Twilight movie


Yesterday was the opening of Twilight. I have to put in my review. Although they left out a few things in the book. I loved, loved it, loved it. Edward had to grow on me a bit but by the end of the movie I got used to him. I knew no matter where they stopped the movie I would want more. And of course I did. If you havent seen it, it is a must see. Even if you havent read the book I think you would enjoy it. Although I think it is 10 times better if you had. We had to wait in a huge line and we were not sure if we were even going to get seats. But it all worked out.

This was my first real outing since my surgeory. For those of you who dont know I went to the hospital about 2 weeks ago in indescribable pain (worse than childbirth). It was on my right side so Jeff was sure it was appendix and insisted we go to the hospital. After starting to throw up because I was in so much pain I finally agreed. I laid in the hospital for 2 days on morphine while they tried to figure out what was wrong with me. My OB was afraid to operate because I was 11 weeks pregnant. But after two days we realised there was no option. So after multiple priesthood blessings and prayers I went into surgeory. Apparently my right ovary being so oversized had turned over on itself and cut off the circulation, so the ovary had died. They removed it. A normal ovary is the size of your thumb and mine wasnt even close to that size. The picture looked like something out of this world. My left ovary is still also enlarged so I am praying that things will go fine and I will be able to keep it. My mom and family came to help me through it and I am so grateful for that. A person who has never had surgeory has no idea what it is like. I am thankful for all of my visitors, calls, and prayers received. Baby is fine and I have been truley blessed.

Happy Halloween!

This year we had Dracula, Superman, and a Hobo Clown.
They worked very hard on their pumpkins. Dalton and Cody did most of the work themselves this year!
This was Preston's first year of really trick or treating. The rain put a little damper on it but he was a little trooper. He didnt want to stop trick or treating. Dylan helped him with his pumpkin this year.

A little Something I've been working On!

Tomorrow I will be 9 weeks pregnant. It is still early and I am not spreading the news to everyone. But most of you who are bloggers already know.So I thought it would be fun to share my ultrasound pics, since most people dont usually get early ultrasounds like I did.
8 week ultrasound pic. Baby's heartrate was 170 bpm.It is normal for the baby to have a huge head at this point.
7 week ultrasound. Baby heartrate was 130 bmp
6 week ultrasound. Saw first heartbeat.
5 Week ultrasound. Saw 1 sac. It is the one on the left.

First baby picture. Embryo before transfer.

Phantom

On Friday I went to Phantom of the Opera in Spokane with a couple of friends. It was so amazing. I had seen Phantom as a kid but I did not remember all of the little amazing things they do during the play. I bought the CD about a month before to brush up on the music. The singing was unbelievable of course. Although most everyone was dressed in "black tie" attire, so even in a Sunday dress, I felt under-dressed.
We had a fun weekend filled with fun,food, laughter, shopping, and Phantom.

Reflections!!!

After finding this link on a friends blog I had to post it. It is truly inspiring and somethings I suggest that you take the time to watch.
It really makes me think about my Savior and the amazing life that he lead and the example he set. You cant help but feel a deep love for the Savior when you watch this. It brought much needed spirit that I needed to feel.

Check it out!
