Weekend Recap

I had a great weekend! After the week I had it was nice to have sunshine and time with friends and family.

First of all, the weather was absolutely beautiful! Saturday I went to Babies R Us with Krista and spent a lot of time there!!! She added some things to her registry and I bought quite a bit of things for the baby. They were having a huge sale and it was well worth it. I bought some things for breastfeeding that I am sure no one else is going to buy for me....just sayin. I got diapers for Rachel and for baby and some newborn clothes, etc....anyway, let me just say that I do not intend on buying anything else for baby until she is born...or at least until after the shower in a couple of weeks! I am so excited about my baby shower!

Today we had church this morning and I have to say that I was not feeling really well. I was terribly uncomfortable all morning. When we got home, I took vitamins, Tylenol, ate lunch and took a MUCH NEEDED nap! I felt 100 times better when I got up but I really wanted to sleep longer. Brice fixed the crib so that I could put the baby bedding in it and it is so cute!!! I love the baby's room! Brice went to the store and my aunt and cousins came over to watch the superbowl. We really didn't watch much of the game. We ate burgers and cheese dip and stuff and just hung out watching the kids. We had a good time. The Steelers are Brice's team and he is very glad that they won. I didn't care either way.

Tomorrow Rachel goes to Parent's Day Out and depending on how I feel, I might do some scrapbooking. I haven't even had the chance to try out my Cricut cartridges! I have 2 pages lined up to do but just haven't done them...I really need to get a move on it so that I can start on the baby's in the next month or so.

I am feeling okay at this point in my pregnancy. Like I said, I was uncomfortable this morning...maybe because I am 8 months pregnant. I have gotten to where I can't eat much at a time...no room, I suppose. I still have only had minimal swelling in my hands. Today my feet hurt really bad but I did not have any swelling. I am getting increasingly more tired with each day but honestly I am enjoying pregnancy this time around. I love everything about feeling her move around...although she does hurt me sometimes. It is just incredible to think about how God fashioned this little being inside of me!!! I go back to the doctor on Wednesday for my 32 week checkup.

Congratulations to Jill and Dennis on the birth of their baby girl - Brighton!

Friends...Forever!

What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of it...but I am just skeptical.  I have been hurt

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I complain.  How off-putting is that?  I g

FUN STUFF!!

We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water.
