SORRY THIS IS LIKE A MONTH LATE....BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!
FIRST DR'S APPOINTMENT WAS AT 12 WEEKS AND 6 DAYS, WELL WE COULDN'T HEAR THE HEART BEAT BECAUSE MY UTUERUS WAS SO EXTREMEMLY, EXTREMELY , EXTREMELY TIPPED.....IT WAS SO TIPPED WHEN HE WENT TO EXAMINE ME AND CHECK EVERYTHING OUT HE COULDN'T AND HAD TO CALL THE NURSE FOR SOME KIND OF SPECIAL TOOL.....LATER WHEN I ASKED ANDY WHAT THE TOOL WAS HE SAID "I DON'T KNOW IT LOOKED LIKE A BIG WRENCH!" OUCH!!!! HOLY COW, NO WONDER.....
SO DUE TO ME WINNING THE MOST TIPPED UTERUS AWARD , WE GOT TO SEE THE BABY'S HEART BEAT INSTEAD OF HEAR IT....IT WAS SO COOL AND YES I CRIED. I'VE NEVER HAD MY PREGNANCY'S FEEL SO REAL AT SUCH AN EARLY STAGE! USUALLY IT'S JUST THE FEEL YUCKY, TIRED, CRAPPY AND FAT RIGHT NOW WITH NO PROOF OF BABY BESIDES YOUR HIPS GROWING AND BOOBS HURTING. THIS MADE IT SO REAL AND GOT US SO EXITED! IT WAS SO NEAT TO SEE IT SO SOON!!!! WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!

AS OF RIGHT NOW I AM 16 WEEKS AND FEELING MORE PREGNANT THAN EVER! MAYBE ITS JUST ME WHICH ANDY SAYS IT IS...BUT I FEEL LIKE EVERYTHING HAS ENHANCED 10X'S WITH THIS ONE...!!!! I'M HOPING TO FEEL NORMAL AGAIN! YES YES I WILL!!!!

I DID FEEL IT MOVE!!!! THE OTHER NIGHT ON THE WAY HOME FROM DANCE IT WAS 3/13/13 AT 11:36PM I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I FELT MY SIDE BELLY TAKE A JAB AND THEN 4 MORE!!!!! THERE AGAIN WAS ANOTHER "THIS IS REAL" MOMENT, THERE REALLY IS A BABY IN THERE!!!! aH!!! I WANT TO REMEMBER THIS FOREVER...IT FEELS LIKE I'VE FORGOTTEN PREGNANCY AND MY LAST 2 EXPERIENCES, WHICH IS CRAZY TO THINK NOW HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN LIFES SITUATIONS SO DRAMATIC IT SEEMS. SO NOW EVERYTHING IN THIS ONE FEELS LIKE THE FIRST! IT'S AMAZING WHAT HEAVENLY FATHER DOES TO OUR MINDS, SO WE KEEP HAVING THESE SWEET SPIRITS!!!!
I AM GRATEFUL FOR THIS TIME IN LIFE!!!

Sister Marissa Martin

Its a bitter sweet moment to see my dancers grow up and move on with life!!!!

I feel like their mother at times because Im with them so much and we become so close!

My Marissa was on Kaos the very first year I started it and the first meeting we ever had I thought she was going to run for the door. Her eyes were so wide and her brain looked like it was sayin

" Holy cow this lady is crazy" lol!!! She was on Kaos for a full year and then moved up to Kalamity for the last half of last year!!! Not only as a dancer but as a person I saw her become and amazing individual!!! She carries the light of Christ with her every where she goes, there is no doubt in her mind that she would never make a bad choice! She is the most loving, giving, caring , sincere person you will ever meet!!! I am so excited for her to serve our Heavenly Father for 18 moths!!! She is going to do amazing things!!!

I love you Marissa!!

( She's getting set apart tonight :)

Sister Martin!
