Newlywed fun!

Here are some pictures of Ed and me enjoying married life. It truly is fabulous! Just click on the picture of Ed above to see the album!

Everything is going to be just fine!

Anyone that has seen me lately knows that maternity clothes still remain optional for me. Dr. Berry and I discussed this at my prenatal visit yesterday and he thought it would be a good idea for me to go for another ultrasound. I thought for sure that they were going to change baby's due date, but it turns out that baby is the right size for 34 weeks.

Was I ever relieved. My hips are getting sore and I am getting cranky. I am also getting really excited to see this little Yu baby who has been dancing so much lately. The ultrasound technician offered to make another video of baby for me but the only clear shot she had of baby's face looked a little like Skeletor.

This time was better though since our last ultrasound was in December; I could see baby's heart beating, the stomach, bladder, ribs and spine. Baby even had her/his little hands in front of his/her face like a little boxer, it was so cute! It's so amazing how baby turned out so perfectly! I was so worried at the beginning of my pregnancy because I wasn't able to keep much down for the first 4-5 months, but baby made it through! What a miracle every little baby is!

little dancing baby!

The baby was up Tuesday night until 4 am dancing! I am pretty sure that baby thought he/she was at a rave. Well they say that if the baby is moving a lot it's sign that he/she is healthy, so we know that the baby definitely healthy.

I have been trying to post some pictures from our ultrasound on here but it doesn't seem to be taking. I guess you will just have to use your imagination as to what our baby looks like. Honestly though the ultrasound pictures also leave a lot to the imagination. I guess in two months we will really know what baby looks like anyway!

I am getting quite excited as Easter is coming next week which also the anniversary of our engagement. What a great way to celebrate, with chocolate, ham and scalloped potatoes! Looking back the last year has gone by quite fast, but I might add that a lot has happened too. I am looking forward to finding out what the coming years have to offer.

Our first entry

As most of you know Ed and I had another website before we were married. That was a lot of fun but as time passed and we got busy with other things and forgot the password. Therefore we haven't been able to update it at all. So we put our heads together and thought that maybe a blog would be a better choice for us.

Not too much has happened since the wedding in July. We are pretty much settled in Strathmore and don't plan on moving again for a very long time. I really like the country atmosphere and working at a small town hospital is a change that I like.

Ed of course is still teaching out in Hussar. He just loves it out there! I don't blame him, the more time that I spend out there the more I love it too! Everyone is so friendly and down to earth.

We are expecting a little bundle of joy in the middle of May. The official date we were given after our ultrasound was May 15th but we are both thinking that the baby will be late. No, we don't whether it is a boy or a girl. To us it didn't make any difference if we knew, so we are looking forward to the surprise on baby's birthday. Honestly I am more interested to know who the baby will look like!

Married life is great, like Ed and I keep saying "if we had known it was going to be this great we would have done it years ago". Ed is certainly a catch and anyone that knows him, knows that I am right.

I am taking my maternity leave in two weeks so I am sure that there will be plenty of postings to come!

Reception Chinese Style

Our reception lineup is now done! We went to Toronto to have our Chinese reception. It was wonderful! Meg became the new member of the Yu or "Yee" family. There were about a hundred people there and only about 10 white people...heh heh...Our Chinese relatives were so impressed with Meg and her Chinese. They really got a kick out of her speaking to them in Chinese. The food was so good! It was so good to see everyone who came! Thank you for coming! My great uncle gave us a great speech for us emphasizing the family unit as the fundamental unit of culture and development. Universal principles but the Chinese just have a way of saying it... :) So now we are relaxing and our honeymoon can start. We shall be back in Alberta soon and life will begin normally...More updates soon!

Welcome to the Yu family!!!

Yay!! We were sealed for time and all eternity in the Cardston Temple at 12:00 p.m. on Friday July 7th 2006. We watched the weather network closely for the last month and saw the thuderstorms and thundershower warnings take up the week. Even Thursday night threatened to have thunderstorms; there was hail in Calgary. But, Meaghann wasn't worried. She fasted for good weather and had perfect faith that the Lord would make it a good day. And He sure did! I feel so lucky to be married to this girl. She has so much faith. The temple experience was amazing! Meaghann told me when I got there that her veil flew out of the car. They didn't notice until they got to the temple that it was missing. It was a windy day but again, Meg's faith...undaunted. Meg's family saw it and brought it to the temple. Brother Pitcher was our sealer. Meg used to babysit his grandchildren so it was special to have him seal us. The blessing was wonderful and now we are happily married!!!! The photos went very well. Thank you Ryan Michelsen for being our photographer! There was one time during the shoot when Meg's veil flew off her head and landed perfectly on my head. I thought Meg put it on me. We had to laugh at that! The reception was wonderful!!!! Thank you so much for coming. Meg and I had a wonderful time talking to you. Meg and I changed into our Chinese outfits later to cut the cake. We had a Chinese groom and white bride. The bride was kind of pushing the groom over. That's not indicative of our relationship..lol...Meg tossed the bouquet...the first time, she just dropped it...the second time, Meagan caught it. The garter went to Aaron Nielsen. The Karaoke party was a hit! And so now we are married and more adventures to come!!!
