Her name is Heather Harrison but she was not there because she just had a baby. We got some medicine some mom can go to Disneyland without throwing up. Mom likes the names Roman for a boy and Scarlet for a girl. I do to

April brought us

Baby Hadley John and Felicia's first perfect baby and your closest cousin.

It was also Easter on the 24th and we dyed eggs as always their were Easter baskets for everyone even grandma and grandpa. That means you got your first easter basket, your mom was kind of surprised and tearful. Lots of things will be hard for your mom to do alone but we are family and family sticks together. You can confrim that from Lilo.

Trip to the ER

Becca called to tell me she had been rear ended in her little red ford by a large truck. Only her bumper was damaged but she didn't feel well and her back hurt. The doctor said her back would heal with some rest. For a precaution they took a sonogram to make sure the baby was ok. She is 7 weeks along and this is what said peanut looks like at 7 weeks. We went to chuck o rama but Bec felt nauseated and couldn't eat much more than jello and some potatoes. Heres to all day sickness.

April 6 2011

Becca insisted on meeting Shawn and I together to talk about something very important. She wanted us to come home immediately. Shawn was in a class and I had a group until 8:30 she had no choice but to wait until 9. At 9 we were still not home she could wait no more and said she would come to us. I went to the Utah Valley State College campus and picked up Shawn. We waited for Becca. She got into the back seat of the car, obviously troubled as tears were streaking her face, by thern I had a knot in my stomach.

"What's wrong Becca" I asked

"I'm pregnant. " She blurted out as if she could hold it no more.

"Ok honey what do you want to do."

"I dont know but I think I want to keep my baby. Everytime I go for a drive I keep hearing the words.( Iam a child of God and he has sent me here . Has given me and earthly home with parents kind and and dear.)"

Her dad said "Maybe you should move home so we can help you."

Becca said "Why are you so calm?"

Her dad replied, " Becca you dont yell at your child when they break their arm, you yell at them when you catch them jumping from the roof to the trampoline, so you can prevent a broken arm. We already did those conversations now were here so lets just do our best and move forward."

And so it began. Not in the optimal way but still with hope and joy we move forward.
