Update on me.

I have been feeling a lot better the last 2-3 days! Yay! It is so great to be able to get up and get dressed with out being so exhausted I have to lay back down! Or to be able to drive myself somewhere or to be able to go to the store without throwing up in the parking lot!

I had my second Doctor appointment today and everything is going well. I actually have lost 1 pound because I have been sick, which has never happened before! Usually I gain and gain and gain, so we will see how that goes. In 8 weeks they will do the ultrasound, even though in one week they could tell if I am having a boy or girl. I miss my Kanab doctor who did ultrasounds for free just to find out the sex of the baby and then the real one later! Oh well, that's life in a bigger, less personal city I guess, even though I do thing my Doctor is great. My appointment was at 8am and he had already delivered 2 babies that morning! Talk about busy!

My Relief Society at church is doing a "read the book of mormon in 60 days" challenge (because that's how long it took Joseph Smith to translate it, when he wasn't hiding and running from mobs) and it's been awesome. There definitely is a power in that book and there is no way that he just made it up. I know it every time I read it that it truly is ancient scripture, just like the Bible.
One of the things we are to do is circle how many times it says Christ, or any of his other names and also underline his attributes. Every page talks of Christ - it is amazing! I never realized how much the book testifies of Him! And, at this time of politics and trying to figure out where I stand on some issues, a lot of my questions have been answered by this powerful book. Some days when I was so sick, this is the only thing that got me through the day without feeling totally depressed and worthless. It's been wonderful!

So, that's some of what I've been thinking and doing lately! Oh, yeah, and cleaning up 10-20 of Isaac's random messes every day! Today it's been all my sewing pins and all the loose papers in Tim's journal (and it's only 10am). Yesterday the big one was my moisturizer painted on my mirror with my blush brush (totally ruined). Oh yeah, and the crayon all over the walls and hard wood floor and fireplace (I don't know how he found a tiny piece of broken green crayon, but he did). And I could go on and on, but you get the picture! And this all happens in the matter of 3 minutes when I go to get something for Andrew or answer the phone or something!

The next 2 posts are more interesting with pictures and stuff.

Oh I am so sorry you have been so sick. That is not so much fun. On a better note, that is AWESOME you are reading the BOM in 60 Days. We did that challenge on my mission and it enlightened my understanding of Christ and so many other things. TFS your feelings, even when life is a little tough! You're amazing girl! PS I loved that your boys were super heros! What a great idea! We need to get over and visit you guys soon! We'll be in touch!

I am thrilled for you to be feeling better! What good news!

I really appreciate the testimony you shared of the Book of Mormon. I've never tried to read it that fast but you've got me interested. I think that's a really awesome challenge! Good for you to take it! You're an inspiration!

I don't know how you handle the stress of surprises like crayon on the wall. I think I would lose it - maybe that's why HF sent me girls. I have always admired your positive attitude and patience with your kids. You're a fabulous mother and this baby is so lucky to come into your family!

I'm glad you are feeling better. When I was pregnant with Lyla, I was scheduled to have an ultrasound at like 20 weeks. I was 18 weeks and I didn't want to wait 2 more weeks to find out so I went to this fetal photo place in the mall. It was like $100 for a dvd of the ultrasound and a bunch of pictures and of course to find out what the baby was. Have you guys thought of any names in case its a girl?
