Ultrasound for Baby Morrow...

My Aunt Anna is over the radiology at Madison Memorial Hospital, so last night she invited Taylor and I up to have an ultrasound to make sure we are having just one baby. I am developing a pretty large baby bump! I honestly can't believe how much my body has changed this last week.

Well Taylor wasn't able to go last night because he was working late so I took Grandma Bonnie. It was so fun to go with her. It was yet another great bonding experience for the two or us. Seeing the baby move makes this experience so much more real.

We found that are having just one baby. I tried to upload the pictures but they are super blurry. I got to hear the heartbeat much more clearly with the machine my aunt used. She is going to let me go up again in about 5 weeks and we will find out what we are having. SNEAK PEEK! whoo hoo. I am so excited for that! I will be a shop-a-holic after that!

I will have to upload some pictures of me so you can see that I am getting quite LARGE! If I keep growing at this rate I won't be able to walk for the last month or so of the pregnancy! haha.

Tomorrow is my birthday and also one year since Taylor and I got engaged! I can't believe how fast time flies! I sure love him. He is so funny. He is always cracking jokes. We don't go one day without laughing hysterically about something. In this last year we have grown so much closer together than I could ever imagine. We have had our rough days and we have had our great days. I wouldn't trade any of them because they always somehow make us grow closer together! We have been so blessed in the last year. We have wonderful families who have helped with anything and everything. Some who have spent countless hours helping us with our beautiful home. When I had surgery we had so many meals brought over and helped clean the house. The thing I am most grateful for in this last year of is the temple. Taylor and I are sealed for Eternity. I am happy to know that our children will be blessed to be apart of this wonderful blessing!

Baby...

We are going to have a baby!
The due date is February 18th, 2010!

I am about 10 1/2 weeks.

We are very excited for our family to grow.

I have been super sick the last two weeks. Lets hope that goes away soon! I also have put on the pounds the last week or so. Taylor thinks its quite funny. I didn't think that I would start showing so soon!

Hearing the heartbeat makes it so much more real. I could have sat and listened to it all day! In just 7-8 weeks we will find out if we are having a boy or a girl. Taylor says he already knows its a boy. I guess we will see...

Today we are off to a family reunion. TAYLOR HAS SATURDAY OFF!! WHOO HOO! That doesn't happen to often so I am excited to spend some time with him and the rest of my family.

I hope you guys have a great weekend!

4th of July weekend...

I haven't blogged in a while, I haven't been feeling to well. But I thought I would post about the stupid things that happened to me this weekend.

Taylor finally had a few days off we could spend together, so I thought. He and his dad decided to work instead. They can NEVER take some time off. It has its pros and cons I guess.

Saturday we slept in and we to breakfast. I couldn't remember the last time we did that so that was fun. Then we went a looked at Patio furniture since all we have out back are some chairs. We didn't find much though. Then Taylor and Scott prepped the side of the house for concrete, which I am not happy about incase you wanted to know. So I went shopping with grandma and it was so fun. I found some great deals. I got a super cute purse and then some super cute shoes for a great price. Then we went and ate at Grandma Morrow's and also went to Grandma Bonnie's for a BBQ too. Lots of food that day. After we ate i decided that I needed to change into pants because it was kinda chilly. (I am ALWAYS cold) So we came home and I had my cell phone in my pocket and I went into the bathroom and my phone fell out of my pants and into the toilet! SICK. Yes I had to put MY HAND IN THE TOILET! Good thing I hadn't gone to the bathroom yet! So I have lost everyone's numbers. So e mail them to me ... Lyndsi_lou88@hotmail.com if you don't want to leave them on here!! Luckily Shellie just got a new phone so she is letting me use hers for a few days until I can go get my new one. Then we went to the fireworks and came home.

Sunday Jason, Rachel, Chris and I headed to Boise to go visit my mom for a quick trip. When we got to Blackfoot I looked down and my main diamond in my wedding ring was GONE! I was sick to my stomach. I hadn't hit it on anything and I know when I left my house that it was there! I tore apart the car trying to find it. My grandma checked where I was at her house. Chris's parents checked their driveway and my grandpa even went and checked Maverick where i filled up with gas. We had no luck finding it. Today I took it in and Richard at Ingram's is like my 2nd father and they replaced it for me. I was thankful. Taylor would have killed me if he would have had to pay for another one! Needless to say it was added to our home owners insurance today!

We came back from Boise late last night. It was a quick trip but it was good to see mom. We did some shopping while the boys golfed.

Today Rachel and Chris found out they are having a little boy! We are excited for them. Congrats guys! We can't wait to meet him!

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July!

New book!

I ordered this book a week or so ago and it finally got here yesterday. I was diagnosed with Celiac disease 2 years ago. Celiac disease is where you body is intolerant to gluten, which is in wheat, rye, oats and barley. This disease is actually becoming pretty common. I have read many books and Internet articles and also tried many foods, some delicious and some pretty disgusting. My grandma and Shellie have also tried many recipes for me.

When Taylor and I first got married I would make two different things for dinner, and boy did that get old. So a few times I just made his food the way I make mine and he didn't notice. So now when I make Spaghetti or Lasagna I just make it with my noodles to make it easier on me. The Gluten Free foods are more expensive. I usually get them at Fred Meyers, Albertsons, or Broliums.

Going out to eat and eating at other peoples homes is a difficult thing for me. I try to eat before I go to other homes to make it easier on them and me. Scott, Shellie and my grandparents try really hard to make sure that I can eat with them. They are very careful about what they have too. At some restaurants they have gluten free menu's. That is always helpful. Most of the time I am limited to a corn shell Taco or a hamburger minus the bun. But I survive.

I am very grateful for the technologies that we have to diagnose diseases because I was so sick. I lost somewhere between 30-40 lbs. I was disgustingly thin. I have gained quite a bit of it back and I am feeling really well.

This is pretty much the most random, dumb post but I am just really excited about my new book!

Birthday, Graduation, Dog...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHEL!! Rachel's Birthday was Yesterday. Grandma, Jason, Rachel and I went to lunch at Garcia's. This is a picture of Rachel in the Sombrero as the servers sang to her. We had a good time at lunch! We hope you had a great day Rach!

This is Lindsay Morrow and Lyndsi Morrow at graduation. Haha. I knew Lindsay before I knew Taylor so we always crack up we have the same name. Congrats on Graduation Linds!!

Tenille and I at Graduation. I wish I had a picture of her cap. She decorated it pretty cute! After Graduation we went to Chili's. Yum Yum. Congrats Nillie!

This is Taylor on a typical Sunday after church. He works 6 days a week so I can't blame him for wanting to nap. I seriously couldn't work as many hours as he does! He is one tough dude. It amazes me how hard he works. I know I complain about him working so much and being alone but I really shouldn't. I admire his work ethic. I think if you look up MORROW in the dictionary it says WORKAHOLIC. I sure do love him.

Here is the new addition to the Morrow Family...Tate. We went and picked him up on Saturday. He is such a good dog! We just love him. He hasn't caused any trouble...yet. I have enjoyed having company, since Taylor doesn't get home until late each night. Tate has made himself right at home. He follows me around like my little shadow. I will post more pictures of him later.

Memorial Weekend

This is a rock we had done for my dad a few months after he passed away.

This is the back of my dad's headstone. He hated this picture but it was the most recent one we had at the time of his passing.

This is the front of the headstone. You can't see too much of it because of all the beautiful flowers from Memorial Day.

Front of the headstone again.

This Memorial Weekend was filled with action. Friday we just worked on the yard! We are hoping to get the back patio poured this weekend so we can work on the sprinkler system and the grass. I can't wait!

Saturday I was suppose to help in the yard but Shellie, Tanner and Tenille came to the house to pick up my car to take to Utah to go see Shellie's nephew, Tyson. He returned from a mission in Washington. Well I decided to head down with them. So we went to Tai Pan and ate lots of food and partied. Those Hix's sure know how to PARTY!

Sunday Taylor, Scott, Tasi and Tyler came down and we went to church for Tyson's report and it was awesome. After church we went and ate and partied some more and then came home. It was a quick trip but so fun to see all the family.

Monday I went to visit dad's grave and take him some fresh flowers. His headstone is the most beautiful one I have ever seen. It is honestly the most unique headstone. He is buried in the Iona Cemetery. Then I took some flowers to Grandpa Morrow's grave. Then off to the golf course with Grandma, Grandpa and Jason. It was fun. I am not the best golfer but I sure make it entertaining for everyone! When Taylor got off work we went and visited the both Dad and Grandpa Morrow's graves.

We had a great weekend. It just went by way too fast.

We also are so excited to be getting a dog. My younger sister Lexie called me Monday and asked if we would like my Dad's little buddy Tate. I am super excited. We were going to get a dog as soon as we had grass but oh well. We are going to bring him home this weekend. I am sure it will be hard for Mitch, Lexie and Cole to part with him but they can come and see him whenever they want. So for now that is our expansion to our little family.

I will try to update this more often. I will get some pictures of the yard progress and post them for all of you too see. So far we just have lots and lots of dirt!!!

Update

Just thought I would post an update on the surgery.

So last Wednesday they told us to be at the hospital at 10:45, we got there, answered the same 50 questions they asked me the day before, then changed and got my IV put in. My surgery was scheduled for 12:45. They said Dr. Hall was 30 min ahead of schedule last time they checked. I was thinking WHOO HOO. Little did I know that was the WRONG INFO. So Taylor, Grams and I chatted and watched some TV. My nurse came in and said that Dr. Hall is now running behind schedule and she also asked me the same 50 questions I had already been asked two other times. We waited and waited. Finally at 2:30 they came and got me and said they were ready for me. I was a little irritated that I had to wait and hour and fourty five min longer than I was suppose to and needless to say I was starving to death. So they get me down in the holding area and again I waited another hour and a half. Around 4 they came and asked those 50 questions AGAIN. Then they gave me anesthesia and I was out.

They found some endometriosis and also an adhesion (my grandma thinks it looks like saran wrap stretched out) and they burned the endometriosis and cut off the adhesion. I have been really sore but our families have been so wonderful and made meals and brought us everything we need.

Taylor says I walk around like I am an OLD lady. I just tell him I feel like one too. I am pretty sore, I move slow. But I should be feeling pretty good by the weekend. Taylor has been great. He has helped so much. He just couldn't master the whole 'pick up after myself because Lyndsi can't right now' task. But someday he will get there! haha. :)

Oh and I wanted to just let everyone know that my brother JASON was the 4A District Champ for golf. CONGRATS. WE LOVE YOU.
