BORED

I got done with work a little early today and Josh worked till 5. So with a little time to spare and a some extra scraps of fat quarters.... I made up a little dress for Olivia. No pattern, just lots of spare time.:)

WHICH ONE?

OK, So my bedding that I ordered is on back order and they just came out with a new bedding set that I'm drooling over:) My dilemma? Do I cancel my one I have and get the new one ( i LOVE LOVE LOVE the ruffle skirt) or do we like the original one I ordered? Please tell me which one you like better!!!

MY MOTHER

Since I'm going to be away from you Mom on this weekend that we celebrate what amazing mothers we all have. I'm going to let EVERYONE know how great my Mom is:)

For those of you who dont know my Mom, let me tell you a little about her.

She is AMAZING, kind, funny, talented, BEAUTIFUL, caring, very organized, and giving.
She calls to ask how you are everyday. Comes all the way to parowan when you are sick to clean your house and make dinner:) Makes you feel like you are extremely important to her. Even though this is grandchild # 26 for her, she acts like it is her first and is so excited, which makes me feel strangely happy. Still lets me lay on her lap at night and cuddle with her. Leaves messages on your phone just telling you she missed you and hoped you where having a good day. ALWAYS calls on bad days and doesn't even know it!!! I have never met someone who is so willing to give you anything she can to help make you happy. Never lets anyone feel like she doesn't care.

I want to be JUST LIKE HER. Some days I even ask Josh how am I ever going to accomplish something so selfless;) When my house is dirty and I dont have the motivation to clean I pretend like I am my mom and then it gets done right away!!!!

I love you Mom. I can only hope that I will be 1/2 the mother you were to me. I can only hope that I can make Olivia feel as loved as you make me feel. That I can help make someones day better just because I really care about them and I show it. You truly are the most amazing woman:)

Thank you for loving your children the way you do:)

20 weeks

So I know I'm almost 22 weeks but "some how" the picture was deleted ( I'm still blaming josh) oh well i'll just miss that week:)

So I can defiantly feel Olivia moving:) She never did the light butterfly movements that everyone told me I would feel. Nope I was sitting on the couch (surprise) and bam.... she kicked her hardest and has ever since. I LOVE feeling her move around. I just sit and wonder what she's doing inside there. The best was seeing the look on Josh's face the first time he felt her! He just looked up at me with this little kid look of surprise, excitement, and a silly full tooth grin! Now, she stops moving the second he puts his hand on my belly haha..

HOLY HEARTBURN..... my goodness. Not once in my life before I was pregnant have I gotten heartburn, but since, whoo do I get it bad:) Thats actually what made me think I might be pregnant ( thanks lori!). Hopefully it goes away after.

Still lovin the fruit.... but also EVERYTHING else:)

I still get nauseous, but at least i feel like I can do most everything again.

Josh and his dad started the nursery this last Saturday... and I'm getting so excited!!!! Thanks Roger for all your help, we really loved having you come up for the day and help out!!

We took pictures of the progress and some of the stuff we found, so I'll post more tomorrow:)

NEW BABY BEDDING:)

So Last night Josh and I {josh was mostly forced to do this} sat down and looked at baby bedding. I had planned on making it..... but it seemed much easier to just buy. NEVER go to Pottery Barn Kids if you dont want to fall in love with their stuff and buy it!

{ here is the bedding }

{ And this is how were going to do the room }

Now dear Family..... We are going to need help:) We were thinking on a saturday in like 3 weeks, you could bring your husbands up and they could work on the room for the day(it would really help). Lucky for me I know I have a good family who would LOVE to help ;)

18 WEEKS AND COUNTING. PLUS I'LL MISS MY JESSICA

Ok, so it is REALLY hard taking a picture of your own belly withouth the help of someone or a mirror. I guess I could wait until josh comes home....

Anyways

This is my belly at 18 weeks (19 friday). There are times when i'm showing more than others... wierd? maybe i'm just to lazy to hold my belly in those times.

{update} evedently my belly looks bigger after working out. :)

Almost 1/2 way! i'm hoping miss olivia stays small and I dont get a rediculously huge belly. I just cant imagine trying to lose the weight after. I think out of everything that worries me (which is growing less and less each day) that is the one that kicks the bucket. Of course i'm gonna breast feed her to lose some of the pounds... but what if my body never looks the same (or close, i do realize i'm gonna be pushing a baby through my hips). So for now most of my snacks are healthy.

by the way dad. your bread from sunday (yesterday) is already gone:) it was yummy!

anyways on to much sader things.

My dear Jessica goes away for the summer on Friday. I'm so sad I wont be there to say goodbye. To make it 10 times harder, she is taking my lukie pukie away from me. The kid has gotten so cute and funny this last little bit, its going to be sad to have him growing up away from me for a whole 4 1/2 months.

Just remember Who your favorite aunt is LUKE!!! remember who's house you learned to crawl and took your first step at and who makes you laugh in the back of the car. I do realize no one can take grandma's spot and the making you laugh and all, but remember i do try! * please forget the fact that you were so heavy I always gave you back to momma!

And jessa, thanks for talking your husband into coming to see me for my shower!!!! please post WAY WAY WAY more than you do now so I dont get too homesick from him ( luke not chris).

Love you miss.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE BELLY BAND:)

Its too bad the part of being pregnant where you hate food is passing.... I'm gaining weight much more quickly now:) If only i had the energy to start exercising again we would be great!

It is so fun knowing what we are having. She is no longer being referred to as " baby " but by olivia. I have also found out, if i ask Josh to do something for me in the form of.... " Olivia is wanting".... lets say "a grapefruit, would you get one for her?".... he is sooooo happy to get something for her:) Shame on me i know, but it works soooo good!

I'm 17 weeks along ( friday to be 18) and i haven't felt her yet:( i'm so excited but the doctor said around 19 or 20 is about normal..

When did all you mothers first feel your little one move?

People are so amazing. We already have a big stacks of CUTE CUTE clothes for her:) dresses and pj's!!! sometimes I just lay them out and think about what she will look like in them:) i'm lame i already know.... no need to point it out in comments!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE going down to St. George and playing with all the new nieces and nephews. Bleah, This baby better come quick or Amberli is going to have to come steal her baby back from me;)

I should take a picture of my belly... but i cant seem to get out of my pj's today and look cute;) plus the room that we take the pictures in is a mess... so maybe next time!

I'll stop rambeling about my baby and see you all next time.

PLEASE do some postin some of your own..!
