Month: June 2009

I LOVE the rain :)

This has been a most beautiful spring here in Utah. Usually the weather is a lot of hot and a lot of cold. But this year, the winter is gone that is obvious, so it’s no longer cold. But it hasn’t really been hot either. We’ve had quite a bit of rain this season which I just love. Rain means that I don’t need to go out and water the garden, or the lawn, or the fruit trees. Here it is June and we still haven’t needed to turn on our sprinklers to water the front lawn. It’s nice and green, a bit weedy, but still it’s green! And I have only had to turn on the A/C twice so far this season. It’s just been so nice. Today has been another rainy day, so beautiful. The sun poked out this evening but I noticed that it was still raining, then I saw this HUGE rainbow:

There is even a shadow of the rainbow above it that you can kind of see in the picture. So beautiful.

37 1/2 Weeks!

Closer and closer we get to having our new little bundle. Every day we are just one day closer! Today at my appointment my midwife checked my progress from last week. This week I am dialated to 4 cm, about 80% effaced, and the baby is head down at -1 station (right there in the pelvis). So it’s looking like the baby may come sometime in this next week or so! They also told me that I tested positive for Group B Strep. 🙁 So that means I have no choice but to have IV antibiotics while I’m in labor so that the baby doesn’t catch it on the way out. BUMMER! But that’s nothing new, I had to have the IV antibiotics with Jeremy and Dinah’s pregnancies too. So we’ll see how the next week plays out. 😉

Testimonies

Opening Song: “My Redeemer Lives” Hymn #135

Opening Prayer: Tyra

Lesson: We talked to the kids about what a testimony meeting at church is and then went on to talk about what a testimony is. We pointed out the 5 major parts of a testimony.

  1. Jesus is the Christ and our Saviour
  2. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the true church
  3. Joseph Smith is a prophet of God
  4. The Book of Mormon is true
  5. President Thomas S Monson is a true prophet that receives revelation for the Church on the earth today.

Closing Song: “Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam” Children’s Songbook pg 60

Closing Prayer: Rebecca

FHE Treat: Brownies with vanilla ice cream and chocolate & caramel syrup

36 1/2 WEEKS!

Well it’s time to be finishing up the preparations for baby’s arrival. I’m 36 1/2 weeks and had my appointment today and I’m already dialated to 3 cm! So I need to finish packing for the hospital, and make up some bags of stuff for the kids in case they need to go to cousin’s house or Granny’s house while I’m in the hospital. I’ve got to finish clearing off my recliner so I have a place to nurse the baby during the night (that has been a 2 day project already and my room looks like a bomb exploded). We still need to go and have maternity pictures taken for the baby book…..the list goes on. But we registered at the hospital today so that’s taken care of. 😀 The lady asked me for my birthdate to verify who I was, and so I told her but Kyle (being silly as always) said “we don’t know the birthdate yet” 😛 At least she laughed. I get so embarrassed when Kyle tries to be silly and the other person doesn’t get it.

So the anxious awaiting begins…..STRESS!
