The Bean

Almost a year and a half ago Jayce and I were sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple for time and all eternity.
At the time, I found my fortune to have three pregnant bridesmaids quite hilarious and I rather enjoyed it. Rebekah and Kimber I had known about for months (obviously from their condition in the picture) but Lindsey I heard about just days before the wedding. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take fun pictures with them at the wedding.
Well ladies and gentlemen, it is true...I am no longer looking at an empty belly!

This was taken at 6 weeks, I'll be 16 weeks in two days. :-) I'm due May 29th!

Frequently asked questions:
1. Have you been sick? I for sure have not had as worse of a first trimester as some women that I've talked to. However, it has not been "fun" by any means. I have a love hate relationship with food. Instead of getting hungry (which by the way is about every hour and a half) I just start to feel sick. Then I don't really want to eat, because I feel sick, but I know that food is the only thing that will make me feel better, so I have to. Love-hate. Nauseousness is NO FUN either!! It's normally worst in the mornings, but luckily I learned that eating crackers in bed for the first 15 minutes of being awake or so works miracles! Over the last few weeks it has eased off a ton. Now as long as I eat all the day long, I'm okay. (Bleh...I always thought eating for two would be soooo awesome. I was wrong.)

2. Do you know the gender? Nope! We'll find out at 20 weeks, so sometime after we get home from Christmas break in January.

3. Are you excited? Initially, super excited. I'm not gonna lie though, I haven't been able to look passed the nauseousness for a while. I forget that it's actually happening to me, most of the time it doesn't feel real for some reason! I almost feel like I'm lying to people when I tell them I'm pregnant haha, it's that bad. I can't wait to be able to feel it move, and I just live for the next doctor's appointment when I'll be able to hear the heart beat again. Call me paranoid, but I just always get scared that the worst will happen. I'll feel much better when I can poke my stomach and feel something kick back. :-) So, bottom line--yes, Jayce and I are super excited!! It's just been hard to feel like it's really happening the last little while. Now I'm slowly transitioning into the fun part of the pregnancy, which I could not be more happy about!


More to come from the Porter's!

Spencer's Birth Story

Image
After those last days of trying my hardest to push away the heightening anticipation of Spencer's arrival, he finally arrived two weeks ago today! Now those days seem so far away. It's amazing how quickly the tables turn. Your life seems to be building up to one particular moment for so long and then all of a sudden you're on the other side of that moment and it's like life has never been any different. Here is the last "belly picture" I took before his arrival and I only thought about it because my parents had requested one. The difference between the first and the fourth kid I guess. This was just a couple of days prior to his birthday. Well, for all of you birth story enthusiasts and for my posterity, here is the story if you so wish to read it. Fair warning: it's probably going to be long. I woke up on Monday morning with that "my due date was yesterday and now I'm just depressed that he's not here yet" feeling. I was a...

Welcome to the World Aiden Titus

Image
Something big arrived in the Porter Family early in the morning on September 29! He's big, he's blonde, and he has kisses all over his chunky cheeks...welcome to the world Aiden Titus Porter!  He was my second largest baby weighing in at 8 lb 10 oz, his abundance of blonde hair is reminiscent of Cameron, he's the 17th grandchild on the Porter side and the 14th on the Terry side and he came into the world fast and furious like his next-older brother, Spencer. He also completes the Porter basketball team. Summer Olympics 2032, here we come! Now where's a coach?    The Story The week of my due date my goal was just to stay relaxed and not get fixated on when Aiden might/might not arrive. The "Anything happening in there?!" questions are always well meant (and I totally ask them of other preggos too, it's just too exciting when someone is about to deliver!) but they make me feel like I should have control over something I do...

Mom's Gone

Image
My Mom died in the early hours of June 29 of complications from pneumonia. She was one month shy of her 67 th birthday. I’ll be processing everything from the morning of her death to the day she was buried for a long time. I’m so grateful that I was able to talk to my mom just two days before she passed. I had sat down at my computer after rocking Spencer to sleep and it was quiet time in the Porter house. My mind went blank as soon as I sat down and I relaxed, which is abnormal because I usually feel torn between doing ten things at once when I sit down to “get stuff done” during quiet time. So I thought, “Well, what should I do? It’s been a while since I talked to Mom...” When I asked her how she was she answered, “Well, actually not so good,” and she explained that she had just come home from the doctor’s office where she found out that she had pneumonia.   She filled me in on some details from her appointment and how she had been feeling recently. My mom has had and ...
