Wishlist Wednesday

Here's my new feature that will hopefully keep me updating this blog a little more often. Plus, you might learn some weird quirks about me. Here's my wishlist for this week:

• A box of Butterfingers. What would I do with an entire box you ask? Eat them of course. The mini humans have really taken a liking to them. Okay, I just really like them except when they stick to my teeth. Peanut buttery goodness. Yumm.....
• I want to work in a candy factory, even if it's just for a day. One of my favorite shows is Unwrapped on Food Network. It makes me want to go to the candy factory even more. I've even actually looked into finding a job at one. Who wouldn't love to make candy for a living?
• Boxes. Moving boxes and lots of them. And then I would like them to fill themselves so my back will stop hurting. And then they need to move themselves too. That would all be really heavenly.
• And what happened to my favorite car ride CD? (I know, CDs are so old school. I hadn't had the chance to put it on the pod yet). Did Eduardo (the car) eat it? Honestly, where does a CD go? I guess I should clean the car and hopefully, hopefully it will be in there somewhere. I want it back!
• Lastly, a kitchen table. We had one at one point in our marriage. It no longer exists. Now we're moving into a new place and we have no table. Please table, come home.

There's my wishlist for the week.

12 weeks

We had another appointment with the doctor today. He let us hear the beating of the mini human hearts. I love it! I could have listened to it for hours. I want to buy one of those Dopplers for myself just so I can fall asleep to their beating hearts, probably much like they will fall asleep to my beating heart. Anyway, everytime I think of the beating hearts, this is the song I start to sing in my head. Beating hearts baby. Tell me, is this love for real?

It's getting bigger...

Sorry, this isn't the best photo ever, but here it is. My bump of love. Of course to me it seems a lot bigger than you can see in the photo. I'm now 11 weeks along and trying to enjoy every minute, even when I feel my uterus growing at warp speed and pulling ligaments on the inside. I try to make Ryan talk to the babies and give them loves. I think he thinks I'm crazy. Nighttime is still a little rough. I get really uncomfortable, but I guess that's just what comes with being pregnant. We get to talk to the doctor next week and hopefully he will let us hear their little beating hearts again. I can't wait! What a miracle this has been.

In other news, we are moving. We are very sad to leave our ward because we have just fallen in love with the people around here. We finally have friends here and feel comfortable so it is going to be really hard. I can barely make it through church without crying just thinking about leaving, especially leaving our wonderful primary kids. At least we still have a little while to say goodbye. We probably won't move until after April 1st. I am excited, however, for the big kitchen, 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms I get to move into. Oh, and a garage! Woo hoo! Hopefully we can stay at this new place until we are ready for the masters program in a year or 2.

Morning sickness?

What a stupid name for being sick while you're pregnant. Whoever made that up probably wasn't really pregnant. I am sick 100% of the day. Thank goodness it's not real bad all day long. My "morning" apparently is around 10-11 o'clock at night. Just as I am all comfy in bed my body decides to be sick. Last night was my first throw up, but I felt so much better after dinner wasn't in me anymore. So sad, because it was so delicious, although not so delicious on the way back up.

What is your remedy for "morning" sickness?

Best nurse EVER!

On Monday, Ryan took the NCLEX. The NCLEX is the test you have to take to get your license for nursing. I knew he wouldn't have a problem with it, but it's always stressful to take such a big exam. Anyway, we found out Tuesday evening that he passed! He is now Ryan Hone, RN. He is officially a nurse and he now gets a pay raise! WOO HOO!!! Way to go Ryan!!! We are so proud of you and all of your hard work. You are definitely my favorite nurse in the entire world.

It's 1:30 in the morning and Bella is having separation anxiety with Ryan working tonight. She cried in her bed for about an hour before I finally went and got her and decided to just work since she's not going to sleep. Little turd. I even had to show her that Ryan was gone and not in bed like she thought. Every noise she hears now, she thinks it's Ryan coming home. Maybe she can feel the changes in the air with babies on the way? She's probably just preparing me for many sleepless nights to come. Precious dog.

Two babies!

If you haven't read our Infertile Myrtle blog yet, you should know we found out today that we are expecting not 1, but 2 babies! The ultrasound was absolutely amazing. The doctor had a feeling we were having twins since my hCG level a few weeks ago was 958 (anything over 100 is positive). We were kind of expecting it too, but didn't want to get our hopes up. I mean, we would have been very pleased and happy with one, but two? Fabulous! This has been quite the journey so far and we are excited to see what the future holds for our little family. Seeing the heart beats today and seeing that this is all real was so amazing. We are so blessed and thankful for these 2 little beings!

How we celebrate....

Well, to commemorate our 5 years of being married, we decided to go to The Cottage at La Caille. I have always loved La Caille ever since I was in junior high. It's like a fantasy land right here in Utah. The Cottage did not disappoint. We walked into our cabin to a basket full of fruit and a bottle of La Caille's very own wine. I immediately dove into the grapes. We had a fridge full of beverages: Coke, Sprite, apple juice, and orange juice. We even had our own private hot tub. Since we are not rich like we wished we were, we opted to eat Blimpie instead of eating at La Caille. I would have loved to eat there but I'm pretty sure we would have had to give up our first born to do it. I ate so much fruit that it made me sick to my stomach so sleeping was a little nonexistent for me, but I was excited to be in a king-sized bed. I got mad at Ryan when his leg was touching me because the bed was so big that shouldn't be necessary. Wow, really? Like I said, I didn't feel real great. We woke up to ducks quacking and roosters cock-a-doodle-doing. The cook from the restaurant made us yummy breakfast. We both had omelets, fresh fruit, hot chocolate, OJ, and Ry had pancakes. I was impressed by the butter being shaped into roses. I didn't want to use it because it looked so cute! Breakfast was very delicious! I would recommend this to anybody who needs to celebrate something extra special in their lives.
