Dad, tell me more about engines....

We're driving home from visiting my cousin and his family. The kids and I stayed there for a whole week. It was a blast. Now we're on our way home.

Gratton asked David how cars work, and how you make them go faster. David explained pistons and stuff, and asked if he understood. Gratton said yeah, I understand. Then he had his thinking face on for a while, and said- "Dad. Tell me more about engines." It's really cool how Gratton is so curious and wants to learn about everything.

For the first time in 2 years!

For the first time in 2 years, I don't feel sick! At all! My stomach doesn't hurt, I'm not nauseous or anything! In April (I think it was) the doctors told me that from the biopsy results, it looked like Celiacs disease, and I should stop eating all gluten. Well I did, and now I'm feeling tons better! I was still in a little bit of pain until last week when my new family doctor put me on a stomach medicine to help my stomach and intestines heal. It also treats the bile reflux I was having from the gallbladder removal. Well it it working, and I feel like I could do anything! Woot! I missed feeling normal! Gluten is awesome, and so is bread and all the other yummy stuff it's in. But I really don't miss it, because without it I can lead a healthy normal life again. While I wouldn't suggest a gluten free diet for people without Celiacs disease, for me I love it!

We're having a baby!

David and I are having a baby! We are due on February 6th, so I am fifteen weeks right now. In five weeks we find out if it is a boy or a girl, I can't wait. I keep thinking it is going to be a boy, so we'll see if I am right! We decided we wanted to have a baby, and like 2 weeks after I stopped taking the birth control we got pregnant! I honestly thought it would take a lot longer, but I guess not. I have a belly now, and I can't wear any of my normal clothes anymore. Luckily they make cute prego clothes! I haven't gained any weight yet though, even though my belly has gotten pretty big. Everything has just rearranged I guess. Every once and a while I get cravings, but not that much really. David might disagree though, I'm not sure. My little sister claims I am more short tempered now, which is definitely true. Being pregnant is not a walk in the park though, I think it makes everyone grumpy! You never feel good, you get headaches that don't go away. You have t

My first haircut!!!!

Image
Before After I win, I win!!! I cut David's hair, and it doesn't look horrible!! And now our hair cutting bill will be substantially lower! His hair grows like a weed, and needs a good cut like every 3 weeks. It was such a nice day today that we sat in the backyard while I did it. It was soooo much fun! David held a mirror at the end, so that he could coach me on exactly how he wanted it. The clipper set was only $27, and a haircut for him is about 20 bucks every 3-4 weeks. It even came with an apron thingy, and a neck brush and mini clippers and 8 different size thingies that go over the razor, and scissors and tons of other stuff. Basically it was a great set for a great price. Go Wal-Mart!
