02/25/10. EPICLY LEGENDARY

I wanted to throw some photos up for everyone to see. I guess he does not look like the Ewok from the ultrasounds (Win for the Legend)

Jessica and I have waited a long time for this miracle Legend to come into our arms, and all that waiting and preparation was worth it at the very moment I heard him cry for the first time. I honestly don’t know to describe the feeling of joy that came over me at that very moment.

I guess the next step is figuring out your “legal” name little Legend. I have no Idea why we can’t name you “Legend Keith Gines”, but your mom said no. Get used to hearing that =)

Jess, Legend, Gretchen, And Janice

I'm Way to tired to try and figure out how to rotate this photo in Blogspot, so turn your head. Problem solved!


Dodo And The Legend

SUPER CUTE

Kind of looks like the Travelocity Gnome

Legend, WHERE ARE YOU?

Alright little dude:

Don’t you think its time to come hang out with your dad yet? Don't you think we need to watch 2 great years of undefeated Utah Football? Don't you think you need to see the news report when Jo Beck Cries? Don’t you want to know why Max Hall hates you?

Toby won't leave your mom alone......He puts his head on her belly when she is resting, and follows her around the house when she is not. We saw ultra sound photos of you......After seeing those, I wonder if you’re really an ewok. That may explain why Toby is so protective of you(Toby likes ewoks, cuz he smells like one).

Your Mother and I have been waiting a long time to meet you, Toby is driving me nutz....sooo how about it???? Are you ready yet????

-anxiously awaiting your arrival.....

-Love Dad and Mom

Its about time we updated!!

<-----25 weeks

Sorry for the massive delay but here is the update.

I am now 34 weeks prego, and on bed rest. That's right this little guy tried to make an appearance a week ago. A few steroid shots and meds to stop contraction we are now trying to keep him in for at least another 7 days. We really have just under 6 weeks left till our due date.Our mid wife thinks I will be early with everything that has been going on. About 6 weeks ago I has a great friend show up its name was kidney stones. It wasn't to bad I stayed the night in the most uncomfortable bed ever. The best part was I was able to lay there and listened to our little guy move, kick, and get the hiccups. My house also spun for about 2 days from what ever pain meds they gave me.

<--today at 34 weeks.

Then about 4 weeks ago I had another friend come around but it has yet to leave. Gallstones is this great friend. I would so take kidney stones over gallstones. We found out about these when i got really sick at work. Thank goodness I was at the hospital i just went straight up stairs when i couldn't handle the pain any longer. Once again there i was in the most uncomfortable bed, but loving the fact that i could sit a listen to his every move. I have a Dr appointment with a surgeon in about a week to talk about taking out my gallbladder after this little guy shows up.

Now here I am on bed rest with plenty of time to post on my blog. Thanks for reminding me about the blog dad :) I just have to say I love being pregnant.

I Felt Bad, I didn't know "THEY" had a plan

As I sit at work today, I thought to myself...Hey Katie had her birthday on Sunday...I might as well check out the family blog's to see the sappy happy bday posts!!!! I was really excited to be able to make fun of whatever my Mother or Sister wrote....err I mean read how special Katie is to them =)

As to my surprise, neither my mother or my sister had made a post......I started to feel bad for Katie..............and even though my intention was for evil....I now, more than ever wanted to see the sappy posts.

I sent a couple of text messages off trying to save boomer and mom from the tears that Katie would have if she noticed that she did NOT get her sappy bday post.

Well it turns out they were only going to do those posts for a Year......and they started with Katie.......So JOKES ON ME SUCKER.......

The Legend, He’s Getting STRONGER!

You might think this post is about this legend. ITS NOT

it’s about the one below….Our legend!!!!!!!

Today we went in for our 20 week ultrasound, and I am so very thankful that we have a healthy baby boy on the way. It was soooooo amazing, after all we have been through to actually see our little dude jumping around and intercepting balls from Max Hall

Jess and I are so blessed to have this opportunity, and I am very thankful that things are going so well during this pregnancy. It seems like we both have wanted this for so long, and everything just feels so surreal at this point. I can’t wait to be able to hold him in my arms and take him home!

The legend is so blessed to have Jess as a mother, I know she is very strong….she has been through A LOT. She is going to be the best mother to him, and will be there every step of the way. It’s so great to see how happy she is, and excited at the same time!

I want to thank our Heavenly Father for the most amazing blessing we have ever received!!!! What a miracle the Legend is!!!!! I want to also thank my parents and my in-laws for all the support/continued support they have given Jess and I over the years. There have also been the countless amounts of people that were there for Jess or myself just to “listen”, its amazing how helpful that can be when life feels likes its never going to go your way…..

One of these days we will have to move past calling him “The Legend” and actually figure out a name……My only problem is that every name I can think of is either a U of U football player, or someone from a Band. Yes I know I’m pathetic.

Please keep cheering on “The Legend”!!!!!! GO TEAM GINES!!!

The unexpected... here we go!!!!

Needless to say I think the picture says it all.

~~BABY ON THE WAY~~

Here's to almost 4 years of trying. Lots and lots of fertility drug. Many mood swing and menopause at 24 yrs old. 4 trips to the u of u, and starting the adoption process.

Best part we did this ALL ON OUR OWN.

I took the test at 2 in the morning on the 4th of July. Here is a picture of us on the forth of July after a night of no sleep and trying not to tell anyone. We told my parent when we were 7 weeks and told Adam's the day we left for Oregon i was 8 week at the time.

So here we are 13 WEEKS NOW!!!!

My lips cant be locked any longer. We are so excited, it still does not feel like reality. Adam has been so funny and great while i want to do nothing but sleep my days away. The Gines side of our family called the baby the legend. They all think its a boy and so does our Dr. we hope to find out at the end of the month but if not our big ultrasound is at the end of Oct.

Check out the new hobby

My mom, sister in law and I
