dear baby,
first i would like to say i love you and am excited to see you, but what the crap baby taylor? i thought we had a deal, you don't make me sick and i eat all the food we can handle. but the last couple of days you've been kind of a punk about things. really, even making water taste nasty, isn't that going a little too far? i mean we NEED that at the very least! so i have a proposal: you stop making me sick and i go back to eating like normal and then we can all be happy:). by all i am including your dad in this, he's had to put up with a lot of whining lately and i am sure he would appreciate it if we stop this "i can't stand to look at food, make your own dinner" nonsense. so i'm going to go eat some crackers right now because i think that might be safe, and you can get back to me on this...hopefully soon!!
love,
your mom

update
this week i had my first ultrasound...at first it wasn't that bad. and then the baby was too small to see with the traditional kind so they chose another way to do it. let's just say it was not that much fun, and the next time we have a kid we are waiting a few months to have an ultrasound. other than that the experience was kind of surreal. we were able to hear the heart beat, and see that the baby was about the size of a bean. the heart beat was very clear, and was beating about 160 times a minute. at another doctor's appointment we went over the test results from the last one. everything was fine except my results from the glucose test. the normal results are in the 70-130 range. i was at 59. she said that i just have to eat more often, which surprises me because i already feel like i am eating every 5 minutes.
up until this week i wasn't feeling very sick at all. the last couple of days though have been a little rough. if i eat anything that's too sweet, i'm down for the count. adam and i went for a walk yesterday. it wasn't very long and was one of our usual routes. about half way through it, right above my tail bone and in between my hips started hurting so bad i could hardly walk. i couldn't even stand up straight, i had to hunch a little. it looked rediculous i'm sure. it even got to the point that adam asked if i wanted him to go get the car while i waited. which was a very sweet offer but i didn't want to give up that easily. so i hobbled all the way home, sometimes crying out because it hurt...really i should have given up. it's not so bad now.
today we went swimming at the silverton reservoir with cody and scott. it was a beautiful day and the water was perfect. we were out there for a few hours, long enough to get a sunburn. i now have a farmers tan and adams shoulders look like they are going to be super painful in the next day or two.

When's that bbBBBABY DUE?!
If reading the title of this blog post wasn't a big enough hint to you as to what I'm about to write, then perhaps this picture will help:
Emily and I are going to have a baby! We found out just after 8:45 last night. We were stunned and didn't know if we should believe the test. In fact, we're still not 100% sure that the test is accurate. Although Emily did take a second one, which also came up positive. Also, the instructions said that it could take three minutes for the results to appear, but the results showed up extremely fast both times.
A long time ago, we talked about what we would do when we found out that Emily was pregnant. We decided that we would wait before telling anybody, but once it became a reality, we wanted to tell people! I felt like it was important that Emily's parents be the first people we tell, so I set up my microphone to record the conversation and we tried calling them, but they didn't answer. We waited a few minutes, tried again, and there was still no answer. Tried a little later, no answer again. We tried to keep ourselves occupied by playing Dr. Mario Online Rx, but my Wiimote batteries died, so we stopped. We were fairly antsy and all we could talk about was the fact that Emily was pregnant! In a way I'm glad that Emily's parents didn't answer at first because it gave me time to re-arrange my microphone setup so that the quality of the recording would be better.
Finally at around 10:50 PM, Emily's dad answered the phone! I have a clip of that conversation. Unfortunately, it's a little bit hard to hear Emily's parents. I should've used two microphones -- one for Emily and one for the phone, but I just used one. Oh well; now we know for next time! Here's the clip:

As you can tell, it was pretty easy for Emily to give the news to her parents. But when I tried telling my family, it was a lot harder! My sister, Jacquelyn, happened to be visiting from California. In fact, she had just arrived that same night. That being the case, I wanted to somehow get them to put me on speakerphone with Jacquelyn and both of my parents listening, but without them knowing what was up. When you listen to the clip from that conversation, you'll see what a challenge that was! And by the way, I'm quite aware that what I was saying about having to repeat myself made no sense, but I was put on the spot! One more thing you should know is that we have a lot of plans for the weekend that Jacquelyn is in town, so when I say that I want to talk about the plans, that's what I mean. Here's the clip:

That phone call started at around 11:07 PM, by the way.
Emily and I are both very excited! We'll keep you posted on how things progress.
