Bed Rest

Well, I knew it was inevitable with my special history of pregnancy, but I am officially on bed rest now. On Monday I got a betemethazine shot to help develop the babies lungs early. The only side effect to this shot is that your blood sugar increases a lot. Well, the reason this is a problem is because I was already borderline with having gestational diabetes. So, I had to start testing my blood. Well on Monday night I tested it and it was way to high. I wanted to do a kick count for the baby because she hadn't been moving that well, but because my blood sugar was too high I couldn't have any juice to make the baby get moving into action.

So I called the hospital and they said to come in. Well, as soon as I went in I actually went into labor. I was in labor from 9:00pm until 6:45am. I know the exact time because that is when I finally fell asleep. After we were able to stop it I was dialated to a 3. Well, They made me stay there for the whole next day to watch the contractions and my blood sugar. Tuesday night I started contracting again, but we were able to stop it in an hour. There are more boring details, but to cut the story I am now home on bedrest with bathroom priviliges. "Privileges" thanks doc! I am just taking medication to help my blood sugar and the contractions for another week and a half and then he will just let the baby come if she decides its time. So... if you are bored I am home, lets hang out!

Most recent happenings...

I am on the verge of going insane from being pregnant. I am so grateful to be pregnant, don't get me wrong, but it gets harder and harder with each pregnancy. If you are one of those women that feel amazing your whole pregnancy you can just stop reading my blog because we are no longer friends.

There has not been too many exciting things that have happened lately, mostly because I don't have the energy to make anything happen. Logan and I go to the aquarium at least once a week and I consider that a great accomplishment right now.

When Lord of the Dance was in town I took my parents and my cute Grandpa to see it. Why you might ask? Well my grandpa has always wanted me to join River Dance, so when I heard they were coming here I had to take him. I asked Bry if this was cool and he said he would pay for everyone and for dinner if he didn't have to go. Well, it was amazing and my grandpa hasn't stopped talking about it. Thanks Babe.



We have also been going to a couple Flash games because my beautiful sister, Natalie, dances for them. Logan loves going because he gets popcorn.



I also have an adorable friend, Jenn, that gave me a baby shower. It was the cutest baby shower ever! She is just one of those people who is good at doing cute things like this. I feel pretty special having such a talented friend... especially one that is willing to throw parties for me. Thanks Jen!


One other thing that I have been loving lately, no thanks to you Erin, is the D.I. Erin has the cutest dressed children in our ward. Well, one night we got to talking and she told me she bought almost all of her clothes at the D. I. So I decided to go and try it out, it was so fun. I don't think it is for everyone, but if you are a bargain shopper and you don't mind going through racks I highly recommend it. I haven't ventured anywhere but the kids section, but I have found some pretty amazing stuff that might have been worn a couple times. Just bring it home and send it through my 3 hour "stain wash" cycle and vwhala... you have name brand amazing clothes for dirt cheap. I actually don't know if this is a good thing that I am loving this because I can see how I could be obsessive... either way, thanks Erin for the revelation.

Here is a cute picture of Logan with his little friend, Annie. Logan is at the fun age where he LOVES playing with is friends. He asks me everyone morning if he can go to their houses to play.

Church Time-outs


Bry took this picture with his phone while Logan was in time out during church. When we take him out from sacrament meeting he has to sit on a high stack of chairs so he can't get down. Then when he is ready to get down he can come back into sacrament meeting. I just love this kid. Seriously... You can't be mad at him long when he is so stinkin' cute!

My hubby!




Well, it’s official…my fabulous hubby is old now (well, not really he is just 30). As I have been thinking about this birthday I wanted him to know how much I loved and appreciated him so I thought of 30 things that I love about him. This was actually really hard to do for me because I had to narrow it down to just 30. So here you go Bry… I love you.

I love…

1- How much Logan worships him and wants to be exactly like him.

2- How freakin’ hot he is. Those beautiful blue eyes and that tight sexy butt. Yep! he’s all mine.

3- How a fun size Butterfinger can cure and disagreement.

4- How much he loves talking about his mission and how much he knows about the gospel.

5- How he can fix or build ANYTHING!

6- How he is good at all sports and loves teaching Logan.

7- How he loves to serve others anonymously

8- How safe he makes me feel.

9- How he can’t go through a day without calling me.

10- How hard he works to provide for our family.

11- How fascinated he is in learning new things. How he remembers pretty much everything he learns I will never understand?

12- How he makes me feel when he really kisses me. You know what I am talking about ladies!

13- How easily he makes friends.

14- How much he loves his family especially his parents.

15- How tough he is…. So if he cries I absolutely lose it. I can count on one hand how many times he has cried since we have been married and each time it has meant the world to me.

16- How he fulfills and always has fulfilled his church callings to the best of his ability.

17- How he is such a good driver. (Once again, I always feel safe with him) He can pull, back up, and drive anything. One of his dream jobs is to be a stunt car driver.

18- How I find little “boxes of wonders” all over the house.

19- How he will serve himself a tiny portion at dinner so he can go back for seconds and then tell me how good dinner is.

20- How contagious his laugh is and how me laughs at all my stupid jokes.

21- How the gifts he gives me never cease to surprise me.

22- How he loves to write down goals and has me do it with him.

23- How he sees the bigger perspective on situations that are challenging

24- How he will buy me a treat or dinner any time I ask especially when I am pregnant.

25- How he lets me have time for myself whenever I need it.

26- How he is obsessed with being organized with most things, but he can’t seem to keep his clothes off the bedroom floor.

27- How much he loves my cookies.

28- How all kids just flock to him. He can make any kid stop crying. He is so easy to love.

29- How he has an obsessive personality. Once he starts liking something he wants to do that all the time.

30- How much he loves going to the temple and how lucky I feel to know I get to spend eternity with this amazing person.

I love you babe! Happy Birthday!

Zoo Lights


As I said below, Bry was M.I.A on New Year's Eve because he went to the sugar bowl. Logan and I weren't going to let that ruin our night so we went to zoo lights with my family and then to my brothers house to play games, watch movies, and eat good food. Zoo lights was cold, but so fun. We are probably going to go every year now! My sis, steph is came to help me with my blog today. I learned how to do these collages. Look at me now... no hands!

Sugar Bowl







Bry and 9 other guys packed into a motor home and drove to New Orleans to watch the Utes in the Sugar Bowl. It was a crazy vacation, but he had a fun time. Of course he was happy to be there when the Utes had a sweet victory. It's nice to have him home! Go Utes!
