Mystery Music

Have you ever heard a song on the radio, or in a movie, or a show and had a burning compulsion to hear it again but you don't know the artist, title, or many lyrics? The search may last hours, days, or even months but once that sound is found, happiness is found.

Yes, this happens to me frequently. It took me months to find Flashing Lights by Kanye West a couple years ago. Months. But well worth it once I found it. Turns out the lyrics were "flashing lights lights lights" not "fashion bites bites bites." I could have sped up the process if I could understand their sensual drawling voices better. It's a skill I am working on.

Anyway, just a thought on this freezing cold, snowy, day in almost May as I found another song I was searching for today.

28 Weeks

For those of you who don't have a facebook, here is a picture of me at 28 weeks. And, you should get a facebook. :)

Pop Star

It doesn't matter if I am getting fat or the kids like me better with my glasses....when I put on my sunglasses I become a "pop star."

"Mrs. Atkisson looks cool..."

That's right, sunglasses = pop star.

I was told yesterday:

"You look better with your glasses."

"You are getting fat."

Good thing they were both from 7 year olds. Otherwise, heads would roll.

I'm Having Fun

So, I love sewing. Here are some dresses I have made so far. :)

Valentine's Date

We went to Tucano's for Valentine's and it was delicious as usual. :) Here are some long awaited pictures of us. Sure love this guy.

Ultrasound

I went in for my ultrasound on Wednesday at 4:00 and the baby was moving and moving. Then when it came time to check if it was a he or a she its little legs were up over the body and the knees were shut tight together. No amount of prodding or poking could get it to move.

My appointment time ended and the nurse told me I could come back in a week for another ultrasound but I couldn't schedule it. I would just have to call in every morning and try to get fit in. The problem is a work in West Jordan and the Dr's office is in Orem. Also, I teach. So if they say, "Yeah, come in at 1:00 today." I can't do it, I can't get a sub in time.

I was BROKEN hearted. I was trying so hard not to cry while I was in there, and be grateful we saw the baby and it was healthy, but my disappointment was extreme. I was so looking forward to finding out the gender. We left and I sobbed. Seth said, "Nope, we are going to get an ultrasound at the mall." So we figured out the number and drove down to Sandy for an ultrasound at Fetal Photos in the mall. As soon as he put the machine on my stomach he said, "This is a perfect position! It's a girl!" Then he just let us see her and we watched her lay with her arm up over her head. And we saw her moving her lips. It was incredible. As soon as he said, "It's a girl!" I started sobbing all over again. I can't believe it! A daughter! Seth was pretty excited too, not as emotional as I was of course. :)

Anyway, we are excited to meet our little girl in June. We love her already!
