That's Life!

Life feels kind of crazy right now. I do homework all day Monday, go to work/lab/school on Tuesday, go to lab and do homework on Wednesday, Thursday it's work and school, and Friday is my catch up day. My goal for this semester is to not do homework on Saturdays. If I stay ahead like I should in the beginning of the week then that won't be a problem! So far though I haven't done very well with that. I feel like Koby's senioritis from last semester has come full force on me this semester even though I still have one more left after this one. :( I'm pretty excited about my classes this semester but it has been hard to get in the swing of things. I have to just keep reminding myself that when the semester is over then I'll only have about a month til my cute little baby comes!!

Speaking of which, she is doing really well! We had the ultrasound done at the doctor's office, you know the one where they measure everything and make sure everything is in its place, and everything looks great!! After the Dr told us it was a girl she kept saying, "She is just a perfect beautiful girl! She is just perfect!" I absolutely LOVE to watch the ultrasounds! At this visit she had the hiccups and looked like she was eating something! I have felt her move quite a bit, which is so reassuring! One night Kob and I were just laying in bed and if I pressed my stomach in a certain place I could feel her move so I had Kob put his hand there and he got to feel her too!! I was so happy that he finally got to feel her! He kept asking me when he would be able to and I kept saying not for a while (I thought). When I see people who don't see me on a daily or weekly basis they always say that I don't even look pregnant. I just keep thinking that they have to be blind because my stomach was NOT out this far before! I guess I should take that as a compliment, but I am having a hard time with it. I just want my stomach to pop out so everyone will just know! My back has been hurting for a while now so I have already started to sleep with a pillow between my legs and under my belly. Going from sitting for a long time to standing for a long time doesn't seem to do me any good. If anyone has some good suggestions I would gladly welcome them! :)


In the beginning of January Lindy and I went for a visit to see my new niece Kate Marcelle! She has captured my heart! I miss her so much!! It was so fun to see M'liss and Tim with her. Tim absolutely adores her and just can't get enough of her, which is so cute and sweet, except for when I wanted to hold her and he was, then it wasn't so sweet!! ;) It will be so fun to watch her grow and see who she turns out like-demanding like her mom or easy going like her dad!! :)Seeing Tim with Kate made me even more excited to see Koby with our sweet baby girl! I really am feeling so anxious to get her here even though I still have four months! We have either bought or been given some baby clothes and tonight we hung them up in the closet! I know it's not that big of a deal, but I'm so excited and they look so cute and tiny next to Koby's! :)




Koby was put back into the new Elder's quorum presidency as the 1st Counselor and I am still on the Enrichment Committee and the Sunbeam teacher! I have a fun but challenging group this year and today was the first day that the class was pretty organized and the kids stayed (for the most part) in their seats! I felt like I accomplished a lot! :) Our lease is up on our appartment in April so we aren't sure where we'll be before the baby comes, but we are excited for a change in scenery, well I am! Anyway, sorry for the long boring post, but now you don't have to wonder what's going on with us! ;)

Mandy! I am so excited to read your updates! It is so fun to remember what it was like when I was going through those firsts of being pregnant! I had TERRIBLE back pain at the point that you are at. I could not get comfortable anywhere. The thing that helped me the most was I made a little nest of king size pillows on our bed in a little circle, and let one of my sides be in the middle of it. Also, when your belly pops out and your baby comes forward you will feel better. I think that was about week 30 for me. Good luck! I am so excited to hear more!
