Baby thoughts

In regards to the new article in the Ensign,I will do my best to avoid complaining and posting embarrassing baby pictures of our child. But...
Why doesn't my baby like root beer or candy??? Does this mean I have to eat healthy?? My poor mother and my poor sister Chris have already received phone calls with me asking them what my diet should be. Can I eat farm eggs?? Can I drink hot hot drinks (herbal tea, which I'm drinking right now, and its so blah, I'll have to put a gallon of honey in to make it yummy) and my mom over heard me asking for fries with my happy meal instead of apple wedges. SHAME ON ME. But, I'm way to embarrassed to call up my nurse and ask her these things cause she will just call me an uneducated fool:)
I've been so lucky to not be sick (throwing up) but when my body wants to feel sick I feel like life is over. Mad props to my husband who keeps me kickin, otherwise I would just spend my days in bed sleeping and wishing pregnancy was just a cute belly with no weight gain or headaches. Not to mention to the nightly trips to the bathroom and the 14 year old break outs that happen.
Its all part of being a mom, and if this is all I have to do to receive the blessing of children then bring it on!
I think I'll give it another month then I will start shopping for baby's room. We're lucky to have some pretty Fancy used baby stores around here, so we are going to hit those up. If you have any ideas for some baby room ideas let us know! We don't know the baby's sex, but when we do, its go time with the pinks or the blues!

BABY NATION

Its baby nation in our neck of the woods! We're having a little baby April 21st!! Things have been going well with the pregnancy. Haven't been sick, just always feeling like I'm about to be sick, and suuuuuper sleepy. Had the first ultrasound and the Dr said everything looks amazing, and said the baby was showing off while we were looking at it:) So far no cravings until someone says something about a happy meal, jamba juice or pickles. I've been doing my best with ignoring those cravings and sticking to eating at home, but I've given in a few times...OK a lot of times:) I've been walking almost daily minus the days when Im to sleepy to move. In the mean time Hyrum and I are trying to get ready for this business both mentally and spiritually. Any advice, we'll take it!

Oh happy day!

As of yesterday Hyrum and I have been married for 2 years! Hurray for us! Hyrum let me sleep in and took me to go see UP (such a cute movie, cried at a cartoon). Afterwards we went outside and sat on the porch in our rocking chairs, those chairs are my most favorite place in the whole wide world:) While sitting there Hyrum and I went over our timeline of our 2 years of marriage. Here are a few things we covered within 2 years-
-Got married in the temple
-honeymooned and had the time of our lives!
-Moved into a basement apt that had a yard!
-Hyrum went to UVU
-I did hair while Hyrum worked at a western apparel store
-Took a break from hair and worked for Dish Net
-Hyrum changed his major twice
-I cooked some nasty experimental cassarols
-Family vacations
-Hyrum traveled the greater area looking for a firefighting job (at times we never thought it would happen)
-We do a triathalon sprint together (and with the Jordan family)
-Hyrum becomes an EMT
-YAY!!!! Hyrum got a job with North Ada County Fire and rescue!
-Move to Boise,ID
-Watched seasons of 24 throughout the winter
-Bought a house!
-Got another dog
-Plenty more where that came from!
May not seem like a lot to some people but its been a great journy and we have had so much fun while figuring everything out! After we went over our 2 years Hyrum took me out to Tempenyaki (maybe thats how you spell it) and had some very yummy food. I love those places, they are soooo fun!
I love being married to Hyrum he always makes me smile!
