Brother & Baby

In 4 hours, 34 minutes, and 27ish seconds I see him!


Elder Scotty Michael Elders will be returning home from the Georgia Macon mission Honorably and I'm so excited to see him.

On a different subject. I'm getting bigger & I feel my baby boy move all the time. I'm a very picky/particular pregnant person and I only like things said a certain way and done a certain way.

I don't like profile pictures.
I don't like people/strangers randomly touching my stomach (its mine, not yours). At least ask me if you can.
I don't like being called big.
I don't like really being called anything.
I don't like the belly pictures... at all.
I don't like referring to my baby as "in the oven" or "cooking away", he's a human not a pop tart.
I don't like being told that i'm growing in other places... ahem...as if I didn't know... thanks for the update though.
I don't even like, "Ah... you're starting to pop... cute..." What am I suppose to say to that. Thanks? I've been trying to pop for quite some time now....? No.

These are just a few things that I don't like. I could name a million more.

However, I have come to realize that people have an IMPOSSIBLE task of trying to please a pregnant person. Some want to be called huge, some want to be told they are ready to pot, some want everyone to touch their stomach, and some want to slap whoever comes near them. Some take a profile picture of themselves everyday... some don't. So alas, even though i'm a picky-particular-pregnant-person... I also understand that you really can't win and your just trying to be nice. So... thanks for all your comments! :)

Mostly.... I just LOVE being pregnant!!!!!! I LOVE feeling him kick and I LOVE that i'm going to be a mom so so so soon!!!!!

Its a good day

Happy!

So I’m sitting here. Sitting here thinking about all the wonderful/exciting/stressful and random things to come in the next couple of weeks and months. We’re in the library at 9:23 PM on a Friday night and basically, I’m thinking… this is what we’ve signed up for… for the rest. of. our. lives.

Dramatic? Yes. Realistic? No. Am I nauseated with a headache? Yes. So let me be dramatic :)

-14 days: since a beautiful, wonderful, beloved girl/Gary’s girlfriend was baptized in Chicago

-3 days: since Landon & I submitted Landon’s Medical School Applications

37 minutes: Until Landon promised we can go home, heat up some popcorn, make his famous orange ice cream Julius and cuddle while we watch something

4: 4 days till I turn in my internship portfolio

12.5 credits: left till I graduate from BYU (and 6.5 of those will be completed in 4 days)

9 days: left till Jacqueline & Gary arrive to P-Town… PARTY! Golf? White collar? Yes?

13 days: till my little brother, my best friend, my pal, our scottY comes home from his mission

19 days: is when we find out Lando’s MCAT score! AH!!!

23 days: till the WOOLFS are in P-TOWN—and yes another party!!!

40ish days: will be when med schools start sending us secondary’s…. Aka: ask us for more money, only to have 95% of them reject us. Basically we are paying a year’s worth of tuition to get ACCEPTED into Med school :). Love it.

61 days: summer term ends! Yes. Two week break? Bahamas? No Money? Ok, Ok… SLEEP=CHEAP!

65 days: till I bask in glory for 5 seconds while walking down graduation isle. I’m. So. Excited!!!!

81 days: will be our 730 day ANNIVERSARY a.k.a 2 years :)

100ish days: lando starts flying away from me to impress some admission interviewer. Impress well babe!

149 days: is when my dream job begins, our whole world changes forever, and I embark on the divinely ordained role of motherhood.

In other words…

OUR BABY BOY IS HERE!!!! (Both statements are how I truly feel, all. the. time. :)!!!!!!!!!!!)

And…

2 minutes: til my Landon turns to me and says, “you ready” and we stroll out of this here library, hand-in-hand, headed to our wonderful little home to fall fast asleep with a smile on our faces because of all the wonderful, wonderful, WONDERFUL things to come :).

Have a great weekend! I know I will.
