So....I might as well share with "yous" (as many people - mostly those with poor English skills - say) that there's another bun in the oven. Yup, I'm knocked up, with child, up the duff, or however you want to put it. My midwife figures that I am due in mid-May...so I'm only about 8 weeks. I guess my 12 week ultrasound will confirm that. Speaking of midwives I have a different one this time. Ironically, it is my friend's mom - the one who ended up delivering Bethany anyways because my midwife wasn't at the hospital at time. Her name is Sharon and she is awesome. I know that she is really busy so I wasn't sure that if she would be able to take me one but she was like "I would be delighted to be your midwife! Even if I was on holidays I would be your midwife!". She is so nice and I feel sooooooooooooo relieved about how this pregnancy and the delivery will go because I trust her completely and I know that she will advocate for me and that she will MAKE SURE Andrew stays with me no matter what.

So I haven't been sick. I wasn't really sick with Bethany either. I just get nauseous when I don't eat enough so I'm trying to make sure that I snack etc. and drink water because I get soooo thirsty. I mostly just get tired during the day...like it really hits me and I feel like I will fall asleep in my feet. So sometimes, I try to grab a snooze when Bethany is sleeping and that helps. My clothes are starting to be tight so it looks like I have to bring up the dreaded, ugly maternity clothes from the garage. Why can't they make reasonably priced maternity clothes here that aren't drab? Maybe if I had some better fashion sense I could dress them up or so.....we'll see. Maybe I will try to get away with just wearing some larger things instead. I just have a hard time feeling attractive at all these days and now more so knowing I have to wear the maternity clothes. Maybe I need a new hairstyle or something.....I don't know.

I have to teach in a couple of weeks. My lesson in Relief Society is from the April General Conference Talk by Elder Uchtdorf called Your Potential, Your Priviledge. It is from the Priesthood Session. It is basically all about living up to your Priesthood Priviledges. I have no idea what to talk about or how to organize my lesson and apply it to RS Sisters. I am seriously stumped. This one is going to be toughie and I fear I may ruin my reputation as a "good teacher" because of it. Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions are welcome.

Bethany's other front bottom tooth is finally coming in (she has three already) and it is causing some MAJOR grief! It is taking forever to cut through and it must be pretty painful because she is so grumpy and teary and fragile these past couple of days. She is normally pretty chill so when she is like this you know that she isn't 100%. She is trying to get over a cold too but I think that it is the tooth that is bugging her. Anyway, I wish that it would hurry up and come because it is a lot to take! I finally put her in her bed with some books today just so that I could have some rest and peace and quiet. It lasted about 45 minutes. Did she go to sleep? No, but I got the peace and quiet....thank gosh.
