February 11th we had our 2nd doc visit (last week)... we were both really excited because this visit we were able to hear the heart beat for the very first time. It was AMAZING. Who cares that we had to wait in the waitning room for 45 minutes before being called back! lol. Hearing our babis heart beat for the very first time was amazing! It brought an instant HUGE smile to my face that I couldn't wipe off the rest of the day! :) All my testing came back wonderful and the visit was a good one! Oh yeah the heart rate was 144 bpm.
This year for Valentines we decided to not make any plans and just have a surprise weekend.... we flew by the seat of our pants and it was soooooo nice and super fun! When I got home from work Chris had all my cute things on display at the table... So we opened our cards and gifts right then and there. It was so sweet. Next we decided to go deliver all our valentines (cupcakes and homemade valentine cards) to all our family and friends. It was fun doorbell ditchin:) Then we decided I would cook his favorite dinner meal for him and he would make my favorite dinner meal for me. So we ran to the store and got all we needed. We set the table lit a candle and cooked away in the kitchen together. SO FUN. We had a nice relaxing evening:) The next morning we woke up early and drove to heber to have breakfast at our favorite breakfast joint... the Hub, and then we went ice fishing... It was my first time with chris. I could tell he was really excited to show me how it's all done and it was fun watching him do something he enjoys so much. Next stop.... the hospital. Chris sweet grandma Jan had her hip replaced last week and has not been doing well since. they moved her to the ICU. I guess all day while we were gone with no phone service she went down hill and everyone was thinking this is it... but she kept telling all the nurses and family she wanted her grandson and asking for Christopher. We finally got there and she was so excited to see him! It was so sweet to watch him talk to her. It's no secret that they have a very strong connection and bond with one another. Usually they won't let visitors stay between 7-8:30 for shift change but the nurse said "your chris, we've been waiting for you all day. You can stay." She said as soon as he got there her blood pressure went back to normal and her heart did too. Any way she was on one last night and had us laughing so hard... She said "I give you kids anything you want.... and I can't even have a diet coke around here?!" Bless her heart.... She is doing better and we keep praying for her. She is one of the sweetest people I've ever known.
