I had a funny conversation with the hubby last night. He made the comment that ever since I had "found out" that I was pregnant, that I was acting different. Insinuating that I was being different on purpose. I had to laugh. Yea, I am faking being exhausted all the time and I am faking bigger boobs too!

I keep thinking of Chroniclers comment about how now the waiting begins. I have never been good at waiting. This part takes so long. I wish I would be like Cookie and deliver a healthy baby in 2 months! So far so good though. I am not sick yet. Normally, I am sick the whole time. I do feel really tired most of the time and I have to force myself to get on the treadmill (which I am doing pretty good at, by the way) I can't sleep the whole night through and I pee alot but other than those things, I feel great.

I would say that the only things that are really different is that I have no problem saying what I really think and I can't stand my big dogs. I can't take their dirty, smelly selves around me.

We get our taxes done today. That is always a big adventure. When you have your own business, tax day is always a day of fasting and prayer! We always pray that we won't have to pay anything!

It has been so sunny and beautiful lately. I am so ready for summer and swimming and being FAT! There is nothing more exciting than throwing on the swim suit and running for the pool. My kids love it and so do I. We have a really great community pool here. There are slides for the little kids, a big water slide for big people and it has a huge sloping area for toddlers and a big deep end for the brave of heart! My problem is that all 4 of my kids usually want to be in a different part of the pool all at the same time!

I got my hair done the other day. Nothing better than feeling beautiful. So off I go to get beautiful for the day!

Good News

OK! I can't take it any more! It is not possible for me to keep my big mouth shut! I have nothing I want to write about but this!

I am having a baby!!!

It's official! We were going to wait a little longer before I announced it but I can't ! I have never been about to wait!

I started to think there was something wrong with me at first because I felt so tired. I couldn't run the length and time I usually do, I felt tired all the time and I had to pee constantly. I thought I was sick.

When I was late, I decided to take a test to be sure but I KNEW it would be negative. It always is. Well folks, it was a positive! Bry is as excited as I am. I was nervous to tell him because we had talked about it and he wasn't all for it but he knew we weren't using protection so I am not all to blame! It takes two! He was really happy though. I think there is this stigma now days that if you act like you want a big family, you are looked down on. I almost feel like I have to act like it's a surprise!

Well, it's not! I wanted this baby! I knew I was supposed to have him. I had an experience about 5 months ago where this feeling came to me that I would get pregnant and it would be a boy and I was even told what I should name him. After that, I got my IUD out but nothing happened. I was so sure of my message that I was flabbergasted that I didn't get pregnant right away. I started to think I had made it all up. It is hard getting used to the fact that our time is not the Lord's time. I always expect things to happen immediately when I get messages like these.

Anyway, we are thrilled. It's all I think about. That means it will feel like forever until he is born.

For Mom

Yesterday was the 12th anniversary of my mom's death. Weird that it has been that long and yet it seems like yesterday that we were together.

It's funny now to me how alike we are. Back in the olden days when someone said I was just like mom, I would take it as an insult. Now that I am am a little older, a mother myself, I can see what an amazing woman she really was.

She didn't get much credit as there were a lot of family problems with my dad's violet temper at the time. She would get blamed and we believed it. There is a lot more to the story as there always is but how I wish I could know her as an adult.

My 2 older sisters had that privilege. I wish we could spend time now getting to know each other. we never got along when we were together. I don't know why but I felt like she was too nit picky and perfectionistic. She was a pure blue, and so I guess she was a perfectionist!

She was born May 15, 1935. Actually, that is not true! She was raised to believe her birthday was the 15th but when she was older and needed a copy of her birth certificate, it said she had been born on the 16th! She couldn't believe her mom would get it wrong. It bothered her the rest of her life!

She was chosen valedictorian at the U of U but was too sick to do it. She was amazing. She had brown hair that was thin and would never do what she wanted. She had no talent in putting on makeup or picking out cute clothes. We would tease her about it and she was such a good sport. She would wear those terrible polyester pants with the elastic waistband and seam down the front! Even then, they were ugly!

She had light blue eyes. The same color and blue quartz. She had wide hips and no boobs. Just like her daughters! Why did she had to pass on that trait? She loved music but didn't have a lot of talent in that area but that didn't stop her! She would sing at the top of her voice and dance around the room. I take it back. She did have a wonderful talent where music is concerned. She was a wonderful ball room dancer and my parents did a lot of that!

She would turn up polka music full blast to wake us up on Saturday mornings. That used to drive my crazy. Now it makes me cry. I would give anything for her to do that now.

To all you people out there who have a mother that drives you crazy, interferes in your life, bosses you around and still treats you like a child, call that wild woman up today ant tell her how much you love her. It may be too late one day.
