IT'S A....

SECRET!!!

haha.

Okay, so it's kinda mean for me to know what I'm having and not share it with the 6 of you...ehem...5 of you, but I feel a little powerful keeping a secret so many people want to know. And I haven't felt anything but nausea the last little while, so let me bask in my new-found power emotion a couple days. I will give you a hint...well, I'll tell you what wives' tale symptoms I've got and you can make the call.

(You'll have to click on the picture to see the list clearly)

So far, 3 people have said boy, and 2 girl.

It was pretty exciting to see a little munchkin actually growing. From the little bean sprout it once was, it now has arms, legs, hands, feet and the cutest little beating heart. On the ultrasound, you could see full on bones and everything. Pretty cool. Our goober weighs 12 ounces now...so explain to me why I've gained 15 pounds?? ugh. It's actually crazy that I'm halfway and baby will grow to more than 8 times the size it is now! And I'm happy to announce, I've been puke free a whole week and counting! That's the longest yet! I hope it's finally gone. I really could go the rest of my life without worshiping a toilet and be perfectly happy, NO, ECSTATICALLY HAPPY!

Ode To My Yogurt

The first time I tasted this yogurt,
I knew I'd found a good match.
It came to the rescue in my time of need
And has helped cure the morning sick patch.

Yogurt I love you, I can't tell a lie
You're kind to my stomach unlike pizza pie.
My first choice of fuel everywhere I do bring
I have yet to lose you to the porcelain king.

My one source of protein has solely been you
For chicken and pig seem to ensue the spew.
You're drinkable, portable, and just plain taste sweet
Dear Glen Oaks Farms, thanks for the great treat!

Quality Entertainment

We have our fair share of funny stories from church like many of you do. With 160 primary age children and over 40 in nursery, not to count the toddlers under 18 months we have a ward more full of rustle than of reverence. One Sunday, a little girl's dad gave the opening prayer and afterward she shouted out, "That was a good prayer Daddy!"
But today, hands down was the best. Although the meeting was great...I kept chuckling over this comment made. The row ahead of us had Grandparents visiting and the next row up was a little girl, maybe 2, who kept looking at this grandpa. She finally whispered something to her mom and her mom just started laughing. She turned around to tell the man what her daughter had said.

"Is that man President Monson?"

Really?!?

So a good friend of mine passed along this cute baby swing to me because her little one doesn't use it anymore and she's done storing it. I was very excited to bring it home and set it up for Brian to see but I think it shocked me more than him! Every time I look at it I say to myself, "REALLY?!?!" There's going to be a baby in there in 5 months!
I've been going through denial about this whole baby thing, except for the fact that my pants no longer fit unless I sag them like a gangsta. I actually asked the doctor because I was feeling a little guilty about my lack of enthusiasm. He said it was normal until you start to feel it moving and know the sex.

What's your guess??

Boy or Girl?

I really just want healthy. Brian wants a boy because all the grandkids on the Arnold side are girls. In fact, all the Arnold's want a boy. No pressure.... Ironically I have girl names I love, but no boy names. I don't know if that means anything, but we'll find out in a couple weeks what this baby's gonna be!!

Confessions...

Okay...I might have eaten an ENTIRE See's Bordeaux egg while watching an episode of Biggest Loser. Darn you Easter Bunny!

I'm usually so motivated while watching that I'll do sit-ups at the commercials but the more they sweat, the more I ATE! Talk about your ultimate oxymoron.
