Girl Passed Out At Gym!!!

I have pictures of Nick doing a motorbike race last weekend but can't download them because my computer has smoke coming out of it! So, I have been using Nick's computer instead but it doesn't have a place for me to put my camera card in.
Anyways, here's an interesting story that happened today...I worked at World Gym this morning and then stayed for a while doing some cardio. While reading a magazine on the elliptical I looked up when this lady yelled, "Do you need help? Do you need help with her?" I looked over to the strength training area to witness one of our personal trainers straining to catch a girl as she was falling from one of the weight benches onto the floor. I started running over and saw her legs twitching and yelled for someone to call 911. There was a puddle of orange gatorade on the floor on one side of the weight bench and the girl was on the other side lying on the floor, seeming pretty coherent by the time I arrived. Her lips were blue, her skin pale, and her pulse felt weak, but I asked her if she was okay and she replied yes. I asked the personal trainer if she had low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and he said yes. I then asked her the same question to see how aware/responsive she was and she said yes also. She was responding clearly to other questions so she seemed to be alert/aware of the situation. I grabbed her juice and gave it to the personal trainer and told him he needed to start having her drink some to raise her blood sugar levels. Apparently she had not eaten breakfast or anything for a long time so her blood sugar had most likely been low before she even came to work out. After grabbing the juice to give to the girl, the other lady who had arrived before me butted in and told her her name, "...certified in first aid/cpr...blah,blah,blah" asking her questions like medical history and stuff like that, but I felt like she was wasting time because it was apparent what had happened and that the girl needed to drink some juice right away to raise her blood sugar...not lay there shaky and pale while the lady tried to be a hero by asking questions. I just didn't feel like she was putting the girl first...More like trying to get recognition by going through all the preliminary first aid steps with the girl instead of actually recognizing what needed to happen to help the girl. Don't get me wrong, I am all up for following the cpr/first aid procedures but this situation had a simple solution and I didn't understand what the lady was thinking. So finally the trainer was able to cut in and we had the girl sit up and had her sip on juice until the paramedics arrived. Anyways, that's my crazy story for today. I was ready to give CPR if it had been needed but luckily it didn't come to that.
You know what though? I've always been nervous about emergency situations and wondered how I would react and what I would do. In first aid class at BYU-Idaho we talked about deciding to act before even coming upon an accident so we would have already made the decision to act/help when coming upon a risky situation. This is especially important when it comes to saving a life. Sister Parkinson would question us, "Are you willing to give CPR if you don't have a CPR mask and the victim has blood coming out of his/her mouth? Are you willing to help the victim if they are covered in body fluids and might be HIV positive?" Given this "girl passing out at the gym" situation wasn't near that serious, it has still made me think about that. And yes, I believe I would do anything I could to save a life. I imagine when you are in a serious situation your connection with the person needing help becomes very deep and personal. You would do anything you could to save that person's life. Stuff to ponder I guess. Moral #1 of the story: Eat before you workout! ESPECIALLY if you are hypoglycemic to start out with!!! Moral #2: Decide to help before you are even faced with an emergency situation! You never know when someone might need your help! By choosing to help without hesitation, you can save lives!

Las Vegas

Nick and I are going to go to Vegas in May...I wanted to go before I get honkin' huge for the rest of the year! Any of you guys gone? We are planning on going to the Ultimate Variety Show which is supposed to be very popular and "family-friendly" (you never know in Vegas) and we are going to go see the Bellagio fountain show. Other than that, any suggestions or tips for our travels? Thanks guys!

WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!

We actually found out we were pregnant on Valentine's Day. We were heading to McCammon, Idaho for a sledding trip with Nick's family when we decided to pick up a pregnancy test and find out. My body felt different and I suspected I was pregnant. I knew that I would be going crazy all weekend not knowing whether or not I was pregnant or not! So we picked up a pregnancy test along the way and ended up finding out that I was pregnant at the McCammon Flying J truck stop! So W.T. I know! We didn't want to take the test at the McCammon house in fear that one of his family members might discover the test in the garbage so we went with the truck stop!

I was feeling pretty crappy up until about 2 weeks ago. I was having a hard time getting any food in and was struggling with my water intake...I never threw up but felt very nauseous. At one point the doctor even pumped me with 2 bags of IV fluid! I had drank a whole nalgene bottle of water before that visit but she still said I was way dehydrated! All in all, I am doing so much better now!

The ultrasound we had yesterday was so amazing! Our baby is 11 weeks along, 2 inches long, and we could see all the little fingers and limbs! We are so excited and blessed! Our baby looks healthy and appears to be developing normally! And the heartbeat! It was spectacular to see that little heart pumping so fast! We have a picture of the ultrasound...I'll see if I can find a way to post it on our blog! We'll keep everyone updated! Love you all!

SLEDDING TRIP AT THE DUNES W/ NICK AND SKYLER

Hawaii Pictures

Self explanatory.

A banana tree.
The family out to dinner.

My henna tattoo...It was fading a lot because I was always in the water.

View of part of the island from a hike we went on.

Nick and Skyler enjoyed the Honolulu Screamer.

They are on the boat in this picture getting ready to depart. The boat was basically just really fast! They had fun!

Here is a picture taken of a marlin that was caught by a tourist who paid to go deep sea fishing. The marlin weighed 450 lbs!

Here's the fish Nick and his Dad caught after they paid to go deep sea fishing...Quite the size difference there!

Nick and I New Year's Eve at Waikiki beach.

Oil in the water that is still leaking from the sunken U.S.S. Arizona at Pearl Harbor.

Names of all of the Pearl Harbor casualties.

Here is what's left of the U.S.S. Arizona smoke stack visible above the water.
Nick and I surfing the crap out of a wave!

Pearl Harbor survivor. He was the cutest and nicest guy!

This is where the U.S.S. Arizona memorial is. We took a ferry out to it where we read all the names of the people who died during the Pearl Harbor attack. We also took pictures of the parts of the ship that are above water. (To the right of the building.)

A ship anchor...It was huge!

Nick and I shooting down planes.

We took a tour of the U.S.S. Missouri where the World War II peace treaty was signed between us and Japan, thus ending the war. This plaque marks the spot on the ship where the treaty was signed.

Cool picture of a rainbow crossing over the port.

U.S.S. Missouri

Picture we took of a ship through a stethoscope.

Waterfall we hiked to on our hike.

Nick and I under a really cool tree on our hike. Crazy isn't it?

There were a lot of roots and branche tangled like this.

Waterfall we hiked to.

More scenery on our hike. I love this picture of all the trees covered with ivy and plants!

Pretty little stream.

Flower.

Part of the Terry clan.

Tree canopy.

Kailua beach where we stayed was very busy all of the time with wind surfers, kite surfers, and kayakers.

Nick at Turtle Bay next to his man friend.

This turtle was sleeping on the beach! The natives call him Brutus. It is a federal crime to touch a turtle in Hawaii so they had a red rope circling the turtle so no one would disturb him.

Nick and his brothers running from the waves.

Nick swears this parrot wanted to eat him.

Pretty picture of the beach.

The girls were cold so I buried their legs to keep them warm.

This was the finale show at the PCC that lasted a few hours. It was absolutely incredible!!!

Pina coladas were a favorite of ours!

Look closely and you will see the two men carrying the roasted pig across the stage! That was the pork we feasted on! It was so good! They cook the pig in a pit in the ground and cover it with leaves and brush!

This was the Luau we attended at the PCC. Performers danced several different hawaiian dances for the audience while we feasted on roasted kalua pork!

Me licking a giant icecream cone at the PCC. It was quite tasty.

Don't ever ask your husband to give you a "natural" pose for the camera...he'll almost always do the opposite!

Nick and I (with Justin in the back) at the PCC Luau.

Drummers representing Tonga at the PCC.

The Island of Samoa. They sang and danced for us. We also watched them start a fire by rubbing sticks together!

Christmas in Waikiki!

Every afternoon all of the villages do a parade down the canal for all of the PCC visitors. The show is set to music and each tribe dances and performs for everyone to see!

Tahiti. Those girls could really shake their hips!

Samoan guy showed us how Samoans break and husk a coconut. We were also shown how coconut milk is made. (We were warned not to drink too much or we would get the runs!)

Everyone's Christmas stockings

Nick and I were excited to open up our dartboard from Skyler and Becky!

Nick and I in Waikiki in front of a huge decorated Christmas tree.

Our Hawaii Christmas Tree.

Yes, we did a puzzle in Hawaii. What were we thinking?

Here's a picture of the front room of our beach house. Out back we had a lawn and beyond that was the beach. It was perfect because we had a trail to the beach from the backyard and could go whenever!

Here's some of the group gathered for our Christmas breakfast.

Stan and Justin supersoaking everyone in the hot tub. (That's why I grabbed the camera so I wouldn't get sprayed!)

The house was in the shape of a U. This is the courtyard area with the pool and hot tub. Nick and I stayed in the bedroom behind the pool with the chairs by the door.

Joyce, Mailee, and Rhonda enjoying the beach!

We all crowded in the hot tub on most nights! Nick jumped in the pool with the innertube around his waist and floaties on his arms...After everyone had a good laugh he settled into the hot tub with us. He is such a clown! :)

Nick and niece Monica going boogy boarding. It was so much fun!

Nick and Joyce. Most of the beach pictures were taken at the beach we were staying at. Kailua Beach? Can't remember the name.
