The Hunt Is On!

Well the hunt is officially on for a house. We have a time frame of... less than 5 months. Preferably before October 29th?! We would love to find a place soon so that we can get settled in before life gets too crazy with the little one. I have been searching like crazy and we are just getting stuff figured out with a realtor. Other than that our life has been consumed with family events, tearing up my parents floor, and looking for baby stuff (by the way thanks to my cute aunt Melinda who gave me a TON of baby girl stuff. Jake was very excited because it is less money that I will spend). Jake's life is more of just work and now with the Finals, watching basketball! Finally feeling so much better from being sick but the whole increase in blood making is kicking in and making me super tired. I have to take at least one nap a day. Just glad that I am at least good enough to start doing laundry again. I know Jake is happy about that. So here is to our lives changing in the next couple of months. Wish us luck!

It's a GIRL!!!

Baby Girl Pyne

I know this isn't the greatest picture but she was facing the back the whole time and I also didn't want to put pictures of her lovely women parts but I promise she is a girl! We are so excited! We really didn't care either way. Everything looks good and the she is healthy as can be. The doctor said she is a little small but I didn't expect a big 'ol Helga coming from Jake and I anyways. Also she isn't very bashful. The first thing we saw on the ultrasound were her butt cheeks and everything else. We couldn't help but laugh when the doctor said "Yep, it's definitely a girl!" I still haven't bought anything for her since we found out but all my sisters have either brought me stuff or have plans for something. I am just so excited. Jake also said the other day that she is going to watch sports with him and his friend Chris Pace said he is going to teach her how to play basketball. Knowing Chris he will try to teach her how to play Halo too. We are just so excited that everything is looking good so far. They asked if we wanted to do the tests to check for birth defects but they can see most of that from the ultrasound and there is a high chance of a false positive so we didn't care to. It would be hard if there was something wrong but we just love her so much already it wouldn't change a thing. Other than that I have gained 1 pound back but am still not back to my normal self. Still way tired and not eating a whole ton but I am sure it will get better soon. Well the next step is to pick a name but we still have 5 months for that so we are in no hurry.

Happy 3rd Anniversary

 

Jake and Lynette Pyne

May 22, 2008

Happy 3rd anniversary to the cutest guy I know. Three years ago I never really pictured my life like this. Funny how plans change for the best. In celebration of our anniversary Jake and I gave talks on the Sabbath and the Sacrament and got callings to the nursery for our short time in my parents ward. Last weekend, even though I wasn't real good, went got a place in Salt Lake just to get away for a bit. Tomorrow is our big celebration when we find out if we are having a boy or a girl. We are both pretty excited! Still can't believe that I am 17 weeks. That is almost half way! What a great reminder why I married Jake this week. He was so great to take care of me. To my amazing husband who has the biggest heart...I love you! My life would be never be as fun as it is now without you. Thanks for making me laugh and singing to me and asking me if I need a hug all the time. I love you!

Thanks

Just a little thanks to my amazing mom! This past week and a half I have been so sick and she has been taking care of me non-stop. Since my mom works at home she has taken every break she has to check on me and make me food. I know I get really frustrated sometimes with her, maybe because I realize I am as crazy as her, but I couldn't be more thankful for her than I am now. What an amazing thing moms are. They just keep going without being asked. I could not have asked for a better mom. Also thanks to my amazing sister Lucy who has been checking on me and taking care of me. I am truly blessed with an amazing family. Then of course Jake who has been stuck inside the last week, except Friday and Saturday, because I haven't had the energy to leave the house. Thanks to all of you. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow so hopefully it will be fixed then.

Still Sick

Man I was just getting over the nausea and sickness of the first trimester and then I got a horrible cough and cold. At my last doctor's appointment the doctor said "you know you can eat anything you want right?" Well don't tell my doctor, but I have actually lost weight since I last saw him. I am getting the baby bump and other areas are getting larger but I must be losing it somewhere else because I hardly ever eat. Especially with being sick I can hardly choke down anything I can. Hopefully I am at the end of it because it has been a bad week. I was finally feeling a little better yesterday so Jake and I went to Salt Lake for our early anniversary (it is next week but Jamie's open house is that weekend). It was nice just to get out of my parents house. I am in a catch 22 because I think I would do better if I wasn't at my parent's house but then I haven't been feeling real great to find homes. We have done our pre-approval and have started looking but nothing too much. Found one but realized the area in the backyard is zoned for commercial property one a corner...aka probably a gas station. Not going to happen. So if anyone knows of any ideas of cheap homes or lists please let us know. We are looking in the Salt Lake area to North Lehi up to probably 180,000 or so. Let us know.

Other than that, we are getting pretty excited because we find out what we are having in 1 week and 2 days. The day after our anniversary. Take guesses and lets see who is right. Can't wait to find out. I am hoping a little bit for a boy but really could care less. Just excited!

Congratulations to the Sexiest Man I Know!

Yep that's Jake! I thought how ungrateful I would be if I didn't say congratulations to the most amazing man I know. Jake is such a hard worker who has come such a long way. When I met Jake he wanted to go to BYU in International Business. I was smitten right then. Then as the time approached he realized his true love was technology and music. Then he decided that maybe Digital Media was not going to provide for our family. So he decided maybe Engineering. So we packed our bags and moved to Logan. There on Jake's first day of class of MIS (Management Information Systems) he realized his true love and expertise: computers. He is great with computers and good with talking to people. He then did some research and found out that he was going to go into Information Systems. This is business and technology in one which is like a piece of every single major that he explored. He finished just last Friday with amazing grades and a job already. He has truly found what he is good at. Some people I know have made comments to him about changing his mind but I will tell you I would do it all over again. Every piece of this journey has taught me and mostly Jake about ourselves and what the Lord has in store for us. At each stop we have had chances to grow and help others. He has gotten great internships, jobs, and now his career that he is at now. Jake absolutely loves his job. He gets off whenever he wants and goes to lunch with the guys all the time. This summer they are doing a baseball league and going golfing every Friday. He could not have asked for a greater blessing. So here is to the most amazing man I know! You did it. Only 5 years later and you did it! I am so proud of you! Thanks for being the amazing person that you are! I love you!
