Well, forget everything about the last entry... today Josh and I found out we spontaneously miscarried... physically I'm fine... and we're not yet up for talking but I had to let everyone know.

Update
As you may notice besides the new blog layout there is now a baby ticker at the top. Josh and I are officially starting our family. We found out Thanksgiving morning that I am pregnant, we told our parents that Thanksgiving weekend, depending on when we saw/talked to them. It has been hard keeping it quiet from most others since then. We told the rest of our families when we saw everyone for Christmas and now work and friends know so its out there!
So far we've had 2 doctors appointments, one before Christmas at 7 weeks where we got a couple pictures of the tiny little peanut inside and then one just this last Friday. Our latest appointment they used the doppler and after the doctor told us repeadidly that it can take a minute to hear the heartbeat and even if they don't hear it that doesn't mean anythings wrong, at 11 weeks sometimes you hear it sometimes you don't. After about 10 seconds, we heard it loud and clear! About 160 bpm it's going strong. Next appointment in another 4 weeks. Until then we wait...
We are slowly but surely trying to get our house ready for a baby, mainly by rearrainging our guest room and trying to figure out where to put everything that is currently in there, along with all the cat stuff... In a couple months we'll find out the sex of our little addition and then the fun will really begin! I'm sure August 6th will be here before we know it! I'm already not looking forward to a long hot summer in my house... ugh.

Christmas Festivities
So it's only just over a week past Christmas, and I'm posting already. I'm impressed. Christmas eve day we went to Pat and Wayne's house for an early dinner before heading off to church in Gresham.
Christmas morning started with Josh and I waking up early as always to open stockings with each other before getting ready to leave. We were at Pat and Wayne's house a little after 8, with much more ease than last year I must say. We did stockings with the Bergers before Pat's family joined in for breakfast and presents. With everyone buying for everyone, all 15 or so people... there were quite a few presents. After a couple hours of presents everyone started dispersing to their next destination. By 1 pm we were at Wayne's side of the family in North Plains for some pot luck style lunch... and about 40 family members! Luckily no presents there. After eating we snuck out to head to my step-mom's side of the family... in Troutdale. The drive does suck most of the time, but in the sun this year it was actually a nice break from all the family chaos and a chance for me to talk to my mom since she stayed in Colorado this year. By the time we got to our next destination everyone was ready for presents... luckily we draw names and then do a white elephant. We had a bit of dessert, got some leftovers from dinner even though we weren't there... and off we went to my dad's sisters house, only because it's a mile away. We got there and of course they were just sitting down to dinner so we warmed up by the fire (50 mph winds in 20 something degrees is not fun!) We exchanged presents between Josh, me, my dad, and Kaye before my aunt, uncle, and cousin joined in on the fun.
After leaving Troutdale we finally headed home... after being out for 12 hours it was nice to be home. We put in a movie and fell asleep! It was a great Christmas, with lots of family, but next year we are looking to change things up... not quite sure how yet but it will happen! Below are some pics from the day.
Wayne played Santa... for a while
Another nice part of the drive out east... the mountain was out!
Josh and Matt playing for the Championship... Josh won a close match
Cousin Eli played both Josh and Matt and lost which is what created the championship game... although he later played Josh again and won.
Cousin Regan playing with Pat's toys!
Pat got Jesus and Mary nut crackers for Christmas...
Regan loving her Hello Kitty hooded cape from Santa
Gage decided to help his sister open her toy chain saw from Santa
