Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all of you who read my blog...if there be any...

Crazy Junk

Today Ella has been so sick. She started vomiting around 4am this morning and continued to vomit every 10 minutes until about 8am. We took her to the ER around 6am, but they only advised us to give her liquids. Problem is she didn't want any liquids and when we did give her some she would immediately puke it up. We finally got home and she then started to vomit every hour. It was a mess. This has been the first time Ella has really been sick. About 10:30am, James and another brother from church, gave Ella a blessing for the sick, since that blessing Ella has not vomited and she was able to get some sleep. I know the power of the Priesthood is real. She has been up and eating and playing a little bit. She still acts like she is tired but if you were vomiting all morning I'm sure it would wear you out. I haven't been much of a help. James has basically held Ella while she puked. I tried but being pregnant I have a weak stomach and when she would puke I would puke/gag as well. So thanks James. You're the best. 

Another crazy thing is that my tooth has been hurting since Friday evening and all day Saturday, and when I awoke this morning, my upper lip was swollen. It has been swollen all day and I look like a "Who" from Dr. Seuss. Anywho, hopefully it'll go away, if not I have to go to the doctor. It's been a crazy day.

A wonderful day!

So today is my birthday. *yay* I am 24...yup I know, getting old. Anywho, it has been really great. I spent the morning in St. Louis at the temple. And then when we got home, I searched the house for my present that James surprised me with. He got me a beautiful watch and a gift card to JC Penny, so I can buy some "fat pants" (being that I am pregnant) So that was fun. And then we went to a local resturant here, and stuffed our faces with yummy bar-b-que and fixin's (I have to fill out my fat pants right? :P) All in all, it has been such a wonderful day.

It's A GIRL!!!

We found out today that we are having another girl! I was kinda disappointed, because I thought I was for sure having a boy because this pregnancy has been completely different than Ella's. But that's cool. I am glad we are having a girl. It will be fun having two of them around. And plus we already have girl stuff, so it works!! Her name is Miriam Elisabeth.

House sitting

So, this whole house sitting is way awesome. We have a huge house with no rent or mortgage payment. Good right? Yeah of course, except when it is fall. So since it is fall and all the leaves are falling one must rake the leaves. Did I ever mention I hate raking leaves? Well, I do. I hated it as a kid and I still hate it. But it must be done. So, this whole house sitting has its perks, it also has downers, like raking leaves!!!!!! ERRGGGHHH!!!
