Feb 19: took a pregnancy test while out in Colorado skiing and received a result of "pregnant" - although we were not preventing we did not expect for it to happen so quickly! Ask Logan...I told him it would take 6-12 months...oops, I guess it only took 2 :)
March 22: My 27th birthday...The day my favorite uncle passed away. Uncle Dan is the greatest uncle ever! I miss you so much! Luckily I got to spend time with him the day before with church & lunch!
April 24: I went from Alesha Christian to Alesha Lippincott at 4:30pm at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Story City. I have to say the day/wedding was perfect! Everything went smooth, great parents, wonderful wedding party, tons of guests, lots of love between best friends becoming one! Then came the reception of a lifetime at Hickory's Hall - even Logan wants a repeat! Great family & friends with lots of music/beer/dancing! We are living proof you don't need to spend "tons" of money to have the most amazing wedding ever!!!!
April 26: we went on our honeymoon to Cancun, Mexico. Stayed at The Dreams Resort and had a wonderful time just the two of us! Its so great knowing I will get to wake up with my best friend for the rest of our lives :)
May 4: our nephew, Easton Leroy Baker, was born. 8lbs 12oz.
May 22: 17 weeks : My cousin Trent married Crystal Hanson in the same church we got married in!
The next few months were spent with me growing, buying things for our baby boy, getting his room ready, and finishing house projects!
July 10: 24 Weeks : We were a part of Logan's sister Ashley & Austen's wedding in Pella. She became Ashely Schueler!
Aug 1: Week 27 : Scary day! Felt contractions for the 1st time!
We had our nephew Easton overnight and I felt great. I held him, played with him, went on a walk with him and had lots of fun. The morning of the 1st his mommy came and got him and then we went to get groceries. Still feeling good at this point. We got Chinese for lunch and came home to eat it. While eating Logan's sister Ashley and her husband Austen came over to visit. It was at that point my stomach started to really hurt. I just tried to cover it and kept changing my sitting position. After they left I still did not say anything...I went outside to lay out and could not lay down because it kept hurting. As I tried to get up off the ground I about fell over from pain. So I came inside and told Logan and just laid on the couch to see if I would feel better. Still was having pain about 4pm so I called the on-call doctor. She advised to lay down, relax, and drink water. If I still had pain in an hour she advised I could come in but did not think it was contractions. So an hour passed and I decided I should go get checked. While getting ready I had a pain so bad it almost took me to my knees. I got to the hospital and my friend Shelly Cory was working and stayed past her shift to take care of me. They hooked me up to a machine, Tate's heartbeat sounded great, but my blood pressure was a little high - stress they thought. The machine also measured contractions and I was having pre-labor contractions every 5-8 minutes! I was not dialated or thinning so they gave me a shot to stop the contractions and about 10pm I was able to go home. They advised I should be fine and that I could continue with my normal activities.
August 14th I traveled to eastern Iowa for my cousin Drew's wedding. Then on Aug 28 we had our Child Birth class and also went to Atlantic for Grandpa and Grandma Lippincott's 50th Anniversary party. The class didn't really teach us anything about having a baby that we didn't know, but was still glad we went. I was still feeling good and was loving being pregnant!
Sept 5: Week 32: Date night : I spent the entire day cleaning our house in detail and Logan worked. Since we didn't have to work Labor Day I planned a date night because soon we knew we would not get those! We went to Bass Pro Shop for the 1st time ever and then to Chip's for dinner. That was followed by going to my parents to watch Big Brother :)
Sept 6: Week 32: We had maternity pictures taken by Shelly Colvin, http://www.shellycolvinphotograpy.com/. Check her out! We had a great time and got some great pics :)
Sept 7: Doctors appt didn't go too well....so far I have felt great and all my check-ups have been great. Well today my blood presure was a little high and I gained 6lbs in 2 weeks...yikes! Up until then I had only gained like 10lbs total! Dr Osborn didn't check me just told me I had to do a 24 hour uraine test (Wed morning-Thursday morning). The testing was to see if I was starting to get preeclampsia.
Sept 8: Started my testing - was feeling great like always but had to follow the doctors orders. Went to Quiznos for lunch with work friends. Made chicken tacos for dinner, did some laundry, cuddled and watched tv with Logan. Felt great and fell asleep right away.
