Top 6

Thursday evening-
After work I watched some Bones episodes and got ready for The X Factor.
Paige Thomas got sent home right away which is sad because for once she did an AMAZING performance. Then it was between Vino & Diamond and I knew 2 people didn’t like Vino (out of the judges) so I was pretty sure he was going home. I feel terrible but I was super excited when he got sent home.

1.Carly Rose

2.Tate

3.Emblem 3

4.Fifth Harmony

5.Cece

6.Diamond

I am alright with how it all turned out. It’s getting pretty intense because I don’t HATE any of them really. So it’s hard to even have an opinion now because I will be sad if almost anyone goes home. Cece isn’t my favorite but that’s Demi’s last person and I would hate to see Demi have no one up there.
Alicia Key’s sang her song “Girl is on fire”, such a great song! And she did an amazing performance. Then Spencer came home and we watched Dirty Jobs while I wrote down a few things we can write into OUR blog once we get a chance.
Then I felt a little sick… ugh and slowly got ready for bed. Oh I got a blessing and I remember a few things but for once I can’t remember enough and I’m just too tired and blah to write about it. sorry

Friday-
I didn’t feel really bad this morning but I drank a glass of water and 5 pieces maybe of cereal and threw it up an hour later. Then got ready for the day and before I needed to leave for work I got sick again. Sigh
I was tempting to call in because when I get sick twice sometimes I feel terrible through the whole day but I didn’t. Right now I’m just going to try to drink liquids and hope to keep them down and eventually eat some food as well. This just really sucks!
It’s Friday and not much at all is going on so I’m going to look in some past journals and do a few things. Then go home and write our blog entry finally and buy presents.
Saturday probably going to hang out with Jessica, my mom, cache, and J. Then go to a nickel arcade with Spencer, Andrew, and his girlfriend.
Sunday is my mom’s birthday so we will go out to Tooele for a little while.


Pregnancy-
Got sick twice this morning so I’m probably going to be sick more in my second trimester. I could be wrong but blah! I know Squirt is probably fine but I just worry that if I get sick a lot how much food is Squirt actually getting from me?


Countdown-

25 days until Christmas!
33 days until Squirt’s gender is reveled!
183 days until Squirt’s due date!

Cracked the code

Wednesday evening-
After work we came home and had some dinner. Then we watched some Dirty Jobs until The X Factor. Spencer did some homework and cleaned the kitchen while my show was on. So The X Factor was interesting, there was a premier of Britney & Will.I.Am’s new music video…. It was weird. Simon was SO rude to Demi like always, I love when she throws things back at him but sometimes I wish she would just hit him because he is such a jerk especially to Demi. Now for the updates on the performances

Paige: She went against Demi’s advice of just standing and singing. But Demi worked with her and they came up with an amazing performance. I don’t LOVE Paige but she did SO good and really showed who she is. She also didn’t mess up on any notes!

CeCe: She didn’t mess up on any notes either which gives her bumps up in my opinion. Only her performance was WAY over the top and that killed part of it for me.

Carly Rose: Beautifully sung as always, some notes were iffy she changed a BIG song but I think it turned out amazing

Diamond: She didn’t stick with a ballad which she is really good at. She did an up beat move around song… She didn’t do badly but when she does that she messes up on notes in my opinion. It’s too much to do at once for her.

Tate: He did more of an up beat song and he didn’t hit the notes amazing like with love country songs BUT he was energetic and loveable on stage like always. Simon didn’t like his dancing but I thought it was kind of fun

Vino: He sang good like usual in his own sort of way. The thing that Demi points out is that it’s the same thing every time. And he sings in the same position and the same stuff.

Emblem3: They do the same thing to, an upbeat song and are always singing together. So they threw out we can play instruments and we have our own songs. I think if they did that and Simon let them that they could have the audience fall even more in love with them. It would be more them and that’s how they won mine and Demi’s heart when they auditioned they sang an original song and it was great!

Fifth Harmony: One of the girl’s grandparent’s past away so they had a rough time but picked a good song for that moment. Stronger By: Kelly Clarkson, they did beautifully but once again they kind of all sing the melody instead of harmonizing and singing their own parts. And they just stand there and don’t really do too much of anything. So you are sitting there watching people just singing it’s awkward.

Then afterwards Spencer and I played War with the cards and ate some snacks while listening to some music.


Thursday-
This morning I felt a little sickish but once I slowly got food in my stomach and breathed I started feeling better. Also just praying because you need as much of God’s help as you can get some days. Then I got up and hurried to get ready for work. Our camcorder should arrive on Monday but hopefully by Saturday that would be AWESOME!
I finally cracked the security question for OUR blog so now we have a password I can remember lol That was driving me bonkers! That brightened my day some more!
Then just chilling at work nothing spectacular. There are some new shows on Hulu and a few other things I’m working on.
After work it’s another DOUBLE elimination for the X factor and at this point almost anyone could go home and I have no idea who it might be. There is one or two I want sent home but other than that it doesn’t mean America agrees with me.
Other than that there really isn’t anything planned for me this evening.

Pregnancy-
My teeth are SUPER sensitive today which is weird. I know its part of pregnancy but I though by taking my medication toothpaste it wouldn’t be so bad. Cold really hurts and gummy things.

Countdown-

26 days until Christmas!
34 days until Squirt’s gender is reveled!
184 days until Squirt’s due date!

Bread

Tuesday evening-
After work we headed over to Subway to eat a quick dinner. Then we went to the Temple for Grandpa Peacock’s marriage to Susan. She seems like a really nice lady. I was confused during a lot of what was happening but I can’t really explain it to you so oh well. We said our congrats and headed out. We then went to Costco to purchase a few things and headed home for the evening. We watched some Dirty Jobs while trying to eat some more food.

Wednesday-
I had a dream that I got to meet Demi Lovato for the first time and that she was really nice and just sat and talked with me. We talked like we were old friends, too bad that will never happen in real life. Not too bad off a morning but I was struggling to put food in my stomach which was kind of unusual. I watched a few Bones episodes and figured out some more bill situations. I also watched some Rachael Ray on TV. Then I was getting ready and started not to feel so well and tada I got sick. Ugh
I was a little late for work but I made it and once again much isn’t happening. Supposably I sent out a certain piece of mail wrong but someone miscommunitcated to me so it really wasn’t my fault. But of course that person will always find someone else to blame but if they give me a bad review in January because of that I’m going to be very upset.
I just plan on watching some shows and reading a few things.
After work I plan on cleaning the house up a little and then watching the X Factor!!!

Pregnancy-
I got sick this morning… it has been about 3 weeks since I last got sick. It was just terrible and I now have red spots around my eyes (not on my eyes) so I might have burst some blood vessels but maybe not. Ugh but I do feel a little better now that it’s all over. But I was enjoying not getting sick. I’ve realized that I used to LOVE bread so much but now yuck it is gross to me even the smell. This is a very sad moment for me.

Here are the red little dots around my eye. kind of hard to see but gives you an idea. that big red dot  is a bump that was white until this morning. i noticed i have some dots around my mouth too... weird

Countdown-

27 days until Christmas!
35 days until Squirt’s gender is reveled!
185 days until Squirt’s due date!

Perfume

Monday evening-
What a LONG workday but not too much happened. Spencer and I plan on moving out to Tooele around April-June and staying with my parents for a little while until we find a house that we like. I’m super excited and hope everything works out. =] On my way home I stopped by Smith’s to get some lasagna for dinner. My phone was acting funny which was really frustrating. We watched some Dirty Job’s while we ate some dinner and had a relaxing evening. Later I watched The Blind Side, what a sweet movie and ate some food before heading off to bed.

Tuesday-
I woke up this morning and watched some Bones episodes and later some Rachel Ray! I ate some breakfast and got ready for the day. It’s not too cold outside which is nice. Once I got to work there wasn’t too much going on. I did listen to some Taylor Swift songs while driving to work =]
After work Spencer and I are going to the temple for Grandpa Peacock’s wedding this evening! It will be really nice. Then we will be going to Costco to get a few things. Then maybe work on a few things.

Pregnancy-
So far I don’t really crave too much but what I have noticed is that I LOVE perfume smells, they smell sooo good and I’ve just fallen in love with almost every scent. Also I’m slowly not HATING food which is super nice because I would like to eat more food to keep my body full of energy and give nutrition to sweet little Squirt. It’s funny how much difference a day can make when you’re pregnant. And a bump is coming out. I will soon take a picture of the beginning of Month 4 so that you can see =] (I take pictures by month instead of weeks because that’s just too much for me even though I’d love to do that)

Countdown-

28 days until Christmas!
36 days until Squirt’s gender is reveled!
186 days until Squirt’s due date!

13 Weeks-Small Peach (Thanksgiving break)

Wednesday evening-
I ended up getting off at 4pm, yay! I felt very exhausted once I got home. But we slowly cleaned up the house and got everything ready for our trip. Jessica picked us up and took us to the airport. Once again we were TWO hours early. We almost took an hour later flight because they were going to give us $400 dollars but they only needed one person and then they changed it to a flight the next morning. So we decided against it. The plane was small but fairly decent. It was FREEZING though; I need to start bringing a blanket on flights. We sat at waiting for a gate door to open for 20-25 minutes and my bladder was about to explode! His parents picked us up, we didn’t get home their time until about 11:30….12:30 our time. I was exhausted!

Thursday-
Happy Thanksgiving! I didn’t sleep very well which made getting up and ready that much harder. No one waited up for us though so we needed to get ready to say hello. We got to see Lucas for the first time, what a cutie! Then we got to see Mason who is now a little bigger and cute as always. Then we also got to see Little bear, the cute puppy. A little later Spencer and I went and played Mario Kart & Super Smash Brothers on the Wii. It was really fun but of course I lost every game. Everything slowly came together and we had yummy Thanksgiving dinner. Mostly we held a baby here or there and not much else was going on. We did catch up on Doctor Who shows through out the break. =]

Friday-
I slept much better than the night before, so that helped a lot. We got ready for the day and headed to Stater brothers to get some things for dinner and Airheads for me! Yummy! Today was going to be our Christmas celebration! Some more family came over and we ate lunch and then played our white elephant game. I love this game a little more now. We got lotion, a bar of soap, and a puzzle pen. Besides that not a lot happened and moments happened that I can’t talk about because my feelings were hurt and no matter if I had expressed my feelings or not that person probably wouldn’t have changed what they did. And it will happen at least once or twice more in the following days but whatever I get over it. Oh and cute little bear had fallen in the pond like 2 days ago trying to step on a lily pad. Then today we saw her fall in again, sadly I missed getting it on tape!
Later though we opened up our Christmas presents from each other. Erin got me Taylor Swifts Red CD, The last song DVD, and The Blind Side DVD. Yay!
Then my mother-in-law got Squirt his/her first book! So a little later we went upstairs to listen to the CD and play Rumikub before going to bed.

Saturday-
Today we played with Logan a little bit here and there. He has grown up so much, and he is just hilarious! We took him to the park while some pictures were being taken of Mason and his cousin on Mike’s side of the family. Then we went through some boxes and a drawer of Spencer’s to see what to keep and what to throw away. We found a few cool things like a color game boy and other cool things that they will be driving up to us in December. In the afternoon Dianne & I went to see Breaking Dawn Part 2! I had forgotten what happened in the book so I was SO close to tears on some parts and then BAM they tricked you! This is probably one of my favorite movies out of the series, especially the end! Basically they Edward & Bella sit together and she projects images into his head of their life together (from twilight to now) while the movie played A Thousand Years. It was beautiful and of course they all lived happily ever after. =] I would watch it all over again just to see the ending. At the end of the movie they gave us a sample of Taylor Swifts perfume wonderstruck…. It is absolutely divine!!! Then we walked over to the Mall where Karen, Jessica, Erin, & the babies were doing some shopping. It’s kind of nice that there isn’t really anything I care to buy now. Now once I know what Squirt is I might go crazy but for now I don’t have too much of a desire to buy anything new. Later on Joseph took Spencer away for a little while with some friends and they went to eat and went bowling. While I waited for him to come home Karen, Jessica, Erin, Dianne, and I played Rumikub and Dutch Blitz. We had some good laughs here and there. Then they came over for a little while to play some video games.

Sunday-
We got up and watched the last Doctor Who episode and then got ready for sacrament meeting. We did some laundry too before packing everything back up. Afterwards we came home and ate before heading out to the airport. All in all it was a pretty good break we had some crying babies here and there, whining dogs from outside, game nights, and food. Once we got to the airport we were held up at one point because a guy had gotten blood all over the floor so it needed to be clean. We walked to our plane area to find out that we need to get on a bus that will shuttle us over to that area because it’s such a small and little flight area on its own. Once we got there it was about an hour of waiting time so not too bad. The plane was just a little bit bigger or about the same size and uneventful as always. I was so glad to finally just be off the plane. I don’t mind planes but it’s harder when I’m pregnant. Then once we got off we headed out into the cold weather and Andrew picked us up. Once we got home we had packages waiting for us! =] Happy day!
I got my 2^nd place package from Cheri Chesley- red blanket, hot chocolate, 3 books, 2 being The Wild Queen, and The Tryant King! Then I got an 18^th month anniversary present of $50 to the roof for dinner from Spencer! Also the hypnobirthing book I’ve been waiting for and can’t wait to read. Then I also got a $25 dollar gift card from Almond Dental for writing a good review for them! =]
Spencer and I then slowly ate some food and watched Dirty Jobs. Then we headed to bed about 9:30pm because I had to get up early and I was just plan exhausted.


Monday-
Ugh I got up at 6am this morning to slowly get ready for work. Oh and our faucets are dripping again its ridiculous! Then I went out in the freezing cold to head out to work. It’s fairly quite for now but I’m sure we will get more and more phone calls now that the break is over but you never know. I’m just keeping busy and hoping I won’t fall asleep since I’m here all day today. Wish me luck!
Once I get home I plan to just unpack our items and relax for the evening.

Pregnancy-
Week 13- Squirt is the size of a tangerine/small peach
My belly is getting bigger! Other then still needing to force myself to eat so I don’t feel blah, my skin itches a lot but I try to always remember to lotion it. I swore I felt Squirt move last night because it was not a normal belly bubble feeling, it was like a flutter. I could be wrong of course but it didn’t feel like anything else I’ve felt before.

Lucas having some bonding time with his uncle

nap time! Lucas & Logan out for the count

All my goodies!!

                            This first video we took Skye on a walk... at one point she just went crazy and was going    around in circles for like 2-3 minutes!

This is a video of Logan playing with Little Bear, she was trying to eat and play tug a war with Spencer's shirt

Countdown-

29 days until Christmas!
37 days until Squirt’s gender is reveled!
187 days until Squirt’s due date!

Off to Cali

Tuesday evening-
After work I went home and ate some dinner and watched my shows. Around 6:45 I was falling asleep while watching Bones. Just kind of happens now if I’m not moving around. Then Andrew and his girlfriend came over to drop off something. So we talked to them for a little while. Then Spencer and I watched a little more TV and had a somewhat relaxing evening. Then headed off to bed.

Wednesday-
 This morning I got up and had some breakfast. Then while watching some shows I packed our bags for California. We actually packed fairly well! I hope our flight and everything goes well. Then I hurried and got ready for work. Once I got to work Heather and I finished up a little project. Then I have some invoices to finish up. Other than that it’s a slow day and very quite here. Hopefully we will get sent home early but I should still get paid like I worked until 5. Just trying to keep myself busy.
After work I plan to clean up the house so it’s nice to come home to. Then Jessica will drop us off at the airport. We are flying on different airlines than I’m used to so hopefully all works out. But since we are taking everything as a carry on, I’m going to have to take out half of our things because they aren’t miniature liquid required size. Ugh


Pregnancy-
I feel like my stomach is stretching, such a weird feeling.

Countdown-

34 days until Christmas!
42 days until Squirt’s gender is reveled!
192 days until Squirt’s due date!

Second Place

Monday evening-
I found out yesterday that our work is moving to a new building sometime next year. It will be by the airport but driving for me will be about the same distance but I will have to get on the highway. It will be at 5445 Harold Gatty Drive, Salt Lake City UT
It’s pretty exciting for our company; it looks like a HUGE building. But I might luck out and be on maternity leave or have quit by the time they move.
After work we just ate leftover chili and watched some of our TV shows on Netflix. Other than that I don’t think we actually did much of anything…. I can’t remember but we probably didn’t. Oh but before I went to bed I did listen to some Christmas music while I played a few computer games.

Tuesday-
I won second place on the Spread the Word contest! I was hoping for 1^st place but second is still pretty good. I won a copy of the tyrant king book, an e-book copy to give as a gift, the Christmas anthology, a $15 Amazon gift card (which I might use to buy the second book I didn’t win) and a nice red throw to curl up on while I read. Yay! Thanks Cheri Chesley
Other than that excitement I watched some TV this morning and figured out a few bills.
Then headed off to work and it’s a slow day. Which isn’t surprising because everyone probably doesn’t want to work or doing anything so close to Thanksgiving. I don’t blame them.
After work I’m really not sure what I’m going to do. Maybe clean the living room and bedroom up a little and start packing. I should probably take a walk, that sounds like a good idea.

Pregnancy-
I seem to feel kind of hungry & nauseous while getting ready for bed. Which is weird but not too bad. I should start feeling Squirt move between 16-22 weeks and they say if you are smaller you will feel sooner so maybe in about 4 weeks, that’s very exciting! 

Countdown-

1 day until Thanksgiving in California
35 days until Christmas!
43 days until Squirt’s gender is reveled!
193 days until Squirt’s due date!

12 Weeks- Plum

Friday evening-
I watched some TV while I waited for Spencer to come home. When he came home we went to Taco Bell for dinner and came home to watch some TV shows. We had forgotten about our Neopet so we hurried and fed him and played some games. We both never were really tired so we were up until about 11:45pm before going to bed.

Saturday-
We got to sleep in for once on a Saturday morning. Then once we got ready we headed to Desert Book for their 20% off sale. We got a few presents there and I got my maternity garments. They are humongous right now but I don’t want to stretch out my normal size ones so soon I will be changing it up. Then we went to Wal-Mart to do some grocery shopping. We bought Zingers since Hostess is going out of business. (I ate one of the zingers… they barely have any filling in them. What a disappointment.) Then we came home and I got the Chili ready for our ward cook off later. Then we watched LOTS of Netflix shows and played Yahtzee and Rumikub. Then we went to our ward chili cook off, I hoped more people had shown up because there was 8 types of chili and only like 30 people to eat it. So we all had a lot of leftovers. I didn’t win which makes sense because most people like hot chili and beans but I like the original type of chili. Still I would have liked to know if people at least liked it. Now we have a lot of leftovers to eat or freeze for awhile. It was nice to talk to a few people in our ward we haven’t met yet. Then we headed home for the evening.

Sunday-
I felt pretty good for once on a Sunday morning! We had a few good speakers in Sacrament meeting. Then I headed to Sunday School & Relief Society where I tried my best to pay attention for once. I sat by my new friend Michelle who is 11 weeks pregnant and has 2 other children. So sometimes we just update each other on our pregnancies. She is a really nice person. Then Spencer and I came home for a little bit and were eating and discussing a few things. Then headed over to Jessica’s to do laundry and play with J. Then when we got home we watched a Christmas movie. Then we cleaned up the house a little and wrapped our white elephant presents and other gifts for California. Then we played a game to kill some time.

Monday-

http://www.cheri-chesley.com/2012/11/spread-word-contest-now-open.html

I’m still spreading the word!!
I slept fairly well last night but sometimes my back hurts. I woke up and watched some Crime investigation shows. On old cases or new ones that get solved by our new technology ways of finding out who did things. It was sad because one was from 1956 and they realized in 2000 the person they said did it wasn’t the person. But now it’s too long gone that they have no way of figuring out who else was there at that time. Kind of sad. Then I got ready for work another week.  It’s another beautiful fall day outside! Now at work trying to keep myself busy! Thankfully it’s only a 3 day work week =]
I’m IN LOVE with Taylor Swift’s Song State of Grace
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBwpMelH6Gg
A plumber is coming to fix our dripping faucets finally. It’s going to be weird to come home to faucets that aren’t making dripping noises.
Other than that not too much will be going on for us today, except maybe packing a little bit and getting things ready for California.


Pregnancy-
Week 12- Squirt is the size of a plum! It’s funny because if I lean back a certain way a bulge will move with me. It’s so crazy! And Squirt can feel me if I push on my stomach now, can’t wait tell I can actually feel Squirt move. Besides my body being kind of sore and my back hurting sometimes at night I’ve been fairly well. I feel sick on and off but not as much as I used to. I’m starting to get more and more excited again!

Countdown-

2 days until Thanksgiving in California
44 days until Squirt’s gender is reveled!
194 days until Squirt’s due date!

Top 10

Thursday evening-
After work I went home and made some dinner. Then I watched some shows and then The X Factor! They eliminated two people this time. I was once again kind of surprised at the results and upset with one of the ones that got sent home. Lame sauce! Taylor Swift performed a song.
1- Tate (once again, America must really love country)
2- Carly Rose (once again)
3- Vino (once again, I’m just glad he isn’t getting hire)
4- Emblem3
5- Cece (they changed her type of performance so apparently American liked the new way she did things which is interesting since all the judges didn’t like it except Demi)
6- Fifth Harmony
7- Diamond (really surprised!)
8- Beatrice
9- Arin
10- Paige
Lyrics 145 got sent home right away and then it was between Jennel & Paige (both of Demi’s girls so not cool!) They had Demi say who to send home last only that Simon was a jerk and wouldn’t give his answer until Demi did. You could tell she was shaking because she didn’t want to pick which of her own girls to send home. Simon is just SUCH a jerk sometimes. But in the end sadly they sent Jennel home which is so sad because she was one of my favorites!!!
Then Spencer came home and I did the dishes except for the pots and pans. Hen we watched a Dirty Jobs episode & this super cute YouTube video; I hope our kids are like this! It will make you smile =]

Friday-

http://www.cheri-chesley.com/2012/11/spread-word-contest-now-open.html

I’m still spreading the word!!
This morning wasn’t too bad I texted with some friends and watched more Bones episodes. Had a pretty good breakfast and then threw it up like 2 hours later. Ugh
But other than that I got ready for the day and came to work.
Not much happening at work, go figure. Just going to watch some TV shows and eat food the usual.
After work we might go to Desert Book for their 20% off sale just to look around. Then probably just cleaning up the house a little bit. Then preparing chili for our chili cook-off thing tomorrow at church. 
Saturday we might do a double date with Andrew and the chili cook-off
Sunday just church and laundry

Pregnancy-
Sometimes I feel like what’s the point of eating if you’re just going to throw it up anyways. I got sick yesterday like twice but I felt like a bird regurgitating food for her baby there was like NO liquid which is weird because I am always drinking while I’m eating. Anyways then I got sick this morning like 2 hours after I ate breakfast and it was pretty much my whole meal. Lame sauce! Then my body is all hungry and I’m like then why did you throw up the food that I gave you. Jeez
Other than those moments I’ve been pretty good not too much to complain about.

Countdown-

1 day until 12 weeks
5 days until Thanksgiving in California
47 days until Squirt’s gender is reveled!
197 days until Squirt’s due date!

Disney on Ice

Wednesday evening-
After work I headed over to Spencer’s work. I could NOT open the car door from the inside which is a dilemma sense the automatic lock button doesn’t work and there is no lock tab thing to automatically unlock. So I had to climb over to the other door to open that one. This car is having fun making me upset. When I finally got out of the car I waited in the lobby until Spencer was done with work. Then we headed over to Subway for some dinner. Then we walked over to the Energy Solutions Arena for Disney on Ice: 100 years of Magic! We bought some Cotton Candy and had some pretty good seats =]
There was this cute little boy who was maybe 2 sitting in front of us and he just did the cutest things and he sat very still! Then there was this big guy that sat next to us and he was by himself maybe 50 years old or so and he was falling asleep and I was just wondering why are you here? Maybe he is a big fan but I was curious.
I didn’t really take any pictures except two because it’s hard when they are always moving. They didn’t have Princess Aurora which I thought was kind of weird. They all did pretty good though. They had each Disney couple dance to their main love song one right after the other and I almost started to tear up because it was so beautiful. 
Afterwards we headed home and just relaxed and got ready for bed.
I missed The X Factor performances BUT I watched clips so I will kind of give you my opinion. This was Diva Theme Week.

Arin- Crazy for you, they are making a whole love thing with him and one of the girls from fifth harmony, oh joy! He has a great voice but I’m still not feeling it. I liked what LA said, he didn’t feel Goosebumps.
Beatrice- Time after time, she can’t sing as high of notes as a lot of the others but I still think she has a great soulful sound and I’d be sad to see her leave.
Tate- From This Moment, such a pure voice, he can bring tears to your eyes. What a man!
Carly Rose- My Heart Will Go On, her gowns lately have been amazing! For 13 she has such an amazing voice.
Diamond- Halo, I’m so glad they brought her back she is just amazing and such beautiful vocals.
Jennel- Big Wheels Keep on Turning, she is just such a rock star!
CeCe- All By Myself, I was looking forward to this performance because she was just going to stand there for once and sing and not be doing way too much at once. But her vocals disappointed me but she looked more like herself for once. I’m tired of the too fierce look.
Fifth Harmony- Hero, They are getting better I will admit that but I don’t see their amazing friendship lasting for very long but I could be wrong. They are defiantly some that sing better than the others so sometimes it doesn’t mesh very well.
Paige- Last dance, her outfit was weird. Vocally I don’t think she did very well with the song she was given.
Lyric 145- ET (from Katy Perry) mixed with we will rock you, they used to be really good but they’ve slowly been declining and they are performing their normal stuff. They were rude to Demi though. Simon kept saying they only had a few hours to perform, well then why did you change the song at midnight and give them less time?  I would be okay if they went home.
Emblem3- No One, I just think they are great. I was surprised that they were #6 last time, but I think they do pretty good every week.
Vino- Stay Together, He can sing and he might win but he just doesn’t have it in my opinion. Seems like a very nice guy though.

Thursday-
This morning wasn’t too bad but I felt sick on and off. I watched Bones episodes while I slowly ate some food and got ready for the day. I’m just very glad tomorrow is Friday! Other than that I’m at work and a lot of people are in a meeting and that’s about it. Just kicking back and watching my TV shows!
Now just plan on posting a lot for this http://www.cheri-chesley.com/2012/11/spread-word-contest-now-open.html contest!! I would like to be the #1 winner, so I will be posting it until the 19^th when the contest ends!
Tonight is a double elimination on The X Factor!!!! Ahh Other than that I will be cleaning and doing dishes probably.

Pregnancy-
So I’m not surprised that I’m easily annoyed by things that come with pregnancy. Meaning people’s opinion’s I just didn’t think it would start so soon. I just am probably going to stop posting Squirt’s heartbeat on Facebook because people keep saying Squirt is a girl based on a heartbeat. 1. That old wives tale is NOT true and I’m tired of people saying Squirt is a girl. If you think Squirt is a girl that is fine, I wouldn’t mind if Squirt was a girl but being that it’s my body and my baby I feel Squirt is a boy. I’m perfectly happy with either gender but NO one has said Squirt is a boy and I’m tired of hearing girl, girl, girl! THE OLD WIVES TALE IS NOT TRUE so PLEASE stop guessing the gender based on the heartbeat. I’m going to snap and maybe I already have. But I feel sad that there are something’s I can’t announce on Facebook because emotional I will go crazy from the comments. If you don’t agree with me that’s fine but this is how I’m feeling right now.

What it looked like before it all started

the ending of the show =]

Countdown-

2 days until 12 weeks
6 days until Thanksgiving in California
48 days until Squirt’s gender is reveled!
198 days until Squirt’s due date!

Squirt's heartbeat

Tuesday evening-
After work I went home and ate dinner and then watched TV, lots of TV. Afterwards I realized I probably should have taken a walk. So later when Spencer got home and ate we decided to take a walk. It was cold outside but really nice and I enjoyed it. Other than that we really didn’t do too much, he massaged my left shoulder for a little bit because I have knots again so that was nice of him.

Wednesday-
This morning wasn’t too bad a little rough because I didn’t really want any food really. But I made it through and got ready for my OBGYN appointment (which got pushed back to10:15) I will tell you more about this appointment in the pregnancy section. Afterwards I headed over to work where nothing much at all is going on like normal. I just plan on reading up on some blood work they want to test if I decide to do them. Then just watching some TV shows that are probably going to make me cry.
Now just plan on posting a lot for this http://www.cheri-chesley.com/2012/11/spread-word-contest-now-open.html contest!! I would like to be the #1 winner, so I will be posting it until the 19^th when the contest ends!
Tonight we are going to see Disney on Ice: 100 years of Magic!!! I’m pretty excited and I hope we get some cotton candy for the show =]

Pregnancy-
I heard Squirt’s heartbeat today! =] It was 160 beats per minute which is normal for all babies at this stage. It sounded really amazing and I wish Spencer could have been there but that’s okay. Just like a chugging sound, I should have recorded it. Darn it. Other than that everything is pretty normal. My next appointment is on December 12^th and then he said January 2^nd is probably when we will find out the gender! If not I’m for sure scheduled on January 3^rd to know. Around Christmas time I will start letting people guess if Squirt’s a boy or girl if they would like. I won’t have any rewards for you though.

Countdown-

3 days until 12 weeks
7 days until Thanksgiving in California
49 days until Squirt’s gender is reveled!
199 days until Squirt’s due date!

Headaches

Monday evening-
After work I was still feeling pretty good. I ate some dinner and then did ALL the dishes. I always feel better when they are done but doing them is just so hard.  Then I put away the laundry and we relaxed and watched some shows on Netflix for a little while.

Tuesday-
I have some crazy dreams but not like pregnancy crazy or scary just interesting. That make me think back in my life on random people I used to know. I ate my breakfast and watched Bones episodes, I need a break from Greys Anatomy (but I’m almost done with that). Then this morning I took my time getting ready and did not do make up or anything because I didn’t feel like it. Now at work I just updated my LinkedIn account and found some more connections. Now just plan on posting a lot for this http://www.cheri-chesley.com/2012/11/spread-word-contest-now-open.html contest!! I would like to be the #1 winner, so I will be posting it until the 19^th when the contest ends!
Then just going to watch some TV shows on Hulu like always for now. After work Spencer has class so I will clean up a little but other than that I don’t have any plans going on.

Pregnancy-
I’m starting to get the lightheaded and headaches that come with the increase in blood volume I have now. I have to constantly remind myself to not stand up so fast lol I also need to start stretching my body out a little more. I have a lot of knots in my back and neck which is my fault in how I sit all the time. I have another OBGYN appointment tomorrow morning, hopefully we will hear the heartbeat =]

Countdown-

4 days until 12 weeks
8 days until Thanksgiving in California
200 days until Squirt’s due date!

11 Weeks- Fig/Lime

Friday evening-
After work we went to Smith’s for a few things and a Red box movie; Arthur Christmas. Then we went to Little Ceasar’s Pizza for dinner, yummy. Arthur Christmas was a fairly cute movie. We then played Phase 10. Spencer went to read a book while I watched a Jessie episode.

Saturday-
Still snowing…. But still a fairly good morning. I went to Toni’s baby shower for a little bit. Then my family came in to town and we went to the church to set up the decorations. I got to see a few more rooms in the church to get to know my way around a little better. Then the guys got Pizza Hut pizza for us for lunch. Then we waited for people to come. There were about 10 or so total people there. We had a lot of fun we played about 3 games and everyone got to win a prize. Afterwards we put everything away and went our separate ways. Spencer and I ate and watched the movie Ghost and watched a few other things. At one point I was sleeping so Spencer walked to Smith’s to drop off the movie and I took a short nap on the couch. Then we played games on Neopet.com! haha reminds me of the good old days. Then we slowly got ready for bed. 

Sunday-
Not such a fantastic morning… it is NOT okay for me to have yogurt in the middle of the night or the morning. Because it will just make me feel sick and I will throw it up. Then usually I’m fine and eat food but I started eating something and had to get sick again. Well Spencer was home for this one, which is fine but weird because he’s never seen me sick before. Now it’s done and over with. I slowly got ready for church and I drank lots of different liquids before I had anymore food. We only stayed for sacrament because I don’t think I could make it any longer than that. Then we went home and watched A Brand New Year while I slowly ate food. Then we headed out to Tooele to hang out with family. Cache & J and Spencer played outside in the snow. I tried to find a video tape of old friends but I couldn’t find it anywhere. We had some good meals, yummy and great candy! Mallorie & Cache left around 2pm and we did our laundry. Jessica & J left around 6pm. We stayed and talked for a little while and then decided to head out around 7:30pm…. But our car didn’t start. Lol My dad tried to see if there was any juice in the battery… nothing so we took it out and put in the one from Salty and it worked. But he was going to charge the old battery he put in Salty from our car to see if it did have juice but it was too cold. Then we were on our way back to Salt Lake. We had some food and watched a TV show I think. Then I was going to do the dishes and decided not to. (Put it off until Monday)

Monday-
Kelly Clarkson’s Catch My Breath Music Video, LOVE IT!
http://www.vevo.com/watch/kelly-clarkson/catch-my-breath/GBE431200086
I felt fairly good this morning after a little while I didn’t feel as fantastic but I kept up my attitude. I watched my TV shows while I ate breakfast. Then I decided to get ready a little earlier than usual and actually straighten my hair and do my make up! I’m going to regret the make up later because that means I’m going to have to take it off before bed. Lol
But I fell pretty well this morning. I didn’t have to brush the car off because it hasn’t snowed for awhile! =] On a random note there is one part of my body that is almost ALWAYS twitching, it’s just annoying.
At work it seems like a fairly low key day today. I might just color in my coloring books and watch a few shows here and there.
After work I plan to go home and do the dishes & put away all of our clean laundry. Not sure if I’m up for making something for dinner and if I am I have no idea what I will make.

Advent Christmas countdown!!! I"m so excited for December 1st

Pregnancy-
Week 11- Squirt is the size of a fig/lime. Squirt just keeps on growing and so does my excitement! Some day’s I forget I’m pregnant because no one can tell and besides having some bad days I don’t feel that much different right now. Squirt also is kicking and stretching right now…. Too bad I can’t feel it yet. I’m still waiting to Pop, which means for the uterus to pop up and so I will have this very small bump which still probably won’t be noticed by others.

Countdown-

5 days until 12 weeks
9 days until Thanksgiving in California
201 days until Squirt’s due date!

Top 12 again

Thursday evening-
I got upset at someone over the phone at work…. I don’t think they realized I got upset but I still hope I can control my pregnancy hormones when it comes to those annoying phone calls. I don’t seem to cry when I’m emotional I get angry… oops.
When I got home I ate some food and watched my shows until The X Factor results were on!!! They had One Direction perform two songs. Basically they call out the 11 that made it through (in no particular order) and then the bottom two have to do a sing off. The bottom two were Cece (I’m glad people agree with me on her) and Jason. And then the judges say who they want to send home, and if it’s a tie then whoever got the least American votes gets sent home. Jason got sent home.
Then they show you the results and what order American voted everyone. I was very surprised and some of the results
1- Tate (the country singer. He is really good but I didn’t think he’d be number 1)
2- Carly Rose (doesn’t surprise me at all because everyone seems to love her)
3- Vino (his last performance was his best but I really don’t like him and was surprised he was one of the top 3, personally I think it’s because all these military people are voting for him because he sings for them)
4- Diamond (she rocked it I’m glad they brought her back)
5- Fifth Harmony (their last performance was better but thought they would be a little lower)
6- Emblem3 (shocker! Because everyone seems to love their energy, so I was VERY surprised at this)
7- Jennel (I was surprised I think she is a great rock star and is amazing, so hopefully she will get higher next time)
8- Paige (doesn’t surprise me that she is low, she is good but just not the best)
9- Lyric 145 (I’m a little surprised because I think they get the crowd but sometimes it’s hard to vote for a rapper group when everyone else is really good)
10- Beatrice (this makes me sad because I think she is amazing)
11- Arin (not surprised at all, I thought it was crazy that Britney picked him over Diamond. He is good but just not someone I remember which I’ve said a lot. I guess he was on The X Factor last year and only made it to the top 12 I think.)
12- CeCe (not surprising to me, she just isn’t doing well vocal wise in my opinion and then her performances are kind of over the top. If people don’t like someone they don’t like someone and there is only so much you can do)
Afterwards my relief society president and I think the first counselor came over to visit and get to know me a little bit. They are really nice people and I’m glad I am able to get to know them and be in their ward.
Then Spencer came home and we watched a Dirty Jobs episode.


Friday-
It’s Friday! It is snowing….but oh well. At least I got to wear my fuzzy warm vest and boots! Today would have been a good day to stay home from work though and just stay inside a nice warm house. This morning I watched some TV and ate my honey nut cheerios with extra honey because there is not enough honey in them. Then I got ready for the day.
After work I need to get a few things from the store and then probably walk to a lady’s house to get the church keys for tomorrow. Then maybe have some hot chocolate and watch a movie.
Saturday is Stephanie’s baby shower, it should be fun I’m excited!
Sunday after church we will be going out to Tooele because Cache & Mallorie will be there and so will J and Jessica. There is something I need from our old family tapes too. Hopefully I can get some photography tips from my dad and Mallorie for my upcoming family photo shoot.

Pregnancy-
A pretty darn good morning. Except I woke up at 4:30 to use the bathroom and didn’t get back to sleep until 6am. Part of which was because water wasn’t stopping my hungry so I had to get up and eat something.

it's kind of hard to tell but this tree has leaves growing out ALL over it, even at the trunk. We walk by it on the way to church

it's sideways but i still am SO proud of the first Yearbook page that I did. I just fall asleep dreaming about this idea and it came together beautifully. I just love it!!!

Countdown-

8 days until 12 weeks
12 days until Thanksgiving in California
204 days until Squirt’s due date!

Top 13

Wednesday evening-
Before I left work I got a call from my dentist and because I left them a great review they are sending me a $25 visa gift card. That is so sweet of them!
I got home and made yummy tuna casserole for dinner. Spencer and I had a really good conversation about taxes and money and for once I understood most of what we were talking about. I felt like an adult for once in our conversation. We watched a few short DreamWorks mini episodes. Then the X Factor was on.  So this is going to be an update on The X Factor =] I got to vote this time!! I starred the ones I voted for.

Demi’s group- She gets picked on A LOT by Simon, which can get annoying sometimes. But she is around my age so I agree with most of what she does and says. I think she is a great mentor for her group.

Paige- To be honest I didn’t vote for her. For once she sang really well and it was beautiful but she isn’t what I am looking for in a new singer.

*Jennel- I love her! I think the way Demi styled her is amazing but Simon keeps saying it’s not her. But it’s totally a rock and roll look and she is rock and roll! Anyways she did amazing as always!

CeCe- I don’t really like her. And her vocals never seem to be just right. I just really hope she get’s voted off. No offense to Demi but I will never get over CeCe’s attitude. She can sing but every performance lately she hasn’t hit the notes very well.

Simon’s group- He has been fairly nice but he just keeps being mean to Demi and it’s driving me crazy!

*Emblem 3- They do amazing as always, I just always remember their performance. One of them wrote a song and sang it on YouTube and it’s about Demi. (I just saw this from Twitter it was on the show). So who knows maybe she might date one of them, and that could work.

*Lyric145- They are always awesome, their performance was interesting as always and not my favorite of all time but still pretty good.

Fifth Harmony (previously known at 1432 & Lylas)- Hopefully they will finally stick with this name. Usually I’m disappointed in them but they actually did fairly well this time. They sang more than 2 words together at the same time. They always take their turns but part of being a group is harmonizing and singing together which they rarely do. I thought it was great for once but I still don’t love the group.

L.A.’s group- He really got stuck with a not so amazing group.

Vino- I’m not sure why he loves this guy. For once his performance was amazing and I didn’t think he was yelling but I still don’t think he’s got the X factor. He is a great guy but he isn’t what I think their looking for.

*Tate- Oh I love this guy. He is a true country singer and you can feel the words he sings to you. He is such a sweet hearted man.

Jason- He can sing but I just don’t feel he has the X Factor either.

Britney’s group- They brought back Diamond!!! Thank heavens because she was amazing and did not need to be sent home. =]

Arin- He is okay but I don’t ever remember him. He can sing but it just doesn’t hit me. It might hit the teens though.

*Beatrice- For having some messed up vocals she did amazing! And I feel what she sings too. She is just awesome

*Diamond- Yay she is back! I didn’t like her outfit but other than that she sang good as always. A Whitney Houston song of course!

*Carly Rose- She is amazing as always too! And I’m glad they let her just stand and sing because it was great. She sang good last time but the Britney style way isn’t Carly. And I LOVED her outfit!

Anyways it was a pretty darn good show!
Afterwards Spencer and I relaxed for a little; he did the dishes which was really nice! Then he went and read his book and I listened to my old CD’s, good times! And I remember almost every word to the songs too! I stayed up until 11, probably shouldn’t but I loved the music!

Thursday-
This morning I got up and watched my TV shows like normal and ate my cheerios with honey. I don’t necessarily like having that for breakfast but I’m sick of crackers and the cheerios seem semi appetizing.  Then I got ready for work and here I am. There isn’t much going on but just probably going to watch some of my TV shows today and research a few things.
Afterwards I will go home and watch The X Factor and see the people or person that gets sent home!
Then my new relief society president is coming over to visit with me and get to know me a little better. Then Spencer comes home!!! =]

Pregnancy-
I’ve been feeling pretty good this morning too. You know I kept hearing ALL about these horror stories of terrible morning sickness. And I know that they are all true and I feel really bad for those who have gotten sick or are STILL sick in their pregnancy. But I am VERY grateful that I’m one of the lucky ones. Nauseous is what I mainly had but vomiting is sucky too. I didn’t feel really bad until maybe around 7 weeks. Then between that and I’m almost at 11 weeks I’ve only gotten sick about 6 times. And most of the time it made me feel better not worse. I really don’t want to seem like I’m bragging I’m just very grateful that this one has gone very well. Now I have been starting to get tired around 3pm which is kind of hard at work but I pull through it.


Countdown-

9 days until 12 weeks
13 days until Thanksgiving in California
205 days until Squirt’s due date!

Election Day

If you voted for Obama and like Obama you might not like this post but my mood is ALL over the place. So if you don’t like my post DON’T comment because it’s my own opinion and I don’t feel like fighting with someone over it.

Tuesday evening-
I cleaned the house and got everything fixed while I put the Presidential voting on TV in the background. Now this is going to be A LOT of back and forth because I am a hormonal pregnant woman. At first I was so upset that Obama was voted president for a second term but after awhile I got tired of so many people bashing on him.
I voted so the way I felt was if the person I voted for didn’t win it was like I had put the wrong answer on the test. I know that sounds funny but that’s kind of how it felt. Romney was always 10 or more above Obama for quite some time. I wasn’t too worried but then I started to get worried. They would guess on how things were going what states each were probably going to get and Obama was going to get a lot more.
My opinion is 1 popular vote SHOULD count now a days and 2 we shouldn’t do 270 anymore it should be until ALL votes are counted! That might take awhile but if we don’t do it that way then I see it as not all voted really count. It almost makes me not want to vote again. And at one point they gave Ohio to them but when they said that Romney was actually winning Ohio and then just bam Obama is reelected. Which fine whatever but what if Romney had ended up getting 270 or more too but because Obama got it first he just gets it all! But that’s not how it should work. I also don’t think they ended up telling us who won Florida, Virginia, or Colorado which isn’t fair because you need to finish the count and it’s almost like their vote didn’t even count! It just really upsets me. It probably wouldn’t as much if I hadn’t voted but I HAD to go vote. Man was it so close for awhile.
NOW people keep bashing on Obama. I don’t know enough about what he has done that’s bad or the things he is planning on doing but he is our president so deal with it. It’s rude to bash on him because he is a person like everyone else and he has a BIG job to do and honestly I don’t think anyone is fit to be the president of the United States. I liked what some people were saying that our real President is our Prophet or in general God. God has a plan and apparently this was part of the plan so deal with it and be the best you can for God’s judgment.
Now I did always say that if you voted you did have a right to complain or be upset because you did your part. Right now it seems like there is too much complaining and I’m about ready to punch someone that’s how annoying it is.
I’m just glad it is over and we will do what we need to these next 4 years and I don’t think we are going to die because Obama was reelected so chill! Sigh I think that’s all I wanted to say, I needed to let it all out somewhere! Man what a night I was almost in tears and I didn’t think I was going to be that upset over Romney winning.
I also had a MAJOR headache that was just killing me and I can’t take anything for that so I just drank water and put a rice pack on my forehead.

Wednesday-
I watched my TV shows this morning and ate my breakfast. Now just at work not doing a whole lot. Spencer was sweet and wrote me a note saying he is doing dishes tonight. Yay what a great man =]
Other than that it’s The X Factor and I will be able to vote for my favorites tonight! =] Woot Woot

Pregnancy-
I felt pretty darn good this morning and that is about all that has happened lol


Countdown-

10 days until 12 weeks
14 days until Thanksgiving in California
206 days until Squirt’s due date!

I voted

Monday evening-
After work we decided to go to Wal-Mart to get a few more groceries like bread, and fruit. I ran into my friend Cynthia so we chatted for a little bit. Then we headed home and made ourselves some dinner. While eating dinner we watched Dirty Jobs & Psych. Then I finally finished editing the engagement pictures and had them ready to send out for Tuesday. I really hope they like them. Then I slowly ate more before getting ready for bedtime!

Tuesday-
I heard that there were going to be long lines when going to vote. So I tried to get up and give myself enough time to get there. I got there at 9:00am, left at 9:05am. There wasn’t a line at ALL at my location. I voted for Mitt Romeny for President, and this is the only place that I’m saying that because I do not want to start some debate with anyone.
It was my first time voting so that was really exciting! There are LOTS of other people you vote for, for other things and I just clicked all Rep. because I felt bad if I just left them blank but then felt bad that I voted without knowing if they were good people. But oh well the president is more important. Then I got my sticker!
I had time so I went home and watched my TV shows! =] Other than that it’s a fairly nice day outside today. Love it! =]
Our voicemail’s finally work so everything is going smoothly so far. After work I plan to go home and clean up the house and then I guess watch some TV shows.
I wish I knew who my favorite actors/actress and singers voted for. Now some tweeted who they were voting for but the one’s I want to know haven’t said anything.
I’m just SUPER antsy waiting for tonight to know who our President will be for the next 4 years! Now that I’m old enough and understand a little bit, I just hope it’s not too late or I will get pretty sleepy. Whatever happens happens so I will accept what President will be chosen because there isn’t much you can do about it if you did your part and voted.

Pregnancy-
I got sick today and that’s about it.

Countdown-

11 days until 12 weeks
15 days until Thanksgiving in California
207 days until Squirt’s due date!

10 weeks- Prune/kumquat

Friday evening-
At home we had steak for dinner and watched some Dirty Jobs. And we watched other shows too… not much happened Friday besides TV lol

Saturday-
I dropped off my toothpaste prescription at Walgreens then headed to Provo. The GPS had me take exit 267 and then made me go back on and take 263. (Not the correct numbers but I can’t remember now). My GPS must have been lost for a little bit. I went to meet up with my friend Julia. We went to Arby’s to have lunch and talk. Her little daughter Lexi is adorable! She copies your facial expressions and then will throw back her head and just laugh. And she was dancing on the seat and said woof woof when she saw a dog in a car. She was just a hoot. Then we dropped her off to see her Grandma and Julia & I walked around the mall to just talk and kill time. It seems like forever since we’ve been in High School together. She is an awesome friend though and we had a pretty good conversation. Then I headed back home and Spencer and I were going to go to a corn maze. Then I decided not to because I didn’t want to go all the way out there if it was just the haunted corn maze. I don’t want to have to pay to be scared. So instead we decided to get some Subway and go to Megaplex at Gateway to watch Wreck it Ralph. It was a pretty darn good movie! I didn’t get everything because I don’t know all of the video games but it was pretty cute. I love the name Vanellope from the movie but sadly I probably won’t ever use it for a daughter. Even though I think it’s really cute. Vanellope Isabella Peacock… VIP lol
Then we came home and I did the dishes and cleaned up a little bit.

Sunday-
I felt a little sick this morning but thankfully I made it through and we got to church on time. Our fast and testimony meeting was really nice, we have some great people in our ward. I can’t wait to get to know more of them. Then we headed to Sunday school, to be honest it’s so hard to pay attention when I’m used to playing with nursery kids. It will take me some time to finally focus better. Then we had relief society and I sat by Michelle. Ever since we have been at this new ward she has looked SO familiar to me. So we decided to try and figure out how we knew each other. We still haven’t figured it out. I did go to school with her cousin Rachel but I know I don’t know her through Rachel. I think maybe I used to see her walk to church with her family while I was walking to church on the other side of the street. That’s the only thing I can think of. She is really nice though so hopefully we will get to know each other more.
After church we hurried home and I tried to eat some food. Then we headed to Jessica’s. Spencer & I played some games with Jerimiah. Then a little later we had some sour cream & ranch chicken I think is what it was called and lemon rice. Then we finished up our laundry and headed to the Tanner’s. We were able to sit and talk with them and then have some chocolate pie for a dessert. Then we headed home and tried to finish up a few things before bedtime.

Monday-
I slept in this morning because I could. I’ve realized that when I get up to go to the bathroom if I just drink some water I don’t feel as hungry/sick in the morning. I had a dream about cotton candy, it sounds so yummy. I just finished watching Ice Princess, and some Grey’s Anatomy this morning while I got ready for the day.
At work our voicemail’s aren’t working so if someone doesn’t pick up their phone it gets transferred back to me. But it hasn’t been too big of a problem because I just watch the phone. If I see so and so didn’t pick up them I’m ready for that person when it gets sent back to me. And so far everyone has understood. Joe had a birthday so we got yummy cupcakes today. Now just fixing up some pictures, and watching a few videos I’ve been meaning to see. I can’t believe I already finished watching all 6 seasons of yes, dear on YouTube.
After work hopefully we can go to the store and buy a few things that I need to have food for work.

Pregnancy-
Week 10- Squirt is the size of a prune/kumquat or 1 ½ inches long! I’m ¼ of the way through my pregnancy.
Weekends I never seem to throw up and it could be because I slowly give myself enough time to get ready or I so badly don’t want Spencer to see me get sick that I won’t let it happen. I know he is my husband but that doesn’t mean he HAS to see me throw up. Anyways lately I’ve been doing fairly well in the mornings though so I think the nausea is slowly starting to go away but I still have my afternoon moments if I don’t get food in my stomach right away then it’s hard to slowly eat food. I might have written this before but I’m not sure. I think I crave in a way fruity candy. Jelly beans, skittles, cotton candy. I’ve gotten these all from my dreams and I don’t want them ALL the time but they always sound pretty good.

these are a few pictures of our new ward.... i didn't take these pictures.

Countdown-

12 days until 12 weeks

1432 was called lylas: They had to fight for their spot in the top 12 and they won…. They did the song skyscraper which is Demi Lovato’s song and I kind of worried that they wouldn’t do well. Personally I still think they don’t sing as a group. They just take their turns singing and NEVER sing together, that’s not a group in my opinion. And Demi said they did it so much better but no one can sing that song better than Demi. And they are changing their group name AGAIN… people are voting for it so I don’t know what it is now.

*Emblem3: They moved on to the top 12

Judge L.A. Reid-

David Correy: He had to fight for his spot in the top 12 and he lost

Vino: He moved on to the top 12… I personally don’t like his singer but whatever we will now live that up to America to vote next week.

*Tate: He moved on to the top 12

Jason: He had to fight for his spot in the top 12 and he won

After the X factor I did the dishes and we watched a Dirty Job episode. We didn’t go to bed until 11pm… bad idea but I needed to eat food so it took awhile to feel full enough to sleep comfortably.

Friday-
This morning I did fairly well. I didn’t feel too sick which was really nice. I watched a few of my shows and got ready for today. It’s Friday! I wrote my friend Stephanie who is on a mission and fixed up a few journal things. Then I started putting a few things together for my sister’s baby shower. Now at work I have LOTS of papers to fold… which I will just do while watching my shows probably.
After work I probably will go on an evening walk with Spencer but other than that not too much planned.

Pregnancy-
Nothing much today

Countdown-

15 days until 12 weeks
19 days until Thanksgiving in California
211 days until Squirt’s due date!

November is here

Wednesday evening-
After work we had spaghetti for dinner and watched Dirty Jobs. The X Factor is supposably live but people were tweeting about it before it was on for me. Now it’s pretty good live but I have some complaints. 1. Khloe is a host and she needed a bra! 2. The audience was WAY too loud you could barely hear some people sing and the judges had to yell in their microphones to speak. 3. The performances, not all but most were VERY flashy and distracting to the singer. I’m hoping that most of these things will be fixed by tonight and or next week. Now I’m going to list the performers and my thoughts. I feel the audience claps at EVERYTHING and screams at EVERYTHING. That gets annoying really fast.

Judge Demi Lovato- she dyed her hair back to brownish black, and she looks almost exactly like she did when she was 16/17 years old. I like it but I was just starting to LOVE her long blonde hair. She changed her group’s style A LOT.

Paige: Demi made her bald! And she was performing and dressed like Lady Gaga! It was a performance I won’t forget but I didn’t like it and her singing was okay.

*Jennel: Demi made her look a lot like she looks now lol Jennel does very well, she has great attitude on stage. She is just amazing and did fantastic!

CeCe: Demi made her dye her hair blonde…. Now I’ve never liked CeCe because she has this terrible attitude. She was dressed weird and her makeup was weird. I personally won’t vote for her. Her vocals were not very good at all, she has sung better than that. It was WAY too flashy and her dancing was just too sexual.

Willie Jones: He is country but he just isn’t really country to me. He can sing some of the parts very well but he is just not country to me but that’s what he sings.

Judge Britney Spears- She gave her people songs I didn’t think went with the people very well. I feel she is making them someone they aren’t.

Arin: He can sing pretty well but he seemed distracted and kind of stiff. (Which it is their first live performance on stage)

*Diamond: She sings very well, and I love her personality. She could of done a little better but for the most part she did very well! She is just adorable.

*Beatrice: She has an incredible voice; I didn’t like the song Britney picked for her. She did okay with the song but it’s just not her style. She is punk and rocker not romantic and quite.

*Carly Rose: she is AMAIZING an always, but I did not like the style that Britney had her dress up in. It’s not her and made her seem uncomfortable and not having fun.

Judge Simon Cowell- His groups weren’t too bad but I did feel some could do a lot better.

Sister C: They sing very well but it’s just not enough.

Lyric 145: They work very well together but it was WAY too flashy for me. But I remembered it and they did very well. Now I did not think their outfits matched so that just personally annoyed me lol They sing amazing though just not my type of music.

1432 was called lylas: They could be amazing! But they just don’t feed off each other very well. Their performance at the judge’s homes was A LOT better than last nights. They just aren’t good at making a song their own.

*Emblem3: They were fantastic! They do very well at making a song their own without it sounding weird. They always say their not a boy band but they are no matter what they say. They are very beachy styled though.

Judge L.A. Reid- He is an interesting person and he didn’t even want the group he was given. And personally they didn’t do so well in my opinion.

David Correy: It wasn’t too flashy which was good but the vocals weren’t amazing.

Vino: He has a voice style that is very different form the others. It was okay but it’s too scratchy for me.

*Tate: Now he is country and he sings great on his own, he doesn’t need dancers. And that’s what I love about his singing.

Jason: His vocals are not bad. He had his pink glitter he always wanted but the dancers were gross. He is fun to watch and listen too but I don’t think I would vote for him.

Thursday-
It’s so weird how a song can take you back to a memory; sometimes it can be annoying if the memory is not a good one. This morning was okay…. I did get sick but I knew that was probably going to happen. This time I didn’t feel a lot better afterwards. It does make it harder to then get up and ready to go to work. And I feel like none of the food we have ever sounds good to take to work OR it’s frozen type and I couldn’t keep it cold enough at work until I needed it. Today is going to be a long day because if I don’t have enough food then I usually feel super sick and it makes for a bad day. But we are crossing our fingers that it will be okay.
It is a pretty nice fall day outside but looking a little depressing. At work it was slow until I got here now I have all this paperwork to do and lots of people are coming into the lobby for people. It probably will die down again though.
After work I plan on cleaning the house a little (depending on how I’m feeling) and watching The X Factor!!!

Pregnancy-
Today is one of those days where I think “This is going to be a LONG pregnancy”. And I don’t even have it as bad as some people but man I’m just having one of those days.

Countdown-

16 days until 12 weeks
20 days until Thanksgiving in California
212 days until Squirt’s due date!
