Bell Pepper Baby

Baby Williams is the length of a bell pepper this week. I went to the doctors today and we were quickly able to find the heart beat. It is always calming and reassuring when I get to see or hear that the baby is still well. I wish I could have had another ultra sound, I was beginning to get use to them. haha But we get to go in two weeks for one. I'm very excited for the ultra sound. I know our baby will be a lot bigger and I just love watching it move and seeing it's tiny little fingers.

My doctor told me that everything is great and right where it should be. She told me I'm doing an excellent job with my weight and to keep doing whatever I'm doing. I guess I've gained a total of four pounds so far since my very first appointment. I'm glad she told me that that part is good because sometimes I wonder and hope I haven't gained too much. I just want everything to be as normal as possible.

I bought my first maternity "clothing" but I think I'm going to need to get more soon. I got this thing called the Bella band. Pretty much, it looks like a tube top that you wear around your waste to help cover any unbutton pants or keep maternity clothes that are too big around your waist and it's suppose to look like an undershirt. Its been helpful.

Jon will finish his current summer class next month soon. Shortly after, he'll start another class that is two weeks long. He's taking two weeks vacation at work for that class. Then his fall semester will start. It's crazy how quickly each semester rolls by. I'm glad they do though. I'm hoping his classes will help time fly faster until December gets here. I'm really proud of him and how well he's doing. Jon puts forth good efforts in his assignments and schooling.  I'm really glad he's going to school and working hard. It will bless our whole family.

Jon's also been doing a great job at running lately! I'm really proud of him. Before Jon decided he would like to climb Mt. McKinley some day, there was no way I could get him to go jogging with me. But now, he's doing so well at getting up in the morning and going by himself before work. I love this because Jon is now willing to go jogging with me if I ask. I want our family to be in a habit of exercising so our kids can learn the importance of it.

I've been reading the conference talks lately. I really like reading them and being able to underline things that really pop out at me. I think I'm going to try to read the talks more often in between conference sessions. People often feel reenergized and motivated to be better after conference. Reading the talks help me keep that feeling and a lot of it seems pretty new even though it really wasn't all that long ago that we heard them. I may have to post some blogs about some of my favorite things.

Alright, so I see that I've written enough that my post is going to look plenty long.  I hope all is well with everyone.
