Graduation, sickness, and the pregnancy blahs
I've come to the realization lately that I am not a very good blogger. 1) I don't take enough pictures and 2) this may be because my life is not very exciting and there is nothing to take pictures of or blog about. Hopefully both of these things will change in a few months when our newest edition arrives. Anyway, last week Weston graduated from BYU. Yay!!! Just 10 more years and he'll really be done! Needless to say, because of the a fore-mentioned fact, he wasn't all that excited about graduation and because he didn't feel a huge sense of accomplishment about graduating we didn't make a huge, grandiose deal about it. Last Friday night we were invited to one of Weston's friend's surprise graduation party that his wife was throwing him. At the party she gave him his graduation present---a MacBook. She later asked me if I had gotten Weston anything...uhhhh a BYU tshirt? Nice. I felt like a failure of a wife until I realized that he would have killed me if I would have even thought about buying him a MacBook or anything that cost over $15.00. Then I felt better. Last weekend was also spent catching the cold of the century. I have never blown my nose so much in my entire life. It is amazing how much mucus has left my body in the past week. Weston caught it too and between the two of us I think we've used about 3 or 4 rolls of toilet paper blowing our noses. Being pregnant doesn't do good things for the immune system apparently because one week later I am still blowing and coughing and sniffling. Speaking of being pregnant, I am not throwing up anymore (thank goodness) but I am now realizing all of the other wonderful things that being pregnant does to a woman's body. I have more zits on my face now than I ever did when I was an adolescent, I can't go into the basement of Weston's parents' house where we live without dry heaving, I have zero control over my emotions, and I am even more impulsive and irrational now than I was before (I know, hard to believe). On top of that, the inevitable has finally happened and I can no longer zip up my pants. My saving grace has been the wonderful invention that my mom discovered called BeBands. they are spandex bands that you can wear around your tummy that hold your pre-pregnancy pants up so you can just leave them unbuttoned. Awesome. I will probably use these even when I'm not pregnant and just bloated. Anyway, Weston just informed me that I am writing a novel so I will stop now. I do have pictures from Weston's graduation that I will post sometime in the near future along with maybe some belly pictures. I'm not sure how I feel about this or if anyone besides my mom even cares what my stomach looks like so we'll see about that one.

No fair, I am still puking my guts out at LEAST once a day if not more! I am glad someone is feeling better though. And I feel your pain about the zits...and getting fatter. I can't wear barely any of my pants anymore...but I wear scrubs every day to work so it's not a big deal. Just on weekends I have to be creative. We will find out the gender of our babies in a month can you believe it??? I can't wait!
I'm with Kyla, still throwing up, although not as much. And I also hear you on the zits thing. IT SUCKS!!! Pregnancy is tough. It's nice to hear that other people are feeling the same way.
Hang in there!! Also, I too would like to see the belly shots.
You know those women who say they feel the best they've ever felt when they're pregnant? What kind of water do they drink? Sign me up, cause i'm definitely in that same group of hormone raging, oily skinned, and cranky women that you seem to be in. But my bella bands do make life easier too and bring a smile on those good days.
I didnt get anything for Bryan either, not even a tshirt. So dont worry about it. Like you said, this isn't the biggest celebration since we still have MANY more years of school!
