Monday night Mom, Dad, Sterling, Traci, Josh, & Summer came up to St. George and threw a little party for me! They brought take-out chinese food and Mom made a delicious Chocolate Cherry Brownie dessert and we all ate the yummy food, then Summer & Traci took me into my room to give me little massages (which were awesome) and then when we were done we went back into my living room it was all decorated with birthday and fall stuff! Awesome! Then I got to open the presents my mom, dad, nicole, & Traci gave me and it was all awesome stuff!! My favorite has to be the camera my parents gave me. It's a cute Kodak 6.1 mega pixel. I already took some pics! Yeah!!! Now I can take all the pics I want of my growing belly and as soon as he comes out my little boy! So, news on the pregnancy, I was experiencing some cramping (maybe extremely mild contractions) on monday and tuesday and I also spotted a little bit which is never a good sign. So I went to the Dr. office and they tested me for infections and sure enough I have a bladder infection... *sigh* so now I am on antibiotics for the next 5 days. I hate taking pills! Oh well, I'd rather get better then stay having the mild pains on my stomach. They baby is kicking more then ever now, his favorite time to kick and do morse code on the inside of my tummy is usually sometime between 12 and 4 am!!! He is such a busy kid while I'm trying to sleep! I hope this isn't an indication of the future... He is still growing lots and I just love him already. As of today I am exactly 28 weeks along, meaning right about 6 months. 3 more months. This is gonna get good

Okay so I'm just minding my own business reading the news and other stuff on the internet and I come across this title:

Maine middle school to offer birth control

School board approves pills and patches for students ages 11 to 13

And I'm just about to explode!!! I don't want my little boy in a world that says "hey we want little boys and girls to think that its ok to have sex, but instead of letting them get consequences if they do, lets take it away with some pills"!!!!! Arrgh!!! I just want to scream! What is this world coming to? Why would people condone 11 - 13 yr old kids having sex? This world is getting worse and worse and it just makes me sick to my stomach. I am thoroughly disgusted. Sick, Sick, Sick people!
It makes me scared for my little boy, who is about to enter this scary evil world.

Traci's b-day was on Thursday (as was Henry's) and all the family that could got together to eat dinner at Traci's choice of restaurant... which was Olive Garden! Yum! That was a fun evening with everyone even though it ended kinda late for me cause I was in a car 2 hrs both ways, but that was okay cause Traci is totally worth it! She is 15 now and getting to be so grown up and beautiful... I kinda think she is gonna be way prettier then me soon! But thats okay. I also got to see Bobby for a few hours this weekend which was sooo nice! But it was kinda annoying too cause I got to be with him for a few hrs then he left and I was like, that was definitely NOT long enough! Just enough to tease me and make me feel a little bit better then, SNATCH he's gone again! But he is doing good, just working and trying to get by. This morning and last night baby was moving alot!!! I couldn't get to sleep forever and then I woke up again at about 6:30 cause he was moving and stuff, and it actually kinda hurt, he was pushing a lot. I really hope he was trying to do some somersalts or something cause right now he is breech and he definitely needs to change positions! A lady I met at church on Sunday asked about baby and we just got to talking and when she found out how far along I was she was like "oh he's a big boy, you are gonna have a big baby!" I was just like, uh, no I hope not!! I don't want a 8 or 9 lb baby coming out! 6 or 7 lb will work out just fine thank you very much! But since I don't Really have a say, I will just take what I get hehehe.

Okay so today at Rasmussen where I work, we have decided to get rid of our water cooler and start buying cases of bottled water. I started thinking about how much of a waste that is and so I started looking into recycling all the bottles. What a waste right?! So I found a place that accepts plastic bottles and told my boss that we could recycle there and his response was "are they gonna pay us? are they gonna pick up the plastic?" Oh my goodness!!! We have to get paid or at least do little or no work to do a good deed?! Gosh how silly!!! Oh and the good times don't stop there, other reactions I got when I said we should recycle and that everyone needs to participate were "Landfills accept plastic too ya know." or "Why do we need to recycle?" or "It won't matter in a hundred years so why bother?" And lots of other groans and moans about having to throw their bottles into a different bin then their trash cans at their desks!!! Holy Cow!! What is the world coming too? Arrgh!! I am gonna have fun "helping" people recycle their bottles. Anyways, I'm just a little frustrated at the lack of willingness in the matter of recycling. It's really not a hard thing. Sheesh...

Little guy and me went and got pics taken together today and these are them! Top Right has his little foot in it, Top Left has a good pic proving that he is still a little boy! Bottom right has his little arm, & Bottom left you can see his little face! He is already a cute little kid! YEAH! He weighs 1 lb & 12 oz as of today. More updates later!

This weekend I got to go shopping Friday night with the family, then out to eat at the Golden Corral, then we went to Moapa. On Saturday we watched General Conference and that was an interesting experience, since being pregnant has made me a bit ansy. I have a hard time sitting in one position for a long period of time, so I get really restless and usually end up bothering the people next to me to help relieve some of the restlessness. Hehehe Poor Traci sat by me the whole time so she got most of the bothering :) But the talks were good of course. When the boys went to the priesthood session us girls had an ice cream party, which was pretty fun, and then Traci read part of her book to us girls and it is turning out to be a very good book! She isn't finished with it yet so it is such a teaser! She got me all excited and now I can't even know what happens for a while! Sheesh! The suspense! Anyways, Sunday wasn't too exciting, quite and just relaxing, except I was even more restless during conference :) again, poor Traci ;) Dad brought me home to St. George last night and we had a good talk together on the way home. It was good.

Okay so yesterday & last night was my first day & night without Bobby. It was hard. I wanted to think about him all the time but if I thought about him too much I just wanted to cry... So I had to do a lot of distracting. At work, I was able to talk to other people and play on the computer, but then I went shopping and every time I saw something that he would have liked to get or that I would have liked to fix for him I had to divert my attention or embarrass myself. So I did a lot of diverting. Then I went home and did lots of chores and made dinner that he would have liked and then watched tv. That helped keep my mind off stuff. Then when I went to bed, the bed was so big and huge and empty! I didn't think about it too much cause I was too tired to think about how lonely that big bed is. But Bobby made it to Soda Springs fine, and is having a fine time. I know he misses me but he is doing good I think. He is getting to see his family and his friends. He told me last night that his friend & dad were gonna go to a place that is only 200 miles from soda springs, ID to see on a different job that is pretty rough and tough but it will pay much better and he will have 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off, so he is gonna go apply or see about the job on Friday and I really hope that he can get this other job. It would be way easier on me & him I think to be able to do that. Anyways, its thursday and tomorrow is Friday and I will get to go home for the entire weekend and that will be nice to not be by myself. Baby was really quite yesterday, didn't move around a whole lot. I think he probably either felt my mood or else knew something wasn't right when he couldn't hear Daddy. We are thinking about calling him William Bryce Gentry. Its the only name that has seemed to be close to fitting the boy in my belly.

Okay so it was the cutest thing last night, Bobby & I were watching a movie and he was laying on my lap, but since he was laying down he fell asleep with his face against my tummy. Well, Baby didn't want Daddy to be sleeping so he started kicking my belly right where Bobby's face was! It wasn't anything strong enough to wake Bobby but it was just the cutest thing! I think this little boy is gonna give dad a run for his money! LOL

So today was Bobby's last day working at Rasmussen, and I am pretty sad. I am gonna miss him so much while he is gone in Wyoming. It's been a typical boring monday today, a few phone calls at work, going to the bank for deposit, blah blah blah... but I am planning the Christmas party, which I hope will turn out good. I don't know who I am gonna take as my "date" since my love will be in Wyoming and I doubt that he will come down just for a party, so I will probably end up asking one of my parents like I did last year. The baby is kicking and all is good with him so far. I go see another dr. next monday and I am having another ultrasound. My regular Doc said that my uterus looked really thin by my cervix when I was in last time so she is getting a second opinion to make sure there is nothing to worry about. But I am not too worried. I just hope the baby is just fine. I still can't think of a good name for him... but I am sure me & Bobby will come up with something good sometime... So, tonight we might have some friends over to watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail. But if not then we will probably just have some good quality alone time.
