Tired. Oh so tired.


Why is it that so many women say they love being pregnant? I can't stand it!

I guess it's fun decorating the nursery and buying little cute clothes, coming up with names and looking at ultrasounds. But what about the parts that aren't so fun?

Being huge, bloated, fat and gross. Having indigestion. Having two chins. Bad hair when the book says you'll have great hair. Being so tired you can't even keep your eyes open. General laziness. How about the waiting? I mean 9 months!?! Are you kidding me? I've never waited for something so long in my life!

Don't get me started on the headaches that can't be dealt with, back pain and nerve pinches. And I'm only 6 months along!!

What about pushing it out? That won't be fun. The only good part there is that I'll automatically lose 12 lbs. I'm definitely looking forward to that.

How have you all done this multiple times? And why does Heather Hunsaker love being pregnant! Girl, you are crazy!!!! =)

I think people only remember the sweet little baby you get in the end. I am miserable for all 9 months of being pregnant, so you are not alone in that! But when you are holding that little baby, something magically makes you forget how awful the last 9 months were. I think it is a trick Heavenly Father plays on us to get us to continue to have kids. Hang in there!! I totally understand !!- Valerie

I know I am CRAZY!!!!!! I love being pregnant. I only get an upset stomach for the first 6 weeks and then all is well. I know shoot me now. Yes are bodies streched to enormous proportions but it is all worth it in the end. Now I said I like being pregnant I didn't say I liked pushing, yeah don't really care for all that.

I actually love being pregnant as well. I love feeling the baby move inside me (it is much easier to control than when it's outside), I love all the things that you said were fun, but mostly I love that even though the baby makes me really sick for 3 months and then have back pain after that- I am growing something inside of me which is a bonding experience that I have with my baby before they are even born. I get to know their sleep schedule, the strength of their legs, and I feel it in a way that Damien never can. I think that is amazing.
However, my pregnancy experience is a little different, I get REALLY sick, but don't show until later on so I am not uncomfortable until it is almost time to have the baby.
Labor and delivery is not fun, but by then you are so close to the end that you make it happen because of the joy that you'll have once that sweet spirit is in your arms. I pushed for almost three hours with Katie and the whole time I kept telling Damien "I just want her out, I want her to join our family" Plus, doing it multiple times is easier once you realize the joy that comes from having the child in your home. Your relationship with your husband, love for the child, testimony of the Gospel, everything grows once you see your baby for the first time.

you don't remember all the horrible stuff! i'm not one the women that LOVE being pregnant but it is neat to think you're little baby is growing inside you and is so comfy and protected and as for labor...you'll forget all that and do it again too! just try and focus on the good things and remember what a blessing these babies are! hang in there, it'll be over before you know it!

Little Reminders

Every day when I look at Tyler I see parts of Sarah. You can't sit there and tell me these pictures of Sarah don't remind you of certain faces Tyler makes! I hope he always reminds me of her.

Brandt Gibson in a Nutshell

The Amazing Kell Bjorn decided to start keeping track of everything Brandt Gibson said. Here are a select few: “I’m a horse of a different color!” “No Pain…No Pain.” “Nobody corrals me!” “Die!” “But on the other hand, you have different fingers.” “I’m not stressed, I’m not stressed; if you tell me I’m stressed…I’ll kill you.” “I parked around back in the shade, so it doesn’t get 65,000 degrees in my car.” “Yeah, things you don’t want to hear from your bank…‘Oops’.” "You've been tasered!" "Click-click-a-click...booyah!" “Blame it on Kell, it’s all his fault…It was either Kell or Canada and you’re closer.” “Girls just want to have Lu-unch…” “I have been Dudded.” (After receiving some Milk Duds) “Get out of my Chaaiirrr.” (Said with a low raspy evil voice) “Gloria’s here…ruuunnn!” “That is highly possible…just not probable.” “Gift of tongues Kell, enjoy it.” “Revenge is a dish that is best served cold.” “Don't you think? Please use this well. Marriage becomes...

Tyler

We had to sneak in to take this during nap time last week. Any resemblance? He loves to sit in his "big boy" chair. Fourth of July BBQ (on the 3rd of July) in 60 degree windy weather (which is why he has a sweatshirt on).
