Most of you may have noticed, that I haven't posted in a while...
As a matter of fact I think this is the longest I've gone with out posting!
c.r.a.z.y.
I mean, I realized it had been a while when I had two journal entries more recent than my last blog post
THAT NEVER HAPPENS!!!
So here I am, sitting by a warm fire on a rainy day, realizing that I need to catch up on my blogging.
Last week we were blessed with some beautiful weather that really made us believe
that maybe there was hope for spring!
I even got out and took some pictures - Lets just say I have a lot to learn haha
but I am really enjoying it so far!
Of course it does help when your mother-in-law has the most beautiful tulips in the world!
Sadly, most of the pedals were pulled off just a few days later by a naughty little grandson...
I absolutely love this picture! It made me realize that hey, I could really be good at this!
eeek! I'm so excited to learn more :)
Lets see.... Most of my days are spent lounging around the house, or going over to my parents house where there's usually a few more distractions. I really need an activity or something hahah
Unfortunately my job is really slow starting out, so my next day for work isn't until the 28th of May!
I keep thinking there's got to be somewhere I can volunteer that wouldn't be to strenuous on my crazy/unpredictable body, and I would love to start sewing bedding and decorations for the baby's room
-- if only we knew if it were a boy or a girl!
I will confess, however, that I think it's going to be a girl.... gah I can't believe I did that on the internet!
I'm probably wrong, idk... and I can't decide if I think that because I secretly want it to be a girl or I really think that - gah! lol I know I'll love either one, I just want to know -- now!
Only a month and a half til we find out - its hard to believe how fast its going!
Can I just say that being pregnant is hard - like half the things I do I wouldn't normally do!
Example: Last night I fell asleep on our bed upstairs, still in my church clothes, and I started crying when Jer gently tried to take them off just so I'd be more comfortable!
pathetic....
I can fall asleep so fast these days, and oh the list goes on and on haha
But I am officially out of the first trimester
{Didn't throw up once - haha!}
But the past 3-4 days I've been so tired - half the time I can barely make it up the stairs to our room, but then this morning I found myself running up them 2 at a time - what the heck!
I give up on trying to understand my body....
We did have another ultrasound last week - sorry I don't know how to scan them {pictures} on at my in-laws house :/
But let me just tell you -- it is so amazing to look at a computer and see a little person inside of you - that has a heart beat! Its the most humbling and wondrous thing I've ever experienced
and I can't even feel the baby yet!
That is one thing I really just can't wait for :)
Feeling the baby kick and move inside of me - eeeeek I can't wait!
{Please ignore the un-showered, pajama adorned body - but yes, there is a baby bump!}
Gah I feel so fat all the time - but I guess that's to be expected!
All of a sudden none of my clothes fit and maternity clothes are HUGE on me - its kind of a lame situation...
Oh well... Soon enough I'll be able to own those huge maternity tops and pants haha
Wow sorry this is getting to be a super long post, but I guess I'll just press on - don't feel pressured to keep going, but you can if you want!
On Saturday, Christian went to his first prom
{He's only a senior, but he asked some random girl who goes to another school, so they went.... ha}
{And no she's not LDS - but a cute girl, right!}
The sun was blazing and the wind was blowing and it was like the most un-ideal place for pictures, but hey whatever works, right. I took a bunch more pictures but this is the only other one worth showing - my mom's excellent saving the day helping pin on the man-flowers
{I can't spell boutineer}
I had my sisters pose in our back yard to get some practice taking pictures of people - they are such hoots!
Hannah was a little more interested in reading Harry Potter- for like the 10 billionth time - so she left us
lame sauce....
Emma has the cutest little giggle in the world, and when I look at this picture I can literally hear her :)
Silly girls
Little Miss Diva
those girls....
How I love them :)
Those aren't even half of the silly pictures I took of my beautiful, silly sisters haha
Well I was going to post about a game we played with my family last night, but I think I'll start a new post
because this one is getting pretty dang beastly
