Keeping busy

Well I am keeping busy with Morgan, but during my down time I have found some things that I have gotten into. I have really gotten in the twilight series by Stephanie Myers. I am surprised at how much I have enjoyed the books. I have never read 3 big books so fast. I would recommend these books if you are looking for something fun and intense to read. They are such a popular book right now. Everyone I talk to have read them or are reading them.

Jericho is on CBS, tuesday evenings. It is a great series. It is the only show that I will actually sit down and watch without doing anything. Jeremiah and I started watching the series on line one evening trying to find something to do. We didn't realize it at the time how much we would get into the show, but we are definitely Jericho fans. Season two just started. If your interested you can watch season one online. They show the full episode. There great, but be careful you might become a Jericho fan. It is nice watching a show the is clean, and intense.

Well there are a least two things that I have enjoyed. As far as everything else we are down to 10 days and counting. I am getting excited to have a boy, and Morgan is getting excited as well as Jeremiah when he has time to think.

Valentines was a success

• Valentines was a success! I surprised Jeremiah with a night on the town and a stay at the Hilton, since our lives will change in a couple of weeks. I decided to splurge with the extra encouragement from my brother chris telling me" you have to invest in your relationship". Well if you know me at all I am sometimes to practical, but chris recommended going on to priceline.com. Priceline.com is a site in which you can name your own price for a hotel. But there is no going back if they except your deal, and you don't know where you will be staying until after. You put in your critiera which in my case I wanted a 4 star hotel, and in the down town area. Well I was nervous and excited, just naming my price was a big adventure. Well the first price they didn't except, so I decided to try it again. The second price they excepted and we had a room at the Hilton for a great price. Well it gave me something to look forward to other than having this baby. We had fun, we went to a movie and then went to the hotel and had crackers and other snacks. We were going to go out to eat but we were so tired. My sister and my neice were gracious enough to watch Morgan for the night. I probably drove her crazy because I kept on calling to make sure everything was okay. She finally told me that she knew what she was doing. I wish I could say that I had the best nights sleep but having a 21/2 weeks left in your pregnacy you seem to wake up alot. Jeremiah was a good sport and let me turn tv on to keep distracted. By 6:00 am I was up and ready to go swimming. Jeremiah begged me for more time to sleep but being such a great husband he got up with me. It was fun to do something adventures. I have been anxious for an adventure other than pregnacy for a while.

  

  

  Morgan is sometimes to honest. She put her hands on my belly and looked me straight in the eye and told me " Mommy your belly is toooo big", thanks morgan for pointing out the obvious. She likes to pretend that she is pregnant as she tries to stick out her belly like mama's. I am anxiously waiting for my belly to be smaller and back to my prepragnacy weight.

Spring Fever, Winter Blues

• Yesterday was so nice the sun was out and was looking forward to spring. Today I had the winter blues as I was stuck inside all day. I don't mind the winter, but I don't think I would miss it to much. Here is my top 10 list of things I love about winter, I thought I would start out with the positive.

  Ten things about winter!

  1. The simple beauty of everything all white

  2. Knowing that the snow provides us water

  3. Watching Morgan play in the snow

  4. Staying in and drinking hot chocolate

  5. A White Christmas, except this year we missed the white christmas visiting Jeremiah's family

  6. Sledding on bunny hills with Morgan(first year, and very pregnant but loved it.) I also love snow shoeing which I discovered last winter. I decided to pass this winter.

  7.The Snow peaked mountains

  8. Wearing winter clothes that are so comfortable( The sad thing is I wasn't able to wear my favorite winter outfits because I was pregnant, and last winter I was still trying to lose this weight. This winter will be great!

  9. Watching Morgan try to catch a snow flake in her mouth

  10. Watching Morgan throw a snow ball at Jeremiah, pretty dang cute.

  10 Things I dislike about winter!

  1. Scrapping the snow off the car

  2. Driving during the winter when the roads are snowy and icy.

  3. The below freezing temperature.

  4. The constant fear of Jeremiah driving in the snow, hoping he will make it home

  5. The Constant fear of being in an accident with Morgan in the car

  6. Falling on the ice( luckily it hasn't happened yet)

  7. Crazy winter drivers

  8. Not having covered parking

  9. Not being able to go outside as much as I would like

  10. Trying to entertain a two year old all day with out being able to take her outside

Bringing the fun inside

• 

  Well being 36 weeks along, and not wanting to go out and play in the snow. I decided to bring the snow inside, and what better place than the bath tub. It was a huge success. The snow of course melted faster than I would of liked but it was fun building a snow man. Morgan loved it, and it was the warmest place to play with snow.

My Other Halfs

• 

  Thirty years ago today, I had the great opportunity to come to earth with two of my best friends. It has been 30 years of memories in the making, and it is hard to be away from them on our birthday. It seems crazy to cross over to my 30's, but 3 is my lucky number so maybe my 30's will be great years. I have no regrets looking back at the last 30 years of my life. There are always little things I would have changed but then I think those challenges are what makes me who I am today. My siblings bring out the best in me, and it is always comforting to know that even though I am getting old they are just as old as me. As I look back, I think about all the times my sister would do my hair and make me feel beautiful. Back in the days I had no fashion sense and lacked the ability to do my hair. I remember getting so upset becuase my sister would do her hair and it was perfect, and then I would look at my reflection and wonder what happened to me. She has a natural talent of making me feel beautiful. I'm happy to say that I now have some sense of fashion. My brother was and always will be there for the "boost me up talks". My favorite times with my brother are those trips we took after his mission to california and back. It was a great bonding moment. The Lord knew that I wouldn't survive without my buddies helping me along the way.

  I also want to recognize my mom and dad who sacrificed so much for us, I am sure it wasn't easy raising three at once. I have a hard time with one sometimes. My parents molded us into great individuals. I am also greatful for all my friends that have helped me along the way and my husband. Special thanks to my blogging buddies that have befriended me up here in Logan, and have made the transition so much easier. Thanks Katie and Rachel.

She's my Girl!

The best place for a sticker is on your belly, or that is what Morgan thought. It was great entertainment while it lasted. I think she is in desperate need of a brother to keep her company. I wish I could say that the time is fast approching, but I feel like time is going by slower and slower. I have 5 more weeks before I can introduce Morgan to her brother. She will be a great help. She loves to pretend to be a mom, she tells me all the time that I need to listen. When it is time for me to take a shower she gets me a towel and puts her toys in the bathtub for me. She is such a joy to be around, I had no idea how much I would enjoy being a mom.

Top 10 things I love about being a mom!

• I love watching Morgan Sleep and the peaceful look on her face and being able to kiss her over and over again.
• I love her random kisses and hugs
• I love watching her learn and develop
• I love being able to stay at home with her( thanks Jeremiah for working so hard)
• I love her cuddles
• I love her willingness to help and her ability to teach me patience while she is helping cook or clean.
• I love her laugh
• I love when she kisses my boo-boo's better
• I love the silly things she does that makes me laugh
• I love watching her interact with her daddy
• I love being able to wipe her tears away and comfort her( there is always room for one more answer)
