Christmas, Valentines and Pregnancy

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!!!!
