Bella Gets a Haircut!

So My poor puppy has been so neglected lately! she use to get her hair cut once a month before me and Mark got married, but now that we are on a budget, poor bella is one of the cut backs, we have tried to cut her hair numerous times with no success might I add, but I decided to go at it again... being pregnant and al and the whole "nesting" is totaling to blame, because I could have been patient and waited for Mark to do it, but my instinct is to do it myself because it will get done the way I want it done. And I am not saying Mark's way is wrong... apparently it just isn't how I see it so I would have to go back and do it again if I didnt just want to deal with it... Did that make any sense???? probably not, my brain cells are leaking through my belly these days... well anyways here are a few pictures of the haircut... I sware I didn't torture her, she just looks like that.

I Concurred the Vacuum

Okay so for the billionth time I concurred the Vacuum! I don't know why but it keeps getting clogged, and it is never in the same place so I have to just guess and check every time. This time there was a clog in the hose... which is very difficult to get out. I spent about an hour looking for the clog and when I finally found it, all I could do was bang the cord until the clog slowly loosed itself! I am totally in the "nesting faze" of this pregnancy but it seems like every time I go to clean, I have to fix something first. Well at least for now the vacuum is fixed and working. We can only see what will break tomorrow. Fingers crossed: NOTHING!! I am 8 months prego, 4 more weeks to go, and fixing things is not on my list of things I need to get done before my little man gets here!!! Anyways I gotta get back to cleaning list, wish me luck.....

new stroller

We got a Stroller!!!! YEAH! I am so super excited about it, Papa called me the other day and asked if I would be home later on that day so that he could take us to go get the stroller we wanted! That just made my whole day!!! I can't believe he bought that for us. Thank you so so so much mom and dad!! Anyways he took me and Mark to babiesRus and I showed him the one we registered for.. it was on of the cheaper ones... of course because it was in our price range, but he told me it was ugly, I think he just didn't like it... I laughed and then said well then I don't know which one I like... Papa pointed out this one... ( way over what me and Mark would be able to afford right now) I really liked it; it looked like it could do anything... It has all these cool compartments and gadgets.. I told momma it could probably fly if I wanted it too. But anyways me and Mark are very bless! here are some pictures of our cool present.... we also got a cool little baby bath too!

Eldon's room, mom and dad in town, and Momma's day

59 days to go!!!! wow that is just so crazy to me!!! I just keep looking at the time passing by and I am always telling Mark... "did you know that in ____ days our little boy will be here?!" half the time I tell him this with lots of excitement, and the other half I tell him with complete nervousness!!! I am so excited to have our little boy here but at the same time I am so nervous about everything about to change to nothing I have experienced before, I have no way of predicting what will happen so I guess for now I just have to go with the flow.

Moving out and in Friday May 1st


Okay so now for an update, Thursday and Friday we moved into our apartment. I did most of the packing and my poor hubby had to do all of the lifting and all of the carrying things up the stairs, did i mention we live on the 3rd floor! He had a little help here and there, but I felt so bad that I couldn't help out more. But even though I hated the thought of moving again, I really do think this is for the best, rather than waiting till Eldon gets here and then having to manage moving!! Now that would be crazy, but now I am just left getting our little apartment ready for our little man on the way! Which now I am wishing I had more time because it is easy to move in but it is harder to unpack and find a place for everything. Eldon's room luckily is all done... and I love It! below are Pictures of his room so far, we still have picture and maybe painting to do...
Now onto the rest of the house

Momma and Pappa came to town Monday May 4th


Mom and dad came into town on Monday, Mark picked them up from the airport, I was at work, then dad went to work and mom and Mark came down to Provo and had lunch with Nic and Kristen, then Mom and Mark came and brought me lunch. Tuesday I worked all day so I didn't get to see either of them. But Wednesday I took all day off work to spend the day with Mom searching for a house! I had a blast being with her all day it was so nice just getting quality time with her. Then later that night we went to a Japanese steakhouse that cooks in front of you, and we had dinner with Mom and Pappa and Mark and Kristen, in celebration of dad's birthday!! My parents are so young, I can't believe i will be making them grandparents at 46! Nic wasn't with us he left Monday to sell pest control in Arizona. Well mom had a Dr's appointment on Thursday and then left early Friday morning so I wasn't able to see mom again before she left, but she will be back for good soon, so I can't wait!

My first "Mother's Day" Sunday May 10th

Okay so I am not really sure if I qualify as a mother yet, but either way I am some sort of mother in training.. or mother to be, either case, Sunday we attended our new ward, which I love by the way, and the primary children and the young men and men's choir sang "I see my mother kneeling", and I don't know what it was about that song, but the tears just all got welled up in my eyes, and I just felt this intense sense of accomplishment, like I was overcome with happiness and pride. I just felt so lucky that my heavenly father has blessed me with this beautiful baby inside of me, and out of all others he has chosen me to raise his child of God! Wow is the only way to describe the emotions I felt.
Later on that day I went on LDS.org and just searched some of the past conference talks, one in particular spoke right to me. It said, " being a mother is said to be second only to Godliness!!!!" how intense is that, this is such a serious commitment me and Mark are about to enter, and how can we not just marvel at the opportunity and blessing we have been given. because that is what it is, It is a gift from our Father in heaven, no matter how much we wanted to be parents, it was him who choose us worthy enough to be parents to our perfect little boy on the way. Although our past ear of marriage we have had to endure much trials that seem to hit us just at the wrong time, I know heavenly father is preparing the way for his spirit child to come into our home, and we have been prepared for him to come home. I can't wait for this incredible blessing to unfold!
