Traveling while pregnant

I was researching yesterday about traveling while pregnant and you just have to laugh. I read about keeping my feet propped up so that they don't swell on the flight. So, I took a look at my feet to see the "pre-flight" look, and my feet look like I took two trips last week. So, I'm not sure how much more swollen they can get. Also, it says to "drink plenty of water" on the flight to avoid blood clots or something like that. What a great idea!!! Let's have a pregnant woman drink lots of water where the bathroom is the size of a catbox and she can barely fit through the aisle as it is!!! Great advice!!! sheesh! :))))

108 Degrees

This has to be a joke. Someone must have hacked into weather.com because they knew I would be looking at the weather today in Vegas since David and I will be heading there in less than 24 hours. They say the high today is going to be ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT degrees!! Tell me that is a typo!!! 108 + 6 months pregnant = 125, right??? Oh my!! Hopefully we will spend most of the time inside!! Wish us luck!! Hopefully hiking in the Grand Canyon will be much cooler... no worries, I don't actually believe that!

My Mommy Birthday!

A Toy for Katelyn

We have been getting mostly cute clothes for Katelyn as gifts, but recently a dear friend of mine moved to Colorado, but didn't forget Katelyn before she left and got her this cute crib toy! I will miss her terribly (already do actually), but hopefully she'll come back and visit so Katelyn can thank her in person someday :)

I have a question

Do people really think that people that have gained weight don't notice it themselves? I mean, do you think they really need other people to point it out to them? Last night I went out and I ran into some friends that I haven't seen in a while (they are in their 80s, but I'm not sure if age has anything to do with it). One of the ladies says to me, "Hey Fatty". I couldn't believe it. Then the other guy thinks he's coming to my defense and says, "She's not fat, she's 'pleasantly plump'". I gasped and said, "Excuse me, the keyword here is "PREGNANT"!!!! I mean, sure I gained some extra weight, but I certainly don't need to be called out on it. Sheesh :) My many thanks to the other 99% of you that have been nothing but supportive and quiet :) HAHAHA!!!

More Presents

Last night we received some gifts from Aunt Patsy and Ruth. I'm not sure if you can tell how cute this outfit is from the picture, so you might have to click on it and take a closer look at the big picture :) The others are cute little books.

Testing

Well, David got a new assignment today at Church. I'll let him put it on his blog so as to not steal his thunder. http://davidpulver.blogspot.com/ I'm trying to be open to the idea of this new "opportunity", but I'll admit it isn't easy. I'm looking forward to seeing the many blessings that I'm sure will soon follow for his willingness to serve :)

Bragger Rights

I hope you never get sick of reading how wonderful my husband is, but I have to share this story. This morning I was called at 4:45 with a work problem. So, I got up and answered the phone, then went into the computer room, fixed it, and then came back to bed. When I got back to bed, David put his hand on my head and stroked a little bit like he was comforting me. It was so sweet. I took a moment to reflect on how happy I was to be married and to be married to such a compassionate man. Then later when we were talking (around 7:30) I was mentioning the call, and he said, "What call?". I said, "The call I got this morning from work." He said, "Wow, I must have slept right through it". I said, "No you didn't" and relayed to him the story of how sweet he was. He started laughing and said, "Man, I'm even good in my sleep!!!!". :)

You can't make this stuff up!

Ok, this really just happened, I'm not making this up. David doesn't like to watch scary/thriller movies, but I've been wanting to see the movie "When A Stranger Calls" for a long time, so I checked it out from the library and figured I would watch it by myself. No biggie right? And since David was home tonight watching one of his movies, I figured I would take the opportunity to watch it and then if I got too scared, I could just run and jump in his arms. So, there's a part in the movie where the girl is really scared and she hears the water running, so she goes upstairs where she thinks the housekeeper must be taking a shower, only to realize that the shower just happens to be running with no one in sight. Pretty freaky, eh? Well, anyway, I was getting a little scared, so I thought I would do some ironing and put some lights on. Well, I had been hearing water myself for a while, but I just figured it was the surround sound speakers that were behind me because it seemed like there were a lot of water scenes in the movie. Well, when I went to plug in the iron, I heard the water running much louder and not from the direction of the speakers, so I followed the sound and no joke..... the sink faucet in the guest bathroom was running... not "dripping", but RUNNING!!! I RAN into the bedroom and jumped in bed where David was and told him the story. He thought it was "funny". I did NOT!
