Sunburns, YW, & Baby Clothes

So, I went to the pool on Saturday morning about 10:00am. Rob was doing some stuff with his scouts in the pool since about 9:00. I took my latest Harry Potter book (I am rereading all of them for fun) and decided to read and get a tan. I switched positions while I was out there--I put my feet in the pool, I switched sides of the pool, I laid on a chair, I stood at the side of the pool and read, and when all was said and done I went back to our apartment at about 12:15-12:30ish. So, I had been out there for well over 2 hours. It was only supposed to get up to 90 that day, and this was earlier in the day so it only could have been in the low 80s. I AM SUNBURNED. I have a nice burn outlining exactly where my swimming suit and shorts resided on my body. I am deep dark red sunburned. I think the Arizona sun must be hotter than the sun in other places. So, I guess March in Arizona in the 80s really can fry a person's skin.

I went to the Young Women Broadcast on Saturday night. It was so amazing. It was so good for my spirit to be there. I felt like I learned a lot and remembered what it was like to be 15 and what you are worrying about and trying to do. It also made me want to try harder to be better and be as stalwart and faithful about scriptures, praying, etc. as I was when I was younger. Elder Eyring gave an amazing talk that I absolutely loved. It is so amazing how those Brethren fulfill the callings that are given to them. I always thought Elder Eyring was the young guy--but he definitely isn't the young guy anymore! He actually had a cane he walked to the pulpit with!
We went to a place called the Children's Orchard on Saturday to look for baby clothes. It is a used kids clothing store--but had such nice stuff. We bought the cutest little denim jumper dress that I have ever seen. I am totally in love with it. We also bought like 6 or 7 other little shirts, dresses, etc. all for only $14. It was awesome. Now, I need to not buy any more things until she gets here and we know what we need better.
But, it was just as fun to buy new clothes for Lily as it is to buy new clothes for myself--and baby clothes are a heck of a lot cuter.

That is pretty much it for us. We are doing good. It is starting to get warm again. I am still feeling sick part/most of the time depending on the day. I only made it through Sacrament meeting and part of Sunday school today before I came home and crashed. I will hit 19 weeks this week---almost halfway!

Joys of being pregnant!

I hope everyone had an awesome Easter. We had a good time. We dyed Easter Eggs last Monday for FHE. Then, on Sunday morning Rob made me hide them for him to find, and then he hid them for me to find. It was fun. I made funeral potatoes and grilled chicken for dinner. I thought it was delicious! We went over to our friend's Becky & Zach's for dessert afterwards. They live in the complex we are moving to at the end of June so we can get a two bedroom apartment. It is in our same ward so we are excited about that.
I had a truly Blonde-stupid pregnant moment on Saturday night. I was pulling something out of the oven, and I put my hand in the oven with hot pads, but then lifted my hand straight up and hit the back of my hand on something very hot in the oven. I now have a big red scar/burn on the back of my hand. Smart, I know. It really kind of hurts.
They changed the dosages on one of my many medications again, so once again I am feeling nauseous most of the day. And, they will probably change it again for every month the whole time I am pregnant! Yippee!
We are planning on flying to Idaho Falls at the end of May and doing a baby shower, doing Waite Family Fun Days, and going to my sister's baby blessing. I am excited to get away for a little while--even if it is to such an exciting locale as Idaho Falls and then to Utah. We can get cheap tickets to fly from Vegas to Idaho Falls--cheaper than to drive, so that is what we are going to do. It makes me excited to not have to think about driving that long brutal drive again.
So, that is pretty much it for us. Not very exciting to blog about.
We are very excited to have a little girl--it still seems very surreal, but as the bump continues to grow, I guess it is real!

We went to the doctor today... it's twins!! J/K!

We went to the doctor today and found out that the bump in my stomach is no longer a peanut.

This is Rob's excited face driving away from the doctor's office!

Lily Arianna due August 27, 2008!!!!!!

Pictures of the belly.....

Here is what you have all been waiting for....pictures of my ginormous prego belly! These were taken last Sunday before church on our patio!

Why?

Things I have been pondering....

Why do people enjoy telling you how big you are getting?
Why is it accepted in modern culture for random people to touch your pregnant belly?
Why do I get sick at nighttime?
Why do I have such a loving husband who is trying so hard to do everything he can to help me while I am pregnant?
Why do I get to be so lucky and be pregnant all summer in the hottest civilized place on earth?
Why do I crave hot dogs so much?
Why can't a Costco be closer to my work so I can get a hot dog for lunch--YUM?
Why am I so tired even when I go to bed at 8:30?
Why are all baby things so cute?
Why am I always so thirsty?
Why does everyone want to see a picture of my belly so badly? (I know I promised to post one, I just need to find the time when I am at home and not puking to do that.)
Why older women that I work with think I shouldn't find out the gender? If anyone is going to know, it is going to be me, not the doctor and some tech!
Why did Heavenly Father decide to send this baby now? (Not that I am not grateful, but why all of a sudden when we have been trying so hard for so long? Why now?)
Why do I burp all the time? (I know why--the peanut!)

So everyone thinks it is a girl

Thanks to all who participated in my Guess what my Peanut is--
It would seem as if most people are thinking it is a girl. I am not quite sure how to take the 2 guesses for a peanut! Everyone at work and at church seems to think it is a girl, so we shall see if they are correct on Friday.
I am starting to feel a little better--I feel like I am on the brink of better. Nights are the worst--after about 7:00pm I am no good to anyone anymore. I usually feel nauseous and puky after about that time. But, that is better than feeling that way 24/7.
I did finally take a belly picture today, so I will post it tomorrow for all the world to enjoy. I got a new maternity dress (courtesy of my mother--who sent me one that didn't fit that I exchanged for a new one). I love it. I wore it to church and work and got lots of compliments. The picture below is not me--it is from the website. It definitely points out the belly I have going on! Embrace the belly! My miamaids all told me they thought it was a girl because I was wearing a pink dress--so it must be a girl! You gotta love 14 year old logic!
Not much else is new here. My recent cravings are for HOT DOGS. If there was a Costco close to my work--I would probably go and eat a $1.50 hot dog every day!
Me and my sister were e-mailing our other sister's about where to get Boppy's. My Dad's response was "Can someone tell me what a big bopper is?Does one eat it, wear it, drive it, or just stop and look at it? Give me some hints. Dad" It made me laugh really hard. For those of who you don't know what a boppy is--it is a crescent shaped pillow that you can use for breastfeeding, helping wobbly newborns sit, etc. I really want one. One website I found even showed a pregnant woman sleeping with it between her legs. That might be worth a shot!

I have lost 6 pounds since becoming pregnant. Good times. I doubt that trend will continue for much longer, but it is kind of fun to see smaller numbers each time now.

That is it for now!!!!!!
