This made me cry!

I know it's a few days late, but I just saw this on someone else's blog and really felt like I needed to share. Makes me feel extra lazy for sleeping in and taking 2 naps on Christmas!

That's My Mom (and Dad)!

Hi Loved Ones,


So a friend of mine who used to live in Sheridan pointed me toward this blog post by someone who still does live in Sheridan, in my parents' ward.  My mom and dad worked together to create a really neat Primary sharing time and this lady posted about it.  I thought I would share the link (with her permission) and you can all enjoy it as well.  I can't wait until my parents live closer so my children can be a part of these fun things as well.


Love you both!

10 Fingers, 10 Toes

So I had my ultrasound last week.  I have been waiting to post so I could add pictures, but since we don't have a scanner and I forgot to take the pictures over to my in-laws last night, I guess I will just post without.  Since Pret had to work late that day, my sister Shannon was able to come with me for the "show."  I think she had a good time as well and was very relieved for me that there just appeared 1 body, unlike her last one that revealed 3.  


We saw 10 fingers, 10 toes, a very healthy beating heart, and all parts of the face and brain necessary to show that it will be a healthy baby.  I could have watched that heart beating all day long--what an amazing creation this child is even at just 20 weeks (that's my official progress as of today!).  The baby was very stubborn as far as moving into positions where we would be able to see what we needed, and Shannon and I had commented on the fact that Pret is worried about how our child will look and especially the stubborness that could come with a red-headed child, so the technician even "drew" some curly red hair on the baby.


The baby had finally moved into a cooperative position and the tech asked, just to verify, whether I wanted to find the gender.  I stayed strong and said, "No" and haven't regretted that decision.  I will say, though, that there are a couple shots where I think if there was something to be seen, it would have been seen...if you get what I am implying.  So my bets are still on a girl!  


Either way, we realized that both of the names that we are thinking of start with the letter L, so for me, the baby is now "Little L."  I don't know what Pret thinks of that, but his name for the baby is not official until it is born.
