My sweet husband!

This past weekend, I went to Boise for a conference of Psychology. I was gone from Thursday morning til Sunday afternoon. When I got home, this was waiting for me along with a bunch of sweet signs posted all around our apartment! I love my husband! Speaking of apartment, we just found an apartment in cedar that is $375 a month including utilities and it has hook-ups! We are stoked! It's still only one bedroom, but Todd went and looked at it and said that we could easily fit a baby in there, I'm going to go check today just to make sure! I'm so stinking excited!

Conference Weekend

So, I've been a pretty big slacker the past little while, school has been kicking my trash and actually I really shouldn't be doing this right now because I have a paper due tomorrow that I haven't even started... ANYWAY! Conference weekend we tried to go to conference but our stake didn't even RECEIVE any tickets so we basically had to do stand by.. which sucked! Anyway we stayed at the hilton up there in downtown SLC. We had a blast. Todd thought it was pretty up scale... It was so upscale, this liter of water cost $6.00 psh
Our wonderful view!
We were so happy to finally take a break!
Tawnee met us for dinner up there and we had a good time chatting with her

LOL We laughed really hard at this sign, good stuff!
This is us waiting in line, it was very VERY cold...
Our view of the temple...
Finally we made it over to the other side of the road, but all those people weren't looking so promising
A nice man we met in line took this picture of us... it was cold and all those people were a little intimidating
The line was starting to wrap up... if you notice that sign in the upper right... it says Mormons love Jesus. There were two old ladies holding it up and they were standing right in front of some preacher man yelling his point of view to all of the crowd, but they were kind of distracting from him, it was great! Needless, to say, we didn't get it, and who knows if I'll EVER get to go to conference, it probably won't been for at least a couple of years until I do, how sad!

April Fools Day

So yesterday was April Fools Day. I got it bad, really bad! Yesterday morning at like 8:00 my sister called and her voice was really serious and very quiet, and she said that she was getting back together with her ex-husband Denis. I know that my face lost all of it's color. I asked her why she felt that way and she's just like, "It just feels right!" And then she's just like, APRIL FOOLS! It was the MEANEST thing she could have done. If I could put my hand through the phone I would have strangled her! So mean!

This weekend

This weekend we went to Milford to visit Todd's family. His cousin blessed her baby this weekend and his other cousins from Idaho came down as well. There were a few that I had never met before, and some that I had met on our wedding day, and needless to say I really didn't get to know them at all! I had a BLAST! His family is probably the funniest people I've met in a really long time. For example, we were talking about the movie I am Legend and all of a sudden his cousin turned to his other cousin and opened his mouth really wide and made the noise that the zombies do on the movie. It was so funny! He seriously looked just like the zombie guys, I really wished I could have gotten a picture with them. Anyway, they reminded me of all my old friends from high school and it was nice to just hang out. We even did kind of a Denny's run type of thing. There isn't a Denny's there but there is a little diner like Denny's, so we went there at like 11:30 at night, because the next day was Sunday and some of us were pretty tired. I had so much fun, I'm seriously thinking about taking a trip to Idaho this summer to visit them.... And no, this picture isn't of them but I hate putting posts up with out pictures... Maybe I can get some pictures from Todd's mom and then I'll post them up. I'll let you know!

Baby news!

ok, so earlier this week we went to the doctor, and got our 4th ultrasound! Yeah... that's only with this pregnancy, that's not counting with Gibson... Anyway! They did an ultrasound because when they tried with the little sonar thingy or whatever it couldn't pick up the heart beat. I know that happens a lot, in fact it happened with Gibson too, but I was still a little freaked out. So then they did an ultrasound just to make sure the baby was ok. It was 3.44 CM long and I could see the arms and legs. It's adorable and the heartbeat was strong and great! I was pretty excited about it! The awkward thing was that Merica Utley now Nelson or however you spell her name... was my nurse. yeah, that's not awkward to get a vaginal ultrasound with her in the room... yeah right!

7 things I'm thinking about

Well this is from Janell... so here we go. 1- I'm thinking about the first dream I ever had about having a baby. That was last night and I'm getting kind of excited about that. 2- I'm thinking about the papers I should be writing instead of hanging out on here. 3- I'm thinking about all the stuff I have to do today, including fixing our car's window...stress. 4- I'm thinking about the good time I had last night with our friends and having the easter dinner that was delicious! 5- I love my friends, I'm so blessed. 6 - I love my husband! He is such a dream and has helped me out so much! He's such a strength to me. 7- I honestly wish it was summer, and I was so sick anymore...

Documentaries

For my film class, I have to watch a bunch of documentaries. It's been pretty interesting. It started with Planet Earth and now it's moved to different Michael Moore films. I watched Sicko yesterday, and watching things like that I leave feeling that the United States is really screwed up, but it's good for me to talk to other people that share the same views as I do to get me straight... It's been interesting to watching the different films though. I watched a movie about birth this week as well, since it is Spring Break and I have nothing else better to do. I am now officially really nervous to go through with birth. I really don't want to have a C-section and I don't want the epidural to slow the whole process down. Since my luck with pregnancy hasn't been the best so far, I'm hoping the delivery will be a lot more smoother. We'll see!

The Pigeon is Successful!

For my class with the pigeon, we have to put them in little boxes like this called a "Skinner Box" and kind of train them to do certain things our professor tells us to do. Well our lab that we've been working on for a week is trying to get the pigeon to peck a disk, such as this pigeon is doing in the picture. Well, 5 hours later we finally got it to do what we needed it to do! We were basically so excited when it finally pecked the disc. There were some people that it only took them 28 minutes from the beginning to the end of the lab, yeah it took us 5 hours because we were all doing something different. It ended up that we had to go into another room and watch the bird from a two way mirror so he would actually do stuff. It was pretty exciting to know that we actually taught the bird to peck a disk. We were so happy!

What's up with my body?!

Ok, so this weekend has been quite the roller coaster. I have no idea what is going on with me. On Saturday we went to the temple because Todd's little brother was going through for the first time. We enjoyed our time there and then went to lunch at this awesome restaurant named Samauri 21 it's a hibachi grill and it's in St. George, I love it! After that we went to Cosco to get some of their awesome muffins. WELL.... while we were walking around there, I kind of felt like I was bleeding, but just kind of put it off thinking that I was just over analyzing things. Well we went home and I had to go to the bathroom really bad. When I went, there was blood all over. I started crying thinking that I was having a miscarriage. I put a pad on and then waited. I wasn't having any cramping really and I was expecting that... well there was some tissue that had come out as well that looked about the size our baby would have been. I figured I had passed it and that I was no longer pregnant. I spent the rest of the night sitting on our couch at my mother-in-law's house and watching Heroes. Well the next morning I still felt sick... as in pregnant sick... I still haven't had any cramps... So I told Todd to go ahead and go to church, but I wasn't feeling well and so I stayed home and watched Father of the Bride. He came home after Sacrament meeting to see if I was ok. I called my friend who had had TWO miscarriages, to see what her experience was, because I was still feeling pregnant. She just said that she had cramped really badly and that after it was done, all the pregnant symptoms were gone. So I have no idea what's going on with me. The reason I was so sick yesterday was because the night before I figured I wasn't pregnant anymore and so I didn't take my pills. Well, I was dying with a really bad stomach ache, I felt like I could throw up all day. I only did once, only because Todd kept me from walking to the Bathroom. So I'm going to call my doctor today and see what's going on. I'm completely confused with what's going on with me body! Any ideas?

Awesome Doctor!

So I had my first doctor's appointment this last week, on Thursday. I have my next one on Wednesday, it's pretty busy. Well since I had such a crazy pregnancy last time, they are keeping a rather close eye on me. I got an ultrasound this first time, and we couldn't see the baby, but we could see the yolk sack. Which is a really good thing. My doctor was just like, "A yolk sack is a very good sign, we like yolk sacks. Yolk sacks-are-us. That's a good title, I should have named my practice that!" I started laughing, while he was giving me the the ultrasound. It was great. But we have an awesome picture of our little yolk sack. We're going to try looking again on Wednesday to see if we can see the baby.
Well before the ultrasound even started, I asked the doctor if I was considered high risk, for medicaid... well he thought for a minute and then said, "Uh not really. But if you started smoking, or doing some marijuana, maybe some crack, then you would be considered high risk." I started laughing! He knows I would never do that, and he's LDS and a very strong member of the church, but his sense of humor is great. It really just calms me down. Before he came in and talked to me, they took my blood pressure, and it was kind of high, but it was because I was just nervous, and the nurse wasn't really helping, but that's fine because my doctor is hilarious!

We're looking good

Hot Husband

Ok so I was at a training the other day for a class, and a girl I sat next to, knew Todd. We were talking for a minute, and then she said, "Yeah Todd is so cute! We are always playing around when he comes to fix my computer, it's fun." Well obviously, I kind of was a little weirded out by that because 1 - she was checking out my husband and 2- what did she mean by playing around. So I kind of talked to Todd about it that night, and he was just like... "who is this?" Well after a little bit, he understood who I was talking about, then he said, "I hardly even talk to her!"
Today, I have a friend that has been in a few of my classes look at the blog, well... she said that he was cute too... where did this come from? Now don't get me wrong, I think Todd is probably the hottest thing on this earth and I love him SO MUCH! But it was really strange to hear from 2 different women that my husband is cute... well I guess I'm just one lucky woman!

President's Day Weekend

This past weekend we went to Richfield for a couple of days. While we were there, we decided to make blankets. On Saturday we made a fleece blanket for me, and one for the baby. The one you see us working on is for me. The baby one is yellow and has a bunch of baby foot prints all over it. It's super cute! Also we found some fleece that had Yoda on it and starwars stuff. We couldn't find a backing for that, but on Monday we found some in Cedar City and I made the blanket for Todd on Monday. We've been sleeping with our blankets, and they are SUPER SUPER SUPER warm. It's great living in a basement in the middle of winter and having fleece blankets!

Valentines Day!

Well we had a good valentines day this year. Every year the show choir at the institute goes around all day and sings to different people. The guys sing to the girls and the girls sing to the guys. Well it's kind of been a tradition with us, since before we were dating to send them to each other. I sent them to Todd while he was at work, I was there to watch... then he sent them to me when I was at work. Well.... I work in a computer lab where people go to study, that was kind of funny. We got off work at the same time yesterday so I made Todd leave for like a half hour so I could get stuff put up for him. I found these cute cards at Wal-mart in the shapes of heart and they said "I love you..." so I put reasons why I loved him in the different cards and put them all over our apartment. Todd LOVES Reese's Peanut butter cups. So I found some packages of Reese's hearts. I put those and a bunch of chocolates all over our bed with two silk roses. With his present too. Which was some cologne.. that smells so good! ( It's Mary Kay high intensity... mmmmmmmmmm) And the shirt he's wearing in the picture. I made dinner and then hid in the apartment. He came home and tried to find me. He was way excited. He gave me some roses and Reese's chocolates ( I told you he liked Reese's). After a candle light dinner, we went to a play on campus. The Philadelphia Story, we left at intermission. It wasn't very good, but it's ok because it was free. Then we came home and went to bed, because we were really tired. We're getting old... lol

So this last Friday I we found out so pretty amazing news. I'm pregnant again. We weren't going to tell anyone for a while, but that didn't really work. That night we went to my brother's house. I didn't even say anything and my sister-in-law asked, or basically told me I was pregnant. She said she could just tell. That was a little weird, until the next morning when I went to a baby shower in Beaver. On the way there, I was driving with two of my good friends down here in Cedar. All of a sudden they started talking about a ton of baby stuff. I couldn't hold it in anymore, so I told them. They said they already knew. They were just trying to get it out of me. I asked them how they knew, and they said that they just knew. WELL I went to the baby shower and after it was over, I had another friend kind of pull me off to the side and asked if I was pregnant again... I couldn't lie to her so I said yes. She said that I had a glow around me. So basically! I obviously can't hide it. Another thing that has been weird about this, in December when we went to California, we visited some old family friends of Todd's while we were there. Well, the father of that family is way into Chi. When he found out about my miscarriage, he told me that he could fix me. I was just like.. uh ok. He's a worthy priesthood holder and very active in the church, so I thought that I could trust him. He sat across the room from me asking me different questions. All the while he was doing something with his hands. Chi is energy. Basically he will go through my body and see how the energy is flowing, if it's wrong, he'll correct it. Well after about 10 minutes or so of him doing stuff across the room, he said I was fixed. I was just like... uh ok... Well, about 20 minutes after that, I went to the bathroom, there was blood everywhere. I wasn't on my period, it was like my system had cleaned itself out. I didn't bleed again after that. Well I've only had one cycle since then, so I guess he did fix me. So just so you know, we're pregnant, and we're really excited. We are pretty nervous about it, but we feel good. I haven't been sick yet, so cross your fingers! But just so you know, since I'm awful at keeping secrets! Also, Katelyn, did you feel your baby sooner than you did with Cambree? Like could you feel her there sooner? Like a lot sooner? Like at 4 weeks? Just curious

My pigeon

This is the room with all of the cages... Each cage has a number and each lab partnership has a different number or cage...
This is my bird, Sam. He's pretty chill compared to the rest of the birds. He's starting to get used to us now, which is kind of nice... and I'm not so freaked out anymore.
This is me... pointing to my bird. I didn't want to pick him up because my partner had just been there and I don't want to screw things up.. but this is the stuff I've been doing.. on the table is a scale with a cage on it... it's the silver bowl like thing.. and yeah.. thats what we put the birds in to weigh them.. it's so fun... uh yeah...

Long Hair

This is how I feel lately. I have until December until I can chop my hair off, but man... I am getting sick of how long it's getting. It's now to the point where it's about 1 1/2 inches from my belt... that's long. I don't really know any styles I can do with it other than down, curly, pony tail, pony tail and braid... and that's about it. I'm not like SUPER good with hair, so I don't really know what to do with this. Does anyone have any ideas of cute hair styles that work with super long hair?
