The end of the week: I'm so looking forward to the weekend! It's so nice to know that G will be around, and even though he's got stuff tomorrow, I have plans with the sister... so I'm covered all the way around. It's so nice!
Thanksgiving point farm: we went to the petting zoo/farm tonight with the kid. It was sooo much fun. HE LOVED IT! He loved the animals, the kids, and the ice cream at the end too. It was a great family night that I want to do again soon!
Laughter: I'm trying to laugh more. I love to laugh and I've gotten so serious lately with all the things going on in life... so I'm thinking of things as funny... cause it's important to laugh.

Dr. Bean: I really like my drs. they are just great. I love the fact that they actually like what they do, and it shows in their practice. It's nice to go in and ask any question I want and have them be so open and honest about what to expect. I got to have my "new patient" appointment today... even though I'm not a new patient. I transferred to their office last time at 20 months so I didn't start my pregnancy with them. I got another ultrasound too! So fun! And since my mom got to come with me today she got to see the little peanut too. It was good times.
Hanging with the 'rents: I like to go over to my mom and dad's. Is that weird? I like to show up with the kid and have him play with my dad, or give my mom loves... I like to sit on their couch and feel like a kid for a few minutes. They fed me lunch today... it was so great.
No naps: no fun!

Little E: she is such a joy to have around. Today was so much fun to play with her and cuddle up. As the kids get bigger they have more fun together. I know that there will be more issues with "mine!" down the road, but right now they are just adorable!
Showers: I always look forward to G coming home on Wednesdays because if I'm lazy in the morning and dont get up early, I don't get to shower until he comes home. Just to much crazy happening at the house! So tonight it was luxurious to be able to get in the shower with the hot water and feel clean!
Songs: we've been singing to our Kindermusic CD... I can tell it's going to be fun to learn some of these songs... others... not so much.

Telling the in-laws: We went down to tell my cute mom and dad-in-law tonight our fun news. We wanted to make sure that this pregnancy was going to stick before telling them. The drs said that after you see the heartbeat the chances for miscarriage go down to 3%, so we're feeling pretty good about things. My dad-in-law got the shirt right away, it was cute. I think their excited for another baby to play with.
Kindermusic: today we had our first kindermusic class. It was so much fun and I'm so glad that L and Little E are going to the class with us. I'm amazed that it is such a workout! How funny is that! It's also fun to have the kids all love the music so much. I think this is going to be such a fun thing.
Naps: I took an "awake" nap today. I don't sleep, but I laid down and relaxed as the kid napped. Boy did I need that!

Pot Roast: I got up today and put a pot roast in. Oh... I'm so excited for dinner tonight!!! (Side note: as we ate dinner... seriously the best pot roast I've ever made!)
Cup Cakes: I got really domestic today and made chocolate cupcakes with chocolate ganache in them and yummy chocolate frosting. I know... What got into me today?!? But we will be eating well. Yummmm!
Bed time: I kinda wore myself out today... so bedtime is a happy thought.

Chairs: the kid has developed a huge love affair with climbing chairs. Today I had him in class with me and he was happy as a clam as long as he could climb up and hop off the folding chairs. Hilarious.
Fruit snacks: today one of the other teachers gave Bug fruit snacks during sharing time. It was so cute to see his little face light up. It was amazing to have that kindness shown towards my kid and to have him be so cutely happy about it.
Chaos: I live in a house of chaos, the painting had to be put on hold (hello... baby... 1st trimester... no painting here...) and then on top of it I'm sick... so I have less energy than a dead battery. Let's just put it nicely, my house is a bomb shelter.

Morning sickness: who knew you'd be so thankful for something so horrible???
Date night: my cute niece came over tonight so that G and I could go out on a date. It was really nice to get out of the house after being inside all day. I love the salad... could have eaten the whole bowl on my own.
Future: I'm loving the idea of the next few weeks being through the storm that is sickness. I know that the next few weeks are going to be awesome as I start to feel the baby move, and get that little bump going. I guess I'm just really excited about the future right now.

Ultrasounds: today we got to see a little heartbeat. I must say that I hold my breath each time I go into an ultrasound. I think once you have one really bad one, all the others you have, you hope and pray that you don't have to go through ugly again. But today, we saw little A#2. So far the baby is looking healthy and strong. To see the heartbeat at 8.5 weeks is a real treat to me. I'm excited, and sick... so all is well.
Looking for shirts: I have this idea of telling my in-laws with a shirt. It says, "Only Child" (with the only child crossed out and underneath only child written in kid like type, "Big Brother!" It's fun that we'll be able to tell them now. Until now we didn't even know how far along I was.
Surprises: I have to admit that this pregnancy was a big surprise. It came at a weird point in my cycle, so everything has been off. I'm really liking surprises right now.

15 month check up: so the kid is in the 88% for height, 80% for head circumference, and 62% for weight. So he's tall and skinny. :) Such a cute boy with such a fun personality. His one big think that cracks me up is how long it takes him to warm up to people (that he doesn't know or doesn't see very often). He's really not a people person like I am... he's a lot more like his dad! But he's such a good cuddler! I got so lucky with that. I love that he loves to give loves!
Haircuts: the kid looks like a little boy again. As it grows out it gets curly, and it's so cute... but let's face it... he's a boy and it's not nice to have such a pretty boy.
Halloween costumes: I got the kid his Halloween costume today. I'm so excited! He's going to be a little cowboy. So fun! Hooray for Halloween.

Stir crazy: I know I can't go out today... I'm still sick... but boy is this house an ugly place to be. :(
Internet: I spent a lot of time surfing the net today. It's my form of voyeurism today.
Netflix: AMAZINGLY AWESOME invention that I'm in love with. Now to get them to put all the movies on demand!

Sick: I'm sick, the kid's sick, we're all sick. Yay!
Laying on the floor with bear: we have a life sized stuffed teddy bear that the kid is absolutely in love with. I got to cuddle with bear today. It was actually kinda nice. The kid knew something was up so he actually was good and cuddled with me.
Climbing: the kid has become a little monkey. He can basically get up on all the furniture by himself and when he cant... boy do you hear about it! It's funny when he get's stuck. (Says the evil mommy.)

Hitting the ground running: there has been so many things I've had to push to the side as less important lately that today we hit the ground running. 4 stores and lots of things later... I'm tired!
Trail mix: I love nuts. I love dried fruit. Put them together and you have one of my all time favorite snacks!
Burp cloths: even at 15 months they still come in VERY handy from time to time.

Stake conference: Little man and I didn't go today because Little man is sick! But G went and took notes, and he even recorded it for me. I married a good man!
Laying on the floor: it can be hazardous to your health. I was laying down today and got body slammed by the kid. It was hilarious! Thank heavens he didn't break anything... he's a pretty good sized kid!
Dr. Suess: The kid has started bringing me books every morning to read to him. It is one of my favorite things. He will "read along" and point at all the pictures. I'm so excited he loves books. It makes my heart happy.

Birch's birthday: I think G said it best on her facebook page: "Birthday's are like boogers. The more you have of them, the harder it is to breath." Happy Birthday Birch!
Boogers: the kid's are starting to turn colors... not an exciting thought.
Big blue eyes: the kid looked up at me today and it was amazing. One of those, I love you mom looks... so cute, and heart melting!

Blood patch: Birch went in to get a blood patch because she was leaking spinal fluid and it was giving her migraines. After spending 24 hours lying flat she is finally starting to feel better! Who know what 20ccs of blood could do!
Birthday parties: last night we went to celebrate Little E's birthday. Wow did that year fly by! I sure do love that little cutie, she brings so much joy to the family.
Goldfish: I know if said this before, and recently too... but I think I have a new addiction... no bueno!

Memory loss: you know those moments when you can't remember something... and you're almost glad you can't?! I had one of those today. Hooray for getting older!
Lime green: it's one of those happy colors to me. When I see lime green I think of spring, and fresh, and joy. I sure do like lime green.
Baby magic: doesn't it smell like a little piece of heaven?

Gratitude: It's an amazing thing to be grateful. When you choose to be grateful for the things in your life it makes all the things that are hard a little easier. Life can be hard, but when you realize all the good that you have, it's a wonderful life.
Scriptures: Peace in a book.
Diapers: I was reminded again today why cloth diapers will never be an option. Thank you Huggies for making things disposable!

Driving Miss Daisy: this week I've been able to drive my sister to and from work. I take her in the morning, and then depending on how long she lasts, I go pick her up, feed her, and put her to bed. It's kinda funny to think that if the shoe were on the other foot that it would be done far more efficiently, but she's got me... and I'm not half as efficient as she is.
Chubby cheeks: I love it when the kid starts to run across the room... his cheeks jiggle cause there soooo big!
Dissh: I think it means "this" but the kid is saying it all the time when he brings me things. It cracks me up.

Fast Sunday: I love fast Sunday. It is the day we are able to fast and pray for those important things in our lives. It's the day we pour out our hearts in supplication to the Lord... Oh how grateful I am for faith in knowing that as I sacrifice for something I believe in, that the Lord will help me in my needs and in the needs of those I love.
Laying in bed with my sister: when we were little kids we would lay for hours talking about different things. She's always been my secret keeper, and I've always been her's. We would talk about boys, about life, about what we thought our futures would bring. Today I got to lay on the bed with my sister. It brought back those memories, and solidified the fact that no matter what, I will always love laying in bed next to her... still talking about everything and nothing.
Chocolate milk: such a wonderful thing. Two great products rolled into one!
