* Reading the scriptures this morning (I have a new goal to finish the Book of Mormon by the end of the year) I realized I'm a wuss. I read today how Nephi's wife and the wives bore children in the wilderness eating raw meat! I about gagged on my Carnation Instant Breakfast drink at the thought of chowing down raw meat for every meal. And then it says how they had plenty of suck for their children who were growing healthy and strong so they did not complain! What?! I need to reign in my complaining a little more I guess because I know I really have it good.
* Michael has added an additional job to his list of future "what I will be when I grow up". He now wants to be a farmer (because they get to drive tractors all the time), a missionary, AND NOW: a garbage man (because they get to drive big trucks). I'm glad he has so many hopes and dreams.
* Marie Calendar's cheesy chicken pot pie is disgusting! I was so frustrated with dinner last night. :( I don't think I realized they were cheesy when I bought them but I was sorely disappointed in something that looked so yummy. Bummer!
* I used to be really quick at putting my hair in velcro rollers. After this morning I realize that is no longer the case. However, I love the way my hair feels after those instead of a flat iron every day so I guess I need to practice more. Oh and who would've thought that now with short hair, I can't wait until it's grown out to at least my shoulders. I swear I'm bipolar with my hair.
* I love, love, love the rain! I only wish I could stay home on these days though. I would put on my sweats, fix a bowl of cream of wheat, and sit down to watch Serendipity or You've Got Mail or While You Were Sleeping. Perfect movies for this time of year.
* For the first time, I'm not sure what clothing size Michael is in. I bought him 5T stuff at OshKosh that ended up being HUGE! But his 4T jeans are getting a little too short but I'm still having to cinch the inside elastic and buttons a little. What's the next step?
* I'm way happier when my house is cleaner. I'm less stressed and in a better mood. I've always known this but it was recently reaffirmed since I finally cleaned a lot of it over the weekend.
* I've started feeling like I don't know what is going on in the world because I don't watch the news. So the last week or so I've been reading on KSL.com to stay updated. After reading about all the unfortunate news, I've learned that I don't think I mind not being informed on current news. I rarely can find any uplifting articles to read.

I could probably relate to just about all of those things!! Deegan brought home a picture from pre-school a while ago that said "when I grow up I want to drive a garbage truck". His latest ambition is that when he is 5 he wont need to go to school because he is going to go to work with his dad and drive the concrete mixer!
This morning I told Adam that I REALLY am tired of my short hair and can't wait for it to be long.. Guess we'll do it together! (We'll see how long I hold out before I chop it again!)
Hope you're staring to feel better!
Congrats on being preggo!! Sound like were due about the same time, except im way showing cuz its my fifth. I havent been on here forever and I have been thinking about you for some reason. Now I know why.
That picture is beautiful Em.
from my experience...the belly bands are useless. They just slip down and fit weird. Maybe you could make it to the right specifications but I don't know what that would be. I would vote for larger camis. Maternity ones are weird fitting anyway. I just bought a size bigger on my camis...stretched them out over the 9 months and put them back in the maternity box for next time!
Good luck. oh and ps...
can I come watch movies with you?!
Mims I started writing you a comment and decided hey I've got time I'll e-mail you my thoughts, so check your e-mail. Love you love your fam love the blog and LOVE that your preggers!
