at 17 weeks...

finally feeling good. now I only get sick if I forget to eat, which happens more often than you would think. but I don't have morning sickness anymore. hallelujah!!! I am getting a little baby bump, but I haven't had to get new clothes yet, although they are getting tight. :)
Life is so good!

ER and money..and a blessing in disguise

so the ER decided it wanted to be visited on Friday night. Pain in the side starting at 5pm and continuing...we got into the ER about 12midnight. After a urine test, a percocet, and three hours later, we left the ER with the explanation that my round ligament had been overstreched. We paid $100 for the ER and then Saturday morning we sold our tickets to the BYU vs. Oklahoma game for $100 EACH...thank you thank you thank you! A blessing in disguise, those tickets came, to help us pay for the ER expenses that we didn't know were were going to have at the time that we recieved the tickets.
yeay for blessings!

OH MY GOSH!!!

so, we got a fed ex package on our doorstep today. Richard picked it up and realized that the Marriott Center ticket office had sent it, two day air mail. Well, as Richard opened it he was thinking...oh my gosh, this better not be the BYU vs Oklahoma game tickets that I asked for in May. And sure enough, that is what they were. Richard doesn't remember getting an email that he got tickets, and I don't remember being charged for them (50 dollars a piece, and I am suppose to be in charge of finances).
So we looked on our bank account history and found that we were charged 98.50 for the tickets way back in June and I don't remember that! :) hehe. But we have tickets to go to the game in TEXAS and no way to get there. So Richard is either trying to get one of his friends to get him there or we are going to sell them online. If you are interested in buying them or know someone who is, let us know!
Just one of those fun funny things that happen ONCE in a while! :) Too bad I can't go! :( I would have loved to.

"I hear the heartbeat, I hear the heartbeat"

Yesterday was our second doctors appointment. We are at about 15 weeks now, and since we last saw the doctor, our baby has grown from being a seamonkey to being an actual human being, with a heartbeat (still a seamonkey if you ask me, it is floating around in that unnatural goo inside of me). We saw a different doctor than before. The doctor we saw last time did all of the interrogation, and let me tell you that he was a hunk. Not married, not very old, very good looking...one of those guys you see as a doctor on a soap opera or something. Don't worry, I didn't fall for him or anything, but my husband was kinda uncomfortable that he was touching me and all that! :) haha.
Well, our doctor yesterday was an old, fat man, that made me smile. I enjoyed this second visit better. Maybe because there was no poking and prodding. But also I think it was the doctor, I liked him and the way he handled our situation. So he asked me to get up on the bench and lay down. We pulled up my shirt, and he applied a little jelly to the bottom of my belly. Then he pulled out this thing (that I have seen before, but Richard hasn't) that looked a little like a radio. And as soon as he touched the meter to my belly you could hear (quite loudly, might I add), the heartbeat of our little one. Richard just had this smiley, amazed look on his face! It was fantastic.
Afterwards, Richard asked the doctor, in a joking manner, if it sounded like a strong, male heartbeat. The doctor laughed and said, "I will not be the judge of that". We asked a few questions and then we were done. It was so much fun, I had a smile on my face all day!
We get to go see our doctor again in 4 weeks and then 3 weeks after that (at 22 weeks along) we get to recieve our ultrasound. I am excited not only to see the gender of our baby (which Richard is waiting for---he wants a boy!), but also to see how well our baby is growing. Is he/she going to be big or small? And is everything healthy. The doctor said that after they hear the heartbeat in the office, the chance of losing the baby is very very small. I think that is what I have been most afraid of, because that is the hardest thing, to lose a baby. So blessings and cheers to all those who have struggled through that, and come out triumphant. I love you!
Enjoy your day today! I will trying to keep you updated on our goings on. We are quite a boring crew, until this baby comes along, there won't be much to post. But come February, you better watch out. I will probably be so excited about everything that there will be 100 posts a day! TTFN!

Prayers for Grandma

We went to our Heward (my mom's side) Family Reunion this last weekend in Burley, ID. It was fun just to see all of my cousins and all of their babies. But the best part was that I got to spend time with my parents and my siblings. We get along so well that I think we could win any reality TV show if we were a team. I think we rock!!! Anyway, we have our reunion on Friday and Saturday.
Usually on Saturday we got pick up our other grandma, dad's mom, and bring her to the reunion to enjoy lunch with us. She and my Grandma Heward are pretty good friends. When I called her to tell her that Richard and I were coming into town to get some things and we wanted to pick her up, she refused, she didn't want to come. So I told my dad that she wasn't coming back with us and off we went. And while in town we all (my siblings, and my cousin and RIchard and I) decided we were going to see a movie. So after we got back and the reunion ended for the day, we went to see a movie. We saw the new Harry Potter movie, and since we went to a matinee AND we were in Idaho, it was only $4.50! Yes! $4.50 per person. It was a total of $22.50 for 5 of us. It was so happy.
Well we got back from the movie and my mom was trying to get a hold of my dad, who had left her a message saying he had taken my grandma Wilson to the hospital because she wasn't feeling well. So, Saturday afternoon my dad took her to the hospital and he didn't return home until 11:00 pm. Grandma is stable, but she has to go through more tests and don't know how much longer she will be in the hospital. Please pray for Grandma!

things that should have been done LONG LONG ago.

TWO THINGS...

First-

I finally, TODAY, did what I have been needing to do for over a year. I went to the Drivers Lisence division and to the Social Security office and changed my name...yes yes I did. I am now officially Allysa Wilson Beers, that is Mrs. Beers to you!!! :) I am excited about it. But now there is a lot of work to change my name on everything else: house title, bills, at work, at the bank, and so many other places, I am sure I will be finding these "places" for the next year. But it will be good! I am excited. And I think I finally decided to do it because I am having a baby. Yeay!

Second-

I need to put a block on my blog if I am going to be putting personal information about family and our baby on there. So I am going to need to give permission to see my blog. If you would like to be on the list, either send me a message with your email on this post, or email me the email that you use at allysa3@gmail.com.

TTFN, Loves, Allysa

So, Mckensie's baby

A couple weeks ago I was blessed with the privilege to visit my cousin McKensie (whom I referred to in a previous post), and her new baby. Finn is now two months old and he is so big and happy and I loved him. It made me really excited that I was pregnant. I spent four days with her and Finn and Caleb (McKensie's husband, whom I think is fantastic!). We had a good time. Just thought I would post that, I enjoyed my time with them and how amazing their little family is. I also, on the same trip, was able to visit my sister at school up in Idaho, and I had a blast being single for three days while I was up there, and then we went to our family reunion and everyone was happy to learn that I was having a baby. Life is so good!
