Octuplet Birthing Video

Not that I want to make light of the situation cause the whole thing bothers me, (who in their right mind would think they can handle all those kids, especially alone?... exactly, nobody in their RIGHT MIND) but I think this video IS pretty funny!

I know you've been on pins and needles...

These are fresh, we took them this morning, so here is your 19 week baby bump...
If I had photoshop here on my work computer, I would draw an arrow pointing to my left hip and write "This is where it hurts"

Things to love

Things to love:

• fruit time at Costco (I REALLY stock up, last year I lost just under 10 lbs in about 3 weeks cause I lived off of fruit, I LOVE good fruit, prob cause I love candy.)
• flower pots outside my bedroom window
• perfect March and April weather
• george foreman grill
• tylenol
• THE WEEKEND
• thinking about Moab

Why I love Trent: I can't seem to pinpoint one good example this week, but he IS the best. That's it. I think it must be because there are so many reasons I can't name just one.

Hmm

I could barely get my jeans over my butt this morning... not cool.

Counting Down...

Tomorrow marks 150 days to go... it seems like that is so soon now! That is only a few months away.

I am hoping it will be less than that... so if you are listening baby: please be healthy and strong and ready to go just a little early, I am thinking the second half of July if you are feeling up to it... but I will take what I can get! please don't feel pressure to come if your lungs aren't up to it yet!

In case you were wondering... I have been able to feel movement since the night before I turned 14 weeks. The movement is more common now and when I eat something sugary I feel more twists and turns!

I still get sick a couple times a week but for the most part I am feeling much better.

I took a picture of the belly cause it was regular 2 weeks ago but now it is definetly there! It just popped right out! I would post it but I can't find our camera dock that loads our pics onto the computer...eventually. I am feeling very fat, but then again, I have gained 12 lbs! Holy crap! Which apparently is average for right now, but still!

Also, I am so hungry! and my hips already hurt!

2 years

2 years ago today

We knelt across the altar

in the Salt Lake Temple

and married for eternity

I love you even more.

Check out this video... it makes me feel warm inside, I am so proud of who I am.

DWTS

I have decided to watch "Dancing with the Stars" this season, because watching tv online really helps to pass the time at work, plus I think I might like it. One of the "stars" on the show this season is none other than the Olympic gold medalist, cute little Shawn Johnson (and she was def one of the best on the season premier)...
now, is it just me, or....
Do you see any resemblance?

Things to Love

Why I love Trent: He offers to give me a blessing anytime he things I may need it, whether something is bothering me or I am not feeling well.

Things:

• TJ Maxx
• Priesthood blessings
• Jamba Juice now has delicious oatmeal
• getting 10 hours of sleep
• baby movement
• ultrasound pictures
• smoothies
• vacations

I'd rather have laugh wrinkles than worry warts...

As time goes on, I think more and more about the fact that this baby is relying on me to help her develope correctly. Mostly, it is the food I eat. If I eat some candy, (I probably ate a little more than I should have) I just sit and worry that it was totally unhealthy for her. If I have a sip of Trent's coke (really just a sip), I worry. What if, not only is she not getting the nutrients she needs, but I am also giving her this crap that is gonna make her come out with brain damage? If there is anything wrong with her, it will be my fault! Is this something all pregnant women think about? Please tell me you did/do!

I really need to update you guys too! We went to Brianhead last weekend for snowmobiling (and I road a little... maybe I shouldn't have! see what I mean?) and we had some friends in town this weekend... so eventually I will get that stuff posted!

This morning I was going to blog about me and Trent's trip to the emergency room last night, but then I read other people's blogs and it didn't seem so interesting anymore. One of the blogs I read was about a new baby in my family, and the other was NieNie's blog. I have been following her blog since her plane crash last year. I love the way she writes, especially the last post she did really touched me. Trent and I are coming close on our HOA's deadline to get our backyard done... I am dreaming of planted flowers and potted plants and vines up the wall outside the window and honeysuckle. It will be our little desert oasis, our tiny backyard. I am excited to get started.

And as far as the ER goes, I was having strong pains in my neck and down my left arm so I called my doctor to see if there was something she could recommend if it was related to the pregnancy, she was worried it was something with my heart and told me to go. So I did and Trent and I spent quality time together as I got xrayed among other things. We felt bad for the other people there that looked really sick and for a baby crying the whole time. But we got to hear our babies heart beat again so... it was all worth it.

Things to Love

Forgot to include my "Why I love Trent"... hopefully this won't be TMI but I think it is hilarious... the other day Trent was in the shower and a quarter fell out of his butt. Yes you heard me right! Apparently, earlier that day, he had been laying on our luv sac naked with loose change underneath him.

• Spaghetti (is it a pregnancy craving if I have eaten it around 10 times in the last week and intend to eat it for dinner tonight and for the 3rd time today? I guess I need the licopene...)
• Getting taxes filed
• first time home buyer credit
• being able to rent a at home baby heartrate dopplar monitor for peace of mind
• Peace of Mind
• secret fit belly maternity pants... so what if I don't have a huge belly yet, they are so cozy!
• figuring out a cure to my bloaty-ness... scratch that... it's back and worse than ever... ugh!!
