17 weeks and baby movements.

I almost felt like it was to early to feel baby move when I felt him at 16 weeks, but sure enough, every day after that the movements continued. I usually will feel him kicking at night when I am crawling in and Rory is cuddling close to me, when I am most relaxed, but this week I felt him move a few more times during the day. Two nights ago though, the night I turned 17 weeks, I had my hand on my tummy, and felt three little "pops". It felt like something flicking me from the out side in. It had me laughing, because it was four in the morning and I was up with one of my horrible migraines, and just feeling that made my night better. I woke up Rory and had him feel, but bubs stopped moving after that. Tonight though, while we lay in bed, I had Rory put his hand on my tummy because I could feel bubs dancing around in there. Sure enough, Rory felt him kick a few times. He loved it just as much as I did! I guess I probably shouldn't be calling the little one a him yet ( that just comes natural), but I know it is a boy, and we will have it confirmed January 2, or some where close to that. I know I felt movement at 15 weeks, but just brushed it off as gas of some sort. Now though, I am positive about what I felt. Rory and I went and checked out some baby supplies. We went to Ikea first, and seriously I didn't think I could leave. Rory and I LOVED it there> our first time. Than Target. We couldn't find anything we liked so we decided to check out online. We found the perfect crib on Target's website. It has a changer attatched, and it also transforms into a day bed, and a full size bed. I loved that. It has drawers underneath which will definetly come in handy. The price was perfect, $299.00. Unbelievable right? Right. I checked out and shipping it self cost $145.00 bucks! Well I decided to look up that crib on google.com, and sure enough it pulled the same exact one on Walmart.com, for $20.00 cheaper, and it has site to store shipping for free. That was exciting. Now all thats left to buy is the million other things! This is so exciting. I had a GREAT birthday! Went to Chillis for dinner, and Rory took me to Tepenyakis the day after. My mom gave us some money, which is what I asked for for baby supplies, and Rory and his sisters pitched in and bought me this awesome foot/hand spa that I have been talking about for weeks! I was so surprised! His parents also gave us money for baby supplies. All and all, it was wonderful. I am so thankful! Well, better get some sleep, or try to. Love you all!

16 weeks and 4 days

Thats right. Crazy huh? The little one is now the size of an avocado. How cute. Anyways, I have been feeling the little bean moving a lot this week. First it just felt like bubbles, or if the baby was doing summer saults, but tonight, I felt little "pops", which I assume would be kicking. It had me laughing over and over again. Rory loved it! So my birthday is just a couple of days away, which seems so strange to me. I will be 18 which is cool, I guess. It seems so funny that Rory and I planned on marrying this coming Spring, and I am so happy my mom agreed to letting us marry this August. Not sure what I will be doing for my birthday, probably just a dinner of some sort. Also, Rory and I are so close to being done with Christmas shopping, just my dad and brother left. I finished wrapping all of the presents tonight and now I feel like a pro at it. School is almost over for me, I am gradated in four weeks, this is so exciting for me because I accomplished something that meant a lot ot me. I will be graduated two quarters early. I plan on going to SLCC for beautician in the fall. Life has been very good lately. Rory and I are so excited for our new life that is coming soon. He is such an amazing husband and I am so thankful to have him. I love him so much and I am so in love with him and I know he feels the same for me. I know we will always be completely happy with eachother forever and ever and after and always in love with eachother for ever and ever and after and always together forever and ever and after. Love you all bye!

14 weeks, tiny little heartbeat.

So Rory and I went in on wednesday and finally had the chance to hear the babies heart beat. It was 162 and so beautiful. I finally feel like there is a baby inside of me. All of my worries seemed to fade away with every beat I heard. Rory and I have started looking at baby cribs and seats. It is so exciting to think that here in 6 months, we will have a family of three. In four weeks, we find out what we are having. With out confirmation, I know its a boy. I guess you could say my motherly instinct has kicked in lol. Thanksgiving was yesterday and it was a wonderful day! Rory and I started the day out at his families house and enjoyed a Thanksgiving lunch which was very good! Than went back to my families house and ate like the end of the world was here. I still feel full! It was a very yummy dinner! I just thought of so many things I am thankful for. I am incredibly thankful for my husband Rory, who continues to stand by and support me through everything I do. I love him and care for him so much, and it is an amazing feeling to feel his amount of love for me as well. I am so excited to start my family with him and spend eternity and after with him. I am very thankful for my family and parents. My parents do anything they can to help us out and make sure life is easy for all of us. I love them so much and have no idea what I would be with out them. I am thankful for my heavenly father and Jesus Christ and for all that he has sacrificed for us. I am thankful for these beautiful days I get to spend with my husband and family. I am thankful for my brave brother Austin and his couragiousness. I am thankful for my country and all that is has to offer. There is so many more. Life is such a precious gift that we should cherish and take each day for what it is worth. I am off now to hang out with Rory. I love you all!

9 weeks and 1 day, who knew!

So everything seems like it is going by so fast! Even with this gut wrenching sickness every morning, and moodyness up the butt, these weeks flew by! Did I tell you? Stephanie is expecting too! I am so happy! It is so exciting to be expecting so much love and happiness! Rory has been so supportive. Every morning when I run to the bathroom, he follows me with a pony tail. He stands by me and puts my hair up, what a brave man! Haha! He gives in to my cravings and spoils me. I just love him so! Because I am pregnant, it is going to be difficult to go on our honey moon to Australia, but we are thinking about going after the baby gets here. I am excited! Also! I have one more quarter and I am done with high school! I can move on with life! Haha! In Feb. Rory and I are planning on moving into an apartment with Tiffany and John. It is good to have friends that have so much in common with you! Tiffany and I get a long great! As well as John and Rory, we all do actually. It helps that they know how it is to be married and have a baby as well. They are much more mature than a couple of our other friends, and it is just easy to be around them and their very cute daughter! I am excited and I hope this will all work out! So when I was younger, during Halloween season, my dad would always take me to the haunted houses. It was always so much fun! Now, this Thursday, dad, Rory, me, and my nephews, Jace, Jaxon, and Tyson are going to a haunted house! I am excited! Well I better get going to and finishing up with my work! Love you all!

Being pregnant, and this new thing inside of me.

So, since finding out I was pregnant, I would tell Rory everyday, I am so surprised I have NO symptoms! I thought, "Hm, maybe this will be one of those perfect pregnancies!" Oh boy was I wrong! My so called morning sickness has hit, and it hit HARD! And who ever thought to call it morning sickness was probably a guy thinking this sickness was all in our head so once noon struck it would all go away, think twice buddy! Man, I feel like I can not go an hour with out eating, or guess what? That pukey feeling, where your mouth waters up, and you do that ugly run to the toilet, appears. So, my hero, Rory, bought me some Preggy Pop Drops, oh boy, LIFE SAVERS! Oh and have you ever heard of a girls boobs falling off? Because I swear mine are trying to! They hurt! And my sense of smell, I feel makes me related to blood hounds. Other than the down sides of pregnancy, this whole thing has brought Rory and I so much joy. We are so excited to meet our little peanut. Today, I am 7 weeks pregnant. Strange to say eh? It is such an amazing feeling to know that Rory and I have created a life. We are so excited for all the this life is going to offer us. I know Rory and I will make wonderful parents, and still have our strong relationship. I love Rory so much, and I love him even more for all of the support he is giving me right now. I know our life with be spent with eachother forever and ever and after. Love you all!

Big News!

Well Rory and I have some big news. Not only did we just celebrate our one month wedding anniversary, we also found out we are expecting number one. We are about four weeks along, which makes this special bundle, a honey moon baby! Although we were quite shocked, we are also very excited! We are ready to welcome a new Hoffman into our world and lives. Our families are extatic! We never expected this to happen so quickly, but it did, and we are ready for it. God has not blessed us once but twice! We were blessed to find eachother and fall in love more and more each day, but we were also blessed with a product of our love. This is a huge step into the real world, but we are ready for this. As we are excited, a lot of nervousness comes a long as well. Mostly about the baby and Shelby's health. We know though, that everything will be okay. Its funny, Shelby has NO symptoms, and the only way she and I really knew is that we just knew in our hearts. The feeling was there and it was strong and undenied! After her being a week late, I woke her up on saturday, September 26, at 7 in the morning. Even though she knew she was from the start, she told me " its going to be negative, don't get to excited!" I knew though, and so did she, so when she ran in and sat on the bed with tears and a smile, it was just confirmed! It turned positive before she could even get off the toilet! We are so excited! I knew, not only because of my feeling, but because she cried over a song! Than, I teased her saying your being a waa waa, and she was hysterical! Haha oh these emotions should be fun! Lots of changes are coming, but we are prepared for what life has in store for us. When we told Shelbys mom, Shelby was much to afraid, so I did it. In the middle of the Expo center with Shelbys mom's best friend there. I said Guess what! Shelbys pregnant! Her friend was excited, Shelbys mom, she was unprepared! But now she is excited. For Shelbys dad and my family, Shelby wrote a poem, and I had the idea of putting the poem on a picture of a bun in the oven, I will post the picture. My family is VERY excited! This will be the first Hoffman baby. Shelbys dad was shocked, but excited. We know this will bring a couple of ups and downs, but it will also bring us even more closer and we will just keep falling more and more in love! We love you guys!

Mr. and Mrs. Hoffman

We're married! Finally and perfectly, we are married. It was the most perfect yet stressful day that turned out to be so wonderful and the best day of my life, but I really can not say the best day of my life with a full heart because every day with eachother is the best day of my life. This is the most perfect feeling. We are speechless about how happy we are. The day was beautiful. Everything was perfect. I was completely stressing out because every day for this whole month it said thunder and rain storms the day of our wedding. Our wedding was outside with no tents so it would not be good if it rained on us and our 100 guests. I stressed, cried, crossed my fingers, wished on every 11:11, and every shooting star and prayed. I guess it worked, because even though even on the day of the wedding it said high chance of rain, the weather could not have been better. Although it rained just 30 minutes before the wedding, it is good luck. Ha. During the wedding though, it was incredible. God really did answer our prayers. Rory kept telling me "please don't worry hun! It will so perfect" He was totally right, but it was far more than perfect. I am so glad to call him my husband. We waited so long for this, and it is so much better than I ever predicted it to be. We are so in love, and it just keeps growing stronger and stronger. Our life together is perfect. Although, every once in a while, we can argue and fight, it makes us stronger. At the end of the day, we are holding each other tight and loving and laughing. I know our eternity and after will be spent with eachother, and falling morea and more in love with eachother. Together forever and ever and after and always in love with eachother forever and ever and after and always happy with eachother forever and ever and after. We love eachother and our new families!

P.S. I had both of my dads walk me down the aisle, it was adorable and really touching.
