Eating Update

Good news...eating is making its comeback and I am so excited!

I had Mexican food 3 days in a row last week and ate an entire bag of Sea Salt & Vinegar chips on Saturday.

The chips were so good that I left for work a little early this morning so I could stop and get another bag. Of course they were completely out of them, and that was the saddest thing that happened to me all day.

Here is Thor...enjoying his time on the couch.
Trigger is starting to get jealous, he want's some couch time too!
So he starts the brawl....

Now he edges Thor off the couch...

He gave up so easily this time.

Side Note: I know this couch is totally disgusting looking, but my dogs love it. I try to cover it up, but they always undo my covering...so we just let them have it. We never let people sit on it or go near it, so don't worry, we won't make you sit on it if you come visit.

What to eat...

I am pretty pathetic lately...I come home from work and promptly change into my pajamas. Then I scavenge the house for something to eat...all day long seems like...I have absolutely HATED the whole eating thing lately. Nothing ever sounds good and so it's completely un-satisfying. And if I don't eat, I will pay for it.

Anyways, what did you eat when you were pregnant? I need some ideas. Popcorn was fantastic for about a week and now I can hardly look at it anymore...the same with Teddy Grahms, Saltines, and Goldfish crackers.

"It's about time!"

So you know how I have (until the other day) been on a blogging break?

Well there is actually a reason for it...I have been really sick the last month or so.

Anywho, I feel kind of stupid announcing this on my blog, but I am about 11 weeks pregnant. We have been waiting until we went to the doctor to start telling. We got to hear the hearbeat and even got to see the little baby moving around in there. It was totally weird, but very cool...Jon and I have both felt like it wasn't really real yet, but that seemed to make it sink in a little more.

So now you know.

Yesterday, I told one of my BFF, Chelsea, and she said something to the effect of, "It's about time" which made me laugh so that's why it gets to be the title.

And of course I will be happy with either Boy or Girl, but if I had my choice I'd say Girl...just so we can play dress-up. OH--and right now my due date is Aug. 18th, so I'll get to experience being 9 months pregnant in the dead of summer-yay!

The Favorite Child

So I'm posting about my dogs again. You can stop reading now if you want.

Sometimes I favor one dog over the other. This worries me because what if when Jon & I have kids I favored one over the other?

The Vet asked me once if I liked one of my dogs more than the other and I told her I did and I felt bad about it. She told me not to worry because sometimes she felt the same way about her kids. She said she loved them both so much, but one of her kids was just easier than the other so she at times felt like she favored him more than the difficult one.

Thor

Trigger

Anywho, lately I have come to the conclusion that I don't necessarily have a favorite, I just like different dogs for different things, make sense? Haha. Thor is not as hyper as Trigger, but Trigger is sweeter than Thor...

Hahaha. Don't worry, I'm laughing at me too. I just needed some words to go with my pictures.

2 Spoiled Dogs...I love how Trigger thinks it's okay to be laying all over my pillows.

Silly Silly Bo-Billy

A week or two a go 2 of my Sisters-in-law (or is it sister-in-laws?--I think I did it right the first time) and JJ my nephew came down for the weekend. He is quite the silly little guy these days. Jessica has him picture-trained...every time a camera comes out he looks at you, squints his eyes, and says cheeeeeeeeeese.

Like this....


And he also knows that cell phones can take pictures...so here he is taking a picture of himself with a cell phone...

Then I told him to lay down on the ground and put his hands under his chin...which of course doesn't translate very well to an almost-two-year-old so this is what we got. Haha.


So then Jessica tried to help...


Hahaha. And that didn't really work so Holly came down and showed him how to do it...



Then we sang song after song after song after song...and danced and danced and daced, played ring around the rosies until we couldn't fall down any more and then it was off to bed.


Also, I'm teaching Relief Society on Sunday and I am looking for a topic to speak on...any suggestions?

I am not doing so well on the blogging thing...

Wow...I have been really horrible about blogging lately...and I was hoping to have met 100 Posts by Christmas... hahahaha. I think I just have really bad bloggers block?

Oh well.

Hopefully something exciting will happen soon and I can fill you all in...
