18 weeks-Sweet potato/bell pepper

Friday evening-
We ended up closing up work around 3pm which kind of surprised me since I wasn’t expecting it. Once I got home Spencer was doing a lot better! For the most part we just relaxed while we both were recuperating from our sicknesses. We watched Eureka and played Disney Scene it. I had swollen ankles again but I think I only get swollen ankles when I wear socks so I’ve been trying not to do that which isn’t too hard. Then we headed to be around 930.

Saturday-
Week 18! We slept in until 9am! We slowly got ready and then headed over to Smith’s to get a few items for the New Year. Then we headed home and cleaned up the house a little here and there. Then a little later we walked to the closer Smith’s to get some salad and got the games Sorry! Then we played the game and Bop it! Then we watched even more Eureka and I played some games on my phone. We were just kind of lazy butts today. I was considering taking a photography class offered at this one place and it would be like 5 classes for 2 hours or something and only like 65 bucks which isn’t bad since I’m doing photography on the side it would be nice to learn a little more and review.

Sunday-
Spencer and I got up and headed over to church. We had some pretty good speakers and enjoyed the morning. I then headed to nursery where we had about 9 or 10 kids and 6 leaders, I love having a lot of leaders! The kids behaved pretty well for the most part. We just played and did our normal music and lesson. After church I was supposed to get set apart but the 2^nd counselor wasn’t there so it didn’t happen for the 3^rd time. Spencer and I went home to eat lunch and then cleaned up the house a little. Then around 3 his parents arrived. We got a few treats from Christmas, yay! Then we relaxed and talked for a little while. Then we made Chicken Pot Pie for dinner and some Chocolate pudding pie and talked until that was all ready. After dinner they watched a few of the cartoon movies like The Hobbit. Then Karen dyed my hair (now I did my research and it is okay to dye your hair during pregnancy at certain times and certain ways so don’t tell me I just hurt my baby). So it now is a dark brown and turned out pretty well, I’m very happy with it! Then we all played a game and then headed to bed around 10 or so.

Monday-
In the morning we all got up and ready and headed out to Cabela’s to get a few things and then looked around a few other places. Then we headed to The Garden at the Joseph Smith Building to have lunch. Sadly I barely at my food but it was good and I was just already too full. But we did get some fried pickles, yummy! Then we walked around temple square a little and went to City Creek to show my in-laws around and we got some caramel apples and then went to Desert Books where we got a few books. Afterwards we then headed back to the house where we rented The Kid (Disney movie); I love it and was laughing the whole time besides a few sad parts. Then we watched a few other things here and there. Then we played some games and later we got out some snacks and watched more shows and played more games while we killed the time. We all went to bed around 1030 or 11, we were just exhausted.

Tuesday-
Happy New Year 2013! It didn’t feel any different and of course we didn’t stay up until midnight but it’s nice to have a new year and Spencer and I are pretty excited for a few new things coming up. 1. My work is moving buildings 2. We will have our cute little baby 3. We will move out to Tooele to live with my parents
In the morning the in-laws headed back to California. I was sad to see them live but it was nice that they got to stay with us for a little while. Then Spencer and I kind of were lazy for a little while. Then we got ready and watched some shows until around 2 when Daniel and Kristen came over and we had banana splits! Yummy!! We all talked for a little while then they headed out. Spencer and I then went to Wal-mart & Target to see if we could find any cool puzzles or Lego things to buy to build but no such luck. Then we went to Village Inn for dinner. I’ve never had really bad food from them but their service SUCKS! Our waiter guy came by to drop off my soup, then our food with our receipt, and brought us ranch like we asked but then we NEVER saw him again. And our waters were empty and I was SUPER thirsty so we plan on doing a survey to tell them they need to improve their services. But other than that the food wasn’t bad and eventually we asked someone else to bring us a box and more water. Then we went home and played a few games and mainly relaxed for the rest of the day. We’ve been watching the Eureka TV show on Netflix and we’ve gotten pretty far during the break.

Wednesday-
I’ve been getting up around 4 or 5 HUNGRY so I get an orange, sit in front of the heater than try to go back to bed. This morning my nose just was so stuffy and runny and I could not for the life of me get back to sleep. So right now I’m a little cranky and tired but for the most part I’m okay. I then headed to the laundry mat to do some laundry. I used the scentsy laundry stuff and it smells pretty good but its hard cuz I can’t smell that well today. I have to remember number 19 doesn’t dry very well AT ALL. Then I hurried home and took a shower and straightened my hair and put on make up, I’ve been feeling a lot better to the point where I should get back in the habit of doing something with myself. And I jammed out to some music and got ready for work. Now that I’m at work of course I have a headache coming on… I blame it on work! 4 ¼ more hours until Spencer and I head over to the doctors office to check on my uterus and baby squirt. I really hope everything is okay and that we are able to see if our baby is a girl or boy. Then we will go pick out our first gender outfit for Squirt and tell everyone else! Then I have to do the dishes.

Pregnancy-
Week 18 Squirt is the size of a sweet potato/bell pepper! This also makes my pregnancy at the beginning of 5 months. I feel huge but I’m really not too big. But I sure can feel my skin stretching because it’s not used to going out this big. But I am trying to drink at least 4 bottle waters a day to keep me better hydrated and I’m slowly getting better at it.

Month 5 belly (i should of taken an above picture too)

Happy January 1st 2013
