LOVE

I love my babies! I am starting to feel more and more of a connection to the tiny life growing inside of me and have that same love I had for Aaron when I was expecting him. It is hard to feel like I am "really" pregnant at the very beginning of pregnancy when I can't see or feel the baby, the risk of miscarriage is so much higher (making it more stressful/scary) and I feel so incredibly sick, exhausted and aweful. I don't know if I am on the tail end of morning sickness (let's hope) but I have been feeling a lot better the last few days and am hoping that the beginning of last week was one last puking hurrah. Anyway, I have recently been feeling so excited about the new little person I'm carrying! I love being a Mom so completely and enjoy my Aaron boy so much. I can't wait to share that love with another child. Recently Aaron has been so hilarious. It seems to be one of his major daily goals to crack me up, and he is very good at it. For example, today in the car I hear, "Mommy?" and turn around to see him with his winter beannie pulled over his face and then he pulls it up revealing a huge expectant grin, like, "I knew this would surprise you!" And it did. I laughed so hard and he repeated it over and over. He is such a happy kid pretty much all the time, it's really amazing. His joy for life is infectious and I am so grateful for his sweet, fun personality.





Today was a good day because:


-I got to hear our baby's heart beat at our 12 week check-up.


-We got to eat dinner and lunch with Jon and spend some time with him!


-I got an A on my second test this week.


-Aaron and I visited with our downstairs neighbors.


-We went to Barnes and Noble as a family.


-I took a cat nap while Aaron napped.


-My nausea didn't lead to worse nausea or throwing up!


-We have the gospel and know that our family is eternal, that makes it a good day :).


-Jeannie sent me a good idea for a Halloween costume.


-I got to chat with Melissa on the phone and they will be living in Utah soon!!!
