Pictures

Here is Caitlin just a couple days ago. Tomorrow she will be full term at 40 weeks and she is still not having any contractions. We will have to see what happens in the next couple days hopefully she will start to go into labor so she can once again "have a stomach!" that is according to her. We are both super excited for our new arrival. Don't know if we can wait much longer.

How Much Longer

Well today we went to the doctor to do a check up on caitlin and see how she is coming along. She is officially 40 weeks this Saturday and it is looking like Tanner doesn't want to come unless he makes an entrance. Caitlin is 80% effaced. That is up from 60% a week ago but still not what she was hoping for. I have pictures to post and will do that soon. I don't dare say when last time I did I never got around to it.

Check out HE@#(@=c #=k)

What a couple days we have had. On Wednesday we went to the doctor for Caitlin's check up. She is 36 weeks and is about to be done and is more then ready when ever Tanner feels it appropriate. Yesterday and today have been a complete nightmare for us. We being the managers have the resposiblity to check every apartment and clean when everyone is moved out. Thanks to Caitlin her mom, Dianne, her brother, Iain and Carrie, the old manager, and roger the owner we have all but 3 apartment cleaned and ready for people to move in with the exception of cleaning the carpets which won't be done until monday so the night mare lives on. But thank you to Dianne and Iain for all your help. Tommorrow i will post pictures so be ready

ONE AWESOME WEEKEND

Let us begin by saying thank you to everyone. We can definately feel the love that you all have for us. It all started on Friday around 6pm. That is when Candice, Caitlin's sister, got in from her flight from LA. We went over and spent time with the McDonald family and the girls made cookies while Iain and I played with both dogs, Bently and Kokoa. On Saturday, my family came and arrived around 1:45pm. We unloaded and at 2pm all the girls went to Caitlin's baby shower and my father and I went to go golfing. Cedar Ridge was closed for some turniment so my dad and i went to Mt Carmel's Golf course which is mostly a par 3 with 3 or 4 par 4. We had a blast and ended up playing the nine hole 3 times. My family, except me and my dad, went to sizzler and Caitlin and her family went to Ninja. My dad and i returned around 9:30 after looking around for land and animals. It was pretty cool we saw a lot of deer on the utah89. We, me and my father, went to eat at Don Miguel's Mexican Food. It was good and we then headed home. Caitlin began showing me all the things the all you awesome people got for us. We only got through about half of all the stuff and we called it a night

Sunday we all slept in except dad who went to sacrement. When dad got back I began making my infamous Crepes that everyone wants me to make everytime we have any visitors. We then all went to the front room to watch Hairspray. Almost all of us fell asleep but enjoyed the time together. After the movie Dad, Mom, Grandma, Aunt Laura, and Ariel all packed up and got ready to get on the road. They got on the road around 5pm and arrived safe at home by 10pm that night now a new week still looking for a job. Wish me luck.

The latest news...

Well a lot has happened since our last posting. as some of you may know we are managers at a student apartment complex. And it is a great thing. the best part of all is that we no longer have to pay any rent. The baby's due date keeps getting closer and we are trying to prepare for the arrival of Tanner (4-6 weeks left). also some recent news Nic was let go at his job from Wells Fargo which created a problem, we no longer have insurance for the baby. so we ( meaning me) are really stressing out about that. Nic is currently applying for jobs like crazy, hopefully one will work out soon. He also filed a complaint with Human Resources of Wells Fargo contesting his being laid off. And they offered him Severnce pay until the end of May which means we will have insurance until the end of June, so hopefully before June is over he will have a new job with insurance. well that is all that has gone on lately, we are really looking forward to having a new addition to our family soon.

What A Vacation

So we are home again after being able to spend almost a full week in Arizona with my Family. We left last Friday the 7th of March and we came home on Thursday the 13th. While we were down there a number of things were accomplished. The most important things are that I and my father were able to finish the crib that we started at Christmas and because my family will be up with Kera around the time that Caitlin will be having her baby shower, my family through her a surprise baby shower what follows next are the pictures of these two events

SORRY

So I feel real bad to those of you that read this as an update to our family. I haven't written in a real long time so i will try to do better. My wife and I went to AZ for Cmas. I started a crib for our first child, which we found out right after Cmas that we are have a boy(tanner tristan). My job still goes the same and i am still employed at Wells Fargo. The only big difference is that we have moved and once we clean it up I will take and post picks on here of our new and old place just to show a good comparison. We just finished getting all the stuff moved over here yesterday and still have a lot to go through, so until then. love ya all.

9 weeks and Counting

Well another wonderful week, or at least for me nic, has passed by. We didn't do a whole lot this week just school and work. Caitlin seems to be doing better and not quite as sick as she has been. This coming Tuesday will mark 9 weeks so that is pretty exciting, that means that hopefully she only has a couple of weeks before she should be feeling a lot better according to the doctor. Other than that the only thing that happened was that i played a little football yesterday with some friends and then Caitlin and i went to watch the heritage parade were the herd 1000 sheep and 3 missionaries down our main street. It was pretty Funny to watch.

Our Baby's first picture

To the side here is the first ultrasound picture we have of our new baby that is 6 weeks and 6 days along. There was a heartbeat of 146 which is excellent and everything looks like it is going good. Only words of encouragement from the doctor. Caitlin is getting a little less nauseated by the day which is good. Below is a Video of the ultrasound and the baby's heartbeat. Just press play at the bottom left corner to listen
