8 Week Ultrasound!


Jared and I went to the clinic yesterday for an ultrasound! The baby's heartbeat was 158 beats per minute and the midwife said that everything looked perfect!! Jared was so excited to finally see the baby and hear the heartbeat!

Baby Wilmarth!!

Jared and I are expecting our first baby!! Our little monkey is due in April 2010, and we couldn't be more excited!! I have been EXTREMELY sick with all-day morning sickness and had to take myself to the Balboa Naval Hospital on Tuesday morning because of nausea/vomiting and dehydration. They fixed me right up and even did an ultrasound. Our baby is so tiny that you can't really see anything, but I did see a little beating heart!! It was one of the most amazing things that I have ever seen!! We'll keep you all posted on pregnancy developments :-)

2 Years In Heaven!!

Rest In Peace Parker Bockhop (January 2001-July 2007)




It's been 2 years since sweet Parker got his angel wings and flew to heaven. I miss him so very much! I am thankful that he is leukemia free, and resting safely in the arms of Jesus. I think of this little man everyday as I walk the halls of the hospital. I will always remember his courage, cheery disposition, adorable smile, and awesome hugs.

I Love You Parker! You ARE my hero!

I Miss You, Ma!!

A Picture Of My Beautiful Mama


Ma,

It's been less than 3 months since you left so suddenly. Most of the time I am still struggling to get through. So far, time alone has not lessened my grief. I am getting married in 7 days, and I am so heartbroken that you won't be there. It won't be the same without you. I know how much you were looking forward to celebrating with Jared and I. I am praying that the pain of your loss subsides enough to let me enjoy my wedding day. I know that you would want me to be happy the day that I marry the sweet dimple-faced boy that you loved so very much. I promise to do my best.

Love always,
Missy

To My Angel Mommy......

Mom,

It's been less than 2 months since you left me so suddenly. I find myself struggling day to day to hold back tears as I am forced to go on with my life. Wedding planning has not been fun. It's hard to plan such a big event when you are in the middle of grieving. At times, I wish that we could push everything back. I'm just not into it, and I don't know what to do. Some people just don't understand. Work helps, it helps A LOT. I used to call you as I drove home from work, and that's something that I already miss dearly. At times I feel as though maybe this is all in my head. Could my Mom really be gone? How could this happen right before my wedding? I'm so sad that you won't be there to watch me marry Jared, especially since I know how much you loved him. It breaks my heart that you will never meet your grandchildren. It seems unreal to me that I will never hear your voice again or be able to give you a hug. I feel horrible that you were so sad and alone. I wish there was something that I could have done, but we both know that I did all that I could, and unfortunately it wasn't enough. I feel guilty at times. What if I would have called you more? What if I had just moved home to be with you? Could I really have saved you? Probably not. I prayed and prayed for God to give you the strength to overcome your struggles, but I guess he had a different plan. I'm thankful that you are with Him, and that you are no longer hurting.......but now I am hurting. I wish I could have been able to say goodbye. I just hope that you know how much I love you, and that I will miss you every day for the rest of my life.

Love always,
Sis

P.S. Please watch over Parker.
