Octo-burr Where Have You Gone?

By -
I've been really cold lately, but that is probably cause I am a wuss (since I do live in Hawaii). 
Halloween has come and gone and now I have an official excuse to be in the Christmas mood. So, what have I been up to you may ask...


Lets start with Halloween. I started celebrating at my Ward Relief Society Halloween Party. We played games, ate too much junk food, and had a pumpkin carving contest. 


Here are all the pumpkins

A cool one to represent BYUH 6th Ward

And the pumpkin Christal and I carved. It got a little sick.




Right outside my apartment
Next we went to a party on Friday night. And Phil and I dressed up as....



 SURPRISE! Did you get it? I was an oven with a bun inside... so yes, this is my official blog announcement that I have a "bun in the oven." :D or if you don't understand that idiom, I am expecting. I am 3 months along, and am doing good. OK, back to the party...


Phil's sister, Lauren, and her husband Felix

Lauren, Me, Jackie

Felix's Mexican Hat dance :-)
It was a really fun party. And the next night we partied with some of our ward members. It was awesome, but I didn't get photos :(


Okay,
Now I am going to go back, a few weeks back. I got special permission from Phil to post these awesome photos of him when he was getting some testing done. 


He just woke up in this picture, so don't mind his expression, but isn't his doo-rag awesome? And he got to carry a sweet side bag.

This is what was under his doo-rag. He had a ton of electrodes glued to his head to monitor his brain activity.


And here are all the cords he had hanging off him. It took while a while to get them out.
So, the good news is that Phil's brain is working fine (I could have told you that, really). He is doing just fine.

Alright, and since I spilled the beans on this post I had to add this photo too. Enjoy! 
p.s. I don't want this exciting info to hit facebook yet (because once it hits facebook everyone and their dog knows), so lets just keep this here ;) Lots of LOVE <3

Learning to Talk

All the pregnancy books say that you should talk to your baby. They can hear you and will start to recognize your voice. I don't know why, but up until this point I have felt plain silly, sitting by myself, or infront of other people, and having a conversation with my stomach. I guess its still hard for me to grasp the fact that there is a baby girl inside of me. Well, this weekend I had a wakeup call. My baby tried to come too early.  I started having regular contractions and my cervix dilated two centimeters. I am 29 weeks pregnant. She's not supposed to come until at least 36 weeks. I watched as my nurses talked to my stomach and thought, if they can do it, I definitely can. I spent the weekend in the hospital pleading with my baby girl to stay put and I prayed to God that if she didn't she would still be okay. My prayers were answered and my baby girl isn't here yet. She's safely waiting in the womb where she belongs. This whole episode has taught me a few t...

What I Didn't Expect

So, I feel like I should be documenting this time of growing (literally) somehow. I mean, pregnancy is after all a significant time in one's life. So instead of writing all the really little things, because there are so many, I decided I wanted to write a list of things that have changed that I didn't expect (coming from a women who is pregnant her first time). I apologize in advance if you are reading and think, TMI (too much info!!!!). 1.  I didn't expect to loose weight, instead of gaining, my first trimester. Of course this is due to the fact that I really didn't have an appetite and couldn't eat before 11am in the morning or after 9pm at night. There were a lot of awful mornings and nights in that time period where I would have given anything to just keep water down. But, ya know, its true what they say, you forget about it. I mean, a month ago I couldn't physically do the dishes or sometimes kiss my husband (unless he took a breath mint) haha, ...

A Hawaiian's First Winter: what and what not to do

By -

Winter is here! And in full force. Phil blames it on me. Supposedly, on the day it started snowing I sang Let It Snow and then it did . :-) Since this is my first real winter (I'm told that an Arizona winter doesn't count), I have been taking it all in: the beauty, the unbearable cold, the shivering, being able to see my breath whenever I walk outside. While experiencing all of this I've learned a few things as a first timer... 1. Don't walk around with slippers (a.k.a. flip flops) in the snow or slush. Not only do your toes freeze, but your pants get soaked and you get pretty miserable quickly. 2. Don't walk under trees with snow in them: they like to wait until you're under them to drop heaps of snow on. 3. Don't park your car under a tree while its snowing pretty hard.  This could happen... luckily it didn't happen to me but I saw loads of people it did happen to.
