Bright's thoughts

I am so excited! My mom called from work the other day and said "do you feel well enough to travel". Hmmmm, travel where? Travel to WalMart? Travel to Mexico? Travel? I have been feeling pretty good lately. I was really hoping I was over the hump. She told me my SIL called and said they wanted to fly her down for the weekend. WOHOO! My brother and his family have been living in Quatar for 6 months. They are home to renew Visas and will return. SO she asked if I wanted to come too. WOW! I haven't been "home" in about 5yrs I guess. Of course going to Texas at the end of July, first of August isn't the best time to go. Today down there it rained and the high was 103. 100% humidity so it felt even hotter I'm sure. I hope I survive! I will only be there for a short visit, but it will be nice to get away from things here. A get away for mom is always welcomed! I am so excited!

Four years ago I was pregnant and moving. I have been thinking about my pregnancy with Bryan. All the things I did while I was pregnant with him. I was due the end of November, so three months ahead of where I am now. We moved the first week in August. We decided in April that we would move. We set out to get the house on the market. I painted the trim on the house, raised the flower bed rock trim. It had sunk over the years and needed to be raised and leveled. Everything had to be weeded well. I finished the walls in one of the bedrooms, I had put up fabric but it wasn't finished. I did all that! HOW? The only thing I can think of, is I felt better. We painted the great room (vaulted ceilings) I was up on the tall ladder painting until I got dizzy and had to come down. So I know there were moments, plus I was throwing up still. I know that. I wish I had kept a journal. I used to make dolls and even made a doll for my OB before I left. I had my 20wk ultrasound before we left, actua...

I listened to a VERY funny audio the other day, you can hear it at . It is entitled "Left Brain's grocery list", it about 7 1/2 minutes long. I thought it was well worth the laugh. Yesterday, I asked Lindsey to switch the laundry from the washer to the dryer. I was away from home and asked her to go down to the dryer so I could tell her which setting to put it on (I had it on a strange setting from the last load). I tried to explain to her where to look, the left dial and asked her to read them to me. I told her which one to put it on. Well I said the "more dry", she said "there is nothing that says that". We had already determined where on the dial it was. She said it said "VERY" Dry. Okay, that is it. Later I began thinking about her personality and this audio. I can so see her doing that, taking everything so literal. I guess, I need to be more specific in the future. It is a good thing she can't drive yet. ;) She is a fu...

  Katie's is the small one, Dejah's (her 3rd) is the big one     Ever seen a four leaf clover, better yet ever found one? ME niether. My daughters, however have! Dejah has found THREE so far, Katie one. I got to thinking last night if RED clover has more four leaf clovers than the standard green clover. Red has a light green/white on the petal, the flowers are a purple. Red is edible too. Yes, we have tried them, mighty tastey. They would be a great addition to a salad, if you haven't poisoned them that is. When Dejah found her first one, Scott promised ice cream. He took us all the THE CREAMERY ON NINTH in Provo. The girls loved it and Dejah got a double. She couldn't finish it either. So tonight is another ice cream night, tradition I guess. Creamery once, banana splits another time...time again for the creamery. Dejah and Katie get the double this time. Lucky girls!

I had my first Ob check today. According to my dates I was 9w7d (tomorrow would be 10wk). I was bummed when they decided to stick to a 28d cycle. Oh well. I guess it is better to expect later and go earlier??? When I got there they had me at 9w3d, so I was happy when I left with them saying 9w5d...a few day difference. I know I'm picky. LOL! All went well, my blood work looks good, a bit on the anemic side, but everything else great. So that is fabulous! He said he wasn't surprised to see me. Funny man! We talked about the crohn's and he researched the meds I'm on and thinks they are great. Much better than my history of meds, so he is pleased. So am I! We did an ultrasound to confirm dates, that is where I was excited. It came closer to my dates, so I was pleased, more of a "meet in the middle". I saw the heartbeat and saw him/her wiggle all over. A mover and a shaker already. It made it all so real. There is only one, which is a tremendous r...
