JeAlOuSy

Ok so first off I just wanna say this post IS NOT meant to offend anyone!! Just some feelings I'm having, and is really just meant to show how blessed we all are. I'm sorry if I come across mean or rude because that's not how I mean this. I would also be a hypocrite to say I have never been jealous of anyone or thing in my life because I have been. But at the same time I realize how petty and selfish I was during those times and now wouldn't give anything to have what I thought I wanted or wished for. It just appals me at what some people can be jealous of, and not realize how it would effect their own life. Now I have been jealous of how people who just got married can have house's or buy really expensive things, but I have never been jealous because someone got married before I did, or because someone is having a baby, or even because they don't follow the standards of the Gospel. (I'm also not trying to pass judgement) I have came to realize in the past year the things that really matter, at least to me, and how blessed I am for everything else. I wish more people could see this!! I know too many people who care about how they look to others, both physically and worldly wise, and not seeing how much they truly have to be grateful for and will say they have nothing. Most of us are blessed with a warm house, cars, more than one way to communicate with others, families that love us, friends, the Gospel, money-even if some think its not enough, and so many others! Yet I see people who have all these plus many more who are jealous because their friends or family members are getting married before them, and then won't talk to them because of the fact. Or people who are jealous because someone they know gets pregnant and then bad mouths them because it might not be the way we were taught to conceive, or for man other dumb reasons. I am so very grateful to be pregnant and think it is such a wonderful gift, but I also think its not something to take lightly! We were married in the temple and did as many people here in Utah and then started a family, we need to realize that's not how everyone ends up doing it nor should we judge them because of it. Something I find comical though, is these people who judge them will also be in fact jealous of it, for very foolish and dumb reasons. Not realizing how a child would affect their life at the time. I know I may sound preachy and I really don't mean to be! But I honestly feel people need to look at their lives and see how many things they have and are blessed with before wishing they had things others have. Not only that but when you are jealous of what someone has don't judge them for it!! We are all meant to live certain lives. Some may lead a life that is full of riches and glam, others may lead one with not so many riches, but all and all neither one is less of a life unless the ones living it make it that way. This may be a little hard for some to hear, but my true feeling is a life with the Gospel in it is the fullest a life can get!! I know I take it for granted all to often. But when you really think about everything the Gospel gives to each of us and the knowledge it brings, what more could any of us ask for?
Again I don't mean to come off Preachy, Ignorant, Judgemental, or anything else. I just want more people to look at their own lives and really look at everything they have and maybe even imagine what it would be like without some of those things before they start wishing for what others have. We are all so blessed, even though we may think other wise.

AnD tHe BaBy Is A...

So I went for my midway ultrasound today and we were able to find out the sex. We are having a baby BOY!! She said everything looks really good, and from the measurements I'll be 20 weeks tomorrow:) My doctor will be the one to decide that for sure next month when I go, but for right now thats what I'm going with! JJ is so excited and a little shocked. But its clear as day that he's a boy. His name will be Kyler Jerry Harris, and is due around the 22nd of April.










20 weeks!! Half way there.

So on Saturday we got to go to the Jazz game. My uncle works for Kfan and was able to get a bunch of my dads family tickets for the game. It was alot of fun, and a great experience for me since it was my first time going. The Jazz played Portland and won by 18 the were never down during the entire game. With about 3 minutes left in the game they called a time out and the Bear came out and had a big slingshot he was using to launch little plush balls with $100 gas cards attached. The last ball he launched came up into our section, I think it bounced off of a guys finger tips and came over towards us, JJ then jumped over me and grabbed it. It took him a minute to realize he had it but once he did he started jumping around. It was so much fun to watch. We figured that was our blessing for talking in church today:) We had a great time and Thanks Uncle Chad for the Tickets!!

JJ with his money ball;)

Also I'm 18 weeks:) I had a doctors appointment last Monday and everything looks good. Stubborn baby wouldn't move to let us see what it is. I luckily don't have to wait to much longer to find out, I have my Half-way Ultrasound on Wednesday!! And I'm assuming in that 20 minutes the baby would move. But I guess we'll see. I just can't wait to know. I still think its a boy, but I'll be so happy either way.

Also I can now give you a better idea of what my belly looks like, my closet has a full body mirror on the door!! I still don't look very pregnant though.

Well first off I'd like to say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. It was kinda a weird day at least for me. I was really sick this morning and achy, so I didn't get to have dinner. JJ went to his families house though and his grandparents had came and also his aunt and uncle. A little later when I finally started feeling better we went over and played some games with them. It ended up being an okay day. And I'm in luck because my mom will be making another thanksgiving dinner on Sunday!
I am also very Thankful for so many things!! For my Husband who puts up with all of my crap and that he provides and protects our small little family. We have now been married for 8 months and it has been the best 8 months of my life. I am also very Thankful for the chance to be a Mother! I am so honored that the Lord would trust me with one of his spirits. I am so Thankful for the Gospel in our lives, and all the blessings and knowledge it brings to us. I am also Thankful for a warm and comfy Home and for all the small little things in it. Also I am Thankful for both of our families and the support and love they give us. Also for food, clothing, schooling, transportation, and all the other little things I take for granted alot.

Anyways HAPPY THANKSGIVING y'all!!!

So I was out shopping yesterday with my mom and grandma and I passed out in one of the stores!! I started to not feel well and my vision went kinda blurry when we were checking out and the next thing I know I was waking up with a pounding head and on the floor. Kinda scary!! We didn't freak out to much, because my mom passed out when she was pregnant with me. However, I have been alittle scared about it ever since. I think it was probably because my blood sugar was low. I've been googling it and "they say" in can be caused by low blood sugar, the baby sitting on blood vessels, or severe anemia and other unknown illnesses. I'm hoping it was just one of the first two. I guess I hit my head pretty hard. I don't remember it though. I do have a shiner and a little bump on my forehead, but other than that I've been fine. I am going to talk to my doctor when I go in on Monday about this to make sure its nothing more serious!! I have never passed out before and I don't like it very much. I just hope everything is ok, and that the baby is healthy. I think that is the one thing I worry about the most. I am so grateful for my hubby!! By the end of last night I was annoyed with everyone wanting to make sure I was ok, and telling me why it happened and all that kinda crap. He came home and wanted to make me food right away to make sure I ate, I didn't let him right at first because I had already eaten so much, but I'm so thankful because he cares so much about me and the baby. When he's home he is always trying to help out and clean something or do something for me and I appreciate it so much. So there is something interesting that happened this week!!

So there isn't a 15 week picture, but I do have one for week 16. We have had a few really busy weeks!! J.J.'s sister and brother-in-law came out last week from Cali. and spent a few days here. We had alot of fun while they were here. She is due with a little girl the first part of January so it was the last time we'll see them for awhile. We will hopefully be able to go out to her blessing in March, but we will have to see how both me and the baby will be doing them, by then I'll be 8 months!!

Its been fun because I can actually feel the baby, especially when its laying in certain spots. I have felt a few kicks, I can't wait for J.J. to be able to feel it. He is so excited about it, I could feel the baby last night and he put his hand on my tummy to see if he could but no such luck. I know he has to get annoyed with me talking about it all the time, and the things I want for it. He has been so great through all of this! I don't know why he's so good to me, especially when I can be so ornery. I love him so much!!

We are also really enjoying our new house and the new to us car. I love being in a house and not an apartment. The car just makes life so much easier, because we aren't scared of breaking down as much.

I go to the doctor next Monday, I am hoping to find out what we are having!! If not, it'll be another 3-4week wait. Once we know I think I'll be alittle more relaxed. I so want to get started on the crafts I wanna do for the walls and things....but I have agreed not to do anything till I know for sure.

These are pictures from my ultrasound earlier today and me at 14 week and 2 days with a little bump. My next appointment is on the 23rd:) The doctor said everything looked really good. It was wiggling so much when we were trying to hear the heartbeat, but it finally settled down and let us!! JJ will also be able to go with me now. They are letting 1 healthy adult come with, so he'll be there when we get to find out what we are having. You really can't tell in these ones, but in the actual picture on top, there is a little white dot in between the legs. White usually indicates the bones, so my mom is thinking it might be some boy parts showing. I'm not quite sure if its that though. My aunt however had a dream, she said she saw this little boy about 2 or 3 that looked like JJ but had my coloring. The little boy was in a swing and was yelling mommy cause he got scared and I was the one to respond to that. So she says I'm having a boy for sure. she also brought me a stroller, swing, and play-yard she used with her little boy. It is all so cute!!

I also have pictures of the house. The front room area is a piece at a time because I couldn't get a good one of it all together. We do have a couple of blankets on the couch and the space heater on the floor so don't mind those things.

I don't know why but the pictures are all messed up!! Sorry!!
