BABY BUMPS AND UPDATES!

It has been quite a few months at the Sabin home...with family visits, bull sales and dirt bikes we have had our hands full!

In February the Sabin's came for Valentines weekend, it was so much fun! We love when Vicki, Craig and all the brothers and sisters come...they didn't all come this time but it was still a blast!

We played games and went shopping and cooked some awesome food! We get to see them again at the end of March for our cousin Austins wedding! We can't wait.

Jeff has been super busy with re-vamping his dirt bike for the summer...he really wanted to buy a new one but with a baby on the way he decided to remodel the one he already has! It turned out great and he can't wait to ride it all summer long!
Last weekend Jeff and I stayed at Idaho Falls with my parents for my dads annual Bull Sale! We all got together the night before the sale to watch the BYU basketball game! Liza, Jason and Hazel decided to randomly drive up from Vegas for the sale...it was great to see them and Hazel loved the game too!

My moms birthday is on March 24th but we gave her are gift last weekend while Liza and Jason were up! They ordered a life size sticker picture of my brother Caleb that is on a mission! She loved it! Happy birthday MOM!

My friend Jessica is also prego! We have been friends since elementary school and we are so excited for each other...she is having a baby boy. We are trying to show off our bumps to each other but I don't think it worked!:)

This Pregnancy journey has been so different than what I thought it would be! I am so grateful for this wonderful joy in my life! It has been much harder than I expected...I try so hard to put a front up and have people think I am just this tough cookie who can handle anything but to be honest pregnancy has really humbled me...I never expected that to happen but it did. I have truly been humbled by this beautiful baby inside of me. The first 17 wks of pregnancy were such a hard struggle for me...don't get me wrong they were wonderful as well and I wouldn't exchange pregnancy for anything but I never expected it to change my life the way it did...I couldn't have prepared myself for the struggle I would face for those 17 wks and I think that is why it was more difficult than I imagined it would be. Getting IV therapy and not being able to walk from the bedroom to the bathroom was a feeling I had never had before. Sure I had been sick and in pain many times in my life but nothing like this...it was such a eye opening experience! If I have to feel like this with all my pregnancies then bring it on because everything I went through was all worth it when I felt our beautiful baby girl kick for the first time at 15 wks!

I will forever see my mother and every mother in a different light. I always knew my mother to be my hero and a wonderful person but for her to give her body over to pregnancy for 8 babies...I can't even imagine!
I was sitting with my sister talking the other day and I said, "Liza I would exchange being nauseated and throwing up for 15 extra pounds during pregnancy because there really isn't anything worse then being so sick." She just smiled at me and said..."Maybe the Lord gave you that struggle for a reason...maybe he was trying to humble you."

I have been thinking about that conversation every since she and I talked...she is so right! I am 1000 times more grateful for my healthy fit body then I was before! I know the Lord only gives us trials in hope that we will learn from them.

I have truly learned from that trial in my life and I hope that I will always remember what it felt like to be so sick so I can cherish what it feels like to feel so good!

I am 20 wks today and feeling better and better everyday...it is still a struggle working at night but I am finding joy in the journey everyday. It has been such a blessing to have such a wonderful job...sure its crazy and hectic and sometimes I don't even have time to pee! But I wouldn't change any second of it! Being able to share my journey with the wonderful, beautiful nurses and staff that I work with...and the fantastic patients makes all of it worth it!

I am truly grateful for the struggles and the wonderful moments I have had during this pregnancy! This little girl has been such a blessing in Jeff and mines life! I wouldn't change anything that I have gone through...because it truly has made me a better person!

Just a side note: I can already tell this little girl is going to be a handful! She is so active! She kicks, bumps and hits me all day and all night long! It really is the best feeling in the world!
