Oh Baby Baby - -




Yes - as many of you are now speculating Marshal and I will be extending our family by 1. We tried for some time and over the last 8 years it has never happened. Well we decided in June that it absolutely would not be a good idea to get pregnant my last year of school and we would try closer towards graduation. In June I made an appointment for a laproscopic surgery consult to help with the endometriosis and they kindly informed my that no I would not be having the surgery but rather I would be having a BABY!

After such a long wait I thought I would be ecstatic but instead I have been sicker than a dog and have spent the last 4 months telling heavenly father that his timing was all wrong. I knew I was too big of a sissy to finish school and have a baby so my emotions were pretty pesamistic. I couldn't get the guts up to tell anyone I was pregnant except Adrianne of coarse who guessed!! Marshal on the other hand said at least once a day - "I've got to tell someone" We finally agreed on his Birthday we would just tell everyone at once. In our family we do this "POEM" thing were we write funny poems for special occassions - it sounds corny but it gets pretty good laughs - so here is our little ANNOUNCEMENT POEM

Sending A Little Letter Your Way –
To See How You Are Doing Today –


I Must Admit It Has Been Quite Awhile –
But Next Time I See You I Will Be Wearing A Smile –

I Have Been Holding A Hug That Is Only For You –
And Hope When We Meet You’ll Give Me One Too –

I Bet You Are Wondering What This Is About –
So Here Are Some Clues to Help You Out –

I Have Little Fingers And A Little Nose –
And Mom Hopes I Don’t Get My Dad’s Big Toes –

I Don’t Know If I’ll Have Lots Of Hair On My Head –
But I Bet There’s A Good Chance That It Will Be Red –

Mom Of Course Wants Me To Be A Barrel Racing Girl –
Dad Wants A Boy to Throw A Rope and Give B-Ball A Whirl

Little Do They Know I Am Just What I Should Be –
And Can’t Wait To Get There And Meet The Family –

BOY or GIRL – guess you’ll have to wait and see
Since mom and dad thinking not knowing will be fun for everybody

I Still Have Lots of Growing To Do, To Prepare for Life on Earth
The Doctors Say January 20th Is My Expected Day of Birth –

I can’t think of a Family I’d rather come to
Surrounded by people as great as you.

See you all Soon Little Baby M


Finally -- after a few ultrasounds - I have changed my tune to "School Schmool" I suppose I would rather fail school and have fun having a baby and being a mom than anything else so we are now just going to take it day by day. Not only that but shopping for baby clothes... is so fun.

I am 4 months along and they moved the date again - so sometime mid-January we will be having a he or a she - we decided to wait and be surprised on the gender.

I am open to any and all advice. I know nurses should know a lot about taking care of babies but I did avoid pediatrics like the plague because it is so sad when kids are sick.

Jaime And Tyrell said...

CONGRATS!! I'm so excited I had heard that you were but I kept waiting for you to announce it on your blog to know it was true. You guys will be great parents. I hope you feel better!!

Krazy Keetch's said...

We live in Utah, Lehi that is. Just behind Cabelas. We don't make it up to Malad much, but it is a cute little town.

Promise the morning sickness goes away. After that the cravings start and then you, well, you know, GET FAT! It's nice to have 9 months to not worry about your figure!! Take care!. Keetch says Congrats to ya!

Shaw Family said...

Congrats! Hope you get to feeling better soon! Your blog is great and I enjoy reading it!

Michelle said...

YAY!!!! Oh, I wish I had known when I saw you Sunday. I agree with everyone else - you will make very cute parents! One trick that helped me with the sick part was vitamin B6 and Unisom. 1/2 of each always did the trick when I started feeling yucky. I was lucky 'cuz it helped with both of mine. That is just so neat - Congrats!!! (and happy birthday, Marshal).

Jillene said...

Congrats, I am so excited for you. I remember when I was pregnant and sick going through the nursing program and it was so stinkin hard but in the end it all worked out and to make it all better, there was a cute little baby to come home to. Good luck and were so excited for you.

Ann said...

MISTY!!!Of course I remember you. I also remember how cute and smart you were as a third grader. Now you are just downright gorgeous. You Martinsen's make a striking couple.

Congratulations on your new arrival. Life will change for you now. It only gets better and better.

We are so excited for you guys! Bummer about being sick, hopefully that fades the further along you get. You are going to be the cutest pregnant person!

Chandler and Angie said...

That's awesome you guys! I totally sympathize with going to school and being sick. I had to run out of one of my final presentations to throw up. Luckily my professor was understanding after he found out it wasn't contagious. Congratulations!

The Mothership said...

Shopping for baby clothes and making blankets & quilts is such fun. Be sure to let us when the new addition arrives. Love Aunt Kathy & Uncle Brent
