Life Update

We have had a lot of changes happen for us since the last time I posted. Let me just get right to it.

April:
12th - I turned 23! To celebrate we went to a Jazz game with my sister Kamilla. That was my first NBA game, so it was a great way to celebrate.
21st - We found out we were having a baby! It was actually my parents 26th wedding anniversary, so it was pretty cool to find out that day we were giving them their 1st grandchild!

May:
3rd - My seasonal tax job ended.
7th - Brandon's internship with the Church ended. Unemployment began for the both of us.
12th - Mother's Day! We told both of our families we were expecting baby Henrich. My mom cried when we told her. It was awesome!

June:
3rd - First doctor's appointment at 10 weeks and 3 days. The pregnancy was confirmed and my due date was estimated to be December 27th. This was the first day we got to see our little baby.
18th-25th - My mom came into town! Jessa started the summer semester at BYU so we were able to spend some time with my mom. I loved every minute of it.
24th - Second doctor's appointment at 13 weeks and 3 days. My mom was able to come with us to the doctor and was able to hear the baby's heartbeat. That was a really cool moment for all of us.

July:
15th - Third doctor's appointment at 16 weeks and 3 days. This was the day we found out we were having a baby GIRL! I thought for sure it was going to be a boy, so I was pleasantly surprised. Brandon also accepted a job at NBS (National Benefit Services).
22nd - Brandon started his job as a Compliance Specialist in the Welfare Department.

August:
12th - Fourth doctor's appointment at 20 weeks and 3 days. We had another ultrasound and it was reconfirmed that our baby is girl. They took a good look at all of her organs and everything looks great!
26th - 2nd wedding anniversary. I can't believe its already been two years!
31st - Moved into our new apartment. We are now living in Taylorsville (about 20 minutes south of Salt Lake) in a two bedroom one bathroom basement apartment. It is a little small, but it will work for now :) We were also able to see my dad and sisters! They drove all the way from SC to here so they could have a car with them at school. It was so nice to see my dad for a few days, and he was a big help with our move as well.

September:
3rd - I started back to work part time for the tax extensions season. I will be working until October 15th (the tax extensions due date) and then after that I will be able to work from home part time.
9th - Fifth doctor's appointment at 24 weeks and 3 days. Everything is still looking great with baby girl. She is growing like a weed and weighs almost 2 pounds!

I think that is all of the excitement we have had over the past few months. We have so many things to look forward to. I am going to be in SC from Oct 22-29 and I can't wait! I haven't been home in over a year and I miss it dearly. I will be 30 weeks (about 7 1/2 months) pregnant so I will be HUGE! We have so many things we still need to get our baby girl. One pretty important thing we need to come up with is a name. Yes, she is still nameless. At least we still have about 15 more weeks to think and agree on one!

Now here are some pictures for your enjoyment!
