My face is fuller

I’m in pain again, this baby growing business is no joke and people keep telling me to just wait till the third trimester when things get really ugly and I gotta day, I’m not looking forward to that because now is already crummy enough. But those weekly ultrasound appointments keep me going and baby girl is so adorable, even as a black and white wiggly blob. I’m so looking forward to snuggling her, I can tangibly feel it and my arms ache for it. It’s amazing going through all these things that I’ve heard about and now get to experience firsthand. I hope sleep helps the hips that are giving me trouble today and clears the angst of the day away. 

Remember me?

I’m feeling pretty disconnected from people. I’m in my own little bubble of secrets and sickness and this stupid medication I’ve been taking since January that’s supposed to make me better just feels like it’s making me worse. I went to therapy today which was great, but I’m so emotionally drained from airing out all my baggage. Connor is nearing the end of the semester and he’s just as worn out and tired as I am only he’s not taking nasty meds. There are so many things to be grateful for and I’m so happy I have access to a therapist I love and medications that make my body healthier. I look forward to the day when my body is perfected in Christ and I don’t have to worry about overdoing it one day because I’ll have the energy I need. I’ll be able to run without my knees feeling like they’re broken! I don’t feel like I have chronic pain and I’m so sorry for people that do, but my little body has a lot going on and I’m just tired and sad. 

Call me the sugar rush champ

1. I made a surprise cake for Connor for our anniversary, since all the hubbub starts tomorrow, it seemed like a good opportunity. 

2. Mycah and I got so slap happy during work today and it was amazing! 

3. I got Mycah a flower and peachie ohs for her anniversary since it’s next week and she hugged me!! That’s a first, in case anyone was wondering. And she repaid me by getting me chick fil a for lunch because she’s swell. 

Ps. Haley and Spencer had their baby 😍😍

Happee birthdae harry

1. Tommy had a Harry Potter party last night, it was so fun! 

2. I worked in the yard for awhile after getting home and it’s always so satisfying to work with my hands 

3. We watched the last few minutes of a movie we started a couple days ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.

On Saturday Connor took me to timpanogos caves and we did a cave tour which was so awesome! I don’t think I’ve ever been in a cave before. I’m grateful for the experience and there goes one thing off our “before we leave Utah” list. There’s all these things that people around here do all the time and we don’t want to leave having never done some of them. Stay tuned for more of those :) 

1. Connor surprised me with the tickets to the cave tour! 

2. We had Michael and Christy over for dinner on Sunday night and laughed a lot! 

3. Christy and I won all three games of king of Tokyo and they really enjoyed the game! 

Bro, do you even pioneer?

1. We had a potluck at work today and it was delicious! 

2. Connor had to work from home today so he was much more accessible to me and it was great! Man I love him. 

3. I went to see the new mama Mia movie by myself and it was great fun! I thoroughly enjoyed it and I didn’t think I would since I wasn’t as crazy about the first one. 

Fancy food FHE

So for FHE tonight we decided it would be great silly fun to have one of everything! Even a spaghetti noodle 😂 Connor said he put the sauce on it to make it look like we were at a fancy restaurant haha we ate them at the same time and Connor made comments the whole time like he was a judge on the great British baking show. Never a dull moment around here ;)
