Scary

Good news... Gordon survived his rotation. He passed and is happy it is over.

Not-so-good news... I've posted how I've been really morning sick with this pregnancy. I noticed last night that I felt better when we went to a BBQ and were out of the house for a few hours. I made a joke that I felt sick within seconds of walking back into the house. "Maybe I'm allergic to this apartment, haha". Well, the last couple days Gordon has been feeling sick too and he basically passed out on the couch this afternoon, even though he finally had a good night's sleep last night. While I was sitting on the other couch I noticed a natural gas smell and joked that maybe we have CO poisoning. Gordon got the CO detector out and it looked ok, but he smelled the gas too. So we called the gas company and it turns out we have a leak! Our maintanence guys are trying to fix the leak now, but this could actually explain why I've been so sick the last few weeks. I've blamed it all on the pregnancy but I usually felt better whenever I'd leave the house. I thought that was just because I usually feel better when I'm being productive... Now we're worried about Miranda and the baby. I am going to call my doctor on Monday to see what they suggest. I think everything should be ok with the baby. I've had minor symptoms, but nothing extreme. It just felt like really bad morning sickness. I have noticed that Miranda is sleeping a TON. I thought that maybe she was going through a growth spurt but she's been sleeping 11-13 hours a night plus a 2 hour nap everyday for the last few weeks. That is not like her. She usually sleeps 9-10 hours a night.

We have all the windows open right now. Hopefully that helps clear some of this out. Maybe I'll even feel better! Hooray for less morning sickness... =)

I posted again, can you believe it?

Gordon will be doing a rotation this next month so he can have February off. I hope everything goes ok on this new rotation. I'll feel really bad if it turns out like this first one did. He is hating life. Today is his last day there, thank goodness! He is really worried about failing the rotation. At this point he has done everything he can, so we'll see how it goes. He has worked his butt off, too. He comes home and does homework all night. It feels like he never gets to see/play with Miranda. It's been almost as bad as a rotation away from home. We're really hoping that this is the exception and not the rule. There are one or two other rotations where he expects a lot of homework, but hopefully the rest are not this bad.

I am happy that we got pregnant so fast, but I forgot how bad being pregnant was. The outcome of pregnancy is great... actual pregnancy is not so great. At least the first half. I am so morning sick (all day long) that all I do is lay on the couch all day. Poor Miranda has watched so much Elmo lately. She loves Elmo, but usually I wouldn't let her watch this much tv.

It sounds like Miranda has woken up. I better go get her and feed the beast. HAHA No, she's actually a really good girl. =)

Almost There

I am so unfaithful to this blog, no matter how much I try. It's hard to get on everyday (or even every few days) to post something when there really isn't much going on.

I went to the midnight showing of Harry Potter last Tuesday. Yes, I am one of those dorks who goes in costume. I LOVE it. haha Brian (Gordon's brother) has a bunch of friends that get together for every HP movie and book. They do a Pot(ter) Luck, which is an all day party and then they get in line like 10 hours early. It's really fun.

Gordon is close to being done with this rotation. He is trying to decide if he should switch his month off and do a rotation next month. If he does he will have February off, just in case I have the baby early. The only bad thing is that the rotation he has in February sounds better to him than the one they offer next month.

Miranda is getting bigger every day. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures to post because I'm writing from the laptop. She has decided she LOVES Elmo. She will dance and get excited when the song comes on. She only watches it for a couple minutes at a time, though. I don't want her to be a kid that watches TV all day, but it would be nice if she would sit and watch something for 30-60 minutes. Free time... Does anyone actually remember what that was? I know I don't! ;) And I really won't know what it is once the next one is born. At least now I do get free time during her nap. I won't even get that anymore since they won't have similar sleep patterns for a long while. What were we thinking??? One kid is enough!! I changed my mind!! HAHAHA

Speaking of "one kid"... I better make her eat. She just sits there and plays with it if we don't feed her. She is still so dependent. Most kids her age get upset when you try to cut up their food and feed them. She'll pick it up and hold it out to us so we have to put it in her mouth. Silly girl!!

Some Good News at Last!

Wow, my last post sure was angry. I am still a little miffed with this place, but we did finally get in on Monday. We were really lucky and a bunch of people showed up from Julie's ward and our new ward here to help us move in. It was great. We got the truck unpacked in less than 45 minutes. Unpacking the apartment is a different story. I had to COMPLETELY scrub a room before I dared to unpack it. I don't expect a place to be perfect when I move in, but it should at least be cleaned. This place was pretty dirty. There were still bread crumbs all over inside the cutting board. ICK! Seriously, I probably spent at least 10 hours scrubbing the kitchen before I unpacked anything into it. I still haven't done the master bathroom, so we use the other bathroom for everything. I guess all this is making it sound like I don't like this place. All in all, it will be an ok place to live. I do LOVE all the space. It's going to be hard jumping back and forth from this three bedroom bahemeth to the 400 square foot mini-apartment back in Utah. haha At least Draper has my parent's house right up the driveway for when i feel too crowded.

Well, I better get to bed. It's now 1:00 AM. I am SO addicted to WoW, it's not even funny. I better get to the point of my post tonight... We found out today that Miranda is going to be a big sister!
