At my appointment today they told me I was 1 cm dilated. Being the google nerd that I am I came home and almost immediately started reading forums about how long women were dilated to what point and other silly things like that.
But I came across a gem....a blog called Tales from Labor and Delivery
It's written by a girl who works in Labor and Delivery and her stories are hysterical. The link is itsababynotbrainsurgery if that gives you any indication. (Mikensi if you don't go read this blog right now I will be really disappointed!)
Also I ran into someone at the doctor's office today who was due after me, but was on the way to the hospital to give birth. Scary.

Last impressions
This is one of the last images I have of Hawaii.
Yes, that is a wild boar chillin' in the middle of the street.
It reminded me of the time I was privileged to participate in this...
Hawaii is a place like no other.

So it turns out...
I'm still alive.
Shocker huh?
Mikensi said I haven't posted because Utah is boring. Not the case.
Utah is lovely and I am lazy. And loving it.
So many things I'd love to post about but I'm not sure where to start.
For now here is a picture of my still unnamed baby...
Isn't he cute? This time around in the ultrasound even I could tell he was a boy, but out of respect for my unborn child I won't post that picture!

Seriously.
Our table is full of things we can't take with us, and there are several boxes worth underneath.
PLEASE come over and take somethings.

Rad like Dad
Alysha's mom came to visit and she brought these ADORABLE clothes for our baby!
I was SUPER excited because we haven't bought anything for the baby.
So excited, in fact, that I carried them around all night like they were real.
And I got mad at Li for squashing the baby while we were watching TV.
He decided to play along and turned the clothes into the creepiest child I've ever see.

I was laughing so hard I very nearly peed my pants.And the poor kid's head keeps falling off.

Good turn daily.
Lately I've been clicking here everyday.
You should too.
Then if you do NOTHING ELSE you can feel like at least one thing you did during the day mattered.

F.R.E.E. that spells free
Hey we have a bunch of stuff that is not going to the mainland with us so if you want it come get it before it goes to the freebie bin.
Stuff like a lamp, rugs, books, clothes, baskets....you know, stuff.
Come check it out!
(This is us packing last time we moved to the mainland.
We HATE packing.
This is not the stuff we are giving away. Trust me, that stuff is much better.)

Fatty
Here are a couple of shots to help you get an idea of my pudginess.For the most part I enjoy being pregnant these days, it's so fun to feel him moving around and to wonder what he'll be like when he come out.
However, I have recently lost the ability to digest my food properly. And that is NOT FUN!
Also, I wish we had some idea what to name the kid.
Suggestions?

April Rules
Do you remember when I wrote this post about this article? You know the one where people did small things every day and got BIG results.
Well this is my mom.
On March 1st she did one push up (the "boy" kind, if you will) and was spent.
She kept at it every day and on March 31st did 15 push ups!!
That's amazing if you ask me.
This month she is working on her vertical jump. And I want to play too. I'm thinking I will pray out loud every day. It's either that or else red lipstick every day....but I don't have any, so probably prayers.
Who else wants to join in the fun?
Leave a comment if you want to play.

16 more days
We leave Hawaii in 16 days. Weird.
Right now it's looking like we are leaving our apartment in 11 days so we may have to actually take some of you up on that offer to come sleep on your floor!
I finished the Book of Mormon last night at 10pm. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE reading it all at once. It is such an awesome story. I find myself wanting to read just one more page and then one more and then one more. It makes me so happy. I started the Doctrine and Covenants today. So far so good.
I don't post pictures anymore because Li doesn't take them anymore. Ever since he became infatuated with our new video camera we don't have any pictures to document our life. Maybe if he ever comes home from the library/class I'll convince him to take a few so you can all see how pudgy I am.

Funny Story
Last night I found cheap tickets back to the mainland on the 10th and the 13th. We are supposed to be out of our apartment by the 11th so I wanted to buy the earlier tickets but knew there was a chance Li had a final that day and wouldn't be able to go.
I didn't want to miss the deal so I considered buying the later tickets and finding somewhere else to stay for the other 2 days. But I didn't.
This morning Li found out that he did indeed have a final and couldn't leave the 10th. We sucked it up and went online to buy the tickets for the 13th. Now there were no cheap tickets until the 16th.
Instead of finding somewhere to stay for 2 days we now have 5.
Sleep over anyone?
Camping trip?

Still here.
Yeah, my parents are gone, so no more vacation. But it is Spring Break at the high school so no work for me for 2 weeks.
If you need me I'll be at home...reading the Book of Mormon. (I got about 130 pages behind while we were off partying.)
Good news....I passed the diabetes test!

No sugar tonight
I've been dreading today for about a month. This morning I was supposed to do a blood glucose test to find out if I have diabetes....at least I think that is what it's for.
I was supposed to fast 8 hours, drink this sugary orange drink and then get my blood drawn within an hour.
I had been hearing all these horror stories of how the hospital here is slow or registration took so long that people went over an hour and the test was no good. I did not want to be one of those stories. I borrowed a car so the bus couldn't make me late and made sure to drink my orange sugar right before I left. Registration did take forever and I was getting really nervous.
After he took my blood I noticed it had been 1/2 hour since I drank. I mentioned this to my doctor and she says that they aren't supposed to test early because there is a really good chance I will fail.
Awesome.
The next test is 3 hours instead of just one.
Can't wait.

A veggie tale
Well we survived our week as "parents." And many things were learned.
In other news....
I've been wanting to eat a zucchini since we had pizza with it a week or so ago. I determined to make pasta with zucchini and some other veggies. Then I went to the store to buy one.
I saw lots of different kinds of long, skinny, green vegetables....but none with signs above them that said zucchini. Feeling like a vegetable imbecile I paced up and down the rows of produce. Finally I decided to buy what I thought looked the most like a zucchini and enjoy it, whatever it turned out to be.
I eagerly opened my receipt to see what I had purchased and knew I was a moron. I was now the proud owner of an Italian squash.
I ran to google to find out what in the world that was and felt a little better/worse.
Turns out Italian squash and zucchini are the same thing.

Engrish
My brother Brett is off being a missionary in Japan. He read the following on a packet of sugar....
Sweet and delicious sugar live a life rich.
What tea, coffee, etc. "are drunk for as it is" tends to be considered to be stylish. However, the drink in which sugar are not contained is not a thing which the taste and a scent assert too much and everybody can not necessarily drink deliciously. Then, flavors are increase and the thing which becomes much more delicious in putting in the sugar of one cup of spoon. Furthermore, sugar relieve tiredness and give energy. Delicious sugar are your allies, when it is tired with work, or when energy does not come out.
Don't you read so far and doesn't a slightly sweet thing become wanting?
I want to visit Japan.
