To be warned, I have no pictures for this post. Sorry, but I haven't been super into blogger mode.
Yesterday we went on our first flight together! Troy, me, Zak (his instructor) and Kim (Zak's wife) all loaded into the little plane in negative degree weather and flew down to Salt Lake for dinner.
It was so cool! It was Troy's first time flying to that large of an airport, where the tower talks to you from Ogden on. This was a big deal because it's hard to keep track of where exactly they tell you to fly, because there are planes everywhere! Plus it was his first time flying at night. He did an awesome job! I wasn't even scared. When we were taking off I was a little freaked out, and flying up over Sardine Canyon was a little scary, but I kept my eyes open and was even looking down at the lights the whole time! It was such a fun experience and I'm so glad we get to do things like that. It really was a total blast! We froze, but it was awesome!!
Then earlier this afternoon we had an appointment with our midwife. We did the regular blood stuff and all that jazz, but then we got to hear the babies heart beat! It was the first time we got to hear it, and it was so cool!! It was funny because she struggled to find it at first, then when she did I laughed and the baby jumped out of the way. So she spent another five minutes trying to find it again, and after about 20 seconds the baby jumped out of the way again (this time on its own). This continued about 3 more times. Our baby did not want to be found. It was really funny. She was struggling hard. One of the times she got it, and then we heard this weird louder noise and she told us that was a kick, and then the baby took off again. It didn't like being put on the spot, and it sure didn't like her prodding around it's space! It was so cool and it made us both so much more excited. Plus, it reassured me that I am not making this all up and there really is something inside of me. :]
Stay tuned, we are going to show off our Christmas decorations this weekend! :]

Sounds like you have been having fun. How fun to fly to SL for dinner. I'm glad you got to hear the baby. Just wait till you can see it on ultrasound.
What a day of days! I was thinking of you both all day yesterday. And there is nothing quite like hearing your baby's heartbeat for the first time!
When are you going to take me flying??
