My ward had a baby shower for me a few weeks ago which has helped out quite a bit. My family in Utah will be having a "virtual shower" and I will join in on the internet. We have our crib and changing table set up, we got purple curtains with polka dots for the window and I've been making things to put on the walls. My Mom and Dad will be coming mid March to visit and see Lilly. This year we changed classes in Primary and we no longer teach the sunbeams. We now teach the 10 and 11 year olds. I think Presley enjoys this a little bit better because the children can participate and read more and have a slightly longer attention span. Next week Presley will take his test for his last class and he will officially be done with classes! Now he just has to study for his final exams and clinicals and he will be an RN We are deciding where we would like to do come September when our year lease is up for our apartment. It really just depends on where Presley finds a job I guess. Thursday, February 2, 2012
Baby Lilly will be here soon!
It's hard to believe I haven't updated my blog in such a long time and it's already 5 weeks into 2012. Our family is doing well. I stopped working just before Christmas to get ready for the Baby and have a little break in preparation to be a stay at home Mom. We are very excited with just a few weeks left.

Where has the Time Gone?
We are now 24 weeks along! I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone by, however I hear it gets slower towards the end. We found out a few weeks ago that we are having a GIRL and we are so excited. We like the names Abigail, Emily, and Lilly. We are highly considering Lilly. We have an appointment tomorrow and should have some new fetal face shots to post. My brother and his wife just had their first it is fun to see pictures of their growing family.
About a month ago, Presley and I got called to Primary. We teach the Sunbeams and it is quite the challenge. I think it will be good for Presley though since he hasn't been around children much. I think he secretly enjoys our class, but would never admit it. We had our Primary Program last week and it was fun to see our small children participate.
Presley has just 3 more classes left to finish his RN. We are looking forward to that since I won't be working much when the baby gets here. Presley enjoys his job and always comes home with some crazy stories about the patients that he transports.

"The First Trimester"
Week 1: Mom and Dad went on Vacation to SeaWorld and Universal Studios in Orlando Florida. At this point you were just a twinkle in our eyes.
Week 2 & 3: Mom and Dad were praying and hoping that we would get pregnant. We couldn't wait to take a pregnancy test.
Week 4: Mom took a pregnancy test and found out she was pregnant!
Week 5: Mom and Dad called their parents to tell them we were having a baby. They were very excited.
Week 6: Mom and Dad went to the Doctor and had our first ultrasound. You looked like a bean. you didin't have any arms or legs at this point. Your nose, mouth and ears were starting to take shape. You were about 1/4 of an inch long.
Week 7: Mom and Dad went to Spokane Washington for a family reunion with your Grandpa Keate's family. Mom started having morning sickness towards the end of the vacation. you are now 1/2 an inch long and your arms and legs are starting to develop.
Week 8: Mom and Dad went back to the Doctor for another ultrasound so that we could hear your heartbeat. It was beating over 14o times per minute. It was really neat to listen to. We contacted Dad's brothers to let them know you were coming. You looked like a bean that had sprouted with paddles for arms and legs.
Week 9: Mom is still having morning sickness. Your heart has finished dividing into it's four chambers. Most of your organs are all there, but need to keep growing. Your eyes and eyelids are formed but your eyelids won't open for another 18 weeks. Sometimes Daddy will put his mouth on Mommy's belly and sing to your or say, "Hello Little Baby!"
Week 10: You've started moving around and can move your arms and legs. Because you are so small we still can't feel you move yet. Your findgers and toes have formed and your fingernails are starting to appear. Daddy is gegtting more excited and talks to you often.
Week 11: You are about 1 1/2 inches long now. Your hands will soon open and close into tiny fists. Some of your bones are hardening and little teeth are starting to form. Mom is still sick but only about every other day now. Mom is starting to get a baby bump.
Week 12: Mom and Dad went to the Doctor for another ultrasound to make sure everything was going well. You look big, but you still have a lot of growing to do. It was cute, during the ultrasound you had the hiccups and we jumping around a lot. We are looking forward to meeting you soon! In a few weeks we will find out if you are a boy or a girl!
