So, this post has been a long time coming. I received a text message from my baby sister asking me 'if I was still alive?' This pregnancy has been kicking my butt. It has been so much different than when I was pregnant with Lilly. I haven't felt well at all, and it is WAY harder I have discovered to chase around a almost 20 month old than to have a full-time job. Of course I love being a mom, Lilly is growing up so much and doing and saying so many things. She is hard to keep up with, but I sure try. There has been a few times when I have been crying and she looks at me all concerned and wipes at my tears. She is such a light. My sweet husband has been doing his very best to deal with my mood swings and overall lack of energy. He has helped around the house and tried to relieve me in any way he can. He is wonderful and I know I don't tell him enough. My house pretty much looks like an explosion has gone off- repeatedly...But I keep going back to Elder Wirthlin and President Monson's conference talks ("Come What May and Love It" and "Joy In the Journey") and I try to enjoy the toys all over the place and the laundry piles and laugh when Lilly spits out the entire contents of her sippy cup over various places on the carpet!!!! Life is good. I feel so blessed to have another child growing inside me. I want you all to know I love you and I'm sorry I have been out of the loop-so to speak. I can't promise anything beyond that I'm trying. Collin seems to be getting busier and busier and we were both hoping that these last few months of Dental School would slow down, but it is not so. Ah well, he is unstoppable and a constant example to me. I hope all is well with everyone!!!! Miss you all!!!!

Yay! I am glad to read a new post. I'll watch a video a week in case you don't feel up to posting again for a long time. Take care and congratulations!
Oh I am so sorry about the sickness! Let me know if you need some help! We need to get together soon! I also thought 4th year was supposed to be light, but I swear I am seeing Rick as much as I did during 1st year!!!! We definitely need to get together! Are you going to dental olympics?
I check your blog constantly hoping you'll update. I think of you often. In face, I swear I saw you in the parking lot of Costco leaving as I was pulling in. I should have chased you down. lol...Lily is getting SO big and still as pretty as ever. Hope to talk to you soon. xoxo
Scott and I watched all the videos together. They were cute as are we for watching them together...but that is my opinion.
Get better for a little while and come visit. ok? OK!
Who's that spartan in my teepee?
YEAH! Those videos were so precious! I hope you start feeling better soon...I totally understand what you are going through. It is especially hard when you have a busy husband! I hope Lilly is still taking naps for you, so you get to rest. The worst will be over soon! We love and miss you all! Take care.
Okay, so you know you're a mom when you let your baby wipe her boogers on you. I remember Stacy (your cousin) being sick as a toddler and her daddy trying to catch her throw up. When I saw that as a teen I was totally mystified. Actually, I'm still kind of mystified. Grab a trash can, Doug. And Liana...carry tissues! I had some in my pocket for years.
Yea! I new post. I admit I haven't checked in a bit...ooops. Lilly's ring around the rosie is so much more civilized than the boys. Be careful, they will teach her the "ultimate" version when you come to visit NEXT WEEK. Yea again!
wait, HOLD UP. who is visiting WHERE?
Congrats on the pregnancy! How far along are you? Lily is so dang cute and getting so big!
