sad

Preston hasn't had the best couple of days. He caught the flu and he is just miserable! I just feel so bad that I can't make it all better. He was throwing up all last night. It's so sad. He just whines all the time. It breaks my heart. I'm sure he'll get better soon.
Brad found out today that he is on a waiting list for Midwestern, AZ. Which means we don't know if he'll get accepted or not. We'll get a letter soon explaining it all I'm sure. He said that they told him he could call today and see and that's what they told him. I thought that something like that might happen because his interview was so late. So...we STILL don't know where we're goin! Ha ha. I'm trying to be patient.

Bailing out

I was going to post yesterday but never got around to it. Yesterday morning I heard Preston crying. I went into his room to get him out of bed and he was on the floor. Yeah, he jumped out of his crib!!!!!! It scared me to death! He cried pretty hard for a minute and then he was back to his normal self. He is so lucky! I have no idea how he did it but someone he managed to throw himself overboard!! What a little nut! So, we lowered the mattress so it is a lot lower. If he can get out now, I'll be really surprised! I was so scared!

Mother's Day

I've been reading all my friends blogs and their stories about Motherhood. Thought I'd add my thoughts. It's still so weird to actually be a Mom now and celebrating Mother's Day takes on a whole new meaning. I absolutely LOVE being a Mom! I wouldn't trade it for anything. I'm so glad I'm able to stay home with my little pal and not have to work. I sure love that little peanut!
Brad made me pancakes for breakfast this morning and he and Preston gave me gifts. Brad got me one of those Willow Tree figurines of a mom and dad holding their little baby and it is perfect! He also got me glass mixing bowls which I've been wanting and an apple slicer (I eat a lot of apples). We went to see our moms too and we really appreciate them and all they do for us.
I love hearing the primary kids sing to their moms. It makes me tear up everytime. I can't wait until Preston can sing! I also can't wait to meet my little girl! I already have so much love for her...except for the fact that she makes me sick all the time! LOL!

David Archuleta Day

What a fun day for David! He's our boy! We've been watching "his day" on the news this morning and boy is he getting a TON of attention!!! It's fun to have an Idol in Utah. We really hope he wins!!
For those of you who don't know, Brad and I are huge Idol fans! We haven't missed an episode! Carrie Underwood started it all...we love her! We vote and everything. Vote for Dave!

It's still a girl!

I had an appointment with perinatology today. The baby and I are still doing well. I am exactly 24 weeks, which is when Preston was born. They estimated that the baby weighed 1 lb 6 oz. Preston only weighed 1 lb 1 oz. So, the baby girl has already passed him up! YAY! Dr. Gainer seemed to think if the baby was early it wouldn't be very early so that eased my fears a little. I'm feeling pretty good about it right now. I worry too much sometimes. From what we can see she's pretty cute! OF COURSE!!
Brad is back. Preston kept kissing him this morning, it was so cute. He really loves his Daddy. He got back late last night. He thinks his interview went well. We'll find out in a few weeks.

We miss Brad!!

Brad left yesterday for his Arizona interview. He'll be back tonight. Preston and I never really spend time away from Brad and man do we miss him! He sure knows how to make us happy! I hope his interview goes well today. I'm sure he'll be glad when it's over and we'll be glad to have him home tonight. I didn't think it would be this hard to be away for one night. I wanted to go with him but I'm just not a very good traveler while pregnant and sick. Probably not a good idea. He was able to stay with a mission friend that is going to the same school.
Brad called me last night and said he was talking to his buddies roommate and ends up he knows Brad's cousin who evidentally is going to Midwestern and lived a building away from where Brad is staying right now in Arizona. Brad hasn't seen this cousin since before his mission. So, he went over and visited with him for a while. Totally random!

aaaaaaaah!

Sometimes I let myself get too stressed out. I just have so much weighing on my mind, not knowing where we're going to be in a few months, not knowing when the baby's gonna come, being RS Pres etc. I'm trying to remain calm and let the Lord lead the way, but, it isn't easy.
I'm physically feeling better, not great, but better. These babies aren't very nice to our bodies! We get sick and fat and we get heartburn. But, after a long long wait...it's worth it. I really want to get out and exercise a little but I'm just not feeling up to it. I get so out of breath, it totally wears me out just to walk up the street. So not fair.
Preston has decided lately he doesn't want to take naps. Not sure what's up there. He used to be so good at taking 2 naps a day. He just wants to change it all up lately, crazy boy!!He'll just lay in there and play and babble forever but never go to sleep. I guess I should just be glad he's happy. He sure gets cranky by the time bedtime comes around. At least he still sleeps like a champ at night!!
