Bed Rest

No, I'm not on bed rest. But how do people do it??!! Seriously, I've been lying around for a few hours because I'm having some really bad hip pain and I'm soooooo bored! We're going to go to a few fun places over the next few days--places that involve walking--so I thought I'd rest up. Ugh, it's boring.

Shelf Status

I just realized that my belly has reached shelf status. I'm eating a piece of licorice and then I set it down on my belly. I'm not big enough yet to use my belly as a table for my dinner plate, but that day will come...couple more months. It's all about seeing the postive side of things. I've got a built-in shelf. :)

Halfway there! 20 Weeks

Today is my halfway mark! Yay! You know, I like being pregnant, but I also like that it's halfway over. My back is hurting a lot these days, but it's probably being made worse with this cold. My body is really achy today. So as I'm thinking of this being my halfway point, I'm suddenly glad I'm not an elephant--they're pregnant for about two years! Yikes...can you imagine?!



So I've been looking at baby bedding for the last few days. I've spent so much time shopping for girly stuff these past 5+ years--it's really fun to look at the the cute little boy things. I'm going to go with a car theme because Jason loves cars. I think he'll (Jason) will like that.

Sick

Yup, I'm sick. I have a cold. Blahhh! My kids have had little colds the last few days, so this was to be expected. So far it's not a bad one, but it's making me dizzy and so tired.

Pregnancy Glasses

I have a pair of glasses that I only have to wear while I'm pregnant. They're my pregnancy glasses. And since I don't wear them all the time, they really annoy me! I've had to wear them a day or two, here or there, during this pregnancy, when I just happen to be having blurry eyes, but then a few days ago, it hit me. I can't see anymore. Okay, I can, but everything is blurry....especially the computer screen and books. So now I'm stuck wearing these till probably about 6 to 8 weeks after I deliver the baby.

Farmer's Market

I crave fresh fruit! Like, I NEED it! So almost every Saturday morning the girl's and I go to the Brentwood Farmer's Market. I buy strawberries, raspberries, and mandarine oranges. Oooo, yummy! And Sammy has a honey stick everytime.

I Love To See The Temple...

I took the girls to the Temple today. They loved walking around the grounds and going through the Visitor's Center.

Daddy & the Girls

We found out today that we're having a boy and Jason is so excited, but boy does he sure love his girls!!

Ultrasound.....It's a Boy!

Here is a picture Jason took during the ultrasound. My belly seems to be getting a bit bigger with each baby...dang it!

18 Weeks

I'm 18 Weeks today. Almost half way there. I get to find out in just a few days if it's a boy or a girl. So excited! But in the meantime, I'm still really tired all the time. I thought the fatigue would have passed by now, but I'm really tired everyday. Let's see....what else is going on....I'm having back pains here and there, and braxton hicks contractions everyday. They don't hurt, but they're uncomfortable. My nails are still growing abnormally fast. If I take a shower that too hot, I'll still black out. And my nights have been hijacked by dreams--mostly bad dreams. But I know that's pretty common around this stage of pregnancy. Oh yeah, and I'm too big for my normal clothes and too small for my maternity clothes. It's so frustrating!
