Elder Sweethearts

When I asked Paul if he wanted to celebrate for Valentine's Day this year, and what he'd like to do, he thought about it for a moment then came back with the sweetest idea. "We should take out my two Grandma's for dinner". I thought this was great! Paul and I get to express our love to each other daily, but why not express our love to others on this day. In the end we decided to invite both grandma's over for dinner at our apartment, and also included a pickup/dropoff service in the date. We had Hawaiian Haystacks for dinner and the Grandma's shared past Valentine memories. 

   After dinner we were surprised by a visit from Grandma Robertson's other grandson Keaton and his wife Sarah. So I thought this is perfect, let's have Paul dance with grandma Larsen and and Keaton with Grandma Robertson. It was a great Valentine's Day giving love and service to the women who are the reason Paul is in my life!

For Your Health!

     So the last week my co-worker, Peggy has been on a juice fast! Her son came home from Hawaii, had done a juice fast, and had dropped 40 lbs. So she is giving it a shot and I admire that. On that note I was at home one day with not a lot to do so I watched the documentary "Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead". In which Joe from Australia decides to give a juice fast a try for a whole 60 days. He is in his 40s overweight and has a rare disease which causes him to break out in painful rashes at any moment. By the end of his juice fast he lost something like 72 lbs and no longer takes medication for his rash. Awesome!
     So I'm sitting here like, yeah! I want to go on a juice fast, clean out my system, reboot and feel good (disclaimer I don't feel like I need to be losing weight if that's what you were thinking). Turns out however that you shouldn't do anything extreme like this while pregnant. So I thought hey I'll do it after baby comes and then feel great! Yet again I'll be nursing for sure and I've been told it would dry my breast milk right up! So I'll have to wait like another year and a half to do a juice cleanse. But I hope if anyone who reads this is thinking of a juice fast, and their current health and situation will allow, I say at least try it for a week and see how you feel! Then tell me all about it!
    At least for now I will be supplementing my diet with tasty green juices.

Showing!

 So this post is really late, but around a month ago I really started to show my little baby bump. These are photos from a month ago, I was at week 22, now I'm on week 26, and I will have a photo for that shortly. (Sorry these photos are really yellow!)
