My Baby Shower

I had a baby shower on June 27 in my in-laws backyard. It was such a pretty day. We got a ton of helpful stuff. We had a pretty good turn out too. We just had an open house so people could come and go as they please. The blanket that is on the bench next to me was made by Brock the night before, it was his daddy project. He had fun making it. Below are pictures of the diaper cake that Brock and His mom made and the pack-and-play that Uncle BJ and Aunt Zoey baught us for Emma (Brock and BJ puting it together). He took an active roll in the shower it was so cute!! We had so much fun with it. We are so greatful for all those who helped put it together and those who attended. We got a TON of gifts!! We are so blessed and lucky to have so many people around who care about us and the well being of our future Emma. Thank You all very much!!!

THEY ARE ENGAGED!!!!!!

Hopefully they won't get mad at me for this, but I am so excited. My younger brother Justin and his girlfriend Allie are ENGAGED!!!! They are so meant to be together. They met while Justin was on his mission in Montreal Canada. Her dad was a bishop in the area he was serving. And about a week after he came home, they were officially dating. Now a year and a couple months later they are GETTING MARRIED!! They have not set a date yet. But this is a picture of her georgous ring!!It is so pretty!! I am so excited for you guys. This just means Emma gets another Aunt when she gets here. YAY!!!!!!!

Peanuts New Name

Yep its a GIRL!! Her name as of now is Emma K Petersen. We picked a middle inital, K stands for Kristine, Brock's mom's name but we thought Emma Kristine Petersen was too long so we went witha K. We had our ultrasound on Friday May 1st our Anniversary. It was so cool to see that. Brock was facinated with seeing her move and the detail of the ultrasounds. The radiologist when viewing the gender said that we could not ask for a better view to tell us. I was kind of shocked because I was convinced it was a boy. Brock says he knew it was a girl the whole time. The gender shot was the only shot she cooperatied really well with, the 4D shots she would not give us a view of her face but I love this picutre both of her hands by her face, she sleeps like I do. I always have my hands by my face when I sleep. He says this is the best anniversary gift ever to be getting a baby girl. We went shopping and I can see that this is going to be a problem in the future. I had to keep Brock under control. First we went to register at Babies R Us and then we bought some clothes to start our stash.

I love this shot when the radiologist was trying to view her spine to make sure everything look ok she started arching her back and strarted stretching and we got to watch her do that! It was so sweet, I told Brock that she stretched just like he does. When all was said and done the radiologist said everything looked great and she was measuring 2 days ahead of schedule at about 12 oz and between 9 and a half to 10 inches. And to top it all off Saturday night we were watching a movie at BJ and Zoey's house and she was kicking and Brock got to feel her kick for the first time. It was such an awesome weekend!!!!!!

Baby's First Easter

Well its kinda Baby's first easter. This is the haul this little one made off with this year and it's not even here yet. I can't wait to see what next year brings!! From the Petersen Easter Bunny we got a basket with a bear, white onsies (we are antisipating diaper issues early), baby bathroom kit with clippers, toothbrush, medicine droppers, etc and travel size baby wash supplies. From the Haworth Easter Bunny we got a shovel and bucket in anticipation of using it at the beach next summer with a rattle, binkies and a way cool toy ball with a monkey on top. Other way good news is that Brock is done with his EMT-Basic class. He got the second highest score in the class on his written test, and on his skills (practicals) test he was the second to last person to perform and his instructor told him he had the best set of skills he had seen all day and he gave Brock a "SUPERB" notation. He just has to take the state skills test on April 25 and before that he will schedule and take his state written test which he will pass with flying colors!! Peanut and I are so proud of Daddy!!

Today's doctors appointment.

Today i had my second doctors appointment, everything went awesome. I got to listen to the heartbeat again. 157 beats per minute. It was a little slower today than last time. But we are still on track. 6 weeks from today we have our gender ultrasound! We are so excited for that. My next appt is on April 23.

Introducing. . . .Peanut!

This is Peanut!! Brock took one look at the ultrasound and he named the baby Peanut. :) We had our first appointment on February 20. Where the Dr. told us our due date is Spetember 21, 2009. It was so fun to have these ultrasound pictures done, Brock and I were all smiles. It was amazing to hear the heartbeat too. 179 beats per minute. We get to find out the sex on May 1 which is awesome cause that will be Brock and my 5th Anniversary! Things have been crazy around here, Brock and I have moved in with Brock's parents to save some money for the baby. Brock is still going to his EMT class two nights a week. I am still working and growing a baby. (Full time job!) It has been the most unique time of my life, I have had nausea pretty much all day from week 7 through week 10. This week has been pretty good as my first trimester comes to a close in about a week. I can't wait to find out what it is but I get so excited about every Dr's appointment I have. My next one isn't til March 20 but I can't wait.

New Info!!

Hey all! For those of you who don't know Brock and I are expecting out first baby in late September. I was going to wait until after our first appointment to do more of an announcement but all the 3 prople who check our blog already know from my facebook. But as for now our prospective due date is September 25 which is kinda cool. I am not one who would have wanted a late summer baby but sometimes these things are out of our hands. It seems the Lord thought it was time for us to be parents. We are so thrilled to be parents, for those of you who know how Brock feels about this particular subject, he wasn't quite ready. He is way excited about it now!! He has been so helpful, the last couple of weeks I have had nausea pretty much all day every day and he is so sweet and considerate about how I am feeling. Plus we are going to be moving in with his parents for up to a year to help us make a better start for this little angel, so that has been interesting where Brock is in an EMT class that takes up his Thurdsay nights and Saturdays. So we are trying to do as much packing and we can on the weeknights so we can move stuff to our storage bay on Saturdays after he gets done with class. Anyway I will giva a better update after our first appointment on Feb 20th. Maybe even an ultrasound our two!!

Brock's favorite Winter Past-time!

This kid is so funny. When it first snowed really enough for him to plow he would call or text me from work and ask if anyone has plowed our driveway yet. He would tell me to start throwing snowballs if anyone tried to do his job. He would do our driveway, his parents, my parents, and any neighbors that had not yet done it and if he was really ambitious he would go do our church. He is so funny, I just love that guy!!

Christmas at the Haworth's

This was christmas at my mom and dad's house. We did christmas the day after cause Allie, Justin's girl-friend, flew in that day. Brock got tools and a car calendar, I got more cricut cartridges and jewelery and a calendar. We got an emergency kit together. It was fun we had ham and potatoes for dinner and we played the Office game my parents got.
