Sick

I have been miserably sick for the past three days. Miserable because I can't sleep, I don't want to eat but have to for Arya, and every part of my body aches. Thank goodness I had a doctors appointment today, and I'm all stocked up with antibiotics. The worst part about being sick while you are pregnant is worrying about your child. Are they sick too? Can they tell you are sick? Are they getting enough food? water? vitamins? Not only have I had all of this to deal with, but it's finals week, which adds on to the stress significantly. I honestly don't know what I would do without my husband. He is the most loving, caring, generous person in the world. It's finals week for him too, he is taking way more classes than I am, working two jobs, and dealing with finishing up projects along with studying for finals. Somehow, he still finds the time to come to my doctors appointment with me, fix me soup, bring me water to my bedside, and listen to my incessant whining and complaining. Sorry to break it to you ladies, but I have the best husband out there!

While we were at the doctors office we got to hear Arya's heartbeat. Everything sounded strong and healthy, which was very comforting to me, since I was so worried about her feeling the effects of my sickness. It's great to know that she is healthy and well.

Some great news is that we are having a baby shower this weekend! I'm really excited to see some of my old friends, and really happy to see all of the things everyone got for Arya! I can't wait to come back here and update on all the gifts!

Valentine's Day

Ryan was pretty busy on Thursday, which was actually Valentine's day, so we celebrated Friday afternoon instead. Last Valentine's day we went to a place called the Red Crab and LOVED it! We decided to go again this year, and we weren't disappointed.  We walked down to the Red Crab, which is not far from our house. The restaurant was supposed to open at 6, but this is Grenada, so we got there at six to find they weren't quite ready for us. This field is right beside the Red Crab, so we took Arya to run around for a bit.  Ryan ordered some gazpacho and asked Arya to try it. I'm so glad I captured this sequence of events. She resisted at first.  She finally agreed to try a bite.  Not so bad...  Then the taste sets in. She wasn't a fan.  She was much happier after she washed it down with some cold water.  We both had the lobster tail. It was absolutely delicious! It was a  great night, and we had a w

Ten things NOT to say to a pregnant woman.

So, i figured with my time being pregnant coming to a quick close, I would give some advice to those of you who haven't been pregnant. Before my recent foray into pregnancy, I made most of these mistakes. Thankfully, I know better now, and will never again exclaim loudly to one of my pregnant friends-"You look HUGE!" 1. "Hey, you look great!... You know, being pregnant and all" (Or post-pregnancy "You look great!... You know, having had 3 kids and all") The best thing to do in this situation is to stop with "Hey, you look great!" or, don't comment at all. Pregnant women know they've gained 30 lbs in 9 months, that they have cankles, that-thanks to raging hormones- they have acne, and that they do, in fact, NOT look great. 2. "That's going to be a HUGE baby!" Yeah, this is a fantastic one. After having someone tell you daily that you must be carrying Gigantor around in your belly- and then you find out at your son

Mothers

I have to say, out of all the incredible things I love about our Church, there is one thing I've always been really impressed with. The Prophets, Apostles, and members of the church are always so quick to recognize the importance of women. I can't tell you how many times I've been uplifted because of the things our leaders have said about our potential and significance as women. As I've become a mother, I've found that to be just as true. I've had a bit of a difficult time since having Arya. Being a stay at home mom is hard. Yes, it's sometimes hard to do the things a mom has to do, but that's not what I mean when I say being a stay at home mom is hard. What's really difficult is looking at the rest of the world, the accomplishments of everyone out there, and thinking "What am I really doing?". Sometimes, it does get to me that my friends have all graduated. That they have careers, money, leisure time. Sometimes I think "Should that be
