Grandma Kristi




My mom, Kristi, came to visit and help with Connelly. It has been heaven sent. She has helped me so much. Two nights in a row she helped with the baby by taking him all night and doing the feedings. It was so nice to actually sleep a full 7ish hours. She also has helped clean, cook, babysit while I worked on my homework. I have a test this Monday so she is going to tend him Sunday night for me too. It will be nice to be able to study and rest before the test. If you don't know, I'll tell you.... I hate this Statistics class. I just did 2 hours of homework and didn't get all 7 questions done. They are the longest and hardest equations. I can't wait until this class is over. I complain more than I work on my homework probably but I HATE IT.


Nate and I are going on our first date postpartum today too. We are going to go to a movie and dinner while Grandma Krisit tends baby Connelly. I'm hoping to get outside today too and get in some good sunshine. I am still pretty sore. I am so surprised how bad of a recovery I'm having. I really expected to be out and doing walking/running within a few weeks. Here it is three weeks and I still hurt. I am bummed about that.


I had a dream the other night that I woke up and Connelly was 20 pounds and so big and grown up. He is starting to smile more and look more directly at you. It is fun.

Bad decision

So I wax. Do you? What do you wax? Well, I wax my body, well my eyebrows and girly mustache, not those other body parts they do in "Brazil." Any who..... Today was the day. I hadn't waxed in FOREVER and so I decided I'd take a stab at it. I have been doing my own waxing since I got married, I use to live with this wonderful girl, Jamie, and she was a professional, but I got it free. The friendly roommate discount. She did great. She would spend a good 20 min. or more and wax, pluck, and make me a new girl with definition on the brow line. Well, at first I was horrible and took forever. However, through the years and trials, I have gotten better....UNTIL today. I decided to do it at the wrong time and that was the start of a horrible ending to this sad story. Why was the timing wrong you ask? Well, Connelly was awake and getting into, on, around, and breaking EVERYTHING he could find in the bathroom. (Basically, he was eating my tampons and opening up maxi pads one by...

Random thoughts

So this post is a combination of what I've been thinking the past little bit: First, this morning, I didn't do anything with myself because I was going to wear a hat to class, Anatomy 2320, and so I just picked my zits and got Connelly to go to my mother in laws, and left. Yes left without the freaking hat. I didn't comb my hair, didn't put make up on, and left the house red, picked on ugly zit face. What was I thinking. oh well, it isn't like I even talk to anyone in class or having an affair with my teacher so no biggy. Second, I took a test in my anatomy class Monday, and I thought for sure we would get our tests back today. WE DIDN"T. so I have to anticipate my score another 6 days. HHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...... Connelly must be getting more teeth. He is Onery. He will be cute however about 10 minutes before he goes to be. He is really ticklish and giggly late at night. So then it makes it hard to want to put him in bed because he i...

Found a home

Bell has found a new home. After I put her up for FREE on ksl.com, I got a ton of calls. The first little old lady that came to look at her snatched her right up. I was really surprised because Bell snapped at her right off, but I guess things are going well now. The lady called me later in the day, and said, "thank you, thank you. Bell is the dog I've waited for my whole life." She said that Bell just followed her around all day and the neighborhood kids love her. I'm so relieved.
