I'm really not one who likes medicine in the first place, so when I became pregnant I had no problem with cutting it all out. but, as if just to spite my enthusiasm, I experienced an all day headache for the first time in my life just a month ago. and here I sit typing with only one functioning nostril, and just a minute ago it began to bleed (gross, right?). and I realize that I have never before attempted to endure a cold without any medicine.and it is treacherous.

We don't have any Tylenol at home, and I keep forgetting to pick some up while I'm out. A few nights ago I found Baby Tylenol in the cupboard and chewed about 8 of them, to try to reduce my headache and fever, but I don't think I'll be doing that again. it was totally gross and didn't work well enough to make much difference. I'm gonna pick up some vicks vapor rub tonight.

maybe I'll sleep a little tonight.

I've been asked to put together a sacrament meeting young womens program. the theme is arise and shine forth. I think that it sounds so fun and exciting but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little intimidated by this task. I wish I had someone to work with on this. instead I'm kind of flying by the seat of my pants, looking up songs and thinking about if and how to incorporate the young men. figuring out practices with them all to get the harmonies right. wondering how much participation I'll get from the kids. and speaking parts??? am I incharge of that part too?? I'll post how it is going as we get the ball rolling a little bit.

P.S. I am so excited for the new years eve dance coming up!!

I just realized I didn't list any of my baby girl name Ideas. we still don't know the gender yet, but since the boy name is set in stone (a secret stone by Christian's request) I keep thinking up girl names. so far I like these the best:

Mabel Elise (Mae for short)

Dinah Louise

Anne Louise

Clara Anne

Mae Jaqueline

or

Jacqueline Mae

And I jump around between them a lot as to which is my favorite. right now I'm loving Anne the most, but that could Change by later this evening

speaking of later this evening, it's Christmas Eve!

happy holidays

Baby names

I'm making a list of names I love for my baby on the way. They are all girl names, because if it's a boy the name is already picked out. I wish they could identify gender by listening to the heartbeat. Wouldn't that be cool? Yes it would. Christmas is almost here, and I am ALMOST ready for it. I need to pick up a very few things, and I need to wrap everything still.

but I have time.

That's what I keep telling myself.

I need to pull out my camera more often. it's so much more fun to update with images.
