ITS A BOY!!

He has big feet. You can see all five toes! It is amazing how good ultrasounds are now.

This was the first shot we got of our little boy. He didn't want us mistaking him for a girl. The whole ultrasound he was trying to flash us his backside. He wouldn't show us his face at all but he ws proud to let us know we had a boy on the way. Before the ultrasound tech even said "its a boy" you could tell. I looked over at Clark and saw a big smile on his face. He was just a little excited. We can't wait to meet him!

Just an Update

The past couple weeks have been great!

Clark is starting to feel better. He is getting stronger and stronger. It is so great to see him getting back to normal. It will take awhile for him to recover completly but it is nice to have him so happy. One great blessing through all of our trials is how much we both learned to apreciate the small things. Life can be taken away in a second so enjoy every moment you have. It has truley been a blessing to our marrige and lives to live this way. I believe that every trial has something you learn from and grow stronger because of.

I have been feeling better. It is so nice to be in the second trimester. I have just started feeling the baby move. It is such an amazing feeling. I can't wait until Clark can feel it too. We find out the sex of the baby on July 23rd! It is only about a week and a half away! We are so excited. It will be nice to start thinking about colors and things for the nursery. I'm sure my mother in law will help with that. She is really good at decorating. That is a good thing because it isn't one of my gifts. Somedays it feels like I am going to be pregnant forever but others I look back and think it is going by so fast. We have really tried to enjoy every stage of the pregnancy. This baby is such a miracle. With my fertility problems and all of Clarks surgerys the doctors really felt it wouldn't be easy for us so we are so thankful.

We have been keeping ourselves busy with life. I have been working on finishing up phlebotomy. I have a job at the hospital I work at doing phlebotomy as soon as I finish all my pokes! This will allow me to make my own schedual witch will be perfect once the baby comes. I am finally taking a term off of school. It is so nice to have a break. I will be back in the fall to finish my associates and aply for the nursing program! I have really enjoyed it. Clark is excited to get back to work at Charter. He will hopefully be going back in the middle of august. We have been taking the missionary discusions with a couple of our close friends. It has been really nice for us to continue to build our faith in the gospel. The missionarys that we have right now are great, they have really made it fun.

Well that is all the updates for now. I hope everyone has a great week.

Our new Niece!

Zoe-Jayne Alexandria Thomas was born June 23rd! She weighed 6lbs 6oz.

CONGRATS Brandon and Amber!

The Baby's growing!

These Pictures were takin at our 13 week ultrasound. It was so neat to see an actualy baby in there! The baby wouldn't stop moving the whole ultrasound which was really weird to see since I can't fell it yet. I don't think I have ever seen Clark with a bigger smile. The due date has been moved to Christmas day.

The first picture is of the baby's side profile. I think it is the best picture.

The second is another side profile of the baby doing flips!

The third is a side profile of the baby's face.

We will get to find out the baby's sex in 5 weeks! We are both very excited for that. Some days it feels like the pregnancy will last forever but it is also amazing how fast it has gone. I haven't been too sick so I have really enjoyed being pregnant. I can't wait to feel the baby move for the first time.

Mayo Clinic/ Mall of America

This trip to Minnesota for Clark's last surgery (hopefully) we decided to go to the Mall of America! A coupe days before his surgery we were able to spend a whole day there. I didn't realy now what to expect but it was great. We had a lot of fun.

Of course we spend a lot of time in the Lego Land! There was a lot of neat things built with legos. This was one of our favorites. A couple of the things were a couple stories tall. They had a huge clock that actually worked. It was actually really neat.

Behind us you can see a big amusement park right behind us. This is actually in the center of the mall. It is a nickelodeon theme.

There was a rain forest cafe inside the mall too. I had never been to one so it was a fun experiance. They have lights set up to make it seem like there is lighting storms every couple minutes. There was also water dripping to make it look like rain. Plus good food!

This was one of Clark after his surgery. He was actually doing a lot better than any of us thought he would. He is so strong to go through all he has. I am so proud of him. I am always telling him he is my superman! I hope that this is the last surgery he will ever have to go through.

Baby Time!

We are very excited to find out that we are pregnant! We had been trying for a couple months but were very surprised and happy to find out it happened so soon. The doctors had found some hormone problems I was going through so I was put on some fertility medicine to help. Even the doctors were surprised it happened so fast. After everything we have gone through this year with Clark we are so thankful for such a wonderful blessing! Our due date is December 22nd. Very close to Christmas, but I can't think of a better gift.

I am going to try to post our fist ultrasound picture. Well see if I can figure that out. We got one so soon because I ended up in the ER with kidney stones. Apparently it is some what common during pregnancy, lucky me! I told Clark it was worth the pain just for the ultrasound! The nurse in ER said she had one when she was pregnant and it was worse than labor. Normally they give you a lot of pain medicine and try to evaporate the stone with sound waves. Since I'm pregnant they can't do any of that or surgery. Hopefully it will pass by itself if not they will have to put stints in OUCH.... I just can't wait for the pain to be over now. I told Clark that Heavenly Father must know how bad we want this baby because I would put up with any pain as long as the baby will be ok.

Our first actual appointment for the baby is May 13th. We will get another ultrasound and get to hear the baby's heart beat! We can't wait for that one. This ultrasound showed that everything is going perfect with the baby so far! It is in the perfect spot, is the perfect size, and the yoke sack looks great! We were happy to hear that! So far I haven't been too sick. Not much morning sickness, just a little here and there. I am only 7 weeks so I'm sure there is still a chance for it to hit.

I will keep everyone updated with our progress!

Clark- Mayo Clinic

Great News!

We have finaly heard back about Clark's CT scan. It has taken forever but it was worth the wait. All the doctors at the Mayo Clinic fell like the scan looked awesome! They didn't see any sign of an infection! So he finally got to get off the IV antibiotics and had the PICC line removed! It is so nice to see progress. Clark is looking better everyday. We are both looking forward to his next surgery in June so we can put it all behind us. We will be going back to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN for this surgery also. It is planned for the 2nd week in June but we should have the exact date soon. Thank you to everyone for your continued support, prayers, and thoughts. We apreciate them very much. We hope everyone is enjoying a beautiful spring. Don't forget to take the time to enjoy your life if nothing else, through this, we have learned how fast life can be. Clark and Kaycee Thomas
