life...

Okay first, let me just say Lulu has angels too. I truly believe in angels. Cody and I were watching some stupid movie on TV and suddenly it turned off and we heard a spark sound. We turned around to see Lulu putting this key in the outlet!!! Cody thought she was dead but I saw she was just kind of scared and frozen. I picked her up and started telling her to never never never NEVER touch an outlet again and then she started crying pretty hard at Daddy's freaked out reaction. He took her outside and had a chat with her and calmed her down, then Cody and I both cried realizing what could have happened. WOW!!!
Onto another subject... I'm not a fan of Saturdays. After many hours of getting nothing done and chasing messes, I came into the living room to see this. They were all watching Tom and Jerry. At least they were enjoying this Saturday.





On this same unproductive Saturday, I went into the baby's future room to find Lulu here in the swing. She lived in this swing as a baby and up til around 2, still slept there during naps. I think we're in for a fight when she sees her baby brother using it... 42 days y'all!!!




And another subject, the other night Lulu fell asleep like this. I love this kid. (She still wears a diaper at night but insists on her big girl panties over them.)






Cody and I had a good laugh. However later in the night when her legs were draped over me and she was cuddled so close to me that I was falling off the bed, I was realizing again how much we need to get her back into her own bed. She used to have a great bedtime routine and had no problem sleeping in her own bed but last summer after we got back from vacation, it all changed for some reason. We're both torn because we love having her by us but we also need our own space. Especially with new baby coming too- they'll just be waking each other up all night! Any advice how to train a 3 year old to sleep in her own bed is gladly welcomed.

And here's some big news... Cody is taking me on a date tonight!!! It has been way too long and even though I had to beg for it, we are going and I am happy. Maybe it will help me remember why I like him so much. :) I never see the boy lately so this should be fun.

Bountiful...boonies...same thing

We are officially moved in the new house. YAY!! I am NEVER NEVER NEVER moving while I am this pregnant again. I had a big meltdown last Thursday because this has not only been physically taxing on me but emotionally taxing as well. It was really easy to move to the Brigham house because we were getting our own place finally, I wasn't pregnant, (well I was, just didn't know yet. :o) and it all just fell into place. This move, I was 7 months pregnant and just not in shape to do this. We were really happy in the Brigham house and I know we'll be happy here too but it was hard to leave. My sweet sisters and mom have been my lifesavers though. After a girls night at Alisha's, which I have no pictures of, they all came out here to help me get unpacked and organzied. Then on my big meltdown day last week, Alisha took Lulu so I wouldn't yell at her anymore over stupid things and my parents made me go get a pedicure and pamper myself for a few hours, while they picked the twins up for me in Willard, then proceeded to bring them here, along with a yummy dinner made by Alisha. They even stayed and played with them. It seems backwards to me but I have been way more emotional with this little boy in my belly then I was when I had Lulu in there. I AM SO SICK OF CRYING!! And Cody is too, though he's had his share of crying as well, he says he's pregnant too. :) We both cried while watching Pollyanna the other night! I cry over the good, the bad, the hard, the sweet, the pointless... its ridiculous. But anyway, Lulu and I went to a playgroup this morning that our ward has every Tuesday and I got to know some of the other moms and kids and I think we will really like it here. I am one of NINE women in this ward who are due with a baby in August, but there are about 7 more who are also pregnant and due in other months. WHAT? We finally moved into a young ward! Its nice to have Cody home a little earlier with his short commute and I'm getting used to the drive to Brigham for dance and the twins. Hope our cars last! Cody parked in front of our house yesterday and 2 minutes before he went to get in his car, someone pulled a hit and run! We didn't catch them and his car is pretty scratched up now and missing the sideview mirror. Nice. But Lulu loves her new castle- she still misses the old one but she is enjoying it here more and more everyday, which I am too so that is good. Well there are all my ramblings for today. Hope I don't sound like Debbie Downer! The hard times are important and I'm grateful for what I'm learning and the refining process taking place right now. I'll be stronger for it, right?
