Happy Mother's Day week to all the mothers out there. I'll soon be joining the club.
I've had more and more people ask about the pregnancy so I think I'll address it today.
My body loves being pregnant. It's corrected a lot of issues that I've dealt with over the years. I've heard over and over that I was lucky not to have morning sickness. I think of it this way... I think God knew I needed some time off from throwing up and feeling horrible. I haven't had to deal with any of that since being pregnant, and I'm certainly hoping it doesn't come back after I give birth! Of course I was tired during the 1st trimester, and during the 2nd trimester I felt like I could run a marathon, I've never felt better. I'm just into my 3rd a few weeks and still feel pretty good. I think I'll sum it up like this...
Things I love about being pregnant...
Finally- having a big belly is beautiful.
I feel better than I have over the last few years.
I always have the excuse, "I can't lift that I'm pregnant"
Taking an afternoon nap is ok.
Things I don't love so much about being pregnant...
Get out of my way I gotta pee!
Do I look like Buddha to you? Quit rubbing my belly!
Questions and advice are ok to a point, and then not so much.
Do you smell that?
Chris and I are so excited for our baby girl. We have been told countless times that it would be nearly impossible to get pregnant, so every day I learn to enjoy something new about being pregnant and am enjoying my time.
I have to give Congratulations to Monica and Sonny! Beginning a new foundation for disabled children with Mona Vie. Over 100+ documented cases from physicians and families that this juice has reduced medical bills by helping these children with issues ranging from respiratory to neurological recovery and will now be covered by medicaid in the state of Florida!!! I admire Monica's constant fight for her son from the day he was born. She knew he deserved a better life, and that no one including our legislation would tell her that he was not worth keeping. His life matters! It has made a difference in so many people's lives. Including mine- I truly believe I would never have been able to experience my pregnancy miracle if they hadn't reached out to me. Congratulations and good luck!
Happy Birthday to me today! 28 years- seems like time flies by and yet stands still. Chris is gone to an EMS conference today in Florida. Yeah- gotta hate the paid trip to a condo at the beach. Too bad I couldn't go with him. I had to take Saint to the Vet today and deplete our savings account for absolutely no information. I almost just asked how much pink juice cost, but I just love the stinker too much.
We had a new couple from the ward over for dinner last night. They moved in just around the corner from us, so now they think we are their new best friends. Which is fine- but have you ever heard the expression too much too fast?! They are a sweet couple and am glad to have had a reason to have visitors.
My birthday plans for today? I'm being taken to lunch by some of the girls/ladies? in our ward that live here in town. Most of them are close to my age so we have alot in common, and they have been great in giving me help to get ready for baby. I also have some shopping planned for today. I'm not buying for baby today, just me. Other than that, I think I'll be at home eating some leftover birthday cake.

Hi Everyone!
I have decided it's time to fast forward with technology and start our own blog. I can't promise it will always be up to date, but we thought it would be helpful in keeping everyone informed about us especially with our baby girl on the way.
My 10 year high school reunion is this August, of course I won't be able to attend I'll have something a little more important to take care of. It's hard to believe it has been 10 years since high school. I've accomplished a lot I suppose, got through 4 1/2 years of college, got married, moved across the country from everyone and everything I have ever known, worked for a few years at a job I loved until recently, and now am expecting a baby. Life moves on and for feeling so slow at the time, incredibly fast.
Chris is busy working 2 jobs, while I am at home now, taking care of the dog and I suppose preparing for baby girl. Some days are harder than others and I never thought I would ever leave my career, especially this soon.
Our new ward in Decatur has been great, and for the first time since we've been married I think Chris is finally looking forward to participating in church and me too! The people here have been so welcoming to us and are the opposite of the hypocritcal, judgmental members of our old ward. (Most went to BYU if that explains any of it) If only those engineers and rocket scientists knew what Chris sees on a daily basis with his job maybe they would be a little more open minded. Chris was being eaten up by a case he was working on recently and finally broke down and told me about it, I was literally sick to my stomach and can't seem to get it out of my mind, and I didn't have to see the details! Of course we can't tell anyone the details of this case until this person is thrown in jail!!!
Anyway, we are getting closer to the due date (Aug 2) and I am more frightened by the day. As for her name we will keep that a surprise until her birthday. Why? Because frankly it's a decision for Chris and me. Not the rest of the world and I'm sick of everyone's opinion and comments. We have been very open about the rest of the pregnancy and this we would like to keep to ourselves.
