~My Forever Love~

Well, I told you all a while back that I was going to do some anniversary and Valentine's kind of post. I only got 6 days before our anniversary and who knows when I am going to have this baby so I thought I better get started writing.

I met my forever love in 1998. I had come to Southeastern Kentucky in 1996 for a job. I felt so lonely here that I tried to apply for jobs to get closer to my family. None of the job interviews seemed to be working out for me so I was a little down and felt like I was going to be alone forever. Thought to myself at the time that the Lord must want me to stay here for some reason. That was in the summer of 1998. I started teaching seminary again in the fall. We had a couple missionary that started planning a lot of single activities in our branch. We really did not have many singles but every Sunday we had a singles potluck meal. I guess that is the first place I met my dh. He had just started coming back to church for about 5 months. Well, anyways, I wanted to get to know him better, but he was really shy! So, anyways one day I was going to my car and I stopped him and I asked him if he would like to go out sometime and that I would really like to get to know him better. He took my phone number and said he would call me. I thought to myself he will not call me. I was wondering when I got so brave, but something in me knew that it was what I was suppose to do. I really do not think my dh would have ever asked me out! Anyways, he called me the next week. We went to a Chinese restaurant and got to know each other better. I knew on our first date that he was going to be the man I was going to marry! I just felt it. So, after our first date, I had to go to South Dakota on a trip for work. I missed him so much. I sent him a postcard. When I got back we went out a couple more times. Then at Thanksgiving, I went to visit a friend in Salt Lake City. That was when I really spent some time praying about my feelings. I was able to go to the temple several times. (I like to temple hop when I go out west since we have such few temples here.) I called him one time while I was there because I was trying really hard to know what was right. I got back and went to teach seminary again. The missionaries had been hanging out with my dh quit a lot. One of them asked me about how things were going with dh and me. I told him that I thought I was suppose to marry him. The missionary said I have only one thing to say..."Things are not going to move as fast as you want them to." Well, I really did not know how to take that. My future husband sat with me at church, called me etc. Well, early December, my dh was going to the temple to get his endowments. I told him I wanted to go with him. (I had already been to the temple) So, we went on that trip. I really think that it was that trip that we both knew we were right for each other. I truly fell in love on that trip and I think my future husband did too. In fact, when we went through the temple the second time, we were asked to be the witness couple. I was so shocked since we were not married and it was only the second time that my dh had gone through an endowment session. Once again I felt the spirit so strong that this was the man I was suppose to marry! The next Sunday, we had a RS/Priesthood lesson on Temple Marriage. I felt the spirit so strong during that lesson! My future husband came over to my apartment that night. We were talking about the lesson and I asked him what he thought about it. He said that would be another special day for him. I asked him if that day might be in February? He looked at me kind of crazy. I told him that I wanted him to be my husband and the father of my future children. He said are you asking me to marry you? I said yes, but you still have to ask me. I remember him crying like a baby! He got on his knee and asked me to marry him. So, we were engaged and decided to get married in February! I am so glad that I was finally given the opportunity to find my forever love. My patriartical blessing said I would marry in the Lord's temple in God's time. I wanted God's time to come sooner, but I can see now how when I finally met my dh that it was the right time.

Tomorrow, I will tell you about our wedding......

Sick!

Well, today we got up and all of the kids are sick with fevers and colds and my oldest is complaining of body aches. The flu is going around real bad so that could be what is wrong with them? I will have to take them to the doctor tommorrow. Ugh I hate when everyone is sick and I do not fell great either.

10 more days!

Wow! I really can not believe that it will only be 10 more days until this baby comes! It has been a long hard journey for me, phsyically! I know that is will all be so worth it when I get to hold my baby. My dh will be announcing the birth to my online friends on this blog. I hope he will also have some pictures for all of you. I just cannot believe I have made it this far. I have really had good doctor care! I will be almost 38 weeks when I have this baby so no premature stuff to have to deal with hooray! I am going to try to rest more the next couple of days, but I still have a few things planned because if I did not, I really do not know how I would make it!

WFMW Freezer Apple Pies

This is the first WFMW that I have been in. I love all of your ideas and thought I would add one of my own.
I got 2 bushels of apples given to me at Christmas. The first thing that came to my mind was a recipe that a friend gave me several years back called Freezer Apple Pie. She would make a whole bunch at the holidays and give them away as gifts or use when she had to bring something to holiday parties because it was quick and easy! Well, I made 12 pies at Christmas and it really was EASY! I have had pies to pull out reall quickly when I needed something for a potluck at church and even gave a few away for the Holidays!

Freezer Apple Pie

4 cups sliced apples
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 (9 inch) pie shell
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter

Toss the apples, 1/2 cup sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Place in frozen pie shell. Mix the flour, 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl. Cut in 1/3 cup butter until crumbly. (I used a pastry blender and it made this so easy!) Cut 2 tablespoons of butterinto pats and place on top of the crumbly mixture. place in a 1-gallon freezer bag. Freeze until ready to bake. Remove from freezer bag. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake for 40 minutes longer. Yeild 6 servings.
Some pictures of the frozen and cooked pie are on the top of this post. Hope you all enjoy!

Feeling a little better

Well, I am feeling a little better today. The heating pad worked wonders on me last night! I am going back to the chiropractor tommorrow too. I am having lots of trouble walking and even sitting. I am trying to take care of the twins. Thank goodness they are so good! I am having trouble lifting Nathan though. I am also trying to do some laundry. It has been challenging, but I am getting it done. Only 13 more days!! Woohoo!

Something is happening!?!?

I woke up at 3 am today and my back was really hurting. I got up got some water and ate something, and even laid back on my side but the pain still would not go away? Right now I am still having it. The pain is just there and it is really hard to tell if these are contractions or not, but they are hurting and it is different. My dh went to school but I can call him in a second. I think that when he gets home at lunch time I may just go to the doctor. I just repacked my hospital stuff and everything is in there except my bathroom stuff, I think. Also packed a diaper bag for baby. I guess I am ready?? I read on line about false and real labor and it says that it usually does not start in the back so I am a little confused now. Because I really thought these might be BH contractions. I was told that the position the baby is in usually does produce back labor pains. Oh my, they are weird! Well, it is 9:30 am and dh is calling me back at 11:30am to see if I want to go to the doctor. I just hate going and it be nothing, but I really feel like sometihing different is happening and that is what I went with with the twins and I was right, even though they were very mild contractions when I finally had them. So, now I am just going to wait and see for a little longer anyways. I'll keep you all posted!

I want "ME" back!

I know people on my message boards are tired of hearing my complaining, but this is my place, I can complain here right? I am miserable! I guess I am in that stage of pregnancy that I am suppose to feel that way, right? I just want to go back to being ME! Yes you read that right, I do not feel like ME right now and I want that back! I know all of this will be worth it when I am holding my baby in at least 15 days :) But, right now it just is not fun. lol! I remember getting to this point in all of my pregnancies, just a little bit depressed. I thought the other two times were because I was on bedrest, but I am not on bedrest and I still want ME back! My blood pressure is staying good, with meds, but my feet and legs are so swollen everynight that I just do not feel like doing anything. I just want to cry! It does not help matters that I have had a really bad cold for about a month now! Went to the doctor again today and got another antibiotic. My throat is so sore that I can barely eat. Been eating a lot of Chicken Noodle Soup! So, maybe that is what is dragging me down so. Dh stayed home a lot last week and helped me, but you know he just can not do things like I can or want them done, but I just had to let everything go. My livingroom has been what is really bothering me. DH will not even touch that area. I made a goal for Smart Saturday Habit to do 10 mins at night, but that really is not working because I feel so bad at night time and my feet and legs are so swollen so I have had to modify my goal for now. I am doing 2 10 min pickups with my kids bringing me everything. Bending over is just about to kill me. It still is not as clean as I want it but it is better. I also am so tired but can not sleep? I hate that feeling. And when I get to sleep, my hips go numb and I got to try to figure out how to turn to the other side and it is not an easy task, believe me. Funny how we forget lots of this stuff that happened with other pregnancies, I guess we would not get pregnant again if we remembered all that stuff. Anyways, I know my time is getting soon but I just want ME back and soon. Nobody ever told me waiting for something for 15 days would be this hard. Sorry for the negative post, just how I am feeling right now. :(


BTW, I think my dh, kids, and friends want the real me back too!

SMART Habit Saturday-10 minute toy pickup

I did really good last week making my bed. I had one day that my ds came in our room at night and peed in my bed so it got done late, but it got done. So, I think this week after the kids have been put to bed I am going to take 10 minutes and pick up all of the toys in the livingroom. Acctually it is the playroom. I think that doing it 10 minutes will be so much easier than waiting at the end of the week and it taking a whole lot more time. So, that is what I am going to work on this week. I did reorganize toys about two weeks ago and got rid of a lot of stuff! So, that has also made it easier to deal with.

My music selection...

Some of you may have noticed that I changed the music on my blog and my be wondering...Why did she pick that? Well, it is about LOVE and Valentine's Day is on the way, but my anniversary is also FEB 6th and that song was "our" song! During this special time of year, I am going to be posting some LOVE kind of post. Like how my dh and I met etc. So stay tuned! :)

American Idol

Well, I got into AI last season, but I only watched when about the last 15 or so were competing. I never watched the auditions. Well, I watched them the past two nights. Wow, does that give me a different take on the show. I have to say that some of the people really made me laugh! But I also wonder what in the world some of the people were even thinking coming on there? Most of those people really thought that they were just so good! When they were told they were not, it just about killed them. I really think that Simon and Randy went a little far on a lot of comments they made, but they were the same when I watched them last season. Randy told that one guy who taught voice lessons he needed to give all his students back their money because he did not know what he was teaching and when Simon called that one guy a monkey...well he did, but man to tell someone that. I know, I know that is what the show is all about. It gets people laughing and keeps people watching. I could not believe that Amish guy that came on there and had never watched the show because he does not even have a TV. I thought most Amish did not believe in the arts (like painting, reading, and performing arts), so I guess that was why I was shocked to see him. Well, I did like several of the people. I really like did the brother and sister. I will enjoy seeing what they do. Anyways, I guess I am hooked on the audition part now too. Anyone else watch? What did you think?

Hooray for a day!

Well, today at the doctor he scheduled my c-section. It will be February 6th. But, he did say if not sooner. So, I guess there is a possibility that I could go earlier. You know what though...I hope not. I would love to have a baby that is not considered premature. That does not have to be stuck with iv's etc. My dh would love to be able to plan around work too! So I am hoping I can go that long! Dh has been stepping things up. On his nights off he cooks dinner and cleans for about an hour. I take a nap! It has been so nice! Some of you know that he works at Walmart and he is only working Friday-Sun for the next three weeks. He really wanted to take some time off, but they will not let him because he has not worked there for more than 1 year. I really have nobody else to help me either, so he is fighting with Walmart right now for two weeks off for my c-section(he has to take care of the other kids while I am in the hospital!) and for my recovery. So, knowing the date will really help him!

A friend of mine from a message board I visit, Jenn, who is on bedrest with twins, had a really great idea that I think I am going to use! She set small goals for herself and made a chain out of papers and put one up for each day to help her son understand how long she would be on bedrest and he got to take the links off each day. Well, I think I want to do that, but on each link, I am going to write down one thing to do that day to get ready for the baby...I do still have a few and hopefully it will make the time go faster! Thanks Jenn for this GREAT idea!

Hooray! I have a day to look forward to!

Sickness

Kate got a high fever yesterday. The funny thing is I could not find anything wrong with her. She is just clingy and whiny. So, I took her to the doctor today and she has a UTI. Poor thing, they took blood from her for the first time. Anyways, we go to a clinic that has a ped. and a regular family doctor, so I had them check my bp and it was 138/82. That is so much better than Friday when it was 160/80. So, I e-mailed my doctor (that is the only way I can get a hold of him) I asked him if I could come in on Friday instead. With Kate sick and my dh going to school for his first day for some classes tommorrow and my bp doing so much better. I just hope he's okay with that and can get back a hold of me. I am also very grateful for all of the prayers! My bp really does look so much better.

Congratulations!

Well today my dh went back to school for his second semester. Going back to school has been something he has wanted to do for a long time. Sometimes, I have felt like I have been the one to stop his dream. He worked really hard last semester. Going to school all day and not coming home most nights until 11 or 1 am! I really do not know how he did it? I do not think I could have done it and I have a college degree! Well, I know he thinks that I did not notice, but I am very proud of him and made this post just to congratulate him on making the dean's list. I hope his next semesters are as great for him!

Smart Habit Saturday

Here is Lara's (The Lazy Organizer) explanation of what Smart Habit Saturday is all about:

SMART Habit Saturday is all about making one small change in your life at a time. Pick one daily habit that you want to start, post about it (please link back to The Lazy Organizer) and then leave a link here so that we can all check up on your progress and give encouragement! Next week you can post an update and a new SMART Habit if you want or just keep working on this week’s habit for 21 days. Don’t forget it takes 21 days to make a new habit so you’re not off the hook at the end of one week. You have to keep working on it!


Well, I decided to join in this after reading Kara's (A Bit of Me) neat things she was doing. I think I have only missed one week so that is not too bad. First off, I am not going to be making any big, hard goals right now. As some of you know, I am 34 weeks pregnant and my doctor does not plan on me going any farther than 36-37 weeks and right now I am having blood pressure issues and could have to go to the hospital next week. So, I am going to start really small!

First, I want to tell you why I picked this goal. Last week my dh helped me clean our room. We are going to start our nursery in there because we really have no where else to put the baby. I have a 7 year old and 2 year old twins occuping my other rooms. Anyways we got 6 garbage bags out of the room, two large boxes to give away, and 3 laundry baskets of clothes to go through. It took us a whole day cleaning in there and I worked part of another day just on the clothes. It had actually became my junk room! No joke! It looks so nice in there now! :) I can see my floor, bed, and nightstand table! And I really do not want to spend that much time in there again. So, I am going to start off small and make my bed everyday. I used to do this and it made me feel so good everyday! But after it became the junk room, I just left it there. I have also heard that a clean bedroom will help you sleep better. Well, that might not happen right now, as I am having lots of problems sleeping with this over 5 lb baby inside me, but I really think it will in the future and with this being my starter nursery, I really got to keep it cleaned and organized or I will go crazy! So, that is the goal I am going to work on for this week.

Also, I did this kind of thing with another group I was in, although they set the goals for you (I like this better!), and they had a great idea that helped me and I think I am going to try it again. It kind of helps you see getting the job done! I have a calendar on my fridge and when I finish the new habit each day, I am going to put a star sticker on there. As I add new habits, I just change the color of the star as I put them on there. I know this may sound kind of childish, but it really helped me last time so I am going to try it again!

Here is my bed and yes I made it today!!!

My doctors appointment

Well, tommorrow I will be 34 weeks. I delivered the twins at 34 weeks and my oldest at 35 weeks. The doctor has me very worried. He is worried about my blood pressure. It was 160/80 today. He likes the bottom number but not the top number. I am on the highest amount of med that I can be on at home. So, I have to come back next Wednesday and get it checked again. If the top number goes any higher, then I will go to the hospital. He actually told me to bring my bag. So, now I guess I am worried! On a good note, the baby's heartbeat was 149 and it weights 5lbs and 7 oz. That actually makes me feel better. Kate weighed a little less than that when she was born. Anyways that is my news from the doctor. :(

Deep Thoughts Thursday

Well, after reading some blogs about people with tough decisions, I decided to ask myself the question, What has been the toughest decision you have ever made in your life?" After giving this some thought, I thought of a few, but one stood out and I want to share that with you today.

In 2004, we found out that we were going to have another baby. This was really good news after trying to have another baby w/o success for 5 years. We went to the doctor when I was about 6 weeks because I was feeling so bad. They sent us to ultrasound first and I will never forget that moment! The technicin asked us if we had twins in our family. I said yes but you are not telling me we are having twins. I have twin sisters. Then I looked and saw two dots. Yes, we were going to have twins. At about 5 months, my doctor recommended moderate bedrest and suggested that I stop working because my blood pressure and the stress levels at work were just not working for me. So, I went on Family Medical Leave and stayed off work until October of that year. My dh and I had been talking about me staying home with the babies and not going back to work at all. This was a very hard decision because my job paid the most money and provided great benefits for our family including medical benefits. I continued working after my first baby and felt great about that decision, even though now I got some issues with what my son got out of daycare! So, after lots of prayer and deep thought we decided that I would stay home with the twins. I remember being so worried about how things would work out and a scripture from the BOM kept coming to me. When Nephi was going to get the plates and basically (I not great at quoting) but if we do the things we are asked, Heavenly Father will prepare a way for us to accomplish that thing. We have been counseled as mothers to stay home if at all possible and the Lord had given us twins so I went on faith that my HF would prepare a way for me to stay home and take care of twins. Well, somehow that has all happened. I really have not had a need that has not been taken care of. Even some of my wants I still get to have. I really do enjoy staying home, but I do miss my old job tons. I remember the going away party that my office gave me, I cried so hard that night! I do not think I will ever forget that. But I have had the confirmation that I am doing what I am suppose to do. Believe me when I say it has been a sacrafice for my family for me to stay home, but I know that I am doing the right thing. I know my children are being taken care of and I am happy!

So, that is the hardest decision that I have ever had to make in my life.
Want to have a deep thought Thursday with me and share the hardest decision you have ever had to make in your blog? I'd love to read about it.

TALK

I hate that dreaded word! I have not given one at church for a long time! The last one was right after the BOM challenge and I was asked to give a talk about The importance of the BOM, which was a really neat talk for me, so maybe this one will be the same? Anyways, last summer until October of this year my dh and I taught the marriage and family relations class put out by the church. This class is actually for anyone who is married or planning on getting married. Some people think that it is just for people with a troubled marriage, but that is really not true! There were so many useful things in the class that any marriage could benefit from hearing. So, now I just got to fiqure out what I want to say about it. I am planning on giving a brief overview of the class: what it is, who it is for, and even some of the topics it goes over. He asked for that in the talk but he also wants to know how it helped our marriage and what we got out of it. That is going to take a lot of thought. My dh wants me to talk about what it meant to me as a mother and he wants to talk about what it meant to him as a father and even go over a few principals that were taught about being a mother and a father. I really think that that is what it helped us with the most is being better parents. And by doing this, they get some small lesson about being parents. I actually kind of like that. I just hope that I will be able to talk. I have really been struggling with this cold. Anyways, better go get working on it. Thanks for listening to my thought process as I get ready to write this talk. Wish me luck.:)

Thoughts

Well, you saw my to do list for this week. I have gotten none of it done. :( Actually I have been pretty sick! I have been feeling bad since last Wednesday. My chest hurt and I had a cough. Well, today dh was home and I made him take me to the doctor. (Would of taken myself, but I really do not like driving in the snow!) Anyways, I went and I have an upper respitory infection. My throat is sore and I am coughing a lot! Pretty much though I can not take anything for the cough because of being pregnant so I have been using hot liquids and they do help some. My muscles hurt so bad from coughing! After we got done from the doctor, dh wanted to go get his books since he starts school next Tuesday. Which is another reason I wanted to get that stuff done this week because I would have his help. Well, we got home at 6 pm. We played a game with Nicholas. It was Monooly Jr. Kind of a different twist on Monopoly. I liked it but felt bad and wanted to go to bed. We all went to bed at 8:30 which could explain why I am up at 2:30. I was so hungry and need some more hot liquids. Well, with all of this sleep maybe I can get some things done tommorrow while dh is still home. I sure hope, but where I have been sick my regular stuff is also getting behind, so I am back to doing that again too. So, anyways that has been my week so far! Hope you alls has been better.

My 7 year old and church

My 7 year old has really good friends at church. He has been crying for weeks because all of the "big" kids get to move up into the valiants class. There were no other babies born in our branch the year he was born. He was in nursery all alone the whole time, so all of the other kids are lots younger or several years older. He has been so upset. Well, he told us he refused to go to the "baby" class. During sacrament on Sunday one of the "big" kids got up and bore his testimony and talked about how they felt like they were leaving Nicholas behind and they included him in there testimony about becoming missionaries and how they wanted to be like Nicholas because he really wanted to be a missionary. He hoped Nicholas would continue to be such a good example to the "little" kids in the CTR class. This really helped Nicholas and was an answer to my prayers! He went to his class without a problem.

Weekly to do list

Annoying!

Another pregnancy condition that I will be so glad to get rid of! My hands tingle all of the time! I hate it. When I use the computer, drive the car or try to sleep I just have this tingling in my hands. My doctor told me it was from all of the extra fluid in the body during pregnancy. Weird how I never had any problem like this with my other pregnancies. My doctor also said it happens in peoples feet too, so I guess it could be worse?

Anyone experenience this while pregnant? My doctor says it goes away after delievery. I can't wait! It is sooo annoying!

Finally!

I have finally figured this place out a little with a lot of help from my dh, who got very frustrated too! But finally, I have my new look for my blog! Hope you will enjoy. I hope you will enjoy reading about my stitches in time and my memories of a lifetime.

Belly Shot-32 weeks

Well here I am at 32 weeks pregnant! I really do feel like 40 weeks! lol I have never made it to 40 weeks so how would I know what it feels like. The baby has dropped and I am having a ton of pressure! I am using a maternity belt and it has helped a lot. Just sitting in a chair is killing me. i really do not think it will be long! Yes, I know I need to keep it in longer, tell that to my body! Anyways, I feel pretty good other than the pressure which is making it harder to get things done. I am putting together my "nursery" this week. Well a place in my room. I also have a baby shower on Saturday that I am looking forward too. Well, anyways enjoy my fat picture, oh I mean my belly shot!

Really Excited About This Week

Well, I thought it would be so nice since dh is off school, but it seems that Walmart has been working him so much more now that school has been out. I still have felt like I have not seen him. He got his schedule for this week and just about flipped out! He is off Tues, Weds, Thurs, and Saturday. He has the same hours as always too. DS goes back to school on Weds. So, I am hoping for some family time now that he gets sometime off work. Horray! And since dh is home, he can help me get this blog looking so good!
