The teeth
Apparently this week is a critical week for the develpment of my baby's teeth. Keeping my fingers crossed on that one. Hoping that it get's Kyle's genes. We downloaded this thing onto our computer that shows what my baby looks like and tells lots of different facts. Its a screensaver. Its been enjoyable. You know its times like this when I realize how selfish I am. I mean, Im so interested in my self. I didnt go to all this trouble to find out interesting details when someone else was pregnant. Plus, I know its different for everyone, but this last week has been really hard. I've had my first morning sickness, and it lasted for the whole week. I felt sick to my stomach the whole time. I feel a little better now, but still. When other people are pregnant, I never really understood the whole yuckiness of it all, so I never really could sympathize. And what makes me think other people want to hear about it all the time?? Im selfish. Well seeing as today's halloween, I suggested watching a scary movie and driving down jingle pot and looking at all the pumpkins. We just might take ours out there too. We invited Evan and Esther to come with us, but I dont know if they will, because there's hockey on tonight. Lame-os.
Hey twins do you remember the halloween song on that tape we used to listen to all the time? It was my favorite song on the whole tape. I dont know if you'll remember it. Martha probably would. It went something like this "Whatchya gonna be on Halloween night? A witch, a goblin or a ghost?!" And it was sung in a scary voice. I wish I could listen to it. Good childhood memories.

Andrea
I dont really know exactly what the chlorophyl pills are. I looked and couldnt find any, and asked the pharmacy about it. The lady asked if it was for prenatal and I said yes. She gave me iron pills, slow release... it says they have dried ferrous sulphate...whatever that means. Anyway, if those are wrong, tell me how to get them!! please?

I dont know
I dont really have anything exciting to write about. Today I woke up at around 8:40 feeling incredibly tired and like I could sleep for another two hours. However, I made plans the day before to go to the gym with Esther to a cardio combo class at 9:15. The more I thought about it, I didnt want to go, partially because I was so tired and also because I went to that class last week for the first time, and wasnt a huge fan of it. Nonetheless, I made a commitment to esther so I dragged myself out of warm cozy bed and went. I got there and there was no sign of her. I phoned (by this time it was 9:15) She said Carmen had just woke up and so they werent ready. This messed up the plan because if Esther didnt go, I didnt have a water bottle to drink from. I was just keeping it in the car, but recently Kyle cleaned the car out and threw it away. I was going to borrow Esther's. The class was too intense to not have a water bottle. So then we decided we'd just do a circuit. I decided to get started on my cardio while I was waiting for her. I ended up doing a full 30 minutes by the time she got there, so I just waited for her. However, I started to feel really sick like throwing up, so that sort of put a damper on the rest of the workout. Oh well. Came home and Kyle and I cleaned the house together. I like it when we can do it together, it gets done way faster, even if I still do way more than him. Now we're going grocery shopping. Woo woo. I dont even know why, he thinks we have no food. I plan on having a nap later.

A Quicky
Relieved at the end of what felt like a long and tiring week. However, my fun has just begun seeing as everyone wants their hair done. Tracy's showering even as we speak so I can cut her hair before the stake conference meeting tonight. Jordan went to the mall today and came home with a surprise. A new church outfit, complete with two matching pairs of tights because tracy likes a good thick tight in the winter. I wish my husband found joy in picking out cool outfits for me. Ohwell, thats not who I married. Work today was fine, until I had a really frusterating client at the end of the day. I dont want to get into it, just that he was Asian and really really picky. Not only that, but I wasnt supposed to have anymore clients and I was excited that I might get to go home early but nope had to cut girly boy's hair. Some men are incredibly picky about their hair- more so than girls, and quite frankly I dont want any of their business. Just give me the laid pack less vain ones. Im SO tired all the time. Just want to take naps.

Stott's-gotta-bot- I like it
And Bethany you are very welcome. The pleasure is mine. IM PREGNANT!!! I bet people are tired of hearing about it but sorry, I am and I love the fact. I just finished enjoying a nice bowl of ton katsu flavored ramen. I love ramen. A nice hot bowl of yummy curly noodles and other surprises. I wish they had a ramen shop here. It seems in this part of my pregnancy I have been enjoying Japanese food. I wouldnt say craving, necessarily but it has been hitting the spot. Ok, so ramen is actually chinese, but I developed a love for it in Japan, and they know how to make it. Yesterday for lunch I went to the Seto sushi place around the corner from my work, and had the cooked tuna roll and miso soup. It was yumzors, to quote a fwuff. Looking forward to sister movie night tonight. Gotta get ready for work.
Ew, just ate a halloween sized caramilk and suddenly came very close to throwing up.

Nappy
I feel like taking a nap, and maybe I will. I have the day off today, and I have done pretty much nothing. I hate to waist the day, but at the same time it's like my body is saying- give me a break!!! Its important to listen to our bodies.
Thanksgiving was really good. Nice to know we are still functional as a family without mom and dad to host the dinner, etc. It was the best thanksgiving dinner I'd had in a long time. There were a few reasons for this. 1) Because there werent that many of us, all the adults actually fit around the table, and we put all the food on the table too. This meant that we were all sitting together, there was no stressful congested buffet in the kitchen and we all ate at the same time. People didnt have to get up when they wanted seconds. Also, the conversation didnt revolve around politics or hockey. 2) It was satisfying to eat a meal that I had a big part of creating, and EVERYTHING was perfectly yummy (not because of me though). 3) I took my time eating and didnt force seconds on my plate because I was full, and despite how yummy everything was, eating even though you're full itsnt good and you dont feel good afterwards. Thats been a hard learned lesson for Sarah on occasions like this. For dessert Tracy wanted to whip the cream by hand rather than search a few cupboards for Mom's beaters. No one agreed with this rediculousness. Afterwards she was complaing how long moms beaters were taking. Like she could have gone any faster with her arm? Silly girl.
Got my fourth coldsore in four days. One in my nose, one right under my nose, one on my lip, and now another is forming on my lip! WHATS HAPPENING. Upon the arrival of the fourth, I called the doctor and made an appointment. I can go in today thank goodness!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
I love thanksgiving. I love family being around and I love love love turkey dinner. This year I realized that turkeys should be eaten more often than they are. Only twice a year? Thats not enough for me. Im going to randomly cook a turkey sometime. Speaking of cooking turkey, this is both Tracy and my first time cooking one. Apparently its not hard though, just have to make sure one gives oneself enough time. They are big birds you know.
Yesterday was a fun day. At work I cut Bri-bun's, Laura's and Bock-summa-glumit's hair. That was practically my whole day at work which equals fun. Then, Amay, Bock-summa-glumit and I played some DDR. It had been a while and so good fun was had. We were all a little rusty, buy we busted some moves. Afterwards was the fun sister time: Katie, Laura, Fwubuli, Fatima and I played consequences which turned out to be a hilarious even and many hard laughs that need escape were finally released. Among the favourite laughs was Laura's- it was a story about Beedin, who was sweaty-faced, with her hair tied in a bow under her chin and enhancing her physique with glued pieces of wooly mammoth hair on different parts of her body. It took Katie three times to get that part out, because we all had to wait for Laura's infectuous high pitched rolls of laughter to stop. They would go on and on and on, each roll identical to the last, everyone was in hysterics. My throat and neck started to cramp from the strain of trying to control my own laughter and stop the tears.... It was a much needed time for me. I love laughing that hard. We also watched a Monsoon Wedding. It was very enjoyable and I've decided that I should watch more Indian movies. I want to go to India and wear a sari and eat curry and naan. I also want to gyrate....
Well, thats my weekend thus far. So far soooo good. But bethany's going home tonight. WHY?!

I know, I know it's been a long time
But give me a break, alright? I just moved. The internet was finally connected today. It's hard to realize how much you rely on stuff like the internet and tv, until you dont have it anymore. Ok, so tv isnt something that you should rely on, but whatever. I like my shows.
Today at work was only a half day for me, and I do not complain. Im finally starting to feel settled here in our new home. I spent my whole day off last week moving and cleaning our apartment, and then I was back to work. There was no unpacking time. Its actually mostly thanks to Kyle that we're settled. I have done some though. Man this house needs a lot of work. Not so much in our basement suite, but upstairs. My only complaint is that our suite is FREEZING!!! I have gone from burning foot syndrome to freezing foot syndrome fast. Our windows arent proper windows, so it's like we live outside. So cold at night and in the morning. I have changed from my beautiful but somewhat light quilt to my thick and not as pretty comforter on my bed AND I have to wear full set of pajamas. So good think I didnt give them all to amay. Last night as I cuddled up to Kyle in bed, my feet groped his legs hungry for warmth. Its weird, he has no reaction to it at all. If the situation were reversed, there's no way I would want someone's freezing cold feet on me at ALL. I said "I cant believe you let me put my freezing feet against you." He said "Well, I love you and i want you to be warm and comfortable." The guy still has it in him. I have been cut off from blog-dom and feel i cant catch up! Still not pregnant...
