"Welcome to your second trimester! Your energy is likely returning, your breasts may be feeling less tender, and your queasiness may have completely abated by now. If not, hang on — chances are good it will soon be behind you (although an unlucky few will still feel nauseated months from now)." ~ Baby Center

Yeah that would be nice. Energy? Nope less. Breasts? Still tender. And Queasiness? Well it's turned from being minor to throwing up almost daily. (PS i know for a lot of women throwing up daily would be better than multiple times a day, but any throwing up still sucks.)

So did anyone else develop morning sickness or did it get worse in your second trimester? I'm starting to think I'm one of those sick in the second women. Sigh.

Happy New Year!

Snow

It's one of those years i guess.

Took several hours to get home from work and when we were in walking distance of our house people were stuck on the hill and cops had blocked off another road, only letting people with 4 wheel drive past. Good thing we have great friends that live a bit further down in the valley! Thanks for letting us regroup on your couch.

I have two things to say...

1. i do not live up a canyon; i should not need 4 wheel drive to get to my house when 6 inches of snow falls.

2. you really failed salt lake county. Way to not plow any of the busy main roads! When we eventually made it home at 11 last night there was 6-8 inches of snow on the road.




PS really tempted to just go out and buy a truck today but that probably would not be the best impulse buy lol.

It's alive...

Baby's first picture.

That's right there's a baby. That's one of the reasons i haven't blogged, i was afraid the secret was going to slip out. But today we heard the heartbeat and got to see the little baby kick and it's little beating heart, so since we know it's alive I'm OK with telling everyone. So far so good with the pregnancy. The midwife says everything is looking good so I'll trust her. I have been one of the luckier pregnant ladies because i haven't gotten too sick. I'm gaining weight normally and things are going well.

We're starting to think about what we need to get together and it's exciting and scary at the same time. We said we wouldn't buy anything until the 1st trimester was over so we still have a couple weeks to live life normally.

Since people will want to know, I'm 10 weeks. The due date the little online calculator gave me is July 2, 2011.

Eggs!

I'm on an egg kick; i love them!

David makes the best eggs!

He makes them every morning for me for breakfast!

He's the best!

Getting Old

Think i will try to make this a semi-consistent topic because it's pretty funny.

This morning while eating breakfast David said "You want to know something sad? I used to get excited about frosted mini wheats because of the frosting but today I looked at them and thought "good I'm getting my fiber."'

Also, this past Friday after my mission reunion, which was great by the way, we went out to sushi and then shopping at Kohls then we were halfway to the movie theater for a 10:20pm showing, not a 12:00am showing a 10:20, and i realized that we were both yawning and we decided to turn around and go home in stead so that we could get to sleep.

That Friday night we had to sleep on our old bed for the night and when we woke up the next morning we were sore and complaining about how we didn't sleep well. We kept swearing we'd never buy anything but a memory foam mattress for the rest of our lives.

Do we sound like your grandparents? I thought so...:)

Jack David

Baby Jack came! He's pretty cute! And is it wrong that i'm jealous of a new born baby's hair? He has lucious, thick, curly locks. David is excited to have a new nephew to teach a bunch of tricks to.

Alice loves her little brother.

Clothesline

David built me a clothesline. He used fencing stuff for the poles and then drilled some holes and used eye bolts to attach the string to. Then we cemented them in the back yard. It was all much easier than we thought it would be and I'm so excited for my clothesline.

We went on a walk yesterday and picked some wildflowers on the way home. They're pretty.

Isn't he so cute putting the string on. He even used fancy boy scout knots.


Ray Ray lounging.

Ta Da! I love the look of that. Can you tell we like green and orange? Yay for being all domestic. Loving it.
