Baby Stuff

I have decided to swallow my pride and post a picture of myself at this awful huge state that I am currently existing in. Judge if you will and if it makes you feel better about how you look pregnant or not I am glad I could help. I am feeling pretty good although I feel like I should be having this baby a lot sooner than I am.

These are the issues that I am currently struggling with and if anyone has two cents they would like to throw in my direction I am open to advise.

#1 I am considering splurging a bit and getting a boppy. If you had one did you love it or think it was just in the way and too expensive?

#2 Nursing tops (special underwear Ü). Sensitive issue to put out in the blogging world I know but I would love some feedback on if people liked them or not. I didn't have them with Spencer and have been wondering if that route might make the nursing process more comfortable especially when it comes to being modest. Nursing was a 7 month trial with Spencer and I am open to any ideas to make it a little easier and more enjoyable this time around.

#3 Spencer- I am wondering what I can do to make the process as easy on him as possible. I really only have one person up here in Logan that I would be comfortable leaving Spencer with when it's time to head to the hospital. My mom has offered to come up right away when the time comes but that still leaves a few hours before she can make it and I am a little nervous about what I will do if my one friend, sad I know, isn't available. I know I could call my R.S. Pres she is a really sweet lady but I don't know her that well and more importantly neither does Spencer.

#4 I'm grumpy. Seriously, I am not normally this moody but you know it's bad when I recognize it on my own. Thanks for your patience Scott. After Spencer was born I was so busy with my job and my calling that I never really worried about post pardom blues but I am a little worried about it this time around because Scott will be in school and I will be home alone a lot.

After reading over this post I am realizing that I sound totally inadequate to be a mom of a newborn. I reassure you that we are ready and very excited. I guess the anticipation is making me a little anxious about the details but we can't wait for our little guy to get here. I am so grateful for the chance I have to be a mom. I am so blessed to have wonderful family and friends that care about me and my little family.

I am a Blogging Failure...Happy New Year!

It has been a really long time since I updated and if there is anyone out there still reading this I hope this was worth the wait and thanks for checking in.

We have had a great holiday season. We were able to spend time with all of our siblings and Spencer loved playing with his cousins. I have heard it said that kids are what make Christmas magical and It truly has gotten better every year with Spencer.

Spencer got some great toys from Santa and others that love him. The basketball hoop is a huge hit. Thanks Grandma! Scott even lets Spencer have a turn every now and then. Spencer asked Santa for a big dump truck, with some coaxing from his mama, and his reaction was great he just kept saying wow, wow. Then he had to get in and take it for a ride.

This is Spencers first snowman. It was a pretty weak snow storm but Spencer loved him. Every time we walked past him we had to stop and pat him on the head. Unfortunately I didn't realize how attached we would become to our snowman and Spencer was quite upset when we got back to Logan after Christmas and all that was left was a little pile with buttons on the ground. I think he has recovered and I have promiced him we will be making another soon.

I hope you all had a great holiday season and the new year is good to you. We can't wait for ourlittle addition that is expected to join us on Valentines Day! More posts to come I swear!
