Sad News

Most of you have already heard through my mom or our family. After a week of tests and not being able to find a heartbeat I had a final ultrasound on Monday and discovered that the pregnancy was not viable. As the doctors (all 3 were in there at the same time) were explaining to me what was happening I just kept thinking, "This isn't happening to me." I was so grateful that Heath was there with me and able to provide some comfort. I had a D&C yesterday and am recovering fairly well. The hardest part for me was telling Wyatt that there wasn't going to be a baby. He was sad and then his kind-hearted cousin, Josh, told him, 'Wyatt you know why you're mom isn't having the baby? Because it was already so special it didn't need to come to earth." That gave Wyatt some comfort. It has been a hard week with roller-coaster emotions. But at this time of Thanksgiving, we are very blessed and I realize more everyday what a miracle Wyatt has been in our lives. I thank you for all of your support and prayers at this time. We will be able to get through this. Love you all!

We have an Announcement!!

Does that say "pregnant"? Why, yes it does! It has happened!! After seven years of trying, going to specialists, trying two artificial inseminations, it has finally happened---without any help. You can only imagine how shocked, surprised, and at first, overwhelmed we were. On Wednesday, October 29, we had our trunk or treat. I told Heath a couple of days earlier that I thought something was different. I was late and just feeling different. He said, "I think you need to take a test." I thought, yeah, that would probably put my mind at ease knowing that I'm not pregnant. We stopped by Walgreens on the way home and I bought a kit that had 3 tests! I came home, took the test, and it immediately said "pregnant". I just stared at it and didn't say anything. Heath looked at it and said, "Holy Crap!" We just couldn't believe it! I was shaking, Heath was laughing nervously, and Wyatt wanted to know what was going on. So, we said, "Do you want a brother or sister?" He adamantly shook his head yes and smiled. We said, "Well, you are!" He was so excited. He has been asking for the past 6 months if he was ever going to have siblings, so he was more than thrilled.
We called our parents and they were just as shocked as we were. For those of who know what we have gone through and how much we have been fasting and praying for an addition to our family- it is truly a miracle. As we have started thinking about things it really is the most perfect timed pregnancy. I think I am due the first of July. ( I go to the doctor on the 18th). Heath's last day of his summer session in July 3rd and then he has 6 weeks off. I will not have to miss any work. Yes, I do have to go back to work after the baby comes- Heath doesn't have a job! But, we are so thankful that mom and dad are retired and mom is willing to help out. We also can't help but think that Grandpa Rigby helped get this little one here (he passed away in August). Our favorite holiday that we always spent with him was the Fourth of July (due at the beginning of July). A sister in our ward often talks about how there are no coincidences, just small miracles. My heart is full of gratitude and we feel so blessed in so many ways. We appreciate all the prayers that have been said on our behalf over the years. Prayers are answered and our Heavenly Father does have a plan for each of us.

Fall Baseball 2008

Isn't he a cute boy? Last Saturday was the last ballgame for the Fall season. We are glad to take a little break, but he is already looking foward to the Spring season and playing with all of his friends again.



Wyatt really enjoys that Heath helps with the coaching. He talks to him often while on the field and looks to him for advice, especially when he is pitching.

I love these two pictures. We got a new camera and it takes continuous shots. Wyatt really liked these two pictures.

Halloween 2008

Wyatt and his friends had a great Halloween. Wyatt was a zombie. The night of our trunk-or-treat at church, everyone was asking where Wyatt was. We spray painted his hair black- it didn't even look like him. They had a great time going around the neighborhood. After about 45 minutes they were done. We then went with the cousins (Josh and Risa) over to their grandmother's neighborhood and Wyatt did another round. Needless to say we have plenty of candy at our house!
