You are observant, diplomatic and often aim to please. You are unaware of your
attractiveness and despite being uncomfortable with any form of attention, people enjoy your company. You can be impatient, stubborn and headstrong, but you are true to your word and mature for your age, often taking care of your family and enjoying a good book over chatting with girlfriends on the phone.

Yay...I love Bella...see Linda. Now when you say you don't like her, you will be taking a personal stab at me! haha. JK!

ITS A BOY!!!

Well, we went to our ultrasound yesterday and found out that "it" is a "he." I feel good having a proper pronoun to call him. Here are all the details!

First, Jer came home from work early to go with me. He brought me these roses - so gorgeous!! It was so sweet to do that for our ultrasound!

Then we went to our appointment and I had my 8 ounces of water an hour before plus about 12 more ounces. I was thirsty. By the time we got there I needed to pee so bad. The lady at the desk said the ultrasound lady is running about 20 minutes behind and that I couldn't pee. That sucked. We finally went back and she started! How exciting to see our baby on that little screen!!

She saw and measured the brain and looked at the kidneys and bladder and measured the arm to make sure they were long enough and she said they were actually really long. She looked at more things and measured things and then she came to the goodies. She said, "well its a boy, if you deliver and they try to give you a girl, don't take it, because this is definitely a boy!" At least she sounded confident! Jer was so excited and I started crying. It was just so emotional to see our baby up there on the screen.

Then she got a sideways shot of the whole body and you could see the arms moving all around and I started giggling. Jer was like, "what's so funny?" I said I didn't know but just kept on giggling. I kept apologizing to the lady because it shook the whole screen when I laughed and that just made it funnier. Really nothing was that funny but I was so emotional that is just how I reacted. The lady finally stopped and waited for me...probably slightly annoyed, but I couldn't help it! She said he weighs 10 ounces and about the length of a hot dog bun (is that really the best thing she could relate my baby to?) According to size, my new due date is March 15th, but they won't change it at the hospital unless it is at least 10 days off so we are keeping the 19th, but its really the 15th.

Then she printed our pics and we went next door to our other doctor appointment and I walked up to the counter and said I have a check up appointment, but can I pee in the cup NOW???because I can't hold it anymore (at this point I had been holding it for over an hour!). The doctor saw us and it was just a normal doctor appointment. He looked at all the ultrasound pictures and I got a flu shot and some blood taken. Both on my left arm so it was funny when we left I had two bandaids on my arm. I looked like a druggie.

Here are the pics she gave us. Its only 4 and the "boy" one isn't good at all. It was better when she showed us but I probably giggled before she took it and now you can't even tell by this picture. My doctor couldn't tell either. Owell though. My doctor got tons of pictures and we got a measely 4. Kind of sucks. But they are super cute!

Then we went to dinner and did some shopping. We bought our baby a build a bear. That was fun and we put all our love in it. It was really cute. Jer dressed him, it was so cute. Then we did some shopping for some more maternity clothes and I got a few pair of pants and a shirt. I also got a band to wear on your back cuz my back has been KILLING ME! We went and looked at a bunch more cribs and rocking chairs. Then came home.

Such a great evening! Jer and I were giddy all night!

To answer everyone's question: No, no names picked out yet but I will be happy to take some suggestions. We are looking for something very unique not too popular but fits us. I thank Janelle for offering "blanket, Jeramie Jr., and Lane II" but I would like some more help! LOL

Grandpa's Birthday!

I believe!!

So I got in my car this morning for my two-minute drive to work. As I was getting in, I was listening to 97.1. They have a dream analysis lady call in every week or so and people can call in and share their dreams. Then she tells them what they mean. I thought…I should call in and share my dream about my grandma (even though I never would). And no lie, the first caller called in and said that her grandpa recently passed and she had a dream that he came back and said he was spending time with them and with her grandma everyday and he will help them get through this, but everything is ok.

I was thinking, “Whoa!” That is so much like the dream that I had even though different things happened in our dreams, same basic concept (I posted a description of my dream a few days ago if you have no idea what I'm talking about). The dream lady said that it needs no interpretation and that it was her grandfather coming to visit her through her dream. When we sleep our wavelengths are just right for this to actually happen!

Keep in mind this is what came on in my two minutes of driving. Of course I sat and listened to it in my car when I got here, but I feel like I was meant to hear it – what is the chances of that being on in my short car ride? It really makes me feel so good about my own dream. I definitely believe it was my grandma coming to talk to me. Makes me so happy!

VOTE!!

I added a poll to my sidebar. Vote to share what you think we are having! Boy or Girl????

Such a Great Dream

So, two nights ago, I had a really good dream. I was at Castle (my old work) and they had the biggest cafeteria. It was like being at a mall cafeteria. I saw my grandma (who just passed away) there and she was eating lunch with Kelly, Katrina and Linda. I remember seeing her and she was so beautiful. Her hair and make up were perfect and she looked so good. She had a glow to her, but she was human. I ran up to her and hugged her and asked her why she had to leave us. I told her how upset I was and that I missed her. She told me not to worry and that everything is great. She said that all souls have 1 million days to spend on this planet. They can spend it in as many bodies as they would like and her 1 million days were over, so she had to leave, but that we shouldn't be sad, that everything is ok.

I don't remember much more than that but I woke up so happy and relieved. I don't know if this was just my imagination or something much more, but I felt so good when I woke up and I just feel so much better about everything that happened. I still miss the hell out of her, but it just seems like things are a little calmer in me now. I always remember my dreams or at least parts of them and maybe she knew that and that's why she wanted to come visit me. I don't know..seems strange, but maybe.

Thought I'd share. Something I definitely want to remember!

Happy Birthday Gentry!!

Today is my cousin Gentry's 31st birthday. He passed away a year and a half ago and we really miss him.

G - I hope you are having a good time up there doing anything and everything you want. Grandma came up to be with you...take care of her for us! I miss you and love you!

Gentry Jon Bauer
Gentry Jon Bauer "G" "True to the Ones I Love" We have lost a radiant light in our lives. Gentry Jon Bauer left behind an adoring group of family and friends on February 5, 2007. Gentry was born in Salt Lake City on Oct. 1, 1977 to Linda Mattsson Blake and Jon Bauer. He spent his childhood years playing basketball and soccer, spending time at his family's cabin in Torrey, Utah, and delighting his family with his exploits and practical jokes, mainly at the expense of his older brother Cade. He attended Skyline High School where he formed the band Hospital Food with his friends Chris, Luke and Steve. The band ultimately recorded two CD's and was signed with New School Records, which produced the CD "Medicate." Some of Gentry's favorite experiences were the band's tours through the western United States. Gentry was a gifted drummer and the great passion in his life was music, both listening and performing. Gentry had a very special relationship with his grandparents (The Two Big Gs). His experiences with them were among the most significant of his lifetime. Gentry loved to travel and loved experiencing the vibrance and energy of big cities. He spent many happy summer vacations at Lake Powell and Torrey. At the time of his death Gentry was the manager of The Pie in Midvale, Utah. Gentry's heart and soul will forever reside within the loving relationships he built during his life. We will miss him forever. Gentry leaves behind his parents Jon Bauer and Linda and Ed Blake; brothers Kincade (Janelle) Bauer, Chris (Jenny) Blake, and Adam Blake; grandparents Duane and Twila Mattsson, Thelma Bauer and Bob and Velma Blake; special aunts Kelly (Rick) Valleley and Katrina Raphaell and uncle Lane Mattsson; cousins Sim, Shanda, Payton and Dahlia; and the love of his life, Heather Bosen. Kiss, kiss, kiss, love, love, love, hug, hug, hug - I love you the most INFINITY. Mom Little did I know how deep you would run and the complexity and tenderness of your soul when I first looked into your eyes the day you were born. I wish I could have held your hand more often and been with you at the end of your journey, but be assured, Gentry, you will be with me and I with you forever and always. Save me a place - it will be the best seat in the house (the one by the drummer). I love you, Dad. G I have lost my brother and my best friend. I am so proud of all that you accomplished in your life and so thankful for all the laughs, smiles, jokes, and music I could share with you. A trip to NYC or Powell, our family dinners, and every holiday will never be the same. I cannot fathom a life without you and I will miss you so dearly. I love you G. Cade Goodnight my love, my snuggle bug, I'll find you in my dreams. I love you pumpkin. Heath G, I will miss our talks about great music and your ability to make me laugh. You are loved by many.
