Hi again, it's me.
I know it's been awhile. I actually wrote a blog post a few days ago but my wifi was mysteriously not working so I never uploaded it to my blog. I took it as a sign. ha ha.
Just a general update for you. Life is pretty good in the Williams' home. Many people that we know are getting married or having babies and the air is full of good feelings. My brother is getting married to a very intelligent, kind woman--and she is beautiful. Inside and out. We couldn't be happier. This next week will be filled with their wedding celebration and I am pleased to be part of it.
Jake has one more final exam and then he will do research for the next semester. I know he is very excited. He will be able to research and work on his prospectus and not have to worry about studying for a test or finishing up an assignment that has been looming over his head. He will be able to go in and work for a fixed amount of hours and then come home and be with his family. A bonus!
Bentley is getting too big. We have a neighbor who is 20 months old and Bentley is nearly as tall as he is. Bentley, of course, is only 14 months, so I am understandably proud of my tall little man. He fills my home with laughter and with baby gibberish. He seems to think he is SO OLD. He talks ALL DAY LONG. He can even say 3 distinct phrases. "Who is it?" "What's that?" and "I don't know" He slurs it all together so it sounds like one word but I have asked him to repeat these three phrases and he does it each time I ask him. What a smarty pants. His vocabulary is getting progressively larger as well. And he is finding weird new things to entertain him. This week he is fascinated by the Mini-trampoline I pulled out and the ice buttons on the refrigerator. He always says "pe, pe, pe!" (please) and points to the buttons. He just wants to push them! Oh, and he is OBSESSED with lids. Milk-carton lids, the lid to the wheat bucket, the bubbles' lid, tupperware, you name it! Apparently it's so cool.
Brooklyn is currently kicking or punching the same spot of my uterus over and over again. She is also getting bigger and I can feel her more and more. My belly seems to be lower and lower. I even had the relief society president pull me aside and ask if she should be worried about me giving birth at any second. I asked my doctor and he said that every woman carries differently and he isn't worried about it. Kind of makes me laugh because he's only seen me twice and I haven't seen any of the doctors enough for any of them to say much about the size or position of my belly. How would they know? The relief society president sees me every week, the doctor has tons of pregnant patients and has seen me twice. He didn't even look at my chart until after I questioned his measurement of how big Brooklyn was--he told me she was 5 lbs. I questioned him, so he measured her again. 3 lbs was his second guess. Hah. nice. Anyway, she's getting bigger. We have about 43ish days until we will be induced.
People joke that I'm ready to get her out of me--usually people who don't know what is going on--but I just smile and laugh. Honestly, she could stay in there as long as she wants.
To be truthful I'm a little moody these days. Call it frustration, call it hormones, call it grieving. I really don't know why. I just feel...sad. Like I want to be sad about something. Or I want to be irritated about something. Every time I start feeling good something has to harsh my mellow and then I am grumpy again. (I wish you were all here right now, Brooklyn is kicking me SO much right now!)
It really doesn't help that I am exhausted. I am so tired all the time. I slept from 10 until 5 this morning, and even slept from 745-900 AM and I have been sleepy all day. I will have to just go to bed early tonight. Maybe i'll get into bed around 9:30 tonight. Ah. Sweet sleep.
Sorry I'm complaining. I know there are people in this world who have things much worse off than I do. :) Life is good. I have a wonderful family. God takes care of us. Don't worry about us. :) we're doing fine.
Family is coming into town this weekend and my mother-in-law will be here on the sixteenth. It will be fun. We're looking forward to seeing her again.
Well, cheers, everyone. Have a great day!
Love ya!
