Hawaii Day 4-6

Day 4-6 in Hawaii consisted of Dole Pinapple plantation tour and yummy ice cream, a trip to North Shore and of course Motsumoto shaved ice.

 These pineapples were so tiny and cute.

 We stopped by a beach where it is common for sea turtles to come up to the beach as well as eat the algea on the rocks in the water.

 The famous Motsumoto's shaved ice with ice cream on the bottom and sweet and condensed milk on top.

 The hotel entrance.

 We got upgraded to have a dodge charger to rent....Jeff was in heaven.

On the way home, we had to connect our flight in Oahu to Kona on the Big Island and what an adventure did that become!! We landed on Kona (basically a volcano) and after waiting on the plane for 3 hours on the tarmac, the pilot announced the plane needed to be repaired and the part needed to be flown over from Honolulu (one hour flight) and therefore we were stuck at the Kona airport outside with all the stores closed and in the heat for 5 hours. Unfortunatly we missed our connection flight from San Francisco to SLC and had to sleep at the airport until the next day. We didn't want to leave Hawaii, but were happy to finally be home in SL after that adventure.

Hawaii Day 1-3

Jeff and I took a vacation/late honeymoon/graduation present/babymoon to Hawaii for a week. It was fun to finally take a vacation with just the two of us (well 3 I guess).


Our first day we went to the Polynesian cultural center as well as made a visit to the La'ie Temple grounds.

 PCC canoe ride

 We learned how to weave palm leaves into angel fish.

 The next day we went snorkeling at Haunauma bay and saw tons of tropical and bright fish.

We also went to see the Blow hole and visit Sandy beach where all the locals boogie board. The waves were huge!

 The next evening we attended Germaines Luau which was a little disapointing since it wasnt very authentic.

Jeffs 26th birthday

I forgot to post pictures from Jeff's 26th birthday we had at our house.

Baby Update

I still havent had a chance to get a good baby bump picture yet even though I am almost halfway through this pregnancy (19 weeks!!!) On the 11th of April I had my official u/s appointment and are happy to announce we are still having a little GIRL!!! The u/s showed she is growing healthy and strong and has all her organs and fingers/toes and a strong heartbeat. She also has the cutest facial profile and we can't wait to meet her. She is now the size of a hot dog bun. I finally have been able to consistantly feel her although it still feels like popcorn popping in my belly all day and night. She is already so spoiled as Jeff and I can't avoid buying cute things for her when we are out shopping. Jeff is so excited as well and I can't wait until he can feel her as well.

That same day, Jeff and I had the chance to be featured on RFH X-96's morning radio show as 'Best friend of the Program'. It was fun to actually see what DJ's do in the studio and to meet them.

It's a .....

It's a GIRL!!!!

So we were supposed to wait another 2.5 weeks to find out the gender, but I had a long day at work Friday and decided on a whim to go to fetal foto in the mall to finally find out what our little baby is going to be. We were both so excited to find out and couldn't wait any long and are both happy to have a healthy little girl!

After we got our u/s pictures done somehow I lost the pictures walking out to our car from the mall. I was so mad and we spent hours tracing every step we took to try and find the pictures, but no luck. Most of the u/s pictures were of her spine since she was face-down and not moving much, other than a few kicks here and there.

The next day, we went back to check with lost and found again and retrace our steps, again, no luck. I decided to get another one and this time she was on her back so we were able to get some good profile shots. We also got a dvd which was really neat to see the movements and she even tried to turn for us. Most of the time she was sucking her right thumb (she must be right handed).

We had my family and grandparents over for Jeff's B-day BBQ last night as well and decided to surprise everyone with white cupcakes filled with pink frosting that my sister helped to make. We are so happy to have a little girl coming to join us soon. Now we can also finally get the nursery together while I still have some energy.

Happy Birthday Jeff!!!

This past week we celebrated Jeff's 26th birthday and will continue to celebrate this next weekend (in true Evans fashion of month-long birthday celebrating). Jeff and I went to dinner at Braza Grill where Jeff got to eat all the meat he could handle and then my parents took us out to see a movie. Sunday, Jeff celebrated at his parents house for dinner and then this weekend we are having a BBQ at our house. I forgot my camera last week, so hopefully I can get some other pics this next party.

We went to our second Dr. appointment today and heard the baby's heart beat again....160bpm.. the same as last month. All of my blood work from last visit turned out great! Now if only I could get over my naseua....I shouldn't complain about the symptoms of being pregnant since I am just lucky to be pregnant, but being sick to your stomach all day everyday is really getting old! I feel like I have the flu and only throw up when I eat sweets. My stomach started to pop out at week 14 and I started getting stretch marks....boo! We have also set up our ultrasound to find out the gender.... APRIL 11th! (The day we will be on the radio from hell show on x96 and leave for Hawaii the next day). We are thrilled and so excited to find out the gender. Jeff and I have our hunches... but I guess we have to wait a little longer to find out. I haven't bought much besides diapers because I want to know the gender first.

The long awaited announcement

Yes, it is true! Jeff and I are finally going to become parents this September! It has been quite a journey to get to this point, but we couldn't be happier! This is the only ultrasound I have had so far and since it was done at 6 weeks, its hard to see the little grain of rice that is quickly growing.


Finally a POSITIVE!

A little more info and details about our journey so far:

After struggling for over a year with ttc, I finally sought help at the Reproductive Center at the U and after 2 iui's, lots of money and missed work days, weeks of daily self-injections of hormones and other medications, and tons of prayers we finally had success!

This little ones due date is September 13, 2012! It has been a very rough first trimester as some days I couldn't even move off the couch for days, not being able to eat anything, and feeling terrible but luckily I think the end of the sick days are close as now I am actually able to eat real food and help around the house, oh and I can actually stay awake until 7 pm! I have come to appreciate Jeff so much more as he has been such a great help to keep up with our crazy life, working 60 hours a week, and taking care of me. I am now 11 weeks along and saw our Ob/gyn this past week and got to hear the baby's heart beat which the Dr. said was strong and healthy. The one consistant craving I have had the past few weeks is Chick Fil-a chicken sandwhiches...I never really loved them before, but I could eat them everyday now!

In other exciting news, Jeff and I finally booked our vacation to Hawaii for April. This trip has been long-awaited since we never really went on a honeymoon, or had a graduation trip last year and we figured we need to do it now or we will never go once this little baby is here!
