lol

So....I saw a link to this picture on the ksl comment board saying "this is how you catch the swine flu". Lol...and I think it's funny and wanted to share:)



On another note...Dr appt went fine. I gained 3 lbs thanks to the week Matt had at home:) My uterus is measuring 23 inches to the top which she said was fine. Baby's heartbeat was good. So it was gooood. So yea. Till the next time,

The cutting edge...

Well. I'm back. But things just keep happening that I feel I need to share with the WORLD! lol. Hopefully you read my last post about B taking his hair in his own hands...if not...stop now and read the previous post! Well I captured a memento of it today. Here it is...

If you can't see that awesome bald spot...get your eyes checked:) So that was his fun with scissors yesterday. Today...he decided to take out his awesome new scissor cutting ability on the quilt I brought back over to my MIL's to tie. Yes...that's correct...he hacked up my hard work! I'm not really sure how I would describe the emotions I felt all at once. But here is his handy work..

Katrina was too quick on helping me fix so this is the 'after' shot of the zigzag stitch to sew up the diagonal cut through all the layers...

Here we are looking at the mini lateral cuts...where we can assume the accused was practicing before he made the above blow...-sigh-

So, now we have a scarred blanket...and it's only been of use for 3 days. Amazing. And the accused plead "not wanting it because he wants his Dad". Interesting. So..."Dad" if your out there...this is your fault! :P

On another scissor note, I am fostering a dog until this weekend. Keep your sighs and head shakes to yourself please:) But she got a haircut...by a professional. And here she is..

And she likes playing fetch, lieing at my feet, and oh yes...sleeping in my bed! Which I really dont mind. Keeps me warm:) So..maybe we can have a quiet few days and I won't need to post. But I do have a Dr's appt tomorrow so...guess that's out of the question:) So till then,

Meg

wow im updating alot

So I'm here again:) Just to let you all know the excitemnet that is my life:) What'd I do today....alot actually. But mostly chores...youknow the boring stuff. But amidst doing my chores, my son grabbed the scissors from Matt's grooming kit and decided to cut his hair! I didn't catch on to this however until I was at the MIL's sewing and looked at his head. Asked him what happened and he said he used Dad's haircut. lol. I need to get a picture of it...meant to, but forgot. But i do have a video of him learning to ride his new "big boy Bike". So please enjoy. Excuse the annoying voice in the background:)

I also was able to sew up a kit I bought from Joanns. Mind you...I did cut and pina nd all that by myself. It wasn't all pre-done. I want to branch out and make other things. I actually really want to find a pattern tp make the baby nightgowns that just have elastic at the bottom...but I'm retarded when it comes to finding things on the internet. So if anyone is more blessed than I at finding free patterns...please forward them! So...anyway, heres the picture of my new project

Ok. I think I'm doen for this post. till then,

meg

big boy cont...more pics at bottom!

Well here is the much anticipated update on the bedroom:) B was able to sleep inhis new room last night and he did really well. He didn't even fall out...so that was good. I have to say I probably was more of a freak about it than him:) It felt lonely upstairs with him down. Matt and I went to bed and I kept talking about it and he's like...you know...I don't really want to think about it anymore. lol..solidifying my freakish worrying:) BUt he did well. I'm so proud of him, he really is turning into a fabulous young man. I was talking with my MIL about him and how he's grown in length and maturity in the week Matt was home. Crazyiness. We had an awesome time with Matt home. It was hard to see him go. He laughed at me and said, "what, you still get upset when I leave"? And then finished his comment with " well I guess when you stop getting upset is when it's a problem"...or something to that effect, I couldn't tell you, I closed the bathroom door so he wouldn't see my tears:) Anyway. Here are some pictures of the room and some other cute ones. Enjoy.

B's new quilt

Baby A's new room...eventually. with the quilt I made her:)

Big Boy happenings

Well I have to say this week hasn't gone by as fast as it usually does. Matt attributes that to all the work we have been doing and keeping ourselves busy. Whatever it is I'm glad. :) Today is our last work day. And It's a pretty busy one too. I was able to buy a wood twin bed for $50.00 off ksl.com so that was a highlight! We picked up the paint...a light blue to go with the quilt I'm making for his new big boy bed. So the point of all this is that we are painting today. The computer is now in or front living room and it looks quite nice I'd say. Matt put in cat 5 outlet for the internet and switched out the can in B's room to a ....as he so awesomely puts it "a boob light". lol. So as this is a work in progress I will post some pictures for you:) Oh and as a side note...baby A gave her Dad the pleasure of feeling her kick:) So that was pretty exciting:) Anyway...here are the pics...

half of the "boob" light

B "helping" :)

what we did with him when he had to be "done helping" lol...he's locked in...

Matt so clearly ecxited to be painting:)

Ok. so till I put up some more pictures....have a good saturday..we are:) lol

burn baaaaby burn

Oh the fun people can have when there is yard work to be done! Lol. It has been a productive day around here. Matt trimmed up the lawn with the push mower and weed wacker. I pulled up the jungle that was out back in our "garden" area. Mopped the floors, cleaned windows, vacuumed, laundry,(that I folded) washed the car, and we're still not done. Well....Matt's still not done. I'm just about pooped beyond belief:) But now it's dinner and I have to cook. -sigh- So here are some pictures from the days events.

Are these buds? like going to blossom this year buds?

Before the blaze of glory... :)

during the inferno :)

after.

our pretty lawn after a professionals touch:)

for my adoring fans.... :P

Ha! I'm alive. We are all alive and alot happier now that Matty has come home!!!!!!! He came in Friday morning and it has been great. B has really been having fun and is behaving better too. But maybe I just think so because I have someone to share the task with :) Kind of a quick post tonight. Just wanted to share a few pictures. The preggo one is of me today(saturday). And a few random of things growing in my yard. Enjoy!

100% a girl :D

Awesome ultrasound! I'm so pleased:) Seriously....I haven't stopped smiling:D They put everything I saw on a cd so...if I can figure it out you all can see her as well:) She measured in at 19w 5d, 11 oz and about 9 inches long. She was laying breach..obviously:) And she was folded in half! So her knees were up by her face and her arms were up and behind her head...lol. It was pretty funny. She yawned a couple of times and it was soooo cute! I am so relieved that everything checked out well and she is perfect:) It is amazing to me the technology in just 3 years from B to now. Anyway...I'm excited:) My diabetes is in pretty good control...I was down a pound at my last check-up and the Dr said that was perfectly fine. I feel good too. I'm proud of myself for maintaining and actually wearing jeans...they may be maternity but they sure aren't sweatpants:P So I am going to continue to figure out how to get my video on...so till then,
Meg


Well i figured it out! sorry about the trial version...i had to convert it...


this second video is the rest. the first 3-d is of her face and the thick thing in front is the umbilical cord. where the mouse is pointing. the second is a profile...its kind of hard to see...because it looks like she has a big hole in her head:) the third is another front pic...its quick, so look!

weekend

Wow. What a weekend! We had general conference and it was GREAT! I haven't had such a good session in.....well, I'm not sure I ever have:) I think it's in part because I am growing and realizing what I want out of life...both physical and spiritual. I'm not sure I can pick out one talk that was the best for me. Uchtdorf was great, Elder Oaks was great.
Elder Oaks was especially touching for me today because I had just gotten home from an in-between session walk with B, and on that walk I was going over in my head what I could do to better spend my time with him. Lol...I have a tendency in the evenings to rush through his bedtime because I generally have a tv show on....super lame...I know! And I've been feeling bad about it. So I re-commited myself to focusing more on time well spent with him because, I don't work, so what's my excuse?
So I felt good about my 'epiphany' and got him laid down for a nap just in time for second session, and Elder Oaks comes on and starts talking about self sacrifice. I was like...wow...Heavenly Father you....you amaze me. Elder Oaks used the scripture in Matthew that says "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
Needless to say I was more than inspired to want to do better. Tv doesn't matter. And with the way B and i have been going at it, maybe that's him telling me "hey Mom.....you suck right now, pay attention to me." So I am going to. I'll take Elder Uchtdorf's council and keep at my good habits:)
Whew...anyway:) Matt comes home in 11 days!!!!! We are so ready for that to happen. I have my super dooper ultrasound on Tuesday. I'm fairly excited for that. I also ...wait for it....lol, got registered fo rmy summer classes at Weber State. I know...can you believe it? I may actually go to school instead of just say I am:) I'm signed up for a math, english, and photography so far. Orientation is April 13th and I'll figure out what else I should take. Wow I'm a blabber. Ok, so till then.
