Updates about everything...

I went to the doctor this morning and I am at a "very generous 2" and about 60% effaced. Hopefully this will be a March baby instead of an April one, but either way I don't want her to come for another 2 weeks. I'm 35 weeks now, so anytime after 37 weeks would be great!

Anyway, thanks to everyone for posting their opinions on my last post. It's interesting to see how everyone else's pregnancies have gone. Mainly this pregnancy has been harder emotionally. I feel like I can't do a single thing to control my emotions. They are everywhere. It's driving me insane. For example, if I get really mad I start to cry. How is that logical? Oh wait, it's not. I can't do anything to stop crying, I just have to let it pass. Then it takes me a few days to get over the anger before I can actually do anything about it. I've also had a lot more sciatica this time and it's a lot more painful. So, has anyone noticed an emotional difference in their pregnancies (between boys and girls)?

Last night I went to pick up Brad's laptop from Best Buy. It took a lot longer than I thought it would so while I was gone Brad read scriptures with the boys and got them ready for bed. We have those family scriptures with all the pictures that basically paraphrase the Book of Mormon so it's easier for the kids to follow the story. Anyway, last night they were reading about Christ visiting America and how the people thought, at first, that He was an angel. Kaden turned to Brad and said, "Christ isn't an angel. He's a god." Then he went on for a few minutes about how Christ and Heavenly Father are both gods. I love moments like this when our precious children show us that they are learning.

Aaron was praying one night before bed. It was so fun. He'll be 2 in April and he knelt down and started the prayer all by himself. He was doing awesome and was almost done when the phone rang... we couldn't get him to finish. But it was great to see him kneeling with his arms folded, praying. Usually during family prayer he just runs around playing with random things. Another reminder that he really is learning something even if he doesn't always show it.

Brad is signed up for his Radiography test in May!!! Yay! We're still waiting to hear back from Weber about the Ultrasound program this fall. Hopefully he gets in; it would definitely open up a lot more job options if he was specialized. I am so proud of him though. I don't know how he manages to keep going. He works at 3 different hospitals, plus he has to do 24 hours of clinicals each week and he's a full-time student. Somehow he keeps going and he's doing very well. I absolutely love him and am grateful for all the sacrifices that he makes for our family.
