The Great Comparison

By
So I've been so curious how this pregnancy compared to the others.  In regards to health, I've felt pretty much the same.  I felt the baby move sooner, but other then that all is the same.  But in regards to growth I had no idea.  So here it is side by side.  Row one was taken when we first found out about the pregnancy. The pictures in row two were all taken at 17 weeks.

Up until recently I have felt much smaller this time around but after these pictures I can see that I have certainly popped!  Unfortunately  I feel like I'm at the awkward phase where I'm too big for my regular clothes but too small for my maternity ones.  I've pulled out my fat-pants, but now I just feel frumpy.  I think I'll feel better once I'm not in limbo land anymore. 

Anyway, here is the progression this time around. 
I feel a bit ridiculous taking these pictures, but I do like having them.  I don't know why but I always end up doing silly poses and for some reason I end up liking the silly pictures the best.  
I'm a Dork, I know.  It's OK to laugh at me.

I'm attempting to do the chalkboard thing which looked so cute on pinterest (click to see examples), but I feel like it has turned out more of a pinstrosity.  My ugly handwriting + ugly chalkboard makes for an ugly picture.  O-well, I'm committed now.

Anyway, so far so good.  My main ultrasound is in 2 weeks.  I'm super excited.  I can't believe we are already almost half way there!  Things are flying by.  The kids are so excited and talk about it everyday.  They are starting to understand the concept of time and are learning their months but it still is so far away for them to really get it.  I love how excited they are, it makes pregnancy so much more fun.  It will be awesome when they can feel the baby move too.

Anyway, I'll post pictures of the ultrasound in a couple of weeks.  
Until then, let the largeness continue.

yay! I love that you love pregnancies! I can just tell by all the pictures that you love them. You inspire me.
I'm pretty sure our family is complete, but if by chance we ever do get pregnant again, I think I'll take a page out of your book and just love it (easier said than done!).
You are beautiful and I love the comparison pictures! Such a good idea! Happy pregnancy, dear friend!

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...
