In all honesty I forgot I had a blog. I even forgot I had a second blog mostly about running. It took me forever to even remember what it was called. I had it completely private and shut down to comments and the like. I have so many posts that I haven't ever published and as I went back and read them I saw some of the beauty in my life and my own soul which I feel has been greatly lacking lately.<br />
<br />
We now have 4 boys and if you know any boy moms be extra nice to them, it seems if they are not outside or entertained 24/7 they resort to destruction. I've tried everything. Currently it's the end of Christmas break. We have been sick the entire time. The baby is sleeping and I told the kids to watch as much TV as they want but leave me alone. I know real responsible but you try being cooped up with the ruffians for 2 weeks straight. It's a good thing they are cute because the crusty strep sores on their face are repulsive and the medical bills aren't cheap. They have their good moments and they make me proud when they aren't killing each other but wow! One of our old neighbors used to tell me the horror stories of his life with 2 brothers. Pushing each other out windows and bloody fist fights and the like. I asked how his mom is and he said crazy. So ya my odds aren't looking so good.<br />
<br />
Honestly life was pretty unchallenging for me for a long time and I feel like it dulled me down to a boring nothingness. Now I have so many challenges that as I sit here to deal with them I have no clue where to start. So I want to talk about what I love.<br />
<br />
I love the summertime when it's warm and there are endless possibilities for adventure. I love the mountains and how ominous and strong they look also full of adventure. I think I'm missing adventure in my life. I'm trying to view my current situation as an adventure but today it feels more like a prison that I'm going to have to make monumental feats to overcome and how do I go about doing that? I'm sure other people are going through way harder challenges than I am, but today mine feel like mountains.<br />
<br />
I broke my ankle two months ago on the 7th. My running which seemed to be the main source of my happiness (yes, I see the problem with that) seemed to be finally paying off. After all the cycles of having kids and newborns and gaining and loosing weight, I was feeling stable and getting back to where I was before the last kid. I had an amazing running support network that I spent lots of time with running and play dates with our kids. With that gone I focused on spending time with my kids and eating healthy. I'm back up and running and not doing too terribly. We had a lovely Christmas and then so much piled on top of me that I feel like shutting down.<br />
<br />
I once had a dream that has always stuck with me, I was super young. I dreamed I was at school and it ended, I followed a group of beautiful children up a mountain, we were scrambling and climbing and it was so hard but when we got to the top I entered a home overlooking the ocean at the edge of a cliff. The view was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. A woman greeted me with so much love in her beautiful eyes and a warm hug, she told me the children who make it there never give up, they keep trying every single day no matter how hard it is. I decided right there to always keep trying no matter how hard because of that feeling at the top. I've thought of the meaning of this dream many times in my life. Mountains always seem to be a theme of my dreams that I remember. Last night I went out with some friends I was lamenting my feelings to one of them, she said the people who are successful never give up and it reminded me of this dream and to NEVER GIVE UP!<br />
<br />
If you know me or have run with me, you know I run faster uphills than level or declining ground, I know it's crazy, I'm not sure if my running friends love me or hate me for it but most have commented on it. <br />

So I'm hoping these hills or mountain challenges are what I need in my life right now to help me pick up my pace and keep climbing those mountains, I can't wait to see the view from the top.<br />

This is where I grew up. Where my first memories of chasing fireflies, my brothers setting off illegal fireworks, digging snow tunnels, watching lightning storms, and discovering the new and the old, the natural and supernatural that life has to offer began. Sometimes I think I would like to live there now. I could take my family to these same places that I adore in my heart on the weekends. I could push my babies in a jogging stroller along the Santa Fe trail.<br />
<br />
If you are a runner, correction if you are a distance runner you must know of the Sata Fe trail. First of all, I don't know if I could run it now without weeping. I would run there almost daily, every inch of it is filled with the hopes and dreams of my 18-20 something self. Initially I would drive on to the base, park near the high school and run North. Then one year after 9/11 they tightened up security, for a while they would let me on but things got stricter and stricter, forcing me to find an new start point. So I ventured to the Woodmen exit and ran North, or to the North Gate entrance and ran North or South. I love every inch of this trail from Palmer Lake to a bit South of the Woodmen exit. Sigh... I wish I had pictures. There were horses, train tracks, pioneer graveyards, forrest, lakes, planes, deer, snakes and bears.<br />
<br />
While we are on running trails, Waldo Canyon loop was one of my favorites, I've heard that it burned down and is still closed currently. It was a 7 mile loop of sheer beauty, wonder, and awe. Also there is the incline, the old rail road up Pikes Peak, that exercise extremists have made into a strange thing that you do, I've even heard other towns making fake inclines. When I was in excellent shape I ran it, when I wasn't I walked it, some day I still dream that I will make the record time up it. When I used to go it had a no trespassing sign, not sure how it is anymore.<br />
<br />
While we are there near Pikes Peak and Manitou Springs, I will tell you about Gold Camp Rd, back in my day we would go there at night. I knew just the right boulder to watch a lightning storm from. We would also go to the tunnels and put your car in neutral. Legend has it a school bus of kids died up there and they will push your car out. There are also tunnels now closed, and hiking up to them at night proved adventurous and sometimes creepy. Manitou Springs is knows for its witch population and we would often run across some rather interesting people. Gold Camp Rd was also a make out destination, so I wouldn't recommend shinning lights in any of those parked cars.<br />
<br />
Manitou itself has some cool places. From the natural healing springs popping out of walls to taste to the Miramont Castle. My favorite memories are again, at night, wandering around, popping into grand historic building and exploring every inch of them.<br />
<br />
The Broadmoor, we enjoyed walking the lake as a family, I remember bushes with tunnels that I enjoyed crawling through as a child. I loved stopping in the Olympic Ice Arena and watching figure skaters train. As I got older, I enjoyed exploring the architecture of the building as well walking around the lake.<br />
<br />
Starr Gideon Kempf, we happened upon this one night with my oldest brother. Google Starr Kempf, he made these amazing huge metal sculptures that move gracefully with the wind. That first night I remember a bird that moved over the edge of the fence. I had no idea it was such a heated topic when we discovered them. Once again I enjoyed seeing these at night. I loved ogling over the fence at them. That first night we went I remember someone yelling at us and after researching the topic online the other day it turns out that many of the artforms have been removed or laid down on the ground, which I think is really sad, but I guess it boils down to an uncooperative daughter.<br />
<br />
The Punch Bowls, another place that may have burned down. It was the most magical place to hike down to and camp or sit atop of these bowl like waterfalls and see the stars in their bright light. Well it almost looks like I should name this blog post top things to do in Colorado Springs at night. So I will leave you with a couple more things to do at night. A trivial thing we never quite accomplished was projecting the bat signal onto the kissing camels, try as we might we could not find anything thick enough and big enough to be long lasting, although I do remember partial success one night, credit for that awesome idea goes to Natalie Bogoini. My last night memory I will leave you with tonight is the bridge over I-25 by the art museum I think it is, I don't know, I just know where it is. It had a quirky park next to it, but if you lay on bridge just as a semi drives under it, you are in for a rush.<br />
<br />
Well I'm too tired to go back and edit, this night spew of memories, it anyone is still reading enjoy, if you are from Colorado Springs you will probably enjoy it more.

Lately I've been thinking about directions. I've done this run a few times before, it's called Forrest Hollow it meets up with another trail called, Boy Scouts and comes back in to town. I have always done it with more experienced people, and I generally float along following their directions. I thought I knew it well. I even studied it at 3am the night before so I wouldn't get TJ's sibs lost when I took them. However, I studied the wrong part because this was the part I least thought I would get lost on. It's the part I was most familiar with, but that made it all the more trickier, because I had done so many different routes once I had gotten to this section. I also should have known since I was running with Lisa that we would get lost. Actually it crossed my mind, we have a history of getting lost on our runs together. Last time we were in Seattle and figured if we just kept running around the lake we would get back. However there were channels off the lake and we were lost! This time we were only 3 miles out of the way and in all fairness I knew that we would end up in the same general vicinity. Plus we had a nice scenic byway through Docs.<br />
<br />
It got me thinking though. How often do we really know where we are going to end up in life? Hopefully we all have goals of where we want to be, but I think we often end up somewhere else entirely. Or maybe we just get there a different way than we had planned. It usually ends up being harder but I think in the end it's usually better. I hope anyways, so far that has been my experience in life. I love to know the end from the beginning but how often can we actually know the exact outcome of everything we do? My brain struggles with this, as it leans on the scientific side. It also used to drive me nuts when my husband would say he knew how to get somewhere and get us completely lost. He did teach me to enjoy getting lost though, and especially with him! But I guess sometimes you just have to follow your heart and let it go! I would love to hear other peoples thoughts on this. My thoughts on this still feel rather immature, but I feel like I'm learning some life lesson from this all.It Started With a Winkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07546990956693793794noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085977439395000858.post-88641379392959995542014-05-15T21:34:00.003-07:002014-07-28T14:08:51.835-07:00NovAfter getting my new phone we headed off to UT, Talmage and I were abducted in Springville for a girls trip that started at the Springville art museum, where some of this fine ladies art was showcased http://caitlinconnolly.com/. I actually just deleted those images a few days ago, but I can't wait to purchase her art someday, I'm really sad I missed out on my last favorite, like regretting it big time, I may have to call her. The ones that follow are some other ones that caught my eye.<br />

People talk to me and I'm like, yep I'm great (I haven't slept in like 2 years actually, I don't have the time I would like to workout, I clean up poop and pee and <strike>fight</strike> play with a 2 year old all day, I eat whatever is in our fridge and easiest to make because, I don't have time or energy to think about this anymore, I get dressed and think this would look so much better this way but remember that it will probably just get spit up on, stretched and pulled, on top of it all I have other responsibilities that I try to remember but usually forget) but what parent has this all figured out, clearly not me, but I'm happy, can't really tell you why except I love those kids and they are just so cute! However at the end of the day when I put my kids to sleep, I think, wow, I didn't even ask so and so how they were, I just kind of blankly smiled and tried to not draw attention to myself so that I could disappear and take care of my kids. I like all these so and sos but over years of all this, this is who I am turning into. Any moms have tips?It Started With a Winkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07546990956693793794noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085977439395000858.post-32978058681778863032013-11-05T20:56:00.000-08:002013-11-05T20:56:47.206-08:002 has me beat :(In my entire motherhood experience, which amounts to almost 2 1/2 years I've never had a day like the last two. I've just felt completely unfit as a mother. Maybe it was loosing Hudson at Target or maybe it was when some officer yelled at me for leaving my kids in the car for 3 minutes (within eyesight the entire time, 20 feet away, at 50 degrees). Maybe it was when I unknowingly left Hudson in a poopy diaper for what I can only guess was around 3-4 hours. Maybe it started when I was a nanny and never felt like I was a good nanny. I don't know why but being paid to watch other peoples kids just has never been good for me. Anyway, I feel completely unfit to be a mom today and feeling that way just makes me a crappier mom. I'm pretty sure I'll get over it tomorrow. Hopefully. Maybe most moms go through this more frequently, or maybe not at all, I don't know or really care but I'm ready to have my mom come stay with me. Then maybe the laundry will be put away and maybe we will eat real healthy meals, not just whatever I could throw out on the table between two demanding children. Maybe my floors will get vacuumed and my bathrooms, cleaned. I surrendered to the mess but then I can't function in a messy environment.

We are so lucky to be friends with the Larsen family, they invited up to their lodge last Saturday and we had no choice but to accept. It was a much needed get away from the world. We didn't even have wifi access till a couple hours before we left, I almost wish we didn't but who can resist wifi access. It was a great time to strengthen relationships, breath even fresher air, eat good food, and enjoy the cooler weather. I had time to feel, it was wonderful. I love and enjoy my family daily but there was something heavenly about being up there that intensified everything.</div>

Talmage Dean, need I say more? Here is his first month of life. He's as perfect as can be. He loves snuggling his momma all the time. He cracked his first smiles the morning after birth and on his 6 week birthday started looking in my eyes and smiling. To me it's kind of hard till they start doing that, I know they are babies and it's nothing personal but that smile helps me know, ok yep I am your favorite and maybe I'm doing something right.</div>

Love this guy!</div>

On Aug 8th I had a really fun shower which entailed a bunco game night. I wish I had taken pictures, it was so cute and had lots of my favorite ladies there! Of course as it was a baby shower women started telling labor stories and I got super pumped to have my baby, so pumped that I went into labor. I started having contractions, normal ones, not back labor like I did with Hudson. They were about 15 mins apart. They did however start about the same time of evening Hudson's did. <br />
<br />
So I went home and did some last minute packing. Went to bed and woke up at 3am, the contractions were keeping me up by that point, just like with Hudson, so TJ dropped my dear sweet Huds off at a friends and we drove to Grand Junction to attempt a vbac, since I had a csection with Huds, they were the nearest hospital that allows such things. When we were almost to the hospital I made TJ stop at Denny's for breakfast, because I remembered starving and in turn becoming exhausted with Huds labor, (they don't feed you once your admitted as active labor). I'm sure I created quite a scene pausing every 5 mins to work through a contraction. This is us at Denny's. <br />

We checked in the hospital around 5am and got the most amazing nurse ever, her name was Suzie, and she was a nurse, angel, doula all wrapped into one. I strongly feel without her things would not have gone so perfectly. I am praying I have Suzie for my next labor. My labor took her whole shift 12 hours bless her soul! I also had my neighbor friend who is studying to become a doula, who was great but honestly mainly acted as my photographer, because I had Suzie and TJ I didn't really feel the need for a doula, but a photographer, yes. TJ was my greatest support this time around though. I actually walked around the hospital till I was a 9. Dancing with TJ through many of my contractions, seriously, it's a great position to make it through a contraction! Then they broke my water and oh buddy things started moving and I'm pretty sure I was transitioning, but at that point I wanted to throw myself of the floor and cry, so instead I got an epidural, and I'm so glad I did! I didn't push the botton at all, and I feel like I had the perfect dose so I could still move my legs but not feel any pain! Last time I was instructed to push the button as often as I could which left me with numb legs, bad advice trust me! They let the baby descend for a couple more hours and then TJ got to help deliver the baby, I actually was afraid that the same thing was happening as with Huds, so I pushed so hard he flew out with his umbilical chord around his neck, the Dr was working on that and TJ really did catch the baby. No one told me to stop pushing. And here we have adorable and fiesty little Talmage Dean Connolly 7lbs 12 oz born at 4:12 pm on August 9th, <a href="tel:2013%2019%201" x-apple-data-detectors-result="0" x-apple-data-detectors-type="telephone" x-apple-data-detectors="true">2013 19 1</a>/2" long. He was 11 days early and I'm glad he was because by his 2 week appointment his head was in the 90th% which may have put me much in the same situation as Huds. The first 3 days recovery were akward, but about a week later I felt pretty much normal, unlike the c-section recovery where you feel like you have a stab wound for months. I'm so grateful it worked out for me!</div>

I might have to forgo the Hanging Lake hike till post baby, I feel like he might pop out any day now, haha, TMI</div>

So I'm making a list of things to do before this new munchkin and the Fall take over.<br />
1. Rifle Splash Pad (Rifle isn't my favorite place on the planet but there is a Splash Pad)<br />
2. Hike Hanging Lake (the weekends are crazy so in order to do this I will have to convince Hudson he can hike a steep 1 mile up and back, maybe I will carry my hiker pack, do you think that will work 36 weeks pregnant? Better do that next week!)<br />
3. Finish this Catherine the Great book, which I am going to work on as soon as I get off my blog.<br />
4. Camping at Lake Rudi, because I haven't been there and it's much cooler for a persistently sweaty pregnant lady without ac, I may move up there till I go into labor.<br />
5. Take Huds to a Lowe's class, I suppose I can do this with him after the baby comes but I am really sad to mark the end of Hud's and mommy era, however I am equally as excited to start the Hud's, baby, and mommy era.<br />
6. Make a baby blanket for the new little guy, I have the fabric it's been washed, not sure what I am waiting for.<br />
7. Make 5 freezer meals, one a week for the next 5 weeks!<br />
8. Go to the temple.<br />
Hopefully I'll get some pics and share them with my readers. Most of lately has consisted of playing in the river if you haven't seen it on my instagram. Maybe I will do a post on the Hudsie and momma era, there will be lots of river pics.It Started With a Winkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07546990956693793794noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085977439395000858.post-19763078592014101052013-07-10T14:39:00.002-07:002013-07-15T22:55:07.086-07:00My dress<br />

I'm so proud of myself I made a dress! I always have these dreams of making things but never attempt because I don't want to mess up. Finally thanks to a sale on this wonderful knit fabric and dying of heat, and ordering like a million dresses that were too short or too low cut (so I would have to layer, and I think layering in the summer is generally too hot) or just plane unflattering I decided it was worth the risk of messing up. I used <a href="http://diymaternity.com/dresses/maternitydress/" target="_blank">this</a> tutorial. I obviously made a few adjustments and prefer this method of sewing. The wing it method. I just fitted the skirt around my waist, sewed it on to some elastic, traced a top and sewed it all together. Granted I made some mistakes I either thought my arms were really skinny or forgot to leave a seam allowance so winged that as well. The original dress sleeves were super cute but I really wanted and needed something light and airy and this fabric was just too perfect to use for any other purpose. I promptly went back and purchased 3 more knit fabrics and have an awesome wing it idea for one of them! I love making my own clothes it's always been one of my top dreams. I know this is super shallow but I have always wanted to be a clothing designer. My family always discouraged me, but really if I've had one constant dream and passion besides my family and nutrition it's clothing. So it's so fun for me to finally live this out, plus maternity fashion is either terrible or terribly priced, sometimes both! I wish I wasn't so tired all the time so I could start my new one before I deliver this baby!</div>

It Started With a Winkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07546990956693793794noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085977439395000858.post-11578386674067951732013-06-04T21:25:00.000-07:002013-06-04T21:25:25.965-07:00For the love of these mountains!I've always loved/dreamed of living in this neck of the woods! As time trickled on though I had a tendency to zillow other locations and see what home we could be buying instead of being crammed in a condo. I would also tell people not from here, "well there aren't too many great places to go out to eat (coming from a foodie who left Salt Lake, the food melting pot of the world) and shopping is well . . . ." My husband and I had talked about maybe transferring with work someday but it really wasn't an option and I hoped that we would be well and happily settled or some amazing opportunity would take us to some magical place. Then he made a phone call and said "where do you want to go?" I bawled a thousand tissues, my heart would not let me leave this place, not now, maybe not ever. I all of a sudden didn't care if we had an office and craft room in our future home. I didn't care if I ever saw a shopping mall again, in fact I despised the thought of a shopping mall. This was the magical place! These are my mountains! I spent my childhood in these mountains. I love them and they love me! I haven't had near enough time to know each of them as well as I want to and I'm sure I won't want to leave once I have. I told my hubby I would go wherever if he thought it was better for our family, but inside my heart was breaking it felt like a break up but worse! I don't know how to live in a city after this, I never liked cars driving everywhere and people consuming all the time. I love the clean air. The slow pace of life. People walking, biking, and jogging to their destinations. Getting to know people and seeing them again. People who know and care about me. Spending time with my friends trail running and hiking. Not so many unimportant demands, and more meaningful demands. After drying my tears we got in the car and drove to Aspen to one of our favorite places to dine. I almost didn't want to go, I felt it would be too painful seeing all that I love and knowing I couldn't have it anymore. I took crappy car pictures of mountain tops. But you know what the magic of the mountains worked over my husband and while we aren't completely decided he is on my side. The only thing taking us away is more paid vacation and a pension but right now I'm just going to let that slide till it feels right to move, because right now it doesn't. Here is my favorite poem I ever wrote, this marks it's 10 year anniversary, it's one of my favorites and may not be used without my permission.<br />

I feel terrible for not posting sooner. However I left on a trip immediately after my last ultrasound. Then there was the stomach flu week, then we were out of town again for another week. I know rough life. We are welcoming another baby boy! I also learned that Huds doesn't like icees, I don't really either but we had to announce some way on the road! We are so excited and these past 3 weeks I've really started to grow more attached to the little guy. From his middle of the night rugby matches to talks with my sweet niece Cassidy about him, plus I'm pretty sure we named him. Boy #2 although shy at first is starting to become a fun reality. I'm also so ready for another sweet baby. Remember cute Huds baby? <br />
<br />
Plus I want my body back, he can stay in there about 12 more weeks but after that I'm dying to get outside and move, sick of this plodding nonsense! I had this moment listening to Mrs Potter by the Goo Goo Dolls that made me feel like a middle aged lady going through a mid-life crisis. Granted my almost 2 year old had waved me away all morning and due to my condition and the mountains calling to me I was lamenting not being able to answer them in a run to the top of one. So I cried and then I remembered how awesome Huds is 360 days out of the year and felt so grateful for my wonderful family!It Started With a Winkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07546990956693793794noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085977439395000858.post-12771276458938619732013-04-29T06:03:00.003-07:002013-04-29T06:03:46.175-07:00Today is the day!Enjoying a BEAUTIFUL spring morning over here! The snow is almost completely melted off Red Mountain and she sun is shinning! I'm hoping the little bun in my oven will cooperate with us today! This beautiful and quite morning I've had lots of time to think as I'm the only one awake. I've always heard that humans have this carnal will to live and propagate to ensure their DNA is passed on. While that may have some truth to it I think of how the sole desire of my heart is to see my children grow up and be happy and have families of their own, that bring them as much joy as mine do. I hope they are successful in whatever they do as I know this will add to their joy, but having a family that I love infinitely has brought me more joy than anything I am able to wrap my brain around. I had a hard time focusing on anything else in my life till I was able to have a family of my own, which I don't recommend, but it got me to where I am, so I am grateful. Anyway, I want my children to have this joy in their lives because I love them soooo much, because they are such beautiful little humans inside and out that I want them to maximize their joy potential (which I don't think is possible). I'll be honest I'm not one who falls in love instantly when they are pregnant. I'm excited to know this little trickster and feel a little more love everyday, with each kick, but honestly it wasn't with Hudson till I got to know him that I fell head over heels. I know there is room in my heart once I get to know this second one too, to me knowing the gender is a huge part of identity. I hesitate posting this because I know so many who struggle to have children that would love to and I hope and know that this desire will be granted for each of you in this life or the next because of our Reedemer who makes all things right, I hope this isn't hurtful to them in anyway. I hope someday this will still be available to my children to read and know that their momma loves them so much, no matter where they end up! Time to go eat some sugar!It Started With a Winkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07546990956693793794noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085977439395000858.post-13972550323452445742013-04-05T13:58:00.001-07:002013-04-05T13:58:50.444-07:00<img alt="mint and pink cake" cb_pinned="true" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8869" height="770" src="http://www.simplifiedbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/mint-and-pink-cake.png" width="570" /><br />
If I were to have made a gender reveal cake this is what it would have looked like (from <a href="http://rubyju.typepad.com/blog/2011/08/abis-high-tea-party.html" target="_blank">here</a>).<br />
Our little trickster had it's legs curled around the umbilical chord and it's hands in front of it's face. I'm pretty sure it was sleeping because it didn't move a whole lot either. But everything looked healthy. So that's good news. Must be taking after my side of the family. Hudson was sprawled out and waving to us during his ultrasound, clearly taking after his father. Well the mystery continues till the end of the month hopefully baby will be more compliant during that ultrasound. <br />
<br />
In other news I feel like I have pneumonia, I'm going to the doc in an hour. I'm hoping this is a girl now because I don't know if I can handle what pregnancy does to my immune system another time. But if it's a boy that would be fun too, because brothers 2 years apart in my opinion should have a lot more fun than anything spread further than that. It's a win/win situation. Voting has extended till the end of the month.It Started With a Winkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07546990956693793794noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085977439395000858.post-87930517103959458352013-03-25T15:27:00.001-07:002013-04-04T18:52:20.037-07:0018 weeks take II<br />

Yes there I am pregnant, braces, and glasses. Does it get any better? I ran out of contacts and I am BLIND without them! Don't worry a new shipments is on it's way. My belly is much bigger in real life, PROMISE! Although I have lost weight recently which concerns me but my belly is growing, so I guess it's probably just shifting around. I gained around 15 my first trimester and I've lost 5 my second, it's not supposed to work that way at all. I was stressed because I gained too much, so I stopped weighing myself and now I'm stressed because I'm loosing weight, I'm just not even going to weigh myself anymore! Tomorrow I am 19 weeks so I thought I should get this out before then. Our ultrasound is in a week in a half. Time to guess boy or girl???? Of course I am going to find out because that would be like having the internet and not using it! Although I fully admire people who wait and maybe when I have one of each I will try that out. <br />

It was hard to come back to less than warm temps after this trip, before I left 45 was warm, after freeezing!! It was a nice break and we were so glad our friends Brooke and Garrison could live it up with us a day. We dined at the Pasta Factory, lunched at 25 and Main twice, and got In & Out on our way out, plus the Bear Paw Cafe and Neilson's, I could almost see us living us there but I don't know that I could say goodbye to the CO mountains.</td></tr>
