24 Weeks- Grapefruit/corn


Friday evening-
The Mill’s ended up cancelling on us for dinner since it was snowing (which didn’t last long at all but better safe then sorry I guess). So being pregnant I had been excited about food so I was upset and didn’t know what we should eat. And then Spencer came home late so I was emotionally unstable but we figured we would go to Taco Bell and then we got the RedBox movie “Here comes the Boom” it wasn’t too bad of a movie. We had a bad night, he went to read and go to bed and I stayed up and organized the ottoman and our bookshelf. I’m missing my children’s hymn book and it’s driving me crazy! I’m not sure what happened because I always put it back in the same place (sorry mom)
Hopefully I will find it soon, I’m pretty sure I didn’t loan it to anyone but maybe I did and forgot. Blasted so that’s been a little frustrating.

Saturday-
Week 24! My phone decided to do a software update. Once it finished it changed a few things in my phone and was slower than SNOT! Eventually it became a little faster and I figured things out. My favorite game on my phone wasn’t working so that sucked but I decided to uninstall it and reinstall and so now thankfully it works better!
I had another rough moody morning, ugh poor Spencer I’m really sorry. We got ready and I headed out quick to take some pictures for my class. I went to Memorial Grove but it was snowy and cold and I wasn’t in the mood so I didn’t take as much as I should have. I just don’t like taking pictures in the winter it’s just dirty and gross most of the time. I stopped by the store quick then headed home. I came home and organized the bathroom and cleaned the floors. We kind of just kicked around the house and didn’t do a whole bunch but work on our talks here and there. Around 730 or 8 we noticed there was a car accident in front of our place again like two weeks ago. (Only that time we missed out on all the action). When we noticed I was spying through our bedroom window and heard a the cop yell at one of the guys to stand right in front of our place and not move or he would send him to jail. Eventually I moved outside and my neighbor came out too and we met up with our top neighbors. We stayed outside for about two hours watching the whole thing. I missed the actual accident. But it was super fun to chill out with the neighbors, especially my top neighbors they are nice. Basically there was a parked car and a car slide and hit it and then 4 more cars slide and hit back to back. All cars worked fine and no one was hurt so I didn’t feel bad watching live entertainment. The one guy was the husband to the girl in the first car and he was freaking out and once the cop turned away he left his wife there and walked away and never came back! What a jerk! So most of the action was everyone waiting to be told they could leave.
An actual person did get hit by one of the cars sliding but he was fine. I did finally tell my neighbors we were expecting a baby so that’s finally off my chest. Then we just sat and told stories. Apparently the top neighbors are members but not active so that’s something new and they did stop smoking and that’s always good. Then all the cars moved around 10pm and there was nothing else so we all left to go to bed.

Sunday-
Happy 25th Birthday Spencer!
I did not sleep very well so I just woke up in a bad mood. In general I just was ready for this talk giving to be over because I didn’t want to do it. We had to get to church a little earlier so we hurried out the door and had a short little meeting before sacrament started. Before sacrament Spencer said oh he looks like Elder Oaks but it probably isn’t. I started freaking out though because that would be cool if he was here but I was NOT ready to be talking with someone that high up listening to my words. I was already emotional about the situation and that didn’t help. So we sat on the stand and what do you know it’s Elder Dallin H. Oaks who will be sitting right next to me. He really didn’t say much but you really can feel the Spirit that comes from their presence. I almost cried, it was great for him to be there but I felt terrible because I was not in the best mood or had the right attitude. When we sang the opening him we shared the hymn book with him and I was squished in the middle of him and Spencer, I couldn’t hear myself sing lol Also I went to the bathroom before sacrament because I didn’t want ot have to go during the meeting. But of course that’s when Isaac decides to start kicking my bladder during the first speaker. Ugh so I couldn’t wait any longer and had to leave during the meeting, it was embarrassing because everyone sees you but you have to go when you have to go thanks to babies kicking. But I calmed down and when it was my turn to speak I was shaky for the first two paragraphs or so and then I calmly read my talk and didn’t rush through it. It still was only 5-8 minutes long probably but I did pretty well besides not having a good attitude about the situation.
Spencer’s talk was amazing, and when he speaks about the Gospel he always makes me proud to be his wife. Towards the end Elder Oaks asked when I was due and I said June 1st and then we shook his hand and were on our way. On a side note he dozes off in sacrament meeting too. It was a great experience to meet someone so high up in the gospel. He said he didn’t have any Stake business so he decided to stop by our ward. He didn’t speak in our sacrament meeting he was fine just being there. It was a lot of pressure giving a talk in front of him, it was for me anyways. I don’t think he judges our talks but maybe in my heart it was more I didn’t feel like I had 100% given my all to the talk and so maybe he felt that. But I guess God is always listening to us too and he is the highest there is.
Anyways after that I went to nursery and it was another fairly calm day with 5 or 6 kids. We had cupcakes and what messy faces there were lol
Nursery age kids are so helpful and loving, they melt my heart.
After church we headed home and because of the snow we didn’t want to risk a couple weeks ago when we had a hard time coming home from laundry. So we didn’t go to Jessica’s and of course because we didn’t it stopped snowing a little while later. Go figure! We watched some Netflix and ate lunch then I tried to take a nap. Which I’m not sure I really slept well again but oh well.
Then we watched The Emperor’s new groove while doing a few things. Later we watched Home Improvement while playing Rumikub.

Monday-
I woke up this morning and took my time getting ready. I watched some shows on Hulu and took a shower. Then had some bonding time with Isaac, I read him a book and talked to him for a little bit.
Not too bad outside, so headed off to work. There isn’t much going on here so maybe I will read my book or something.
I would really like to get another pair of pants but that probably won’t happen, oh well.
Just have my photography class tonight and will also be doing some dishes.

Pregnancy-
Week 24- Isaac is the size of a grapefruit/corn
I am up to 128 pounds, so we are making progress here and there. I really am trying to eat more food but it’s just hard because I dislike food so much. Lol unless it’s already made for me then it’s easier to eat it. He still kicks about the same nothing crazy. This morning he was kicking a little so I decided to sit and talk to him and watch my belly move. And decided why not read him a children’s book this morning too. We had some bonding time. Isaac also now kicks my bladder so that's been fun!

Countdown-

28 days until our birthing classes start
33 days until the Salt Lake City baby shower
46 days until our maternity photo shoot!
82 days until the Tooele baby shower
110 days until Squirt’s due date!

Spencer's birthday weekend!


Thursday evening-
Yesterday after work I made dinner and watched a Disney movie while I waited for Spencer to get home. Then we watched a few church videos and I stayed up watching some actually TV while I put a rice bag on my achy leg. Sigh, oh the lovely things of pregnancy.

Friday-
This morning I watched some more Hulu videos and just relaxed. It takes awhile for me to really wake up in the morning’s lol
So my mornings aren’t always very exciting. It’s supposed to snow today, tomorrow, and Sunday… yikes.
At work it’s pretty dead which is normal for Friday but I plan to just warp up my talk and print it out. Then I can edit a little on Saturday if need be.
After work we are going to dinner at Trio with Brother & Sister Mills so I’m pretty excited!
Then on Saturday work on or finish our talks and clean up the house a little bit. I need to also practice taking some pictures; hopefully it won’t be too bad weather wise outside.
Sunday is Spencer’s 25th birthday, we will give our talks, and then go to Jessica’s and I will make dinner for us all while we do our laundry. Grammy's I believe are on this Sunday too but I probably won't be able to watch them.... oh well

Pregnancy-
In two days my belly grew an inch! I am now 37 ½ inches around the belly! I was sitting on my couch last night and thinking my belly looks bigger than it did a day or so ago. So I got up and measured and what do you know!

Countdown-

Achy Legs


Wednesday evening-
We got all the packages finally done at work so yay! I added friends to the baby shower event that was in or around salt lake city on another event I will add friends from other states that want an address so don't worry you all will get invites too. Then after work I waited for Spencer to get home and we went to Red Robin for his free birthday burger! And I just ordered a yummy brownie fudge dessert! Afterwards we watched Dirty Jobs and played Yahtzee & Uno!
I either sleep from 11/1130 to 8 or 10/1030 to 9. Never makes much since to me when I go to sleeping less.

Thursday-
This morning I woke up because my landlord decided around 8 was a good time to hammer on the walls on the apartment attached to our bedroom. Oh well I couldn’t stay asleep anyways. Then I watched some shows on Hulu and got ready for the day like normal. We figured out there is kind of a grid type thing in the viewfinder of my camera but there are dots and that’s harder to see so I’m hoping there is still another way. Frustration for my eyes. I’m probably going to do most of photo taking on Saturday but not sure where to go but I should go somewhere with more than what our backyard gives us. At work it’s been pretty slow so just been working a little more on my talk which I’m feeling a little better about today than I was yesterday.
Once again no plans really for the evening.

Pregnancy-
My legs have been I guess you can say kind of cramping but it’s more just achy and made sleeping in hard and sometimes at work they will hurt. Shirts are starting to lift up so good thing I’ve got undershirts or belly bands that stretch over and keep my tummy covered. And we are going to be going on a hospital tour on the 2nd hopefully so that’s kind of exciting.

Countdown-

32 days until our birthing classes start
37 days until the Salt Lake City baby shower
50 days until our maternity photo shoot!
86 days until the Tooele baby shower
114 days until Squirt’s due date!

Long hair


Tuesday evening-
Yesterday I relaxed for a little while from a stressful crazy work day. Then ate and headed out to visit teach a sister in our ward. She is very nice but once again I feel like I have nothing in common with the sisters I visit so then I’m never sure what to say. They are all great ladies though so it’s been nice to get to know them. Then I went home and did the dishes and put the clothes away. Then Spencer and I played Rumikub and watched a few church videos on the computer.

Wednesday-
My legs were just not letting my sleep in this morning. So I got up around 8 and watched Pretty Little Liars on my computer while doing a few things with my camera. I really need to actually step outside and take pictures of what I’ve learned but easier said then done. I do better in the Spring, Summer, and Fall not Winter. I’m just trying to figure out how to get the grid on my camera because our teacher told us to do that. Then I watched a few other shows and then took a shower while listening to my music. I did my hair a little different today but nothing crazy or super amazing. But did realize I’m the only girl in my family that hasn’t cut her hair short but I do think Mallorie’s is still as long as mine or around the same length. And I don’t plan on cutting it short, maybe a trim here or there but not short, I like my neck hidden lol
I headed off to work and talked to Isaac a little bit just preparing him for the craziness in this world. Not that he even knows what I’m talking about but oh well.
At work there was LOTS I had to kind of organize and do before settling down into my normal routine. So I’m getting to my blog later than usual. It’s been kind of crazy here at work, and I can’t really talk about everything because it’s not really my place. But will be interesting how a few things play out. I like my job for the most part, and have met some awesome people but there are moments like this where I’m ready to stay home and be a mom when Mr. Isaac gets here. So I’m just hoping that all plays out okay.
After work I should work on my talk more and clean up the house mainly the floors.

Pregnancy-
Nothing new really

Countdown-

33 days until our birthing classes start
38 days until the Salt Lake City baby shower
51 days until our maternity photo shoot!
87 days until the Tooele baby shower
115 days until Squirt’s due date!

Photography Class


Monday evening-
I watched some Saved by the Bell before heading to class. It wasn’t too hard to find the school but it was an interesting first day. It was like a class of 30 people and varieties of age. I was like one minute late and so had to sit in the back and the sits were set up weird so you had to move them yourself. And those are NOT comfortable seats for a pregnant woman so glad it’s not an everyday class. The teacher seemed nice enough but all her lessons are planned on PowerPoint and her laptop wasn’t working with there projector so we sat there for 20 minutes waiting for them to try to make it work. It never ended up working but she never talked to us about anything. And then she just showed us the slideshow on her laptop in the dark. 1. It was hard to see so kind of frustrating 2. In the dark! I’m pregnant and it’s late so I’m trying not to fall asleep. If it’s going to be in the dark every class I’m going to struggle. But we learned some great information. And now only 3 more classes left to go. We have homework assignments, all you do is take a picture this way or that way and critic it yourself. You never send it to her so I personally thing that’s weird because she is our teacher and were paying for her input. But whatever I guess it’s just not the way I thought the first class would go. So then I went home and talked about some work things with Spencer and that’s about it because it was slowly becoming bedtime.

Tuesday-
I woke up starving at 6am. Then watched some shows on Hulu at home now since I can’t watch Hulu on my computer at work. I can on my phone but might as well do it at home if I have the time. Found out our one neighbors are gone, they were interesting people so I heard my landlord fixing up the place to rent out again. They must have moved fast because I swore I saw them like two days ago. So we might be getting some new neighbors. Then I headed off to work, just another day. We are working on typing up labels to send out more documents and shredding a few more things. Other than that I will probably be working on my talk if I can. This one is kind of difficult for me, I get the talk but I just have no idea how to make it into a talk. But I don’t want to wait until the last minute to do it, I want to be prepared.
After work I have one visiting teaching appointment at 7 and then before or after plan to clean up the house and do some dishes.

Pregnancy-
I’m almost measuring at 37 inches now.

Countdown-

34 days until our birthing classes start
39 days until the Salt Lake City baby shower
52 days until our maternity photo shoot!
88 days until the Tooele baby shower
116 days until Squirt’s due date!

23 weeks- Pomegranate


Friday evening-
After work Spencer and I went to Costco for a few items. Then we came home to watch more Eurkea! I found hilarious hamster videos when I was at work and just cracked up laughing!! THEE funniest thing I’ve seen.

Saturday-
Week 23, beginning of month 6. Time sure does fly by. We finished the last Eureka episode…. =[ then walked to Smith’s. It was such a nice day outside! We rented Batman Rises (not sure the actual title) and Trouble with the curve. Spencer made a few freezer meals for himself then we watched one of the movies and played Phase 10. After we then finally made treats to give our neighbors on Sunday. Then we watched another movie and played the game Sorry. Then we slowly wrapped up our evening. Now this next thing I am going to talk about I didn’t get until Sunday but technically would have gotten on Saturday if it was put in the right mailbox. I got this envelope in the mail from the name Perfetti Van Melle in Erlanger, KY. I had no idea who that was so I opened it and in bubble wrap there was 6 long airheads and no note. So we decided to look up the name to see who it was, it’s actually one of the companies that sells airheads. So the only thing I can think of was because I send that complaint of having no watermelon airheads they decided to send me airheads. But they really should think about sending a note with this mail. Here is the weird thing, out of all of those airheads they sent me…. None were watermelon. They sure don’t read their complaints very well….so it was nice of them to send me airheads but why not send me the ones I actually want! Lol

Sunday-
Spencer & I didn’t sleep so fantastic so we ended up waking up late and almost missed sacrament. Today was testimony meeting and my favorite part is when little kids come bare their testimony. You can just feel the pure love and innocence in their hearts and how close they are to the Savior. One boy came up and just made my heart melt even though I’m not sure all that he said, then another boy maybe 4 or 5 years old came up and said a few things but my favorite line was “God created the world, and that’s just awesome!” That’s such a reminder to us all, it’s just that straight forward.
We had about 7 kids in nursery; girls have been out numbering the boys. But they are all pretty quite and we don’t have many problems so it’s been kind of nice. After church we then headed to Jessica’s to do some laundry and watched The game plan and Freaky Friday. Once we got home we handed out the treats to some of our neighbors =]
We then watched a few super bowl commercials on YouTube. We were asked to give talks next week… today in sacrament I was just sitting there thinking about how I hoped we wouldn’t have to give talks before we moved. God apparently you were listening lol
I’m very nervous but I’m going to try to read the talk over and over and pray and really know what I will be talking about.

Monday-
This morning I got up and found out the Radio Rebel movie was on Netflix so of course I watched it. And then before you knew it was time to hurry and get ready for work. I was looking through some old photos from the beginning of College, 2010 and just great memories. I had fun for the most part!
Then at work today I just don’t feel gorgeous but someone mentioned my belly was getting big so that brightened me up a little bit.
Today we are shredding some papers and a mailing a few things out if everything is sorted out before the end of the day.
Not too much going down but excited for my photography class tonight from 7-9. I’m a little nervous because it’s late and it’s been awhile since I sat for 2 hours listening in a classroom. I just hope this teacher is nice and fun and not boring so that I will pay attention. I will be bringing snacks for my pregnant self and I hope they won’t mind.

Pregnancy-
Week 23 Isaac is the size of a pomegranate and he weighs around a pound. He hasn’t moved a whole bunch lately until last night. He was kicking so much harder than before. Only for like 15 minutes on and off. At one point it was 4 punches in a row barely even a second in between. Just an amazing thing. I feel that my intestines are more squished to the top. (If I’m repeating myself it’s because I can’t remember what I say when) I’m up a total of 2 lbs from the past two weeks so now I’m 126. Also no stretch marks just yet anyways so that’s a plus. I think I’m starting to feel heartburn on and off but it’s hard to tell because it’s just like a burning in my throat but on random foods. I’ve probably said this before but they say your moodiness dies down in the 2nd trimester but I think that’s a load of crap because the 1st trimester I wasn’t moody but now I’m moody on and off.

Countdown-

Today is my photography class!
35 days until our birthing classes start
40 days until the Salt Lake City baby shower
53 days until our maternity photo shoot!
89 days until the Tooele baby shower
117 days until Squirt’s due date!

Running out of title names


Thursday evening-
After work I came home and just watched some saved by the bell. I then tried to video tape Isaac kicking my belly. I got one where you see my belly move from him kicking but not as good as I could of gotten so I will wait until he decides to kick some more. Then Spencer came home and we watched some more Eureka. Then it was bed time once again. The exciting life that we live right now.

Friday-
I didn’t sleep amazing but that’s what happens when you have to get up to eat food. When I woke up I read an article and slowly took my time getting ready. Not too bad of a morning with no snow for awhile. So everything is a little warmer outside.
I had an ahh I’m running out of time moment with being pregnant which I’m sure will happen a lot. So I’m just taking breaths and looking for deals here and there for things. I’m just one of those people that likes to get things done and have everything ready months before hand so not being able to buy the all the last little things left I need for Isaac is driving me nuts! I feel I should have started buying things years ago. Lol
At work there isn’t much at ALL going on so I’m going to be bored out of my mind again. So thank heavens it’s Friday! I feel like this week took forever to be over with.
Afterwards we plan on going to Costco for a little while
Saturday not too much, maybe cleaning up the house and making treats for our neighbors.
Sunday just nursery again
