Heaven

This was me yesterday and let me tell you, it was EXACTLY what the doctor ordered! Up until after my massage yesterday, I was seriously MISERABLE! I know lots of pregnant women say that, and maybe it was happening to me so I could better feel how everyone else feels when their pregnant . . . who knows. Because honestly, with Parker I was totally fine up until my 39th week. Sure I needed extra help rolling over at night and tying my shoes, but other then that my body felt good and so did my spirit. This time around I am just drained! On Wednesday I went up to Jeff and said that I honestly did not think I could do it any more and I was 100% serious. I like to think I'm a pretty strong woman, but I had finally hit my peak. And that was when I really decided to go get the message.

Let me just tell you, it was heaven on earth. Today I woke up feeling 100 times better in body, mind, and spirit. I finally feel like I can do it. Don't get me wrong, I still hope she comes early, but I wont be so sad if she doesn't. So now I am feeling good, getting things ready for her. I've made my hospital list, my Parker list which includes what to pack him, his daily schedule, and his favorite things to do and eat, with a contact list of people who are willing to help while we are in the hospital. There is a lot more to think about when you already have a kid. I am so lucky to have such wonderful friends who are willing to help out and care for my little guy.

I'm starting to worry about how he will transition. At first I thought he would be fine because he was fine anytime we babysat other babies. But the other night I was bottle feeding one of our friends kids and Parker freaked out! He was screaming and trying to climb on me, he wouldn't even go to Jeff. I ended up picking him up and holding both of them at once (try and do that with an 8 month pregnant belly, not much room on my lap! haha!). Since then, I have been a little more worried about how he will take to this new baby. I'm sure it will be hard at first, but hopefully he will adjust quickly. Luckily my parents will come out when the baby is born and my mom can help me with the new baby while my dad and Jeff play with Parker and give him the attention he will need. But no doubt, it will not be an easy transition.

Well, I guess that is it for now. I've never been a huge fan of messages, but let me tell you, I am officially a believer! And I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone in need of a little pick me up. Here is the website to the place I went Solase, in-case you are in Provo and want to go where I did, it is in the same shopping center as the Distribution Center. It was great!

The Light of the World

By
I was asked to give a talk yesterday in church.  Kinda daunting knowing it was Christmas Sunday, but I think it went pretty well.  I like remembering my talk so I'm throwing it up here mainly for my own record.  But maybe it will bless the lives of others too.  I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that the Light of Christ will be upon you and radiate from you now and forever. Jesus Christ: The Light of the World Rebecca’s talk given on 12/20/2015 Jesus Christ.  Can a topic be any broader? I have spent a lot of time over the last 6 weeks trying to decide what direction I wanted to go and I kept going back to the same thought, Jesus is the light of the world.  This is not an insignificant statement, but very profound and very important.  Let’s start from the beginning. Many Prophets have testified of the fact that Jesus Christ is the light of the world long before the Savior was even born.  The very first sign of his bir...

Because God Love's Us

  How is Christ’s Birth Significant to me Talk on 12/20/2020 Good Morning Brothers and Sisters & Merry Christmas!   Heavenly Father must know my preferred method for giving a talk is procrastinating because I have been called to fill in last minute on many occasions.   However, this is the first time it’s happened on Christmas Sunday.   But I am happy to be here with you and I’m so grateful for technology that allows us to meet and worship together, especially during this Christmas season.   I’m not gonna lie, this is weird speaking on zoom.   I much prefer being together and making eye contact with you and seeing your encouraging smiles.   So please bear with any awkwardness I may have.   When initially asked to speak, Brother Smith gave me the topic of “How Christ’s birth is significant to me.”   My initial response was, could that topic be any broader?   But then gratefully he followed it up with “Particularly from the prosp...

Kid's Talks

By
  Riley’s Primary Talk on Baptism 3/15/20 Today I want to talk on Baptism.   Being baptized is a commandment from Heavenly Father.   We have to be baptized to make it back to Him.   Even Jesus Christ was baptized.   If Jesus Christ was baptized we should be baptized too.   When we turn 8 years old we can choose to follow Jesus Christ’s example and be baptized too.   When we are baptized and confirmed we become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.     If you have already been baptized, you should remember the covenants, or promises you made.   If you have not been baptized, you should study and pray and keep the commandments so that when you turn 8 years old you will be ready. We should all remember how important baptism is.   I am really excited I get to be baptized next year.   In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen Faith Parker’s Talk   2/16/20   Today, my talk is going to be about f...
