30 Weeks It's JUNE people! Which means only 2 months months to go. I really want this summer to be long and slow, but at the same time I want it to be August now! My goal of staying under 200 lbs is still looking pretty good. Although Carvers custard in AF might say other wise ;) My cravings are still sweets especially Ice Cream! A few days ago I had some acid reflux starting so I got back on the water train and it has gone away.  I've been going to the Splash Pad and it seems everyone is preggo so I don't feel so bad sporting the swimsuit. Peyton has been in this new little habit of dumping out things which I hate! Bending over has now become a joke. She also loves sitting on my lap when I'm sitting down and I've been trying to tell her there is a baby in my belly, but I don't think she gets it.  Houston is now 3 lbs today and a pretty good kicker. I just hope he doesn't go up in my ribs like Pey did oh that was so painful.  I've been trying...

Mothers Day Saturday we went and got my favorite breakfast Kneaders French Toast! Somehow I manage to weasel my presents out of Mike early and I did it again! One of my bffs got married a few days before Mothers Day. She wanted us all in pearls for her wedding. I didn't have any and figured I'd borrow my moms because she is a pearl queen. I spaced picking these up and realized I didn't have pearls the night before the wedding. I told Mike I have to wake up an hour early to go get them in PG. He poked his head around the corner and looked at me and said "NIKKI ARE YOU SERIOUS?" I thought he was mad, so I explained that he could stay and sleep and i'd pick him up on my way back. I thought he was upset about my forgetfulness which was weird because Mike never gets mad at me so I was worried. After a few huffs and puffs he says do you want one of your Mothers Day presents early? I just start laughing and said "you didn't!?" We both had a good ...

The last few weeks have been pretty wonderful. I can feel my self maturing is that weird?  Maybe not maturing, but changing. I feel like this happened when Peyton was born too. I can feel my testimony growing. I know it is constantly growing, but sometimes I can really feel it. Sharolee and I went to Womens conference at BYU. We heard some amazing speakers and I'm really glad I took notes. I'm not going to share all of it with you, but here are a two classes. You can see how different the range of education is. What a fun day to spend with my SIL and to learn more about Family, The Gosple, Relationships and Love. * One class we went to was about healthy eating and eating a home more. It is very import for the family to eat dinner together. Not only will it save you month, it's heathier, but when you kids are older they are less likely to get into trouble and confide in you more. *Another class was about trust and relationships. He talked about Johari's Wi...

26 Weeks Here we are again, four weeks have gone by. I am in an amazing mood today and so I figured I'd better blog about it! I was felling pretty bad about the 16lbs I put on in just one month and have been trying to cut back on my carb intake. I swear all of the yummy foods are carbs. I've never really cared about what I eat and have no idea how many calories is a lot and stuff like that, but I did look up to see what are bad carbs. I also have been drinking more water to help with the retaining of it. Kind of ironic don't you think.  Anyway back to my story of today. I have been asked to be a bridesmaid in Matt and Seantay's wedding on Aug. 16th. Yes that is one week from my due date. Today I went and got fitted for my dress. I was dreading this because no 6 almost 7 month prego wants to go be measured unless your crazy. I got there and the dress is perfect it hides my bump really well and is gorgeous. The girl that measured me kept saying how tiny I am that most w...

17 Months 1 more month until nursery! WAHOO! Church is awful, Peyton just wants to play or sleep and she can't do either so she is not a happy camper. A few things to note: When she gets out of the tub she says COLD about 20 times incase I didn't know that's she's cold. When we get into the car she says HOT 20 times incase I don't know it's hot. She also blows as if that will cool down the car :) She tells me play, outside, slide, oatmeal, taco, drink, water. She is putting two and three words together. Understand what those are is the trick. Yesterday Mike, Pey and I were driving and she kept saying. "I know this guy" Mike and I were like WHAT? After a few tries we finally figured out she was saying "I know the sky"so her sentences don't make sense most of the time, but she is just a little jabber jay. 17. 5 Months My little girl is now speaking in sentences. I wish she'd stop growing up. She now says "I want to/a........

Jan. 28th Mikes 26th Birthday! We laugh about how we met at 21 and 19 and now look at us! We celebrated by going out to a nice romantic dinner together, but the real family celebration was a few weeks later at Fridays and that is when we revealed our baby secret. Feb. 14th We were sick for a few days and just stayed home to die. It was the worst Mike and I have ever been. Peyton was sick and so with both of us down for the count and a hyper toddler. I made a promise to myself that I will call MiMi or Grandma for some backup. We did celebrate a few days later just Mike and I. We went up to Flemmings the best steakhouse ever. Then went and saw The Vow. It was cute, I cried a lot.... I've been trying to pass the time till spring and this site Pinterest has really helped!  I have a few friends and family members due in the next couple of months. I decided instead of spending $60.00 on a Minky blanket to make them one.  My sewing lines are not always straight, ...
