My Cool Nephew and Other Life

So, my nephew is the coolest, he is learning to Army crawl. I will see if I can attach the video Katie and Steve emailed me. He is the cutest little guy. I also got to go to the Dr. and hear my baby's heartbeat on Friday. Before the doctor put the machine on my belly, she said not to worry if we couldn't hear the heartbeat because sometimes it is hard to hear the first time, but nope my baby's heart was beating strongly. Roderick is very convinced now that we are having a boy. We get to find that out next month. We are very excited. I have decided officially I hate college classes, but just a few more till I am done and can teach if I want, but probably I will focus on being a mommy. I am tired now, hopefully this time gets better since I am tired of being tired.

Accidents

So nobody ever really clues you in to how dangerous pregnancy can really be. I have to get up in the middle of the night at least 2 if not more times to find ( or rather stumble ) my way to the bathroom. It doesn't matter what I drink or how much sure enough at about 130, 400, 545 and then when I really get out of bed I find myself running without the lights on. I realized how dangerous this can be when a few nights ago on my way back to bed with my eyes almost closed I nailed my thigh on the corner of a bedside table that by the way was not even sticking out, so hard that in the morning when I looked it had moved almost a foot. It was so loud I woke up my husband. Then I went to sleep. So then, and my siblings who know I am accident prone can appreciate this, I did it again a couple hours later. So bad that I cut my leg on the corner this time. When I woke up the next morning I found a bruise the size of a silver dollar under the cut on my leg, which is still there. Needless to say I try to find a light switch now in the middle of these escapades. Ouch!!

Life Goes On

No picture for me this post, but we should all be happy that I am posting twice in a 3-4 week period. This usually never happens, but I figure I will try to be better about keeping up with life in general. We are both busy, Rod at work with Vanguard and me at work in the dental field. I just got called to Enrichment committee and to be the ward choir pianist and am still feeling tired. However in a few days I will be starting my second trimester and I hear that energy is much higher in those months. I am really hoping for that. Milo our puppy is still as crazy as usual, but we love him. We went looking at tropical fish today, as if we need more pets right? I am just trying to stay sane between life, school, and all the other things that come up on a daily basis, but we are happy just the same. Yesterday we saw the movie Penelope. A must see for anyone who likes a good story. Even Roderick found himself enjoying it. We are not spending our time campaigning as much with Mitt being out of the race so that part of our life has definately calmed down. Ah....off to see what Tivo has on for us!! BTW, check out my youtube human tetris link, it made me laugh till I cried.

Still in Vegas

The next day, we caught up to Mitt at one of the caucus locations and spent a few minutes with him before he was off again. What a fun experience.

Campaigning

Last month we went to Vegas for the Vegas primary and we were campaigning for Uncle Mitt, Rod's Uncle. We took my little brother Jordan with us and he said it was one of the best experiences of his life. First we saw Ann and Josh, one of Rod's cousins.

Updating

I realized that since it has been a long time I will start updating and I will start first with Christmas.....Here we are the girls in our pajamas, a family tradition to match.

Life in 2008

Someday I will become better about updating this regularly. Heck, maybe that will be one of my New Years resolutions...can you make those in February? What? It's already February. A lot has been going on as usual. I stopped piano, but I am still taking classes and working hard as a dental hygienist in Scottsdale. More good news...Rod and I recently found out I am pregnant. I am in my 9th week, so we still have a long way to go but we are very excited!!

Rod graduated in December in Economics and is working at Vanguard, an investment company. He is enjoying it so far and preparing himself for the GMAT in March and the LSAT in June. He wants to do his MBA and Law degree at the same time. More school for him, but we are looking forward to the new things life is bringing us. More on the Davies saga later, I will add pictures later.
