Blessed.

After back pain shook me from a dead sleep at 4am on Sunday and I finally couldn't handle it and broke down in tears... my sweet husband (who had to be up at 6 for work) got up, gave me a massage, found me a heating pad, and gave me a blessing of comfort and healing, then helped me lie back down and get comfortable. We were both finally able to go back to sleep around 5:30.

I am so glad I married a man worthy of his priesthood and so willing to help whenever needed. I honestly don't know what I would've done without him.
I am so thankful for the hand of my Heavenly Father in my life. He will never forsake you. I promise.

I am so blessed.

And The Winner Is...

It's a girl!

And we couldn't be more excited!

Names that we are debating...

   * Savannah Renae Tuputeata Matagi

   * Rachel Victoria Asiannah Matagi

   * Aislynn Marie Matagi

And just in case we are still surprised with a bouncing baby boy, we are prepared with...

   * Aiden Tiave Matagi

   * Trysten Viali Matagi

I imagine we'll probably think up more over the next little while, but so far, these are our favorites.

And, because we kept our ultrasound to just us... here are some pics for all of you to see...

We're looking at her sideways in this picture, right at her face. The little spot on the top left is and elbow, and to the right of it is her hand. Her hand is right next to her ear, so the little black spot below the hand is an eye socket, and her othe hand is covering her other eye. Yes, her mouth is open. We caught her mid-yawn. Too Cute.



Close up of her little foot.



This is a view of her bum and legs from behind. The two lines the arrow is pointing at are girl parts... just in case someone is doubting she's really a girl.

We are scheduled for our next appointment on July 16th and we get to have another ultrasound then, so more pictures of our precious princess to come!

Baby Bets

6 days until the big ultrasound. Tiave says "I feel like its gonna be a little girl to smite me with the home grown love that my wife has poured in to her little heart... but hey, thats just me :)" I think it'll be a boy to smother me with love and slobbery kisses, just like his daddy.

We've had lots of input on facebook...
