• Organize the pantry
• Help nauseated Danica with her house
• Look at a possible house for the McDonalds
• Nap
• Cry again because I take things personally
• Play with some of my favorite nieces and nephews
• Watch The adjustment Bureo thinking that no one had see the movie but everyone had
• Sleep in

• Wrestle with the kids at the park
• Watch Hunter have a temper tantrum

8 Weeks-Third times the charm

We're pregnant but not tellin yet. It was pretty obvious though. Up in park city the van dykes totally knew. I was nauseous, tried and in bed the whole time. Preston would say it was obvious because I had a white towel with green peppermint oil up my nose the whole time. (only because I had read that would help with nausea.)

Preston was so cute, he wanted to go on a little romantic walk and dinner up in park city but I couldn't do it, so we ended up at a Mexican restaurant. Not my choice of food but everything sounded gross. I had two bites of soup and called it good. I was lucky nothing came back up. The car trip home was the worst. Had to take some sleeping pills and b12 o help. Didn't realize out of all the drugs pregnant women can't take I sure thought it would be a sleeping pill. Are you with me on this one?

8 Weeks and 2 days

Draschil's Fair-well

Had to say goodbye to melinda & Joseph :(

But while we were at the park we ran into sister Larsen's little brother and his wife.

Van Dyke family reunion

Farwell to the Asian Barrands

I'm so sad that Bryce is taking Marica and their kids and leaving Utah. I'm the only one left:(. They are going to have so much fun in New York though can't wait to hear of their adventures! They will be loved and missed

We had to go out for ice cream before they depart.... us at Coney's

Gallstone surgery

For the past 5 years doctors have mistaken my gallstone for heartburn. I've tried and paid for all types of medication and nothing did the trick. I always thought it was funny that when I laid down it felt better. Finally a nurse figured it out. Got an ultra sound(wasn't to found of my experiences with those machine but it was ok this time). I joked with her to give me a real ultra sound but she couldn't. A week later we found out we were pregnant but miscarried while boarding the cruise:(. I cried but this misscargie was as hard as the first. On a positive note the baby would have been born on jan 1st which i woulnt was a baby born then and I got to get rid of this pain in my abdomin. As soon as it was ok to go with the surgery I got really scared but Danica said it was so worth it and she would do it all over again. I was worried about the horror stories I'd hear about diearreha but Dan made me get over that. So I went with surgery. It wasn't bad at all, I just couldn't leave until I pee'd enough which never happened so I had to get a catheter, which sucked.recovery also took a little longer tan I expected but the time off was nice.

Best part was the doctor took my request of letting me see the stones. I got a picture as my parting gift:)
