A Handful Of An Update

I have been super busy lately. I definitely have a blogging "To Do" list and I'm going to try and scratch a few off today. The updates that have no pictures to go with them :( But stay tuned for my first pregnancy pictures, new hair cut pictures, and setting up the Christmas tree. For now, you'll have to use your imagination.

• First of all I had another pass out scare. I had eaten a piece of bread (apparently not good enough) and headed to Walmart to pick up a few things in a hurry. I felt fine and didn't have the normal signs of passing out (overheating, dizziness, burning stomach, ect.) I felt more like I was coming down with a stomach flu before all of a sudden I get light headed while checking out. I know what to do at this point. I have passed out so many times before and have had just as many scares or near occurrences. I told Shar to get me something to eat NOW and sat myself right down on the cold hard Walmart floor. If I were to pass out, it would not have been good for me or baby hitting that cement! Shar asked me stupid questions like what I wanted to eat. IT DOES NOT MATTER! If it's edible it will save me! So, it was another piece of bread and some Orange juice that we had just bought. That held me off until I walked over to the in-store McDonald's and got a hash brown and sausage McMuffin. All in all I was about 15 seconds away from passing out when Shar gave me the bread and juice. Isn't that sad...that I know how long I have before I'm a goner. I am well experienced in this though and so yet again another scare. Since I am pregnant, it might not be the last. I tend to nearly pass out more when I'm pregnant. Let's hope I can eat more filling foods!
• I went to the midnight showing of Harry Potter with my girlfriends and since I rested for about an hour after I put the boys down, I wasn't even tired and woke up at 8:30 the next morning! We had a great time running around like kids trying to find everyone and then securing seats in a nearly empty theatre. The movie was very well done. I was not disappointed by one thing. They had so much of the true dialogue in this film from the book. The scenes were done perfectly with pretty much exactly what I imagined. It was very much like the book. The only thing I would have asked for is for some of the emotion to be stronger. The action scenes were phenomenal, but then some of the thoughts and feelings of the characters, and things that were arguments or things that were a big deal to certain characters got down played. All in all, one of the best HP films yet. I would love to see it again and can't wait for the last segment!
• Sharrid has not had any Holidays off since he was in the academy. So we were not able to go to Thanksgiving this year in St. George. NOBODY does Thanksgiving like Willards do. It is a 3 day extravagant family reunion that happens only at Thanksgiving and I only see my dad's side of the family at this reunion. It is a bummer to miss it and when I do, I do not feel like it's Thanksgiving at all...just a nice meal. This year we had a Tri-family Thanksgiving dinner with a couple of my cousins here in Gilbert. I had a lot of food assignments (something I'm not used to) and therefore did not get one picture (even though I brought my camera). The food was good although it was a real bummer because we didn't have any turkey. I had proud moments with my food assignments but I am determined to get to St. George next year more than ever! I heard we killed it with our family silly song! Way to go guys! Can't wait to plan next year's! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
• My big Ultrasound is on Thursday. My thoughts to come in the next post!
• Our family Christmas cards will be out in a week! I will post the letter as well as the picture for all of you bloggers as soon as this weekend!
