The sun will come out tomorrow!

I feel much better today. The car works and it was a free fix! The battery was just corroded.
I got a blessing from Elder Rector today and it was so powerful. Everything is going to be fine and that's what he told me after the blessing. Thank goodness for the priesthood!!!

My day...

Today has been an interesting one. I woke up to a phone call from the doctor's office saying I have gestational diabetes. First they want me to cut out salt (because I'll retain more water if I eat a lot) now diabetes. Can't eat much, I guess. It's upset me quite a bit because I've been reading that diabetes doubles my chance of getting preeclampsia, which is what I got with Preston that made him come so early. I meet with a dietician next week to plan my diabetic diet and I also meet with perinatalogy. Hopefully things go well.
Then tonight I went to go somewhere and the car wouldn't start. Could my day get any better?? :)

My craft project

I've been meaning to post this for a while but haven't. I finished this project about a month ago and I'm so proud of it! I've been wanting to make one for a long time. I found a pattern for this one on www.mormonchic.com. It's one of my favorite websites with easy craft projects etc. My friend, Kayla, actually told me about it and we've been able to find Enrichment ideas on there too. My Aunt Julie and Uncle Shawn own a business called Erie Design in Ohio. They make signs and lettering and stuff so she sent me the letters for Christmas and I'm finally finished with it! Just wanted to share! Thanks Julie and Shawn!

whoops!

Yeah, you guessed it...those are Preston's cute glasses in two pieces. Last night we were at Target and Preston was just being a little pill! First it was the binkie on the floor then he would cry if I wouldn't give it back to him. So, I kept giving it back and then it would be back on the floor again!!! So, I wouldn't give it back to him and he pulled his glasses off and threw them on the hard floor. He kept taking them off and throwing them after I had just put them back on. I held them for a little while then just as we were about to leave I put them back on the he threw them again. When they landed they broke in two. I was SOOO mad! His glasses are the ONLY thing our insurance won't pay for and he had to go breaking them! When we got home I called Brad and told him and I was really mad on the phone. Preston kept looking at me with these puppy dog eyes and he kept kissing my knee. He knew I was mad and it was really cute how he was trying to make up for it. How could I be mad after that??

Preston, popcorn, being sick

Just to give you an idea of how sick Preston was...he NEVER snuggles. He always whines and wants down. He snuggled like this for almost a week he felt so yucky. He just wanted to be held and it was so sad.
So, my biggest craving is popcorn these days. For some reason, it's one of the only things that make me feel better! I honestly eat it everyday! Well, Preston loves it too. He'll just sit there and eat it with me and he's so quiet and content. We are so glad he's feeling better.

finally

Our little happy Preston is finally back! It was a long week. But, last night he finally perked up and is feeling a lot better, laughing and being silly like his normal self again!
I still get sick, which is real fun. It could be worse, I guess.
We are looking for a place in Henderson. It's hard to do long distance. We'll see what we can come up with. Life is good for us.

still sick!

Poor Preston is really struggling. We thought he was doing better. His temperature was back down and he hadn't thrown up since Wednesday. Well he still won't eat more than a few bites at a time and we took him to church today and all he did was whine. He just seemed so sad. So, I took him home and Brad and I took turns with him. He drank a little bottle and went to bed. When he woke up, Brad took him and he threw up all over Brad! I know the flu is going around but should it last this long? I feel so bad for him! It's so sad when you can't do anything for them...all I can do is give him loves but I can't make him feel better and it's so frustrating!
I think Brad has decided to go forward with going to Henderson for school. Unless we hear from the Arizona school soon looks like we'll end up there. He was a little bummed about it all, I think. He had his hopes up for Arizona. So, we're starting to look a little bit at housing and try to go forward with Nevada, which I'm OK with.
