Get Ready World

This morning we had our first ultrasound. We get asked a lot how far a long we are. We were 7 weeks pregnant yesterday. (I know it seems like we should be so much farther than that since we started this whole IVF process in June.) So we show up, go in to the exam room. I can't initially see the screen but Devan can. He immediately knew. Then the nurse lady gal said "are you ready for the Gregory twins." Simutaneously we both took a big breath of air. Its hard to believe! It's crazy! It's wonderful! It's scary! It's a miracle! Did I mention it's scary?
So there you have it. Do you think the world is ready for Gregory twins? Scary thought isn't it?

Ghost Falls Hiking

On Saturday we went hiking with some of Devan's family up to Ghost Falls in Draper. We had a lot of fun, the trail was beautiful and we even saw a rattlesnake.

Here's the whole gang at the ghost falls bridge.

I'm not sure what most people do when they're hiking and see a rattle snake. Well, the Gregorys grab a stick, poke it (from a somewhat safe distance) and watch :)

Later that evening we took Katie's kids swimming up at Sams. Here they're having a race.

So Cute!

BFP

In the world of infertility we use a lot of abbreviations...such as DH (dear husband), TTC (trying to conceive.) Well, Devan and I are pleased to announce that after a couple of blood tests we got a BFP. Also known as a BIG FAT POSITIVE. Yup, we're preggers. While we are extremely happy to hear the news, we're cautiously optimistic. Just over three years ago we were pregnant. However, I had a miscarriage between 6 & 7 weeks. Seeing and hearing a heartbeat is something that I'm extremely looking forward to. I think I will feel much better once we get to that point.

This weekend we went to Yuba Lake w/ Scott & Sarah and many of our other great friends from our old ward. No, I didn't go tubing :)

A Special Visit From Oregon

My parents and Mason left yesterday to go back to Oregon. They were able to come and spend a whole week with us. It was really nice to have them here. Not only did my mom help me out a ton while I was out of commission, but it helped the first part of the dreaded 2 week wait go by a little quicker. I have a couple pics to share but first I want to say this...I worry that I scared people away with my last couple of posts. I was trying to let everyone know what questions I would rather not be asked. And instead, I feel like everyone is scared to ask me anything. That wasn't my intent. So...ask away...okay?
Back to my pics. First of all, this was the first time my parents brought Mason. He had a ton of fun, plus it so great to be able to spend so much time with him.

On Saturday we had a fun filled day of walking around Cabella's and taking Mason to the Lehi Legacy center pool

Mason took this picture of us at Cabela's. Not to shabby for a 5 year old :)

On Wednesday my dad took Mason the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point. He loved digging around in the sand. That night (after finally getting off bed rest) we all went out to dinner at Tokyo. Normally Devan and I go for the sushi but this time we went for the teppan side.

By the way, this is the best smile I've ever seen!

My dad, Mason and Garald went to temple square on Thursday while my mom & I did a home spa day.

We made a hair treatment and face mask for our spa day. We got the recipes off of the OurBestBites website.

And we hung out with the Veenker's.

On the last night we spent together I asked Mason what his favorite part of the whole trip was. No surprise...his answer was "the zipline."
