Mandy & Mikes Wedding


Last weekend Mandy and Mike got married for all time and eternity. I love family weddings. We are really excited to have Mike join the family. They were both beaming all day. I love it when people are in love and even more when they get to be sealed together. It was a beautiful day and we were glad we got to share in their joy. Plus all of the Ormonds were in attendance and it's always fun to be with everyone.

I am feeling VERY pregnant lately. I'm 33 weeks and it's not fun. Everything is a hassle. If I was an Amazonian I think this whole being pregnant thing might be easier. Instead I'm "petite," or as I feel right now and umpalumpa.

Now I'm going to complain because I just really need too: Braxton Hicks contractions are no fun, standing makes my back and legs want to fall off, sleeping is an ordeal (I have to sleep with a body pillow and a pillow on my back and occasionally a cat will decide I'm comfortable too), I also love peeing every hour and having to wake up and get out of bed during the night to pee, waddling is cool, trying to shave my legs is fun, getting out of bed in the morning is painful, by the time I'm done with my morning get ready routine I feel like I need a nap, eating 15 snacks a day is annoying, not being able to breathe here and there is great, having to "rest" after going to a store or just doing anything is depressing, I cry over the dumbest things, I can't wear cute heals . . . I'm going to stop now. This is seriously a lot harder then I though it was going to be. I wish I didn't have to go to work and I could be a stay-at-home-wife.

Don't get me wrong. I feel very blessed that I get to be pregnant and have a baby boy, but this has definitely been a rough road for me. I'm looking forward to having this baby and being able to move around and not having every little thing I do be such an ordeal.

Oh Nat! Im sorry it's so rough. But I can attest, you can go through more than you ever would've known you'd even SURVIVE through, and yet the minute you see that sweet little face you know that every single second of pain and discomfort was worth it :-) And somehow you block it all enough to want to do it again... haha. You're doing great! and PS- I feel like I STILL cry easier ever since!

If it makes you feel better, I think you look super cute.

Since I'm also more petite, I'm not looking forward to all that pain though. Thanks for the heads up...? Haha.

Hang in there!

Yeah the last month is the worst! It's almost over though! Good luck with the delivery! It really is worth it, and we are crazy enough to want to do it again for more kids. lol Cassie is right. And yes, I cry all of the time now for dumb things. lol
