Symptoms: naucious and tired thats just about it though.
Total Weight Gain/Loss:  I have actually lost 10 pounds from throwing up so much!!I just got out of the hospital after having the flu and Hyperemesis Gravidarum If you don't know what that is here is an explanation is a severe, debilitating nausea and vomiting in pregnancy that generally leads to more than 5 percent weight loss and may require fluid and nutritional supplement. It is different from the more common nausea and vomiting known as morning sicknessDehydration,malnutrition. I was in the hospital for two days getting fluids and nutrients. and we are so happy to share that baby Burke is healthy and strong and I am doing much better.

Sleep: still having the same dream about Greg holding our little girl but I have had some dreams about going out and buying baby boy clothes, I also have been having dreams about people breaking into our house with guns I think its because I am worried so much about my babies protection

Best Moment This Week: We got our first ultra sound of baby burke he or she has a strong heart beat and is healthy and strong. Coolest feeling ever hearing our babys heart beat.We both sat down and wrote a letter to little baby Burke about that special moment.
Movement: baby is constantly moving but I cant feel it yet
Labor Signs: Hopefully none until after week 38 at the very least
Gender: Totally too early to tell. Doctor says that this is not for sure but if the babys heart beat is above 140 than the baby is a girl if the heart beat is below the babys a boy. Our little peanuts heartbeat is at 175.we really want a baby girl but we will be happy with a boy too. we have our names already picked out if it's a girl her name will be London and if it's a boy his name will be Becham I have wanted these names for at least two years.

We MaDe A wIsH & yOu CaMe TrUe!!

 Our wish finally has come true!! Greg & I are so happy to announce we are expecting our first bundle of joy in July. I am 5 weeks and 5 days pregnant.  I know the rule is to wait  three months in before telling everybody but many of you know our story & the battle we have fought to try to conceive. We could not wait. It is such an awesome feeling that we just have to share and I thought it was only fair to tell those of you who have stood by us, supported us and have been routing for us through our struggle.Thank you to all of you who have been there for us.Your prayers meant/mean so much to us!
Early Monday morning I woke up with really bad tooth pain I called the dentist they looked at an x-ray from my mouth they had taken a month prior and told me I needed to go in immediately to get the tooth removed.. They told me they wanted to put me under for the extraction. Greg and I were on our way there and I had this bad feeling about being put under I looked at Greg and said "I think we need to get a pregnancy test before we go just in case"I was a couple days late on my period and didn't think much of it.I really thought for sure we were not pregnant & I was just late as usual . We both were like no way we could be pregnant we have been trying for three years and I have been late on periods and have missed periods because of my polysistic ovarian syndrome if you haven't heard of it well basically one of my ovaries works really well and the other does not ,I only would have a period every other month. I am still so confused to this day exactly what it is (I should know by now but it's so complicated .) The good news is we can get pregnant and have as many healthy little babies as we wish it just takes a little extra work & patience. We were very used to not having a period and taking pregnancy tests and them turning out negative.This went on for 3 years strait and we have had to be very patient.
So we stopped at Walgreen's just to be safe.  We actually almost didn't because we were late but I just couldn't go  in to that dentist appointment risking something so important. I walked back to the bathroom prepared for yet another heartbreak. As I sat there waiting & washing my hands I had this feeling that no matter what everything was going to be ok and a feeling of comfort took over my body. I than looked down at the pregnancy test, glanced at it, and thought I saw negative because I am so used to it showing up negative.I looked back again with a little ounce of hope this time and  than I said to myself  "HOLY MOLY IT'S POSITIVE!" there were actually two lines this time. I was in total shock, I  stared at those two very powerful strong lines with a huge smile,tears came to my eyes,I giggled a little, I got chills,and than I said a prayer in my heart thanking my heavenly father. As I rushed out to tell Greg I looked at him with a huge smile , tears still in my eyes and stood there speechless . He looked back at me and said "cut it out honey! stop joking we don't have time for this" I looked at him and said "no baby LOOK! LOOK!I am not joking" He looked and smiled at me with total disbelief and  said  "well it's a cheap test I need to go buy more" (Greg especially has had a hard time keeping his hopes up or getting to excited.) Greg came back with a new box of 3 pregnancy tests.With excitement we both  hurried to open it . As I was waiting for the next one to show up I thought to myself ...wait I really don't wanna tell him I am pregnant in Walgreen's! The second one was positive as well.YES ! FINALLY!, finally our prayers had been answered. I told Greg the next one was negative to throw him off so I could tell him in a cute way later on. I am a really bad liar and had the hardest time hiding my joy . Usually Greg can tell when I am lying but I think he thought it was to good to be true so he believed me and he was I'm sure tired of getting his hopes up.
When we arrived at the dentist I told them I might be pregnant and  Greg stood there with me as I checked in (still throwing Greg off, he thought I was going to get the gas or something because he left before I went back to the room) When Greg left I said I don't want the gas, I don't want to be put under, I want what's safe because I am in fact PREGNANT! So the dentist numbed it and started pulling the tooth as all the dental assistants stood by congratulating  me on being pregnant. Sure it was very painful and a nightmare getting my tooth pulled, but I didn't really notice because well HELLO I couldn't stop thinking about my baby and becoming a mommy.So many thoughts raced through my mind that I was to distracted to even notice a freaking tooth was being yanked from the back of my mouth. Afterwards, as I was waiting for Greg to pick me up I called my mom and told her our amazing news.I just had to tell her because she was the only other person besides Greg who spent late nights with me on the phone listening to me bawl hours on end for 3 strait years  and she knew just how much pain and sorrow we were going through with trying to get pregnant.She was so excited and I think completely in shock as well.When Greg came to pick me up I saw how sad he was, he wouldn't say it but it was written all over his face, I just had to tell him.I looked at him and said "baby I wanted to tell you in a special way but I need to tell you now that our prayers have been answered.We are going to have a BABY" He was so happy and so excited,I loved seeing the look on his face. We both just sat there holding each other crying.We had waited for this for so long and that feeling of finally knowing we were going to start our family was so powerful ,it was the excitement of the first time we met,the day he proposed,and our wedding day all wrapped up in one . We knew in that exact moment that heavenly fathers arms were wrapped around the both of us comforting us and assuring us that  we were ready to become parents.Right than I knew  why we had to go through what we did because our babies are just so perfect and so precious that heavenly father was preparing us to be the parents they deserve and to give them only the best life possible. I knew we were finally ready for our little miracle!

 At our first doctors appointment the doctor tried to get the first ultra sound but it's still really early so we go in on December 10th.He told us the polycystic will not effect the baby in anyway at all and she or he will be strong and healthy.We have already decided on names. There has been two girl names that I have wanted since I was ten, Londyn & Lucy ,my sister in law loved the name Lucy too and they have thee cutest little Lucy ever. Over the years I have liked different ones but Londyn & Lucy always have stuck with me. Unfortunately, there can't be two Lucys and  so if we have a girl her name will be Londyn Ann. I have always imagined having a little girl so I never put much thought into boy names. As we have been trying to conceive I have jotted down some names for boys I really like .A little over a year ago I found one that I adore and has just stuck with me and that name is Beckham! No matter what we have, those two names will always be the names for our little boy and girl..Greg loves both these names as well and so we officially have our names picked out.It was quite easy!
Three years ago Greg & I decided to go off birth control we really wanted to have a baby. We thought "how hard could it be to make a baby?" Well I started getting ovarian cysts,  actually a lot of ovarian cysts and a whole lot of other health problems. My whole body just felt like it was changing and  than about two years ago I started skipping periods every other month. It was very scary and no doctor could diagnose it, they just kept  saying everything looks fine and healthy, but no everything was not fine. Being 24 years old and skipping periods every other month for no reason at all is not fine nor healthy.Every month I skipped a period I would take a pregnancy test just in case and it was one heartbreak after another seeing the test come back negative and not knowing what the heck was going on with my body. It was the worse thing ever, I never knew if I should be excited because I didn't get my period or if I should be upset because my body was being weird and just not having a period. We were so frustrated and it was so hard because it felt like everybody around me was getting pregnant  and moving on with life. Don't get me wrong I was so happy for them but only those of us who have  had a hard time getting pregnant or are going through something similar  know just how depressing and scary the whole thing really is. You can't help but think "what's wrong with me? what am I doing wrong? Why does that person get to have her baby but I can't have mine? Am I not good enough? am I not worthy enough,etc.." This last year they finally diagnosed me with Polycystic ovarian syndrome where it caused me to skip periods. .Basically, woman get small cysts every month and they pop at 2 cm than ovulation comes, that's normal but mine would turn into  huge cysts and never pop.This causing me to miss periods. It would happen on my left ovary so it would in a sense not ovulate.If I am correct it  is like having one ovary but not really because doctors told me both my ovaries are healthy .It's really confusing & frustrating.They put me on a medication called metformin to help it because I guess it had to do with my insulin.My doctor still doesn't even know if it's polycystic that I have but that is the only explanation they can think of.The doctors were not worried at all though . They told me we would become pregnant eventually and have a normal healthy pregnancy. So that was very reassuring.

We were very scared but we finally found a great doctor about a year  ago who put me on chlomed a fertility drug to increase chances of getting pregnant. A lot of my friends were on it which made me feel better and everybody kept telling me to wait til the third month, the last month of chlomed and it would happen.Sure enough third month came around and I was not pregnant instead I had a huge ovarian cyst that they had to remove with surgery. However, during that surgery the doctor did all these tests to make sure everything was ok and he removed scar tissue from previous cysts. He found nothing wrong with me  and there was nothing wrong with Greg either.We both were very healthy and everything was working. He was positive the second round of chlomed would work and now that the scar tissue was removed and everything was  "refreshed"  and cleaned out he was even more sure.I however had my doubts but I would try anything even if it meant trying it again and again and again. While I was on it I could feel my left ovary working this time. It was very painful and uncomfortable because chlomed kicks it in to gear but I was happy and relieved that it was doing something. Meanwhile,I decided to work on myself and focus on improving all aspects of my life especially my relationship with the lord . I had a new outlook on like and was finally happy again. I knew that if not in this life time,  I would be with my children in the next.I wasn't stressing as much or thinking about it constantly like I was. I just let life happen and I stopped trying to control everything. I decided to give myself over  to the lord and put all my trust & faith in him.and sure enough on November 14,2012 after the third and final month of the second round of chlomed,  our prayers had been answered. Finally we had created our little miracle.

It has been quite a long hard journey but that is what makes our miracle baby so much more special.The tears,the pain,and the sleepless nights were all worth it. We have waited a long time for this baby and we have never been happier. We finally get to welcome our little baby into our family here on earth and I know deep down in my heart that heavenly father just wanted more time with our precious angel because he or she is so perfect . We thank the lord so much for this trial, it has made us so much stronger and I am so blessed to have a husband like Greg who held strong for me through this difficult time,for his blessings he would give me day and night, and for his strength & faith. As hard as it was it taught us so much. Thanks again everybody who has stood by to support us.We can not wait to meet our little miracle

mY BabY MaKeS mE prOuD


If you were to ask me 5 years ago what I wanted in a husband I would have said exactly this ...somebody who is smart,attractive,funny,caring,giving,understanding,dedicated,faithful and a hard worker. Well I got exactly that in marrying Greg and so much more. I have always admired how hard of a worker he is and how dedicated to his job he is.He hardly ever misses work,he goes in early and stays late if he has to and he gets the job done.

His usual work schedule is from 8-6 but he has to train somebody so for the next couple weeks his schedule has changed to 12-10 Mon -Fri. We both hate this schedule and will be so happy when it is over. I hate seeing my husband come home dead tired and only getting to see him an hour a night before we go to bed. He is always burnt out and it wears on him.
 Last Friday Greg's boss offered him 5th row jazz tickets for how hard he has been working and the fact that he had to give up his regular schedule to work 12-10. We were both so excited and I was so proud of my baby. It was only for the pre-season game but still we had a blast and were just so happy that he is getting rewarded for his hard work and dedication. I know I say this a lot but I truly have an amazing man who loves me ,who takes care of me, who works hard for our family and who brings out the best in me. I love you Gregory Burke you make me so so proud.

PraYeR tIME

Prayer has always been very important in our home especially family prayer. When Greg & I were dating we made a promise that every night we would have prayer together. He was living in Philadelphia at the time for the summer and our relationship consisted of talking 24/7 on the phone and at night we would read scriptures together over the phone and put our phones on speaker to have prayer. We did this EVERY night so it became a good habit that we carried into our marriage.We may have our weaknesses and are not perfect lds people but we strive to be and have never gone a night without prayer. Three years ago we welcomed our new baby boy Jax in to our little family and I have been in love from day one.Have you ever heard people say how smart yorkies are? IT'S TRUE. The first night we brought Jax home Greg and I were having prayer together and Jax was on the floor playing with a toy he was so tiny and our bed was so high but he made the huge jump and to our surprise came and cuddled with us for prayer.
Over the years Jax has always cuddled with us while having prayer but lately we have started to notice he actually prays with us. That's right he prays with us ..call me crazy or think I'm lying but it is the truth. He actually tucks his head down and looks like he is bowing his head in reverence and does not make a move. Greg & him will be playing right before hand and as soon as Greg and I fold our arms,bow our heads, and hold hands Jax is right there in the middle of us tucking his head down and staying as still as he can. It is thee cutest thing I have ever seen. People think I am crazy when I tell this story but it is the truth. It for sure has to do with the habit of us having prayer every night but I believe Jax is so smart and he understands exactly what is going on. We love him so much and he truly is such a wonderful blessing to Greg and I.
