Its been awhile since we wrote on the blog, but since we have the opportunity Lane and I decided to post an update.
First thing that happened was the heartbeat. The first thought that went through my head was being afraid there wouldnt be a heartbeat. I was scared. Lane asked the doctor if it took time to find the heartbeat. His reply was " Its like finding a needle in a haystack." Then we both heard it, I cant describe in words the feeling of warmth and realization that we are actually having a baby, and a live healthy baby is living inside of me. Lane seemed to be in shock.. I think it took him awhile to form words. But eventually he told me,"...Wow."
The morning sickness came to haunt me again, back and forth, but i was allowed a few weeks reprief inbetween bouts. Right now we are at 15 wekks. About 4 months!!!! Our next appointment is in 4 weeks on December 21, 2010. THE WEEK OF CHRISTMAS!! We are both excited to know if we are expecting a boy or girl.
As for names, our girl is still Hannah Rachel Anderson, but we are still undecided with a boy name. This makes me think that we are having a girl, but its just hopeful thinking.
Thanksgiving is coming this week, for me it will be strange not to be with my family. Since they decided to leave for New York. I am looking forward to spending time with my new family, that came with Lane. Its hard to have energy to cook, but Lane is right by my side helping me put food together, and Bake!! I think he might turn out a better cook than me! Which is fine, he can prepare the meals! So for us, its nice to wave goodbye to the 1st trimester, and welcome the 2nd!
We wish our family and friends love! And a happy holidays!!
Boy or Girl anyone????

Doctor Appointment! AND Name Update!
After two weeks of miserable morning sickness, and little hope of it surpassing, Lane and I decided we would go to our Doctor.
At the appointment we discovered we were 6 1/2 weeks along, a few more weeks and we can hear the heartbeat! That was exciting. He prescribed something for nausea, but it was so expensive. So we decided to try a product called prego pops, which helped nausea. Lane went and got them for me, but they were actually called B-Natal ( lolly pops with 35 mg of B6 vitamin) It made my morning sickness subside. I HAVENT GOT SICK ONCE TODAY!!! Other than ALOT of blood work, and getting a book for the process of being pregnant, that was our first visit. Im still undecided if i want to stay with a male doctor, but since he has been my family doctor for 3 years, i am leaning toward the idea of staying with him.
Lane got his old job, which is a blessing :) a lot of stress has been lifted from our shoulders. He keeps saying how excited he is for the baby!
As for our baby names :)
Girl: Hannah Rachel Anderson
Boy: Deklan Samuel Anderson
Our exciting family unit cant wait to meet the new soul! I hate waiting!

Cliffhanger revealed...with two tiny hands and two little feet in May!
Yes most of you guys guessed that there was a "bun in the oven" and you are correct.
THE story!!!!
We thought we were pregnant about a few weeks ago,but didn't know for sure.Lane and i planned on getting a pregnancy test from wal-mart,but i decided i would go across the street and get it at rexall drug store instead.
-Waiting-
minus or plus?? It seemed like forever waiting for that symbol, wondering if our life would change forever..IT said minus...and my heart sunk! I was thinking on how i was going to tell lane that i wasnt, because both of us were hoping it would be true. My mind raced with thoughts of disappointment..I looked down and saw at the corner of the page an illustration of a minus with a very, almost invisible line. I read further, and it said no matter how light one of the lines are, pregnant is still pregnant..SO all of a sudden in a matter of 30 seconds i went from dissapointed and depressed to elated and excited. I called Lane right away to tell him the good news. Later he told me he had to sit down, while i was telling him the story of our future newborn...ALREADY mischievous our little one was being. Lane was speechless! He didnt know what to say or think. All he could tell me was how much he loved me when he came home, and how he looked at me with a new adoration in his eyes.
So we had to confirm the pregnancy test through a doctor's office so we could get medicaid and help, and ust to know for sure. The first place we went to was Instacare, and they were going to charge us 130 bucks! crazy, when all hope was lost, we went back to my family doctor, the place of our reception and only had to pay 37 bucks. I had drank so much water that day and i desperatley wanted to use the bathroom. Lane thought it would of been a blood test, so he suggested i could use the bathroom. i knowing that it could be a urine test didnt want to chance it. GOOD THING I DID! she gave me a cup, and i was so glad that i waited!
We waited about 20 minutes, antsy to find out the results. Even though i knew i was pregnant, i could feel the changes already happen, the fear of denial still resided with me. She called out my name and handed me a paper, and then looked at me and said.."You already know you're pregnant right?" and I had a new joyous feeling burst within me. All day i couldnt stop hugging lane and being very excited. So many blessings in our family!
So there you have it May 2 is the estimated due date, but hopefully i can see an OB doctor pretty soon to get a more exact date!
That is our story!

Anderson Adventures...
Being a newly wed is fun, but saying goodbye to my mom and dad wasnt one of those fun times. In a way lane and i will start our own adventure without them. We are starting school next week, and I got financial Aid. I made a mistake on Lane's fasfa, mistyped his birthday, so we have to make corrections and fix his. Which will be doing school rush. I feel so bad! I dearly love my husband, and cant wait for the new exciting things to occur.
I think back on how much both of us have grown, spiritually, and mentally. The stress of moving. Getting along with others that shall not be named. I realized if lane and i would go back to the singles ward, since we miss it so dearly, that everyone would seem..different. Mostly because marriage is something that's a physical change that happens. There is compromise, Sharing, Discussing, Acts of Kindness..and so much more that i cant think of at the moment.
I'm so grateful that i have this wonderful growing experience. Other events sure to happen in the future, but as long as lane and I continue to go to the temple, pay tithing, and have faith all will be, what will be. And we will be eternally grateful for what the lord has chosen for us to experience.
