Nic Blow Dried My Hair

First, thanks for all your comments on our "announcement" post. It was great to feel loved from so many of you. I always say this blog is for me and my family... just a way to journal and archive some pictures and important events in our lives. But with that being said, I sure love receiving comments from you all. So thanks.

Thanks also for the concern and well wishes. I got a lot of questions about how I am feeling. If you ask me how it has been verses asking Nic, the answer would probably be very different.

I have felt very blessed with how well this pregnancy has gone. It has been better than the previous two. I can function, and function well, when I need to. I have been able to attend all my meetings and activities for YW, all the family gatherings, etc. When I received my calling as Young Women's president I thought there was no way I'd be able to be pregnant and have the calling. However, we felt like the time was right. There were many wonderful blessings when I got set apart and my counselor reminded me that one of those was a blessing of health. I have felt Heavenly Father's help to accomplish the things I need to.

But I also crash when I don't "need" to be "going"... and unfortunately for Nic, he gets me during those times. He has been wonderful. Another HUGE blessing through all of this is that Nic has been around during these winter months to help out a great deal. One day I was getting ready for a baby shower (2:00 on a Saturday), seeing that I was struggling, Nic asked what he could do for me. "You can blow dry my hair," I said, half kidding. But he did! Another time I was ready to hire someone to come clean my bathrooms (because when I did have energy and felt good that was the last thing I wanted to do... I took those moments to play with my kids or make a good meal!). Nic stepped right in and cleaned them. He has been a huge support and I feel his love everyday.

Once I passed the 1st trimester mark I have started feeling much better. I get feeling better and better by the day. Phew!

I am now just over 18 weeks along. My due date is August 5th... which means I am already aiming for the end of July! We have our ultrasound in a couple weeks and are very excited for that! So there you have it. The update. Thanks again for your love and support.
