Here are the 3D ultrasound pictures!!! It was so much fun... My parents were able to come and Ry made it :) My dad left in tears, pretty sure we all did :) It was such an amazing experience... I was so happy to have my parents and husband by my side!!! While we were doing the ultrasound Logan was being so good, he gave us plenty of wiener shots and lots of facial shots :) We got to see him swallow, yawn and then he got the hiccups!!! It was so fun to see.... Everything looks perfect!!! He is 1 lb 1 oz and all his organs are developing fantastically :) I can't wait to meet him!!! My heart is so full with gratitude, love, and appreciation for all we have, it is such an amazing experience to go through, I am so blessed to be able to share it with my parents and everyone around me!!! (If you notice in the first picture... He is definitely a boy :)





22 Weeks ALREADY!!! Time is flying... Here is the finished cradle... it turned out awesome... I am so excited :) It is ready and waiting for little Logan :)

21 WEEKS!!!! Only 19 more to go :) I was able to go have breakfast with a great, wonderful friend that I went through nursing school with, she is only two weeks ahead of me, and the same size!!! She is tiny :) Here is us showing off our bellies :) The server at the restaurant was peeking at us and says "Do you both have baby bumps??" We sure do!!!
So Ry was able to feel little Logan move the other night, I was not expecting that, I thought that maybe around the 30 week mark he could feel him, but he felt him, and what an amazing experience, Ry thought it was cool, but a little weird :0 I just told him it confirmed that we are aliens :)
Little Logan is growing and making me grow so fast, I love the feeling of movement inside my belly, and know I will soon miss it... Hoping this won't be our last, I cherish every moment and every day thinking we may only have one child... but have been so blessed to be able to have this little one!!! I love him so much!!! We have our 3D ultrasound next week and can NOT WAIT!!! I hope he has dimples, just like his Daddy :)
So the progress of little Logan... He is 3/4 of a pound (but has added 8 lbs to mom), and is 10 1/2 inches long, about the size of a carrot... I feel him move like crazy, now more and more during the day, he still loves to move at night whenever possible... I can't even explain the excitement that I have for this little one!!! We are so overjoyed and can't believe this is happening!!! Saydie is a little momma's girl, if I'm home she is not far from my side, she sticks by me, not taking her eyes off me, she knows something is brewing in my belly... every time I sit, she comes and lays on my lap, not bad for a 56 lb lab... the little turkey, but I love it!!!

20 WEEKS!!! Half way to meeting little Logan :) I turned 20 weeks on Monday and had a project to do... sanding and staining my cradle... As you can see Saydie helped :) It took us three hours in the freezing cold but we finished it!!! Yea :) I was so excited, one project down, 100 more to go :( The cradle has a history... a 28 year history... This cradle was made by my Uncle Keith when I was in my mom's belly... 28 years ago :) This was the cradle I had when I was young, how my parents kept it for 28 years who knows... My rents gave me the cradle five years ago when we started trying to have a family, I soon gave it back when having a family wasn't working out... I got it back from their basement when I found out we were pregnant!!! I have been waiting five years to get it back and put a fresh coat of stain on it, and get it ready for our little one... Thank you Mom and Dad for keeping it around for so long, I can't wait to take pictures of Logan in it :)

This is the Christmas tree!!! Ry did an awesome job, Again :) It didn't look that big when he was cutting it down, but it's huge!!!! It touches our ceiling, which is pretty tall :)

Our annual Christmas tree hunt!!! Every year, the day after thanksgiving, we go with Ry's family and my parents to go cut down our own Christmas tree.... I have been doing this my whole life with my family, so to marry into the same tradition was AWESOME!!! It is one thing I look forward to every year!!! Ry's family always searches for the blue spruce trees, and Ry LOVES the trees that nobody wants, then my dad always gets the charlie brown trees, don't know if he means too, but he does :) This year we got kind of a normal tree, but no not really :) We have such a good time, love this tradition!!!

Ok... so we are at 18 weeks and 2 days :) So thrilled... Got another ultrasound today, Dr says he looks GREAT!!! Little Logan is measuring at 19 weeks and 2 days so the Dr said we can deliver anytime between April 16th and the 25th... So we'll see when he decides to show up :) Hopefully he waits till we get back from Moab (wink.. wink...).

I am still feeling great... things are going awesome... Love the amazingness of being pregnant, I feel so blessed to have this little guy in my belly... I am so thankful for all we went through to get to this point... My thoughts and prayers are ALWAYS with those who struggle to have this experience... Know that there is hope!!! Miracles do happen!!! Love you Logan, what a true blessing you are and will be for Eternity!! You are so loved by MANY :)

So it's 99.9% official that it's a BOY!!!! Yeah :) We are so excited!!! We love this little guy so much and think that we are so ready for him.. We just want him here!!!
I am 17 weeks along and feeling GREAT!!! Pregnancy really has been easy for me... I love it!!!! I love to see this little guy... I wish I could keep an ultrasound plugged into me all day... he is so fun to see and moves ALL the time!!! I don't think he ever sleeps :)

So at 16 weeks this little guy is about the size of an avocado... He should start doubling in size and hopefully I will too :) I have felt the "bubble popping" sensation lately, mostly at night, think this little one knows I work at night, so thats when he is waking... I also have felt, it seems, like my whole uterus will move!!! It's crazy weird, I can feel my lower abdomen move and harden and switch from side to side, so weird!!! But I love it!!! and Ry thinks it's weird he can feel my uterus moving all over, but I think he's a little freaked out by it :) HE is a little mover!!!!

We made it to 16 Weeks!!!! yeah :) I hope this little guy knows how much we love him and adore him...He gave us a scare the other night that landed me on bedrest for a couple of days and now I'm on limited activity... He sure did scare us... We want this little guy here safe and sound and healthy. "Love is like the wind, it can't be seen but it can be felt"... I hope this little guy knows and can feel the love that we have for him... I will give anything and everything to get him here safe... I can't wait to meet you :)
Happy belated Halloween!!!! Saydie dressed up as a clown, she was such a good dog... she sure does love her mama :) She does anything for me!!!



Ok so these are some undated pictures of my "belly" I know sweet huh??? Can you see anything??? Most can't but I can definately fill it growing :) Pregnancy has been GREAT so far... The sickness left around the 12th week and I have felt great since... Minus the bladder infection and head cold :) but at 14 weeks we were able to do a ultrasound where the dr saw WEINER!!!! Yea!!! So he said he's not 100% but pretty sure it's a boy... We are so excited.. We would take whatever at this point, but are so happy with a little boy :)
14 weeks :)

In October we went on our annual Moab trip with the Graham family... We always have such a great time. We are part of the most wonderful families, we couldn't ask for better!!! While in Moab Ry celebrated his 30th birthday, old man :) It was such beautiful weather, and I finally went golfing with Ry and had a blast!!!! We also did what they call Indian Ladder, Ry try to make it to the top but couldn't :) We did a trail, Seven Mile Rim, it was such a fun trail, we of course, like always, LOVE our trips to Moab!!! Can't believe that on our next trip I'll be 9 months pregnant!!! I hope I make it :)

So I'm a little behind.. but at the end of September the black powder hunt opened and it's a tradition for all the MCQuiveys to go down and enjoy!!! We all go to Joe's valley which is outside of Orangeville Utah. My dad drew out for big bull elk, he was so excited, and then HE GOT ONE!!! We were all so excited and he was saved from the wrath of my mom, because she didn't know he drew out for big bull until the trip down to the hunt...Opsies... guess dad forgot to tell her :) Well we had a blast like always, the weather was perfect and the company was amazing... We missed grandma Mc, but knew she was watching out for us because for the first time in 10years my dad brought home an elk, my uncle Kirk got an elk and my cousin got a deer, we have never been so blessed!!! We love you and miss you Grandma, and thanks for watching out for your boys :)
