Finally....a positve result!

Okay, so it has been awhile since I have posted so I better catch everyone up.

January was a busy month for Ryan and I. First thing first....we found out that we are pregnant on January 17th! When I first took the test and saw a positive sign, I was in shock because the last few months all I saw was negatives. I ended up buying like 5 more tests to take because I had to be sure before I started calling everyone and sure enough they were all positive. We were so very excited. I went to the doctor the next day to get bloodwork done to confirm the pregnancy and that is when the month got a bit scary. My bloodwork came back showing I was definitly pregnant but my HCG levels (the pregnancy hormone) were very low. I ended up having to go get my blood drawn every two days for about two weeks. Most of you know that me and blood do not get along. I usually pass out every time and just a month before I found out I was pregnant I had to get blood drawn and I had a bad experience and passed out three or four times in the doctors parking lot...it was awful. So those two weeks of blood giving were not easy for me. Luckily I had my momma and Ryan and they came to my appointments with me to support me. Having my blood drawn started to get easier and easier. Good thing too, because I will be getting poked and proded a lot during this pregnancy. Well my HCG levels doubled and even tripled every two days so the doctor gave me two thumbs up and said he would see me when I was nine or ten weeks along. I was so relieved to know that everythingw as okay. I am six and a half weeks along and my due date is September 26th! These next eight months are going to be crazy but Ryan and I are so excited! So far I have had no morning sickness, so I have been lucky in that department but I better knock on wood because I pray I don't get it. I have had lot's of other symptoms and I call the nurse at my doctors office a million times a week...LOL. It is my first pregnancy so everything scares me and I am scared to use half the stuff in my house! Ryan and I even picked names already. If we have a girl we will name her Kaydence Grace and if we have a boy we will name him Keegan Ryan. I love both of those names and so does Ryan...which is amazing because he hated every other name I thought of. Well if anyone has any great advice for pregnancy and what not, send it my way because I am going to need it!

December Catch Up

Well December has been a crazy month for Ryan and I. We have been trying to get ready for Christmas and enjoy this wonderful time of year. Ryan and I are currently trying to get pregnant and let me just say it has been tough. I started clomid in November for the first time and we just found out that it didn't work. We were very sad but we went to the doctor and got another perscription, this time he doubled it YIKES, and we are going to try again. I have always been one of those girls that loves kids and I have grown up my whole life wanting a big huge family to care for one day. I am trying to not get discouraged but it is so hard. I know that I will be blessed in some way with kids but it may not be the way I had hoped for. I have a few medical problems that will make having children of my own very difficult, but hey, we are up for the challange...right babe! Anywho...hopefully this time around it will work, I can't imagine a better way to start the new year.

This month we had Ryan's work party for Energy Solutions. Now that they own the old Delta Center, we got to attend a Jazz game this year. We first went to the Salt Palace for Dinner. It was really yummy! The company had a lot of prizes and give aways this year. One of the prizes were ticket upgrades to the Jazz game. Well....they pulled Ryan's name and we ended up winning third row floor seat tickets worth $500 a piece. We also got VIP passes and parking. The VIP passes allowed us to be part of the Lexus club, which is for high profile members. We got a free open bar all night and the most amazing food you could imagine. We were so close to the players I could pretty much tough them and Larry H. Miller was only 7 seats down from us. It was such a fun experience. It just happened to be my first Jazz game ever and the tickets we had before that were wayyyyyyy in the nosebleeds so it was such a great bonus. After the game we got to stay in a really nice hotel room. It was a really fun night!

I want to take a moment to talk about my family. I often think about my family and how lucky I am to have them. My mom and dad are just amazing. They are the most supportive and wonderful people I know. I can always count on my Dad to lift my spirits and make me smile. There are days when I get upset or sad and all I have to do is call him and he literally takes all the bad away. My mom is my very best friend and she does so much for me. I look up to her in more ways then she could imagine. I hope that Ryan and I have a marriage like there's 10, 20, 30 , etc. years down the road. I am just so thankful to have them as parents and as friends and I really miss them. We only live about 40 minutes away but I don't get to see them as often as I would like and I just hope they always know how much they mean to me. My brother and sister-in-law are also so special to me. I coudn't ask for a better brother in this world. He has always been there for me and has been such a great example to me. I have watched him be a wonderful brother, a loving husband, and an amazing daddy. Luckily for me...he married a great woman, whom I love very much. Alli is such a great person and she has shown me more then she knows about love and patience. I am so lucky to have her as a sister and as a friend. My nephew Blake is the sweetest and funniest little boy on this planet. I just love him to death. I always pull out the pictures I have of him and look at them and laugh...and cry too because I don't see him near enough. He is such a special and loved kid and now they have another one on the way that we get to love too. I also want to mention my Grandpa and Grandma....they are by far the most amazing people you will ever meet. All I can say about them is that I love them so much and I would not be who I am if it wasn't for their love and words of wisdom. I hope that as my life continues I learn to be as selfless and caring as they are. Our whole family is so lucky to have them in our lives and I cherish every moment I have had with them. The rest of my family....Tracy, Josh, Brian, Uncle Mike and Suzi, Easton, Braydon.....I love you guys so much and I think about you always. I am so thankful to have all of you in my life. Your support and love through out the years means so much to me and I love all the memories that we continue to make.....See you all soon at the Christmas parties..I LOVE YOU!

New at this....

Okay....so I decided that I needed to join the fun and create one of these blogs. I will just introduce us real quick. We are the Pitt's...LOL...Ryan and Dani Pitt. We just got married on October 13th and it was the most amazing day of my life. We have a sweet dog named Roxi and she is a Maltese. We love her very much and she is pretty much our child. In fact we spoiled the crap out of her this Christmas. Anyways...Ryan and I have a home that we built in 2006 in Tooele. We LOVE living in Tooele. I only wish I was closer to my family because I get home sick a lot! We both have amazing families and we are very dedicated to all of them. We also have a group of friends that we are incredibly close with and we consider them family to the fullest. Ryan works at Energy Solutions as a health physicist and I work at Doppelmayr CTEC doing accounting. I also go to school full time to be a teacher....I only have about 11 months left and I can't wait to teach! I know I was meant to do it. Well that is about us for as far as introductions go. I'm excited to be able to keep in touch with my family this way...love you all!
