Random Thoughts from a Mommy

  • I can't believe THAT came out of me!
  • What if his skull seals up too soon? Why is there a green vein in between his eyebrows? Why isn't his hair even? Is that thrush? What if he can't hear out of his left ear?
  • This little guy melts my heart
  • I wonder what it looked like when Tanner first came out of me. It's not very fair that Jeremy got a better view of it than I did.
  • Gosh, I thought I loved my husband before, but now I really love my husband. How amazing that our love created this little person- an entirely new person that wasn't here before!
  • When can I have another one?
  • There's no way I could have another one soon.
  • All I do is breastfeed. Seriously, I JUST fed him! How am I ever going to do anything else? Is this what being a mom is like? If so, this is not really what I signed up for.
  • I love his bum. I love his cheeks. I love his bellybutton. Ah! I love the creases in his hands. Oh my goodness, what a little miracle!!
  • Okay, it's obvious that he looks like me, but only because of his coloring. People can't see what I see. There is so much of Jeremy in him! His face shape, his 4 dimples, his ears, his facial expressions. What if he turns blond and starts looking less like me? Hmm. I guess that would be cool for Jeremy. Hmm. No. I want him to stay like me.
  • I swear! If that pacifier falls out of his mouth one more time....ugh!
  • What if he didn't get enough to eat? He's going to be cranky in ten minutes, and then he won't sleep at the right time, and then he won't be on this awesome schedule he established. And then he'll cry even more. Oh wait. I guess he's fine. Okay, okay, just relax. He's fine!
  • Wow. My kid is seriously SOO cute.
  • When someone asks me how many kids I have, I can say "I have a son." Oooh. That sounds so savvy, mature, sophisticated. "Yes, sir. I have a son."
  • I wonder if he could still fit inside my belly now.
  • Does he remember anything from being with Heavenly Father? Does he remember that he used to be floating around in a dark bag for 9 months? Does he remember anything from his birthday? What is going on in that little head of his?
  • I am so glad I delivered naturally, without an epidural.
  • Is it normal for babies to be this patient? My kid is SO easy going and patient. God must have told him to teach me by example.

  Our celebrations for Independence Day 2020 were very different than what we're used to. This is my favorite holiday along with Easter, and I try to go big each year, so it took a lot of stretching for me to find ways to make the week special with so many Covid limitations. We ended up having a lot of fun! First we got things festive looking around the house with art projects.  Tanner really liked painting, with straws!  Dallin really liked it, too! We went to Walmart to buy some clothes for Mom, Tanner, and Dallin. Mom really wanted to see how she looked so Tanner took some pictures. We couldn't go into the changing rooms cuz of Covid, and there weren't any mirrors around, so this is the only thing we could do! Cool guys ready to celebrate in their new shirts!! Can you see the great horned owl in the tree? This is our view from our balcony. There it goes!! Massage time for Mom!! Dallin really wanted to be a masseuse, so this is one way for him to do it! Grandpa Papa and...

Spring Break

My mom and dad came to visit from Colorado during my Spring Break! We went to Balboa Island... Watched the sunset on the beach... Ate at fun restaurants like Joe's Crab Shack, Pei Wei, and the Sugar Shack... Toured the gardens at the Getty Museum in LA... Watched seals and dolphins at my favorite theme park, Sea World... And shopped for baby stuff and put things together in the soon-to-be-baby room. While putting together the crib set, Dad wore some glasses from Walgreans 'cuz he forgot his reading glasses at home. He didn't bother to remove the tag! Putting together the rocking chair.

A Happy New Year

Image
Between Christmas and New Year's, we had some great vacationing. Jeremy worked on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve (cuz they are slower days), and then took off Mondays. So he had a much needed relaxing two weeks. And we loved it, too, because we got to see lots of Daddy! The boys played while Daddy snow-blowed, and then Jeremy took them around the yard a few times in the sled. Tanner is getting very creative with his imaginary drum sets. One day, he used the remote controls for percussion instruments. We went to the Minneapolis Zoo on one of Jeremy's days off! (Thanks, Uncle Steve and Aunt Katie for the giftcard!) You might be wondering, "Why go to the zoo in the winter? Isn't it freezing there?" The answer is yes, it is actually colder than freezing. We wanted to go to the zoo because of the huge indoor tropic exhibit they have! Dallin and I enjoyed the toddler playroom.  Dallin kept finding the trickiest ways to climb on the exhibit. He didn't want to g...
