20 Week Pregnacy Moment... and more

Tomorrow!  We find out what we are having!  I have had more people  guess boy then girl, and I am kinda thinking it's a boy because we want a girl.  Either way, as long as its human, we will still take it :)

Will's favorite thing to do lately is count my "mood swings".  For those of you who are pregnant, hopefully you understand and it's not just me.  Late at night (like 8:30) you start getting really tired, which means to me at least, I have a hard time controlling my emotions.  Simple things can make me jump from one mood to another.  Will enjoys this and starts counting "that's mood one, two, three..." which in turn makes me even more frustrated as he keeps counting "four...five..." until he sees steam coming out of my ears and finally quits.  The pathetic part is that I know it is how stupid I am with getting frustrated but I still do!  Then, a couple minutes later when I am calmed down and tucked into bed, I relax and laugh about it.  This is a reoccurring event a couple of times a week, you would think I would learn. 

This week I got 3 1/2 inches of my hair cut.  I LOVE it!  I started getting really frustrated with my hair lately and decided I needed to get it chopped, it's been a whole year!  I have this ever going dilemma where I don't like my hair too short, so I grow it, then get sick of it, and like it short again.  But I am never willing to cut it every couple of months, only once or twice a year.  As of now, I love it and I am telling myself I will get it cut again before the baby is born, going one year is way to long for me. 

Projects...

This weekend General Conference was AMAZING!  I love listening to the talks, esp the prophet and always feel like they are directed to me only.  To keep myself from falling asleep during some of the sessions, I did some projects to keep myself busy. 


I made "baked" doughnuts from off of Pinterest.  I think they defiantly turned out looking a lot better then taste.  They weren't very fluffy.  Also, I guess I always imagine doughnuts being sweet, or having some sweetness to them, these didn't have any... so, if I am going to make something that is sweet, I am not making the amazingly healthy version of it because it just doesn't taste very good.  If you make them, I recommend making only the "doughnut hole" version because bite size ones tasted better.  

I received a blanket from a secret sister a couple years ago.  It was a nice lightweight picnic blanket that rolled up easily to carry over your shoulders.  I decided to make one for a friends baby shower, using the "PUL" fabric (usually used to make cloth diapers) for the bottom so it would be somewhat waterproof.  I have been working on this randomly throughout the past couple months and finally finished it this weekend with help from my mom to fix my sewing machine.  Unfortunatly, I was to impatient to wait for my mom to have time to show me how to sew the corners, so I figured it out by myself.  They don't look the best so my friend will have to forgive me, but other then that, I think it turned out pretty good!

19 week Pregnancy moment...kinda late

You know, it's really hard to go grocery shopping when you are prego... because you start to crave EVERYTHING!  Well, on Sat. I was at the store, and decided to indulge in a medium back of peanut M&M's.  So, I bought them, and ate them till there was only about 1/4 bag left.  I KNOW!  Bad!  I made Will take them and hide them so I would quit eating them.  Well, Sunday comes around, and I really want some chocolate, AKA peanut M&M's.  I looked EVERYWHERE!  I could not find them... so I settle for some chocolate chips.  I finish what's let of the bag (not much, I promise :)  Monday... I really want those M&M's!  I look EVERYWHERE again!  Even in the garbage to see if he ate the rest of them... nope not there either.  Tuesday... date night.  After going out to eat, we stop at Sam's club.  We like to "walk around" after eating a TON of food.  Well, there was a HUGE bag of chocolate candy bars!  Will talked me into getting them ;)  I then told him how I have been CRAVING chocolate and I couldn't find those M&M's.  He starts laughing.  We get home, and he pulls out the bag from the hiding spot (no, I still haven't found it, but know what room it's in now) and allows me to eat the rest.  They were SO good!  I didn't even eat any of the candy bars we just bought, even though I am sure those will be next.

I am very glad to say, "I have not craved pickles!"  From what I hear, prego people crave pickles.  I don't like them worth a nickel!  I make Will pick them off because I am even grossed out to touch them (this is pre pregnancy days too).  So, if I start to crave pickles, I don't know what I will do because I REFUSE to eat those nasty things!
