Sad day...
This morning I had my 2nd Dr's appointment, he went to hear the heart beat and he couldn't find it. He said that sometimes happens because 12 weeks is the earliest you can hear the heart beat. So we went to the ultra sound room to see if he could see the heart beat. When he did the ultra sound, he said he measured the baby at 9 1/2 weeks, I was supposed to be 12 weeks along. And he couldn't see the heart beat. He told me I had a "missed miscarriage". So, I had a miscarriage, but my body didn't recognize it, so my baby is still inside of me, but its not alive. So on Friday I'll go in for a D&C.
When I hit about 9 1/2-10 weeks, i noticed I started feeling a lot better, I wasn't nauseous anymore, or tired, I didn't feel pregnant anymore. I thought I was lucky and my first trimester symptoms had ended early. Before I started feeling better, I felt like crap and I couldn't wait for it to be over. But right now, I can't wait to feel like crap again!
I do believe that this happened for a reason, and I'll have a baby when I'm supposed to. And now I'm just trying to focus on the positive side of things. Before we got pregnant we were planning on going to Disney world in June, and now we can go. Even though I'd rather have a baby then go to Disney World. I'm glad this happened now, and not while I was further along. And I hear that after you get pregnant once its easier to get pregnant again.
If you know me very well, you know that I can't keep a secret, especially when it's exciting news. So when I found out I was pregnant, we told immediate family, a couple Friends, and people at work (it's especially hard to keep secrets from people I see every day). So I decided to blog about this to let everyone who knew I was pregnant know that I'm not now. I didn't want to have to explain this a bunch of times. So now I've learned my lesson and next time I won't tell people until I'm further along. Even though its fun to tell people exciting news, It sucks even more to tell people bad news.

Our Summer part 2 of 2
This is my skinny picture. you wouldn't be able to tell if I didn't tell you, but I'm biting my cheeks so i look skinnier. I took a couple of these and my sisters thought it was funny, so i thought i would share.
So in August my sister Sarina and her family drove to Utah from Connecticut, which was really exciting because they don't come here very often. Also my other Sister Angie moved out to Utah. And my brothers came down from Idaho Falls for a weekend. So we had the whole family here except for my sister Kim and her family in Hawaii. Well, it was alot of fun. Like I said earlier, I don't remember alot of details. But I do remember there was some baseball a little volleyball, and some BBQ's. And I don't remember much else.
My niece with Annie. Annie is scared of most of my nieces and nephews, I think because they aren't around dogs very much and she can sense that by the way they chase her. But I think Halli has more dog expeirience so Annie wasn't as scared of her.
I think the highlight of my summer is when Lexie and Abby re-inacted Taylor Swift's video of "you belong with me". I tried to upload the video but it wouldn't work. It was very entertaining for me.
Then there was more singing. Justin and Sarina Sang while Justin played his guitar. I tried to join in but everyone told me to stop.

Our Summer part 1 of 2
So I didn't take a lot of pictures, and I really wish I did, I'm going to work on that. The little pictures that we did take were mostly of Annie. Anyway, for the carter family Reunion we went camping in the Uintas for half the week and bear lake for the rest of the week. Next time someone says, "hey, lets go camping for a week". I'm going on a cruise or something because camping is not my idea of a vacation. Not anymore anyway. My husband has turned me into a city girl! I used to be able to "rough it" like no other! but the first night we arrived in the Uintas we couldn't figure out how to put the tent up that we borrowed from my brother Troy. See, we figured we were camping for a week so instead of using our little 4 man tent we would use Troy's tent that we could actually stand up in. But we couldn't put it up, luckily Clint's dad had an extra tent. Unluckily it was a 3 man tent. but at least we didn't have to sleep outside. Our air mattress took up the whole tent. It was pretty much the worst night of my life, by the time we woke up in the morning our air mattress had completely deflated. And it was freezing cold. So spending the rest of the week in a 3 man tent and no air mattress was not an option. The next day we went to Evanston (an hour drive) to get a 7 man tent and an air mattress. It was much better. We figured even though we won't be camping much in the future, since I've learned I no longer enjoy it, we could use it for ward camps and other times when we are forced to camp (like family reunions). So that was the Uintas. By the way even though it was July it was cold like 90% of the time up there (Clint thought it was hot), and there were like a bazillion mosquito's.

She's Here...
This is her favorite blanket to lay on.
She likes to hide under the bed for some reason.
She knows that her treats are in the pantry so every time we get something out of the pantry to stands on her hind legs waiting for a treat. Its so cute so most of the time we give her a treat.
This is Annie dancing (she mostly just spins around, but its really cute).

Winter '09
We were even able to go see the Utah Jazz play. Clint is very proud of the fact that he has made Marnae a Jazz fan. She will occasionally even watch the games and get into them. If you ask her she name can multiple players. Her favorite player is Kyle Korver, while Clints is Deron Williams and Ronnie Price.
That's about all we have been up to this winter. We are both excited for spring to be here but sad to see the snow melt. We have alot of things planed this summer and we will keep all up to date.

Christmas!!!
Even though Christmas was about one month ago, we figured we should give everyone an update. We had the chance to spend Christmas with Clint's parents. It was alot of fun and we had a great time. Marnae received a new digital camera, and Clint got a bunch of movies. Clint had a great time playing with the dogs, they wore him out.
