Our First Trip To The Doctor!

I am a little late with the latest news regarding my pregnancy! We went to our first doctor's appointment last Tuesday. Our doctor is wonderful! His name is Bryant Brown and he did such a good job at making me feel more comfortable. He did not waste any time giving me some drugs to help with the morning sickness! Yay! Me and baby are doing great! We were able to see our little punkin and the heart was beating strong! We also heard the fast heartbeat. I think it truly sank in for both Rich and me when we saw our baby. What a miracle! It was so amazing! I think Rich was really excited too! He is still very determined it is a boy. He says that is why we were able to hear the heart so early on, because it is a strong boy! We will have to see. As for now, I am still dealing with being sick, but the pills sure help. My tummy is starting to change and feel different now and that excites me. I can not wait for the weeks to come!

OUR TRIP TO BEAUTIFUL OREGON!

For 11 long days we traveled to Oregon by truck with Rich's fam for a family reunion that is held every five years. The reunion was held in the mountains of Hyatt Lake for the first five days. It was so fun to stay in our tent and play cards day and night. After camping we stayed at Rich's mom's cousin's house near Medford, OR. They have the most gorgeous home with a swimming pool and everything else you could imagine. We took a boat ride down the Rogue River, hiked through the gigantic trees of the Redwood forests, stopped at the beach, and visited Crater Lake. It was so beautiful in green Oregon! See you again in five years! P.S. I am flying next time!!! Enjoy the pics! I hope to add more. I took 382! Sorry they are not in order of occurance.
I love this picture! Our cousin Brando, sister-in-law Kristy, and our cousin Jeni stuck in the sand!
Notice we are on the edge of a cliff! It was scary, but so pretty!

Beautiful Hyatt Lake where we camped for 5 long days! This was taken from our campsite! What a view we had!
Just had to take this pic of the animal proof garbage cans in the Redwood forest!


The most gorgeous lake ever ... Crater Lake! It was formed by a volcanic eruption that colapsed into a crater. It then filled up with water from rain and snow! It is one of the deepest lakes in the United States and the prettiest blue you will ever see!
So beautiful!!!

The ocean on the Oregon coast. I have to say this was my favorite day! I just love the sand in my toes!
