The Baby has Turned

So today I went to the doctor and we discovered that the baby has turned and is now sitting with her head down. It kind of made me really realize that the baby is probably going to be born before too long. Also I don't think we are going to be moving out of our apartment before the baby is born so Daniel and I sat in his room for a long time trying to decide how to fit a toddler bed, a book shelf, a changing table, crib and dresser into one small 10x10 room. Daniel did emphatically tell me it was his room so I can't wait to see what happens when the baby moves in.

The doctor did inform me that no matter what I did there probably wasn't anything I could do to stop the absurd swelling that seems to plague me. I just hope that the swelling doesn't get as bad as it did with Daniel.

Speaking of Daniel. Since it has been warmer I let him play out on the balcony. He was so excited. He has been finding dead wasps in various places and he'll come running in to tell me "bug, bug, bug! Need to sweep it up." Then we sweep them up and throw them over the side of the balcony onto the ground. He thinks it is really funny. I am just glad he understands not to touch them or pick them up. I think he would take it personally if he got stung.

Yeah for a turned baby - although sometimes I think it is not so fun cause that means their feet hit your ribs. Boo! Good luck with the room rearranging. And yeah for warm weather! Anna and I have been playing lots in our backyard. She likes to find spiders...only they ARE alive and she DOES touch them. Ahhh!

Sunday School Lesson on The Revelation

I teach Gospel Doctrine, or basically a bible study class at my church. It is one of my favorite things to do. This week I went a little insane and ended up doing a lot of prep work and just wanted to share it. We always run out of time to study the Book of Revelation in the New Testament, because it comes at the end, and always around Christmas time and everyone does Christmas lessons instead. This year I decided to battle the beast (pun intended) and taught a crash course in Revelation in 35 minutes or less. Obviously I had way more than material than we got to go through. Half of these handouts came from BYU Studies website, which is an amazing source of information if you are looking at a deeper view of your scripture reading. Another help was the Ensign come follow me article this month by Nicholas Frederick. Handouts There's a lot more info that's in my class notes if you would like that as well. Class Notes

Whale Watching in San Francisco

My sister and her family came all the way from Idaho to visit us. Naturally we had to take them to the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a typical July day, foggy, freezing, windy and crowded. We battled people on bikes and with strollers and the wind to walk onto the bridge. We had just made it to the first tower when we noticed a whale watching tour boat and joked about how cool it would be if there was suddenly a whale that came out of the water. About ten seconds later, A WHALE CAME OUT OF THE WATER! It didn't ever do the complete National Geographic flip over or show it's tail, but there was a Humpback Whale feeding, and it kept coming up to eat. It was amazing. AMAZING. We spent almost 40 minutes watching the whale, possibly whales at the time. There was one in particular that came over, right below us the kids could all see it, and it was so close we could see the barnacles on the mouth, and it rolled and was putting on quite the show for us. It was an amazing sigh

Sewing Quilts with Daniel

Daniel is not one to sit still very often at all. My parents say that he is totally my son and that I drove my mom crazy too but frankly I can't remember that far back. There is one thing that Daniel loves to help me with, and that is sewing. He loves the machine and loves to sit in my lap as we sew anything. Sometimes I think about just sewing straight lines down my endless supply of fabric because I know he will sit still for awhile. A few months ago I had a good friend show me how to make rag quilts. The first one that Daniel and I sewed together was for my niece Abigale. Then of course I had to make one for my nephew Joshua. Then I decided to make one for Daniel. I was going to make a transportation one, full of trucks and planes and boats, but when I took him to the fabric store, much to my surprise and delight he chose dragons over the airplanes. So we started his quilt last week. He sat on my lap or next to me while we sewed every piece together. He was so excited
