Exciting week

This week brings our family many exciting new happenings. On Sunday Craig will have a new calling in church, Monday is my 33rd birthday & Wednesday is the 'BIG DAY'- Our ultrasound. I am so excited I can hardly wait! I really hope we can find out if it's a boy or girl. Baby, you better cooperate!! LOL

The other day I had one of those 'I need chocolate-NOW' moments. We've all had those, right? So, I searched the house for something more than semi-sweet chocolate chips, that just wouldn't cut it. After about 30 minutes of searching, (seriously) I remembered I had seen some Christmas chocolates in my nightstand. You know, the Nestle crunch bells. So, I RAN upstairs to my 'stash' that I had forgotten about & devoured 3 or 4. Now, I know when I need a little 'something', it's right there & I can sneak a few without anyone knowing. Hehehe. I'm so selfish!!! I know. I AM NOT sharing though! I blame the pregnancy.........

I've been thinking lately that I need to do more with my life. Not that I need to DO MORE, but I need to try to make everyday special, a memory, for my kids. I'm not sure if it's a pregnancy thing, (where I feel like a slug on a log all day) or what. I've been so tired! I feel like I let the days slip by so fast. Sometimes it doesn't seem so fast, but before I know it the day is gone & I wonder if I really spent any quality time with my children, if I hugged & kissed them BEFORE bedtime & told them I loved them. A lot has happened to people around us lately, deaths, sickness, you name it. Our family has been so blessed to be so healthy. I am very grateful. I feel like it could all be taken from me at anytime & I don't want to wonder if I could have done things better or if I took those little moments for granted. I want to do it right. Speaking of which, my kids have the day off of school today for Superintendents Conference. I vow to NOT blog anymore today, I am going to go play outside with them......

Will update the news next week.

Craig is funny!

Craig likes to sing. He sings anytime, anywhere. He's good too! Sometimes he sings so loud in the shower it wakes the kids up in the morning. So, the other night Craig & I had a meeting with the second counselor in the Stake Presidency, President Claussen. News of that to come later.... but before we went to Pres. Claussen's house for the meeting, we stopped at our office to print out a map on mapquest for directions how to get there. Craig went in, I stayed in the truck. Then, I see a man walk in the office a minute later. There is a bell on the door, but Craig is in the back & I know he can't see him. I'm thinking "Craig is going to hear the bell on the door & think it's me, instead of this 'customer'. So, I go in to see if I can help this man. He wanted to know the pricing for sending a fax. So, as I'm telling him, Craig comes out from the back of the store laughing hysterically!! I was thinking 'what?' Then Craig goes on to tell us when he heard the bell on the door & thought it was me, he started singing ' you are so beautiful' ....to this guy!! We all laughed! The guy says ' yeah, it was good too. Better than my mp3 player." I thought it was SO funny. Had to share. Hope you got a good laugh too. I love my Craig!!

Feeling better.....finally!

Yes, I am so excited to finally be feeling normal (as much as a 4 month pregnant mom can be). I actually got a work out in today without feeling like hurling! I have only been sick for about an hour in the evenings around bedtime, so I can handle that. I haven't been sleeping well though! I get up to use the bathroom & can't get back to sleep! I was up for 4 hours last night (early morning). It's frustrating because I KNOW I'm tired & I KNOW I'll be even more tired later in the day, but I can't sleep! I hope the whole pregnancy isn't like this or I'm gonna be one grumpy mama! I need my sleep! I'm really hoping to get a nap, but then I feel like if I take a nap maybe I won't sleep good at night! It's a vicious cycle!
I go in for our ultrasound on April 1st. Yes, April Fool's Day. I'm starting to feel a little jinxed! Should I call & reschedule? No, I'm kidding. What's there is there. No worries! I can't wait! I'm very excited! I'll write about it as soon as we know anything!
I just found out that 2 of my friends are pregnant too. I'm pretty happy that they can go through this with me. I don't feel so alone. I think they are both due around the same time as each other & are about 6 weeks behind me.
I'm at that in-between stage with clothing. Nothing fits, maternity clothes are too big & you just feel fat. Remember those days? I hate it. Just to find something to wear to church yesterday was a chore. You should see the pile of clothes in my room! I can't wait to actually 'look' more pregnant rather than just fat!
Wow! It seems like I just complained a whole bunch! I am actually very grateful to be over the real sicky part. The other stuff is just what comes along with being pregnant too. Fun, fun!
