Its a GIRL!!!!!!
Tuesday was the big day and though it was short, it was awesome. She was kicking and punching and sucking her thumb. I've never been so thankful to hear the word "normal" so much in my life. The doctor could see everything he needed to. The heart, kidneys, brain, spine, then checking her cute little bum to see that she's a girl. Casper Elise Biesinger... I'm so excited to meet her.

Small pieces of Awesomeness
I went shopping with Kat the other day... lol we are such bad influences on each other.
Cute new hat
Totally amazing awesome shoes...
Week 18 and 19 and more wedding
Nothing that great to report the past two weeks... really just trying to get the wedding planned and make sure I have everything.
My plans for the wedding were cut down quite a bit. Going to keep it as simple as possible. So we'll have the ceremony, take pictures, I want my first dance and my daddy daughter dance, then we can cut the cake and throw the garter and bouquet, with maybe an hour for people to stop by and say hi. Then on to VEGAS! lol.
Thinking about it this is really the last vaca we are going to get for a while. Plus since I can't drink and I've never been a big gambler, I would rather go do stuff and look at shops and take pictures with my friends that are going to be down there. I know that Dave is going to want to gamble, and I know Cooper is going to get him into some kind of wonderful trouble... but that's ok. :) Ya I know its our honey moon and all that, but its not like we haven't had the opportunity to fool around before (obiviously) lol. So being able to spend that time with friends is what will really make it special. I know we're going to have an awesome time.
Dave's ring will be paid off tomorrow, then its just focusing on getting mine. I still need to get my dress... still looking for that one. Karin is doing the cake. Mom is helping me with chairs and an arch. I need to figure out the flowers still, but other than that... Its mostly just the dress. I'm hoping I can find one that works, otherwise I'll have to improvise.... oi. Tuesday we should know what time the park will let us be there, so I can make the invites lol. Well... get the invites to Kate. I'm only going to have like 100 chairs, so some peoples may have to stand, but that's ok. Gabby and Brad will be there. Butch too probably lol.
That's at least the wedding though. Nothing to big but it will still be nice. I'm really looking forward to it. Julie is going to put the blonde in my hair, and I think as my present Trish is taking me for a mani pedi. (YEAH!!!!!!) lol love the place she goes to, they massage your legs... heaven. Then the day of, Karin is doing my makeup and hair.. Figure that's easy since I'll be all packed for vegas anyways lol.

RIP Nate Bateman Oct 13 1986 - May 11 2012
I lost a dear friend this month. May 11, my birthday, my dear friend Nate passed away due to a perscription drug overdose.
Nate and I met back my sophmore year. Jenny introduced us. Nate was... oh I'd say the first semi-serious relationship I think I've had. We dated for 4-5 years. During that time he really opened my eyes and made me a better person. We would go for walks everywhere... around his neighborhood, around my neighborhood, Bountiful, West Boutiful, North Salt Lake, orchards, fields, you name it. He was always trying to get me to sing, and finally won. lol. Gave me the courage to start singing in public and not be so shy about it.
We would talk about everything. Hanging out at his mom's, when he lived there. Or at the North Pointe apartments when he lived there with his cousin James. He would come to my dad's house and sit with me on the roof to watch the stars or stare off into the distance and just talk.
Some of my best memories were going to the dollar theature riding on the back of James (cousin) and Chris (brothers) bullet bikes in the rain. I spent the night and ended up being taken to his grandma's house for thanksgiving breakfast, (no hair brush, so my hair was a total mess but he would tell me I looked beautiful anyways). The looks from his mom were pretty funny. We were hanging out at his dad's in Kaysville, and ended up on the spur of the moment rescue mission to go save Jenny. We got halfway to the AZ border when she called it off and we had to come back... Jenny's wedding he surprised us and showed up, found out he had just gotten home from the army.
Nate would always find little rocks with words on them to stick in your pockets when you weren't looking. He collected penny's to put on his grandfather's grave. He was really close to him, and now he's buried beside him.
There is so much I could say about him. How kind he always was. Always buying gifts for friends or doing something for them. Never let you know what he was doing though. He never bragged about it and was always secrective about who he was doing what for. It was something special between him and them. His favorite store was the Dancing Crane. He took me to lunch there once. He loved going to Hawaii. Always wanting to take everyone there with him. His brothers meant everything to him. They all have the same tattoo... excpet the youngest two cause they aren't old enough for it lol. But they would draw it on with marker.
He was so OCD it was so funny. His brothers would come into his room and move his things just slightly off. If it was me I don't think I would notice, but Nate did every time. Then he spent 20 minutes making sure everything was put back into place. He had his clothes folded a specific way and put away in a specific place... shoelaces always neatly tucked inside his shoes. Clean clothes always had to be put away right away.
He loved the Om Symbol. He had it on everything. Used it in all of his decorations. It brought him a lot of peace. He was always willing to educate you on how to properly say it and what it meant.
Though Nate and I were so close and so many people thought we'd end up together, it just was not meant to be. We remained really close friends though. We did have a small fall out these past couple years, and started talking again this year. He eventually ended up dating men, and found those relationships to be just as hard as with females, but he always believed in Love. Love is blind. He was so excited to hear about Dave and I's wedding and the minion. Nate's birthday is October 13. I'm due Oct 14, I'm kinda hoping that minion will come a day early. Seems fitting that minion will be born on his and he died on mine.
His funeral was a hard one. His dad immediately recognized me. Came up and gave me a hug. His siblings are all so grown up. Jon looks just like him. I got to see some friends that I haven't seen in years, like Kristen and Nicole who were really close to him. It was hard to have them all come up and tell me that Nate had talked about me a lot and how much he loved me. The hardest part was seeing his brother Chris. Chris and Nate were so close and though he did his best to hang in there, once the army fired those 3 shots over his grave, Chris lost it. Heartbreaking.
Nate was a true friend. In every sense of the word and yes I did love him very much. I don't know how anyone could not love him. There wasn't anything in him to hate. He was an amazing person and this world has lost one amazing soul. Definitely not enough people like him in this world.
Its been hard to deal with, but I know that Nate is now with his grandfather who he loved so much and is not in pain any more. He's happy. He's home.
Makes you really think about everything that you have and how fast it can be taken away. I've really focused on forgiving others and not letting small things bother me. Dave doesn't always get why I talk to the people I do after they have screwed me over. I just see it as another opportunity to help them be better people. If I can forgive them then maybe they can learn from my example and forgive someone else. I know how lucky I am, and I don't tell the people around me how much I love them enough. I need to start doing that. God has blessed me so much, and now, if I'm lucky, maybe minion will have a guardian angel.
RIP Nate. I will miss you.

Week 17 and Wedding Updates
Week 17... The coutdown begins. Last Friday I went in for my appointment. Took a minute to find the heartbeat but we got it! Good strong and healthy. Dad went with me and he was all smiles. Then they had to take a lot of blood. The lab lost my blood from week 10 so they had to make up for it. UGH. My arm did not want to cooperate at all. Got through most of them, then started to give up. The nurse kept having to shove the needle around. It sucked. However it paid off. I got a call this morning that all the tests showed a normal healthy baby.
So also this week we finally found our second vehicle. YEAH!!!! Let me tell you one car sucked. I love this truck. Even though its totally going to be Dave's, I'll still get to drive it. Its got 4 wheel drive and will fit both kids plus butch and a car seat comfortably. Heaven. They are fixing one part on it and we should get it Monday. Cannot happen soon enough.
Also I got my first birthday gifts :). My mom and sisters got me some maternity clothes that are way super cute. Then Kat got me this cute cute little Koloa bear. I love it.
On the news of the wedding front... I did lose my dress. And honestly I'm not that upset about it. Why spend all that money on a dress that I'll wear for only a few hours when I can put it toward my ring. Which, BTW I finally FOUND!!!! So excited. So this month I'll finish paying off Dave's ring, then next month I'll be putting money away and we should get my ring at the end of June first of July. So excited. Its perfect. Once I get it I'll post pictures of the rings. :)
We have engagements scheduled for June 2, and Dave is going to be narrowing down the location this month so we can have invites ready by mid June to mail out. 2 months is flying by so quickly!!! I can't believe it!
As far as birthday goes honestly I'm just asking for help. Help with baby, help with wedding, whatever anyone can give. And I have to think of Mothers day gifts lol... oi.

Week 16
I got some coupons today... Really really really want to get this!!!
This is from a website carseatcanopy.com I found a couple codes CCMOTHER and VP5 (if any of you have any other ladies that need this, this gives $50 off)
This is the 5 piece set Reagan. Its good for both a girl or a boy. This is awesome because the fabric is super soft for Minion, and its not way heavy so its ok for summer use but its thick enough to keep Minion warm during the winter (which is what I need). Its adjustable, fits all makes and models of car seats (not included) and its machine washable. I LOVE the pattern.
Another coupon I got is for the baby carrier... this one is from sevenslings.com and I just love this color. Again neutral but pretty.
And here is my 16 week belly photo :)
