Update time!

I wanted to post again, but so much has taken place that I couldn't hardly face it. I hadn't even posted a Halloween picture. So here it is. Our little witch loved Halloween. She was so cute and just loved trick or treating after the ward's Trunk or Treat. Mom and dad came with us around our neighborhood. They all took turns pushing me around in the wheelchair with Alexis on my lap for a lot of it.The best part about the last little while is that I am still pregnant. We had a big scare at week 25 and I was put on bedrest. Well I am basically off bedrest, but I still move at a snails pace. I am 34 weeks and am scheduled to have a c-section in 2.5 weeks. Crazy! I noticed that my feet are starting to swell. I am monitored twice a week and still getting progesterone shots in my butt every week. I have gained 40 lbs, but Jayne informed me my arms are skinny, so I guess I am fine with 40lbs!! These little boys have all their limbs in one area of my tummy and that is right below my ribs, and ocassionally under my ribs beating the crap out of me. I make a pee pee run every 30 minutes and at least every hour in the night. Ouch! That physically hurts and mentally hurts worse. I have several painful contractions a day, and my belly is starting to PROTRUDE A LOT!!!!! I will post a picture tonight! I am one who NEVER wants to miss church, but I have the last two weeks, because it is just too dang uncomfortable. I also get shin splints up my whole entire legs, and sometimes walking is more that i can stand! The blue shirt picture was taken last week.

probably 7 weeks ago

Okay so last week we had a family baby shower for Jayne and it was sooo fun and soooo cute!!!! Thanks to Kathryn Lemone we borrowed a ton of her stuff to decorate with, but with our finishing touches it was so stinking cute at my mom's house. I am sure the pics won't do it justice. Jayne deserved a great shower and she got some GREAT stuff!!! It was so fun to have her here for a week.

Thanksgiving was very small with just 8 of us this year, but it was so nice and easy and laid back. It was fun to watch mom and pa cook, however I did make a cheeseball and we bought pies! Jayne made a YUMMY jello salad. Mom's turkey was VERY good and the candied yams were a hit again. ALexis helped mom set the table and mom taught her everything she needed to know about the how you set a Thanksgiving table. I am not sure what was exactly dad's specialty, but we was in the kitchen the whole time overseeing all of the food, especially the delicious lemon pepper celery sticks! It was a GREAT day, and I was happy that it was so nice and intimate.

Oh yeah, I had an awesome shower for me a few weeks ago. My GREAT friends put it on for me, but Kathryn really shined on this event. She went all out and it was sooo nice. I have such great friends. I really scored!! These boys are lucky! Jennifer was in town so mom, Natalie, and her were there which made it extra special!

While Jen was here, she and mom REALLY helped me get the nursery going. They let me totally boss them around and they did all the hard labor and painting!!! I am not going to lie it was nice not have to do all that painting. I must admit this nursery is REALLY going to be cute!!!!!

Alexis went to the dentist for the first time. The dentist is my cousin. He was VERY patient with her shyness!

In the mood, yet so not in the mood.

Freaky, crazy, brother

My post of the day today is to look at my bro's blog and see what kind of dad he is. VERY FUN, and VERY playful and Very crazy!! Look at the side bar at John and Kelley.
This is the same bro who would ask me to pull hairs out of his head or legs one by one while watching T.V. He said it felt good. Freaky right??

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JILL!!!!!

I must just say ditto to Jayne's' post, because that is SOOOO true!!!  She really steps up into the nurturing role.  I turn to all my sisters for different reasons.  They each fill my needs in different ways.  I won't go into what Jenn and Jayne do for me, but I will say what Jill always does on this glorious day of her birth!!

Jill ALWAYS shows the spiritual side of something.  She will make you NEVER feel guilty, she will tell you to LET up on yourself, she will tell you to do what makes you feel good, (in a non-sinning way!!!).  WHenever you call her with a problem or issue, you can be guaranteed you will get off the phone TOTALLY feeling better about your issue.  She makes things seem do able and not so overwhelming.  For example, the two times that I have cried this year over my frustrating trials, I called Jill.  Both times i hung up all better, because she has just the right advice!  Basically, she helps you always feel good about yourself, and the world needs more of that.  THANKS JILL!!  You are the BOMB!!!

IF anyone cares, let me just say that I have reached a whole NEW level of being miserably, uncomfortable!
