Minus the constant throwing up for 5 months, food aversions to everything except for plain noodles, jello, milk, and life cereal... minus the heartburn, minus the complete exhaustion that had me napping in every spare moment, minus the swollen feet that could hardly stand 10 hour days, minus the rib that kept getting pushed out of place that three times had me completely frozen in pain... minus all that, pregnancy and I got on quite well.
Mike may have been slightly terrified that I would turn into a raging crazy face during the 9 months junior cooked in my belly, but to his surprise, I was an absolute treat. (Minus all the above mentioned exclusions.) He told me all the time that I was more pleasant pregnant than non-pregnant, and I agreed. People would constantly tell me at work that "pregnancy agreed with me," and how radiant I looked. My skin never looked better, and it was an emotional success. Win, win, win.
Post pregnancy has not turned me into the raging crazy face that Mike was expecting either. Pretty even and mostly pleasant. I did rely too much on my glowing skin and now I am out of the habit of washing my face at night, and my skin is protesting. Time to get into my nighttime routine again, I guess. It's just the LAST thing I'd like to do when junior is finally down for the night and the house is put back in order.
On an unrelated note, I obsess over decorating and am currently loving these two areas in my mister's room.

| This is Jersey the Rabbit. Jersey has a problem with authority. Mike did a collection of Jersey the Rabbit in his watercolor class for his undergrad. They had to tell a story with a series of watercolors. In the above pictures, Jersey likes to go fossil hunting, hates taking baths, and is embarrassed when his grandma makes him dress up. |

man, i just love you and your whole little family. huzzah for the new blog posts! i love your guts.
Hey man. You should update this here blog.
First of all, I think about you all the time since I live out here. I feel like I'm in your neck of the woods or something. I remember when we were in Paris and I told you that you said "coat" funny and I think we talked about the Minnesota accent and how horrendous it is... It literally hurts my ears and gives me a headache.
So, I'm in Young Womens in my ward, right? We have one girl, so sometimes we combine with other wards for activities. Anyway, we combined on Wednesday and had a beauty night and I just thought about you the whole time. They had a YW teach some make up stuff and it's funny to watch these young girls talk/try to present/teach/be so awkward. Anyway, the girl was trying to tell the model where to look so she could put mascara on her... "Look like... like... just like straight ahead." I thought of you, "look right about at my name tag." And I think it was Pizza Pino. Ah, the days.
Anyway, I have a Canon Rebel T1i. We bought it from Costco and it came with two lenses and a bag. But that was almost 1.5 years ago.
Anyway, when you move to the other side of your state, we should totally see each other. Don't you think?
