We went in on Tuesday for a doctors appointment thinking that we were going to find out what we are having. I had my Mom and sister and the phone so they could find out with Cor and I. The doctor tried and tried for the baby to move so that we could tell but the baby had other plans in mind haha. I think that my mom and sister were more disappointed than we were that we couldn't find out. Luckily, we have another appointment in three weeks so we will find out then. 

I got back from Utah about three weeks ago and I got a bad cold while I was out there. I am finally feeling better now, thank goodness, but I can't believe how different it is to be sick while your pregnant, at least for me. For a about a week I couldn't really eat or drink anything and whenever I coughed or sneeze I would start gagging, WEIRD!!! I'm so glad that I'm getting better. I sure can't wait to find out what this little peanut is. 

Wow so much has changed since I have last blogged, maybe that's because it's been over a year haha. Cor and I moved to St. Louis and bought a house close to his parents. Cor is working for his dad's company and going to school full time. He is so busy all the time but we are very greatful that he will be done with school next year. I am working at Barnes Jewish Hospital and it is a HUGE adjustment. It is one of the biggest hospitals in the country and has about 10,000 employees. Talk about a huge change from our hospital in Richfield where there is only about 30 beds in the whole hosptial. It has been very different but hopefully I can get a job at a smaller hospital.
Now for the really fun news, Cory and I are expecting.YAY!!! We are beyond excited and can't wait to meet our little baby. I decided to take a test one morning not thinking that anything of it and to my suprise it immediatley came up positive. It was 7:00 in the morning so I had to wake cor up to have him look at the test. I kept saying "is this real", well sure enough it was. We were so excited that of course we couldn't go back to sleep. I needed help telling my family, since I live half way across the country, so I told Whitney so she could help me tell the rest of my family.  She was talking to an adoption agency at the time so we had everyone thinking that she was getting a baby. She told the family that she had something to tell them and wanted me on skype to hear the news. I called Ashley and asked her if she knew what was going which really through her off cause she knows that Whit and I tell each other everything. When Whit got home she had all the family get together and Cory and I were there on skype. She gave my parents the present and when my dad pulled out the little outfit he didn't know what to think until he read to the card. It said, to Grandpa and Grandma love baby Baum due Feburary 22, 2013. They all started cheering and I of course started crying haha. It was so fun to finally tell them.
We told Cory's family the same one but in person. His mom pulled out the little outfit and she said "this isn't going to fit Baxter, who is this for". When they read the card they were so excited. This will be the first grandchild in their familly
Right now I am 14 weeks. I just got out of my first trimester, thank goodness. No it really hasn't been that bad. The worst part was that I was always tired. Our baby is the size of lemon. We find out what we are having at our next appiontment. My mom is convienced that it's a girl but Cory and I really don't care what we are having.
     
       Pregnancy Symotoms:

        I have to eat about every two hours or I get really nauseated.

         The thought of meat makes me want to throw up.

         I am not as tired but I get worn out easy.

         My pants are starting to get a little tight
       
         I haven't felt the baby yet but I can't wait for that
                                      

We feel so blessed to be able to be pregnant. It has been the best thing that ever happened to either of us. I am a very inpatient person so Febuary can't come soon enough.

Girls Trip!

On Saturday my Mom, Sisters, Grandma and I went up to Salt Lake for the day. We met My Aunt Holly and her girls and my Aunt Meagan and Marti when we got up there. We went to get at the Cheese cake Facotory, which was so good, and ate lunch. During lunch I of course spilled my drink all over the table and my lap. I look like peeped my pants for most of the day but I just laughed whenever someone looked at me funny. After lunch my Aunt Holly and her girls had to leave while the rest of us went, of course shopping! We wanted to get our makeup done so we went into bare minerals and had them do it for us. It was so much fun to have some else fix us up. After we were done shopping we went to the Women's Expo. Marti was truly in heaven. She was having a the time of her life there. She got her makeup done and her eye brows waxed. She was so dang funny! It was SO much fun to be with all the girls. We definitely don't do it often enough. I love being with my family. I love them all so much! Thanks for such a good day girls. It was a BLAST!

She is such an amazing women. I love her!!

Suprise visit to St. Louis

Cor hadn't seen his brother Josh in almost four years so he really wanted to be there when he got home from his mission. We wanted to suprise everyone but of course Cor had to tell his siblings that we were coming but his Mom, Dad and Josh all didn't know, well kinda. The weekend that we were flying out to St. Louis  his dad was going to be in Utah and he wanted to come down and see us so we had to tell him that we were going to be in St. Louis haha. Of all the weekends he was going to be in Utah it had to be that weekend. He found out about a week before we went out there but his mom and Josh still didn't know. His cousin Jake picked us up from the airport and took us to Cor's parents house. Shelley was doing dishes and had her back to us. Cor said "hey" and she turned out and got a huge smile on her face. She kept saying "what are you guys doing here?" It was so fun to suprise her. Josh claims he knew that we were coming but I don't think he really did. I'm so glad that we made that trip out there. It was so fun to FINALLY meet Josh and to be with his family.

 Steve's company has fourth row seats to the Cardinals games so we got to go. It was a BLAST!!!!!!
