The Featherstone's: Baby

Well its official!!! After almost 5 years of marriage we are going to have a baby!!! We couldn't be more thrilled. I found out the morning of January 6th that I was pregnant and I just balled!!! We had been trying only for 3 months, I guess 3rd times the charm. The first person I told was actually the doctor at my work. I was scheduled to do a scaling on a patient that needed nitrous, and it can cause spontaneous abortions in pregnant women.....thus the problem. Well at least the 2nd person I told was Chris!! Later that night Chris and I had talked about going to dinner. I wanted to tell him at question mountain. Question mountain is where we used to go when we were dating, its the top of suncrest at this little park that over looks the entire valley. We would hang out up there and just get to know eachother when we were first dating, and it is also where Chris proposed to me. So I was trying to get him to go in my car....but he needed to put a new battery in his so we had to take his car. Then I had to convince him to let me drive....sheesh!!! You'd think I was pulling teeth! So it didn't take him long to figure out that we weren't on our way to dinner. He kept asking a million times where we were going, but I just kept driving. I thought for sure that he'd figure it out once we started going up the mountain, but he didn't. It was snowing pretty good and he was getting pissed because his car isn't the best and his brakes needed to be fixed. So the higher we went the more angry he got. Finally I pulled over and started to cry because he was being a real butt head. Then all sad I said " I wanted to tell you that you are going to be a father" Well that made him feel bad. He hugged me and then made me change positions with him. I had gotten him a little gift to open, but we waited till we were at the bottom to open it. It was a little blanket, onesie and nightgown for the baby.
We had always wanted to wait to tell anyone about the pregnancy until we were sure that everything was going to be okay......including our parents!!!! On Feb 12th we had our first doctors appointment. I was so scared. I had started spotting the day before and was worried that I might be having a miscarriage. The doctor did his exam and said that my uterus is tipped backwards (I'm sure you all wanted to know) so it might make it hard to see the baby. So we did an ultrasound and it came up empty so he decided to do an internal one......and there he/she was!!!! The nurse zoomed in on the baby and we could finally see the little heart beating like crazy!!!! It was the best feeling in the entire world to know that my little baby was alive a well. The Doctor admitted that he was a little worried at first but after seeing that he/she was all right he said that my chances of miscarriage dropped to 1-2% and that if he was a betting man that we would have a cute little baby!!!! I was balling when I saw that little heart beat!!! It was truly one of the best moments of my life. So I'm now officially 10 weeks along and due date is September 12th 2010!!!

Well one of my bestest friends in the world gave birth this week to the sweetest little boy Lucas Dean Hardy. He is adorable. I found out while I was at school and needed to shout it out! "I'm going to be....nothing." Much to my disappointment I will be nothing to this little boy so I came up with the phrase friendma....and I will be the best one he has. He came into this world February 10th at 9:56 and was 19 inches long and 6lbs 7oz. I admit I tried to sneak out of the hospital with him more than once, but decided I couldn't do that to the Court or Lindsey. :( I'm just excited that I get to babysit him in April while his parents are at Wicked. I can't wait!!!
The happy little family
