Tag...I'm It!

By Martha -
I have been tagged by Bekah and by Carebear and they have different questions to answer so I'll do a little combo of the two. Here it goes...(By the way, I won't be offended if you don't make it all the way through!)

4 Places I've Lived:
Salt Lake City, Toronto, Houston, Brighton

4 Place I've Vacationed:
Israel, Europe (a motor-home trip around Europe!), Calgary, Sunvalley


4 Jobs I've Had:
Mom (thanks Bekah for the idea on that one), nurse, assistant camp director, sales associate at a fruit stand

4 Foods I Like:
stuffed mushrooms (that's just happened in the last couple years), cheese, pretzel jello salad, Adam's homemade pizza



4 Hobbies:
rollerblading, biking, singing, family history (newly acquired)

4 Things People Don't Know About Me:
my 4 front teeth are veneers, I'm allergic to a lot of fruits, I memorize license plates, I love to (and always do) cross my z's and 7's


What I Was Doing Ten Years Ago:
I was a sophomore at Oly. I was a cheerleader, had my first boyfriend (who kissed me one hour before I was sweet sixteen!), and playing in the orchestra. I was taking an honors physics class that was killing me--Julie Jeppson's hilariousness maintained my sanity! I was kind of floating between a bunch of different groups of friends and still didn't have my license after being 16 for a month (I was scared to get it).

What I Was Doing Five Years Ago:
I was getting ready to go on my mission to Houston. I was crazy busy with nursing pre-reqs, including an independent study anatomy class that I detested. A lot of girls say they date more before their mission than ever before. Well, I was the exact opposite. My dating life was totally dry. I guess the Lord didn't want me to have any temptation to keep me away from the mission!

What I Was Doing One Year Ago:
Last year I was eight months pregnant and definitely looked it! I was finishing my nursing program at BYU. Adam had applied to a bunch of law schools so we were waiting to hear from them. I was working as a TA, hospice nurse, and nursing home LPN. I think about this time last year I was going crazy juggling it all so I quit the nursing home.

And finally, four people I'm tagging:
Adam (my ploy to get him to blog), Anna, Tibet, Maggie (sorry if you were already tagged)

Mo dawg! Funny what even your own sister can still learn about you! That was fun to read. I'm excited to talk to you about that family history stuff you're doing--i didn't know you were doing that! Way to go!
And thanks again so much for talking on Monday. It was so fun to talk to you. It made me miss being able to run a block down to your house, but it got me excited for the 19th!

I think I knew all of the "4 things nobody knows." I feel lucky to know you so well, Moof! Ah, 161: pre-veneers (I think I took your before and after pictures), fruit bowls from the Creamery, your cute notes w/ crossed "z's" and JYV.

When in the course of human biological events it becomes necessary for one person to dissolve the umbilical bands which have connected her with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle her, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that I, the father, should declare the statistics and condition of such individuals so separated....... so here is my post: Sunday morning: 0330: Martha, who has been contracting, wakes Adam. 0330: Adam, who is happy to hear that contractions are coming, is nevertheless content to lie in bed for a little longer. 0330-0350: Adam and Martha time contractions at 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes apart. 0400: Contractions increasing in strength. 0410: Joe arrives to watch Marian. 0415: Martha is not enjoying contractions which are strong and consistent by now. 0416: Joe's expression shows that he's never seen a woman in labor. 0420: Adam and Martha leav

Hello world!

Look at me, doing a blog post and joining Facebook in the same week! I guess it's time for an update since it's only been four months. I'll start with Liv. I can't believe she's already 4+ months old! She is doing great! I feel so blessed that she is so healthy and developing perfectly so far. In the last week she has started rolling over (multiple times so she ends up far away from where I put her) and grabbing things. She has also decided she doesn't like nursing from mommy. :( We'll see how long I can stand pumping... Usually she is a happy little person, but in the last two weeks she has screamed for an hour+ straight while being babysat (sorry Ang and Anne-Marie!). What a stinker! I told Adam she could write a book called, "How to Lose Friends and Frustrate People." At least she's good for me. Here are some recent pictures. She gets lots of attention from her adoring older sisters. Sometimes she's painfully aware that being the thir

And we're having...

By Martha -
another GIRL!!! We are really excited. She was so cute on the ultrasound--my favorite part was her little foot (measuring 3.5 cm right now). She wasn't doing flips and cartwheels like Mini was on her ultrasound so maybe she'll be a little mellower, more like Emmy. Most importantly, she looks healthy and her growth is right on. The only disappointment is that they didn't move my due date up at all. I was hoping to be moved up a week--away from Halloween. That's OK. The tech said she's actually measuring for November 1 so maybe I'll try to hold out for November 2 or 3. Seeing her made me so excited to get to meet her! As much as I don't love being pregnant, I'm so excited to have another little bundle to hold!
