Our first curve ball

Well, on Friday I was officially laid off, 5 1/2 months pregnant. We were worried all weekend mostly about the medical benefit factor, since I was still under my employers plan. Not knowing if my pregnancy would be a pre-existing condition, keeping me ineligible to be added to David's insurance was extremely nerve racking for the both of us. Having a child with paying the high costs of COBRA caused a couple restless nights over the weekend. But yesterday we found out from David's HR Dept. that pregnancy is not considered as such and there should be no problem adding me to his policy.

Financially, David and I will be alright on his income, plus I will be able to collect unemployment for a while, we just have to budget a little better (but who doesn't right?!). On the more optimistic side of things, I can now rest and get everything ready for the arrival of our little son with plenty of time. Life just threw us our first unexpected curve ball since we've been married... but so far it looks as though we will be able to survive this new trial in our lives. We are thankful and blessed to know that the lord is watching over us.

Our One Year Anniversary

For our 1 year anniversary David and I were sealed in the San Diego Temple! I couldn't believe how beautiful this temple is, inside and out. It was great to have our family and friends share this special day with us.

David's grandparents came out from Utah to be there for our special day. It's always such a treat to see them and get to spend some time with them.

We stopped by pink berry for some yummy frozen yogurt and fresh fruit. Ever since we tasted this in Southern California in October I had been craving this, so David took me for a special treat on our anniversary and we enjoyed it!

The Price name lives on...

To our surprise we found that we are having a baby boy!

It was difficult for me to go back to work after my appointment as I was so excited and wanted to go look at baby stuff, brainstorm on how I want to decorate my little ones room, and when I should have my shower. For our family outing this evening we went to babies r us to check out some of the things we will need for our little baby. We are definitely in for some exciting times to come!

I've been kicked!

Here I am, almost 5 months pregnant! My baby belly is bigger, and I am starting to look pregnant instead of just chunky. Our little baby has been moving around and kicking like crazy! It's so awesome to feel it moving around, and for David to get to feel it from the outside. With all that action going on in there we are thinking we might be growing a crazy active hyper baby...but if it is, it will fit in well with it's many cousins! :)

Other than that, I am eating like crazy and continuing to put on weight. My back hurts all the time, and I am usually in bed knocked out before 9pm. But all in all, I am enjoying being pregnant. We have our ultrasound appointment tomorrow and get to find out the sex of the baby! We are so excited!

Next weekend we are taking a trip down to San Diego for our 1 year anniversary, sealing and my birthday! What a trip this will be! We have lots of family and some friends coming to share our special sealing day with us. My mother & step father are coming down, and we're going to enjoy spending Friday together for her birthday while the rest of the family enjoys Sea World.

We chose to be sealed on March 14th, the exact day of our 1 year anniversary. It's so crazy to think that we have been married a whole year! It has gone by so fast, but has been the best year of our lives. When people say the first year is the hardest, it definitely was not true for us.
