Much Needed Break

First of all, I took a week off of blogging. Ok lets be honest, I took a week off from EVERYTHING!! I am sure that I will regret that decision later, but I sure needed it. My one (yeah pathetic, I know) midterm was a killer. Why am I complaining, my sad lame midterm is nothing compared to Jon's regular homework. Anyway it is all water under the bridge and I start fresh(well at least I start)tomorrow.

The week was pretty uneventful and very cold!! That was a lie, now that I think about it. We got home on Wednesday from mom and dads(I wanted to take dinner to a sister in the ward, or I wouldn't have come back). Thursday we had some non member friends over, they are from Brazil and they were a blast to hang out with. Friday and Saturday, I did nothing but laundry and I waited until 8pm to even start it. Today however was a little more eventful then I would have liked it( only one little thing happened, the one thing I have been dreading for a while now). After church while I was getting dinner ready, Jon was changing Brett into clothes that would fair ok after he got spaghetti all over himself. Jon dresses Brett in a long sleeve shirt and a pair of overalls. Brett has had this thing lately with his diaper, he just hates having it on and so he will dig at it. SO I started putting him in onesies and I pin his zipper closed at night, to prevent his hand from going down his pants. Well in the process of making dinner I notice his hand down his pants and I stop him. We eat dinner, he makes a few grunting noises, I smell him, and we are off to get back up(Brett likes to fight us, during diaper changes). Dad was in the computer room, I am on speakerphone with mom and dad wierschke. Brett runs in to get dad, we head into Brett's room. The phone starts to die, so I head back into the computer room to change phones, notice something weird on the floor. I bend down to get a closer look, and sure enough Brett had pooped on my floor. I just about died. Come to find out Brett had pooped and peed in his pants and it was everywhere. I am just grateful that nothing was ground into the carpet. Mom and Dad sure had a good laugh though.

We did take a new family picture, it is posted to the right. Sorry there isn't even a glimpse of my belly. I assure you though, people at church today said that I had nothing to show off :(, I guess I always look pregnant. Just kidding I know they meant it with kindness, I just notice my bump more, I am ok with that. The family picture isn't our favorite, but it was the best that I could come up with. I just need to pay someone to do a better job, I am so cheap! I also finally updated the slide show for those who watch it, sorry it has taken me forever.

Pregnancy update:

Nothing much has changed since last week, except for the fact that I got less sleep. I am craving mexican, which for me is nothing new. I ate at Cafe Rio alot while I was pregnant with Brett. Sadly there is nothing like Cafe Rio here, anyone want to over night me a chicken salad? Honestly the craving is so bad that during my nap time today I couldn't fall asleep cause I was too busy trying to figure out how to make that darn salad! Never fear I have a recipe, so I am going to try it soon!! I head to the Dr's this week so we will see how much weight I have gained. If I can master this salad recipe I am going to gain a TON of weight. The glucose test is coming up, which I don't mind either. I have my orange drink I just need to drink it and let the vampires(that is what my grandpa always called them) have at me.

I throw in a little sour cream with the dressing and it's pretty darn close. Good luck!

Okay, first of all...CONGRATS on being pregnant with a girl! How awesome. You are going to have so much fun! Girls are the best.

Dang...no cafe rio...and while you're pregnant?! That's just cruel. Do you think a salad would keep in overnight mail? haha. I really wish I could at least send you their house dressing. I use the extra dressing on my version of their salad and it tastes pretty similar!
