Webcam Fun!

So, Scott and I had a really hilarious time taking these pictures with my computer's webcam. I was laughing so hard that I was crying. Enjoy!!!

Here are the latest ultrasound pictures. In the first, the baby's hand is touching his head. The second is a picture of his face. Isn't he just so cute!?!?

Baby Holdaway Ultrasound Pictures!!!

Here are the ultrasound pictures of our baby. While we were watching the ultrasound, it started to jump around like a little frog. It was so cute! We also got to listen to the baby's heartbeat. It was so amazing. Actually seeing the little heart beat was also amazing. Scott and I are both very happy and loved to see the baby.

Here's the not so good news. On Sunday, I started feeling very sharp pains in my abdomen and cramping, and then I started bleeding a few hours later. We talked to the on-call doctor at our health center and she told us that if the pain gets worse and the bleeding gets worse then we should go to the emergency room, but if not we should try to get an appointment with our doctor on Monday morning. Eventually, Scott and I decided that we didn't want to wait to find out what was wrong, so we went to the ER. There, the doctors did an ultrasound, took blood, and did other tests to find out what was wrong. They told me that I had a subchorionic hemorrage that was relatively large. At about 2:30 am, they discharged me, telling me to come back if it got worse and to call the health center first thing in the morning to schedule an appointment.

This morning, I woke up to find out that I had bled some more, and we made an appointment with the doctor. They did another ultrasound and measured the hemorrage, and it had gotten a bit bigger. So, I am supposed to lay low for a while and take it easy, though I'm not officially on bed rest. Anyhow, the pregnancy is completely healthy and the baby is fine, but we simply have to wait and see if the hemorrage will stabilize, so keep us in your prayers. Enjoy the pictures!

Hilarious Pictures of Scott

So, over time I have collected quite a portfolio of hilarious Scott pictures. They are usually just random pictures that have been taken on very random and unimportant days. I thought it would be fun for everyone to see this side of him. Don't worry, I got his permission. He said, "The world needs to see this."

The Mushroom Ninja...

...has met his match.

I think he was losing it.

He's the blonde walking away from us. For some reason, I think this picture is really funny.

We we in the shark section of the aquarium when this picture was taken.
I think it was having an effect on him.

Picasso? or is he about to sneeze?

Something in your eye there buddy?

He was getting frustrated with his pumpkin.

Yummy!

Argh!

Bainbridge Island

Scott and I took a ferry to Bainbridge Island a while back, and here are a few pictures we took during the trip. Enjoy!

Seattle

Hey ya'll! Just wanted to post another update, since I actually have time to post now that the semester's over. Maybe this time, I'll actually be able to get Scotty to post a word or two!

1. So, we're living in Seattle now. The freeway is down the road, and the city center is very close, visible just over a hill after entering the freeway. Jennifer lives about 2 hours from us, and we plan on visiting her this weekend for Mother's Day and Marian's baby blessing, as well as next weekend to celebrate both mine and Scott's birthdays.

2. Our apartment complex has a pool, and our apartment is actually right above it, so we have a really good view. We also have tons of nice windows and a balcony. Since Seattle is cloudy and rainy a lot of the time, not to mention cold, we haven't really thought about swimming much, but we found out yesterday that the pool is heated! How exciting is that? Needless to say, I went out and bought myself a bathing suit today.

3. The internship is going well. I am still a little confused about what I'm supposed to be doing for the internship class (there are like 5 different syllabi online and I can't figure out which one I'm supposed to be following) but work is going well. We haven't had too much to do so far, except set up the office and settle into our apartment, but today we started calling people and setting up appointments. It was a little scary calling people at first, but I just act like I expect them to cooperate, and that usually works out pretty well.

4. The city is pretty cool, but we haven't really visited much of it. We took a two hour tour when we got here (our tour guide was Dr. Day, the primary investigator of the research project we are here carrying out) and we visited some really pretty spots. Seattle is cool because even though it's a city, there are tons of trees! AND they all look like Dr. Seuss trees, which is a major plus. I'll keep you all updated on all of the fun stuff we do, if we ever get around to it.

5. Hey everyone this is Scott! Camilla gave me the sad eyes so I guess I'll write something... Well, Seattle is really cool. It's the first big city I've lived in and it's pretty nice. Camilla and I are excited about swimming in the pool here, especially since she just got a new bathing suit. We've also got some interviews set up now which I'm looking forward to doing. It's cool to see how other people live and to have the opportunity (possibly) to tell them about the church and how we live and stuff. I look forward to the family coming out here this summer! It'll be really cool to see you all again!

Well, I got Scott to post! It took a while with the puppy eyes, but it finally worked. Hope you enjoyed it!

Update

1. So, last week it was warm. This week it's snowing. Go figure.

2. Before it started snowing, it was raining, and the sidewalks were covered with worms. I was the only one on campus trying to avoid stepping on them. I looked like a drunk person playing hop-scotch.

3. Classes are over. Thank goodness. Now, if I live through finals week, I can start to think about next semester. Will it ever end?

4. Actually, to answer that last question, I am almost done with school. This summer, I am taking an internship. After that, I only have 7 classes left before I graduate with my BS in Marriage, Family, and Human Development. Anyone need any family/marriage/parenting advice? BYU bonus: we learn the research facts in conjunction with gospel principles.

5. After finals week ends, Scott and I are moving to Seattle for the summer, where I'm doing my internship. Scott is doing it with me, but he's not doing it for the internship credit, just for the money. Actually, if Scott didn't get hired as well, I wouldn't have taken the internship, 'cause that would mean seperating for 4 months, and I just could not do that.

In case anyone's interested, the internship is for the Flourishing Families Project, a longitudinal research study that is investigating the new frontier in family sciences. The research is invaluable, and is one of the largest, most comprehensive research projects studying family processes at this time. It's purely academic, not affiliated with the church, and will be a very credible source in the world of academia. Soon, professors and researchers all over the country will be citing research findings from this study. Part of the study is also dedicated to researching LDS families, and it is the largest study ever done on LDS families.

6. I think I have convinced Scott that we need a new couch. We got the one we have now from Deseret Industries, which is like a thrift store kind of deal. It's an ugly pinkish color and old with birds all over it, and it's squeaky. Not my dream couch, but it only cost $45 . I saw a deal in the newspaper today that said if we buy $500 worth of furniture, we get $500 worth of groceries free. RC Willey outlet store couches aren't even that cheap!

7. Scott and I are doing well. I love being married and am very happy, and I get the impression that Scott is as well. He is a very sweet man. Everyone needs their own personal Scotty to brighten up a cloudy, snowy, wormy day.

8. Scott has decided to become an archaeologist. We want to live a life of adventure and glory, just like Indiana Jones.
