Third trimester

Pregnancy is by far the weirdest thing I've ever experienced! Every week something is different and everything is considered "normal" haha. But this third trimester the nausea has gotten worse again, I haven't been puking much, but I do take my nausea meds most if not all days. I'm so achey, ny ribs and back kill and apparently my kidneys are pretty swollen as well. And I'm so incredibly thirsty!!! Can't wait for the end of the pregnancy to come and meet our little angel!

Crafty creations

So lately I've been making lots of bows, hairclips and bow ties. They are so dang cute! I sell them to make some side money, ever little bit helps right? Everytime I make a new one I am tempted to keep it for our little baby though! I love making crafts, I wish I had the money to make wreaths, curtains, home decor, and all sorts of things! I seriously love doing that!

Koki

So we officially have another dog. Her name is Koki. It's sort of crazy, but she is actually my old dog before I was married and lived at my moms. My mom was moving and gave her to my sister n laws friends. I was upset because I wanted to keep her but Logan and I weren't sure where we would be living so we couldn't do it. The family decided they didn't want her anymore (I have NO idea why) so we took her back. Logan and I love her, she is darling and so well behaved and kiwi loves her little buddy!

Pregnancy, Moving and Craziness

I haven't posted in a long time, Ill do my best to remember what has happened. First off we moved!!! Such a relief on so many levels, no more crappy stairs i get to fall down, no more weird smell, no more stupid landlords who can't even wave to me, no more one bedroom, no more yucky carpet. Yahoo! So on to the new place, before we moved in it was in scary condition and needed a lot of work we worked out a deal and we ended up doing the work on the house, which is nice because we can do it how we wanted it. So we ripped out all the carpet, took off the popcorn ceiling, spackled, primed and painted everything. the originally colors were a lovely green, pink and blue and did I mention these were very bright colors. oh also when we moved in they had left a cat here! awesome, don't worry logan trapped him, well he actually caught him haha.

Being Pregnant Lately

I feel so happy, excited, and blessed to be pregnant! Sometimes I have to remind myself that. I'm doing much much better than I was but I still throw up every once in awhile. I had to go to the dermatologist apparently I got pregnancy induced mild eczema. My Sciatic nerve is a pain in the butt. Literally. Still doing the IV's, they save me! We found out that we are having a GIRL!!! We are so excited! At first my craving was salad, then apples, then the strongest one so far was oranges. I ate a few every single day. I think the next one is going to be strawberries. I also have some random cravings like nacho cheese, snow cones, watermelon, frozen yogurt, and chocolate. I finally have gained weight! Weird that i'm excited about that. I will 20 weeks in just a few days. I feel our little girl kick all the time, ahh I love it. It is seriously the best feeling and now I can feel her kick if I put my hand on my stomach, but she is shy apparently. Everytime I put my hand on there she stops, i've only felt it with my hand once. I want Logan to feel her!! SO crazy what pregnancy does to your body, emotions and everything else! I'm just enjoying being pregnant the best I can! :)

Glamour.. ha

This pregnancy thing isn't as fun as it may sound, the baby is doing great but mama has been pretty sick. All I can say is I still can't believe how literally everything in and on your body changes so much! It really is quite amazing though, it is so cool seeing how the baby changes so quickly. I'm 13 weeks along. Our baby is now a boy or a girl, most of the organs have formed fully (they just have to get bigger), our baby has teeth buds in the gums, fingernails, arms, legs and is forming hair follicles. AMAZING. But I have had some interesting experiences. First of puking so violently and hard that I literally peed my pants (more than once), embarrassing I know but it's just how it is. Going to the bathroom, while puking in a bag, and at the same time a horrible bloody nose. Yeah this happened twice in a matter of hours. Puking in the car countless times, so emotional, indecisive, stressed. i'm getting iv everyday with fluid, extra calories, and nausea medicine, it helps so I'm grateful for that.  But seeing the ultrasound makes me feel so much better. And can I just say i have the sweetest husband, whether he is holding my hair while i puke, getting me drinks or something to try to munch down, shampooing my hair for me, cleaning up my puke, you name it. That's LOVE!

Grandma's Funeral

  Logan and I went to my grandmother's funeral. it was so
      beautiful. They had a display of so many pictures of her, her
      wedding dress, a book of tons of pictures of wedding cakes
      she made and quilts she made. She was so extremely talented.
      Not to mention what an amazing women she was. She always put
      everyone else first. she especially loved caring for the
      elderly, sick and newly moved in neighbors. Granted being
      pregnant made me even more emotional and there were a few
      times I said to Logan "I'm going to loose my cool, I can't
      hold it together." But it was a beautiful day and I'm so
      grateful to be her grandchild. Hearing about her reminded me
      of how much I want to be like her. Another feeling I had
      during the funeral is how amazing the circle of life is.
      Looking at the little kids with smiles on their faces and
      thinking about our little one on the way made me remember how
      great life can be. 

Grandma Jan-12-2013

I have such fond memories of my grandma. Growing up she did
      so many things that I thought was so amazing! She was such a
      great baker, She made her famous caramel for us and now I
      make it. She taught me how to tie quilts, she was always
      quilting and most of the time the quilt was not for herself.
      She is the most selfish person I know. She loved having
      family around especially her grandkids. As much as it saddens
      me that she has passed on, I have comfort and peace knowing
      she is now with her creator and her body is healed from her
      long battle with Alzheimer's. Love you grandma! 

Pregnancy thoughts

Some of you may know but we were worried about not being able
 to conceive. I've had problems with ovarian cysts,
 endometriosis and hormone problems. So over a year ago, Logan
  and I went to my obgyn. He told us he wouldn't postpone
  trying for a baby if that's what we were wanting we thought
  and pondered about it and decided after a few months to go
  for it. So we tried for one year, I had even been on a
  fertility medication and even with that I never got a
  positive ovulation test. I didn't test like two or three
  months out of the year. Sometimes life is surprising! We
  couldn't be more excited about the baby! The timing is no
  ideal with Logan being is school, and me finishing school and
  still dirt poor, but we know things will work out and we will
  accept it with smiles on our faces (usually) :)

Pregnancy!

Wow let's just say this little baby is a miracle in our eyes and we cannot wait! We found out we were expecting the very beginning of December. We couldn't believe it actually happened so i took four different tests, i even tried different brands in case they were wrong! On Jan 8th we got to hear the heartbeat and see our little on for the first time. The heartbeat was really strong and a really good BPM.  It was such a cool experience! Needless to say it has been a long few weeks, feeling really sick. I got another IV drink today which always helps! Our due date is August 15th or 16th. 

Kiwi

We waited for this pup, for a long time. We met her mommy before she was even pregnant. We then followed her as she was pregnant and finally had the puppies. We could not wait, we had planned to get a dog since we got married and we finally did. She didn't even weigh a pound when we got her. She has done really good with potty training and is such a sweet dog. She keeps us company, especially if one of us isn't home.

Car Troubles

Logan and I decided to sale my car, so we just had one car left. He had a honda civic. It started having some problems, we took it to a mechanic, and put a lot of money and repairs into it. We went to California for his best friends wedding about a week later. By the time we got to cedar city our car overheated clear to the red zone and started steaming from the engine. Lovely, we didn't know that this was just the beginning. We took it to another mechanic, he put in a new radiator because our cap wouldn't make a seal. Our car broke down about every two hours, we would just have to pull over, put more fluid in the car, and wait for it to cool down. I thought my brain was going to explode, car troubles are sooooo stressful! We finally got to california 19 1/2 hours later! GAH. We took it to two mechanic and they both assured us that "nothing was wrong", we headed home and an hour later, we had the same problem. Our car broke down multiple times on our way home, but this time it only took us about 15 hours. I was ready to pay someone to take the car away. I thought maybe it would be oaky since we don't drive big distances, but everyday i drove to school it would over heat. We couldn't take the stress anymore, so we sold our car and decided to lease a new car. Wheeeew

Provo

Welcome to happy town! We moved to provo in April, Logan got accepted to go to BYU so we decided to move to provo so he didn't have to commute. My hair school has a school in salt lake and in orem, so I transferred, so that I didn't have to commute either. It was so nice to finally "be on our own"!

Valentines Day

Our first valentines as a married couple, we didn't do too much, but we still had fun spending time together. Logan got me beautiful flowers and I made him a candy sign.

Accidents

Logan was working for a construction company, they were installing a very heavy piece of metal, it fell and cut Logan's arm open. He called me and said hey, so I cut my arm open, i'm okay, but i'm going to the ER and then he had to go. Of course I panicked, not knowing how bad the cut was. I was running an errand and got lost, luckily I found the ER.

Christmas

Christmas is always one of our favorite times of year. We love the spirit of it, the food, the family, the decorations, the giving and gifts. This Christmas was a little crazy, I had just gotten home from Florida from my jaw surgery about 2 weeks before. So, I was still recovering and not feeling the best, at the time we were living at my moms place and i was unable to chew anything because of my jaw surgery. However, we had a great christmas filled with all these magical moments. We also had the honor of meeting on of our lifelong friend, Susan Martin (adam stayed with her family while he was at school in maine). We got to see our family, go to temple square and make fun treats!
