Baby Troyer Ultrasound Pics!

So we have our first pics of our baby!!! We are 11 weeks and 1 day, the doctor said everything went well for our appointment and everything looks good and healthy. :)
Such a relief and an answer to prayer.
It was great the baby was moving around like crazy(hard to believe I can't feel it yet). It even turned around and looked at us and waved! It was so precious!
Now we are two months away from founding out the sex...so this idea we've had for 3 years we finally get to do...we will have the doctor write down what the baby is and we will go to the store and pick out a boy/girl outfit, have the cashier put the correct outfit in a giftbox and we will take it home and open it Christmas morning.
After seeing this little baby yesterday...it just made me feel so calm, at peace, full of joy, and thankfulness for God and His precious gift to us. We actually get to do all the things we said we'd always do. It makes me feel so blessed, and just happy! We have a 16 week appt the monday before Thanksgiving and on december 22 we get to find out the sex(well three days later). :)
So here are our first pics of our little sweetpea, we are so in love and so happy...God is so good!

In need of prayer

This morning I woke up and was getting for a babysitting job and the day....I started having some cramps and some bleeding. I started to freak out..to put it mildly.
I called the doctor and they told me to relax and rest for the day...so I'm lying in bed and relaxing, well actually stressing. I feel so worried about everything, we prayed that God would only allow us to get pregnant if it was the right time. Health issues, complications anything...that it would only happen if everything would work out ok.
Now here I am stressing, having some cramps and spotting stuck in bed worrying.

*Please God help me relax, protect my baby and me...please help me to trust you and not be afraid. Please give me my baby, I really want it and I really need you to help me, I'm afraid if I lose it I won't be ok. So much has been ripped away from me I can't have this happen to my baby too. Please, please have mercy..help my appt tomorrow to go so well and give me some peace.
1 Peter 5:7

We are having a Baby!!!

Jeph and I are having a baby!!!!!!!! Here are some pics from the day we found out...we are so excited and can't believe God is blessing us with this wonderful part of life! We already had our first appointment and they said everything looks good so far. We have our first ultrasound appointment in two weeks and we are both getting more and more excited!!
We have a nursery plan for each sex so once we find out at Christmas what the baby is..we can get started. :) We have a list of projects to finish in the next few months but we are so excited it doesn't matter that we have things to do. :)
We are just so happy right now and feel so blessed by God that we can hardly contain ourselves! Check back often for Baby Troyer updates!

Fall Favorites

Fall is my favorite time of year, actually it's Jephs too! We love everything about Fall!!!! I just had to post about fall...in fact over the next couple months everything I post about will have to do with Fall. So whether you like Fall or not I hope by the end of this wondeful Fall season you will love Fall too!

Things I love about Fall:

Football...Seahawks and Beavers!
Weather...crisp chill, rain, storms basically all weather.
Food...whether it's soup/stew, hot chocolate, pie, casseroles, and we can't forget the holiday food.
Beverages at Starbucks...caramel apple cider,pumpkin spice latte,peppermint mocha
Fall Decor...I just love scarecrows, pumpkins, serveware is fall like leaf plates, and apple shaped bowl.
Clothes and Shoes: Boots, tights, hats, sweaters, wraps, pants, jeans, scarves, gloves, coats..you name it fall clothes rock!
Fall is the beginnng of harvest parties where we carve pumpkins, holidays are right around the corner...Fall puts a spring in my step and makes me feel alive. Nothing beats Fall and I am so thankful God gave us this magical time of year. I hope you enjoy Fall too! :)

Beach Pics

On Sunday Jeph and I got to go down to Pelican Pub and celebrate my Uncle Jims 50th birthday! We spent the afternoon in Lincoln City we dropped stuff off at Goodwill, we stopped at the craft store and picked up some things. Then we headed to Cape Kiwanda a little early..we spent an hour at the beach and took some great beach photos for our beach bathroom. It was so warm and sunny we just enjoyed ourselves so much. :) Here are some photos from our wonderful Sunday afternoon...a much needed time to relax and be together...to top it off we got to have a wonderful dinner with family!

An Update

So it's been awhile since I've blogged. I guess I was discouraged and just trying to focus on so many other things. :)Now summer is over and fall is here so our lives just keep getting busier but honestly better then they have been in so long. I'm really seeing God's faithfulness and direction in our lives and feeling content. Last month our summer ended with a huge trip down to a Stanford/OSU Beaver game in Palo Alto California...we also got to go down to Santa Cruz and the boardwalk, see family and friends and just get away. Here are some pics from Summers end for us...

Football Preseason is Here!!!!

Finally...after many long months of everything but football...tonight the first preseason game is officially on!!! :) It's such a relief for Jeph and I...we are so excited to finally have football back on!!!! As you know we are crazy for our Seahawks and Oregon State Beavers!! My dad has season tickets to the Beavers and has given us a ticket to every game we want!! Seahawks we have shared season tickets with my uncle Jim for the last few years. This year we put in for our own season tickets(so by next year) we should have them...we still intend to attend 3 games in Seattle this year we just can't ever live without it now!!:)

So tonight we are watching Sunday Night Football...eating dinner and finally feeling like it's time for fall and football!!!

Bring it on!!!
