some women love being pregnant

By
I've decided I will just endure it.

I love feeling . . . uncomfortable, slightly sick, LAZY or just not normal and unsure if it's pregnancy induced or if I would still have said symptoms if I wasn't pregnant. But right now everything is blamed on baby.  Although if I ate salad & a baked sandwich instead of a burrito, I'd probably feel a little better. Sleep would also do wonders. Vacations are never restful if it involves an airport & economy class.  Is anyone else like me and just loves coming home to their own bed & toilet?

But I love my brother and wanted to be there on his wedding day. Rand & Savannah are beautiful.
I left them a card with lots of marriage advice since I'm so expert now - 1.4 years, don't hate.
I just don't know what I would have done if Mr Smith didn't go with me. He saves me every day.

Needless to say, we won't be flying for awhile. In fact, I'd like to just stay put.
(although we both get that year twitch where we want to move apartments)
Don't forget, I'm lazy & baby is on the way. So moving is out of the question.

The family tried the baby name game while we were gone. Nothing is decided.
{Mckensie, Madison, Chelsea, Jacey, Aspen, Avery, Rory, Ariana, Kora, Nora... it goes on and on}
I'm not even sure how my mom came up with some of the ones she said.
Mr Smith & I are always back and forth, mostly disliking each other's likes.

I can't slouch anymore. The top of my stomach where my sternum meets the middle of my rib cage constantly aches. People say I'm small and boy do I not want to know what it feels like to be big. 

And wasn't this just a downer post?

The baby is kicking. I think she's trying to puncture my internal organs.

Is it April yet?

On a happy note, I love my no named baby girl (or boy you never know)
and I will probably go into her bedroom and stare at her things before heading to bed
because that's how it is. I can't wait to stare at her.

    I felt that exact same way with the whole ribs aching and being sore. That was the worst of the physical pain for me (thankfully) but it does hurt to sit and stand. I'm sorry you're sore! I promise that eventually your body will feel normal again. It will take several weeks after the baby is born. I wish I could say it was instant... but it does come back (at least it did for me!) and when you have that moment where you realize you are your old self it feels amazing! I happened to be in a Zumba class when it happened to me :)

And so it begins, again

At what point do you ... 1. Keep holding on waiting for inspiration to come 2. Try something different 3. Let go & walk away I'd say most of us are usually somewhere in between #1 & #2, but there are occasional moments where I find myself locked into another Jane Austin film with some oreos & milk ignoring reality all together.  Today, I'm trying to rise above some level of complacency & clear my mind at your expense. Mr Smith & I had a good run of it, but since blogs became obsolete in 2017 while Instragram chained us all to algorithms, I had no audience nor desire to write in this world. But times change, after it murders our souls, and alas we are famished for an authentic keyboard with less distractions again. So, let's catch up. They say it comes in threes... Since our job change in 2017, we experienced three more moves, three additional job changes (that don't necessarily align with the moves), and three additional children.  2018-2022 were ver...

Breaking Silence for Religion

By
I've never been good at being concise. I like words too much. I think outloud. And I haven't had time to blog all these conversations & posts & mental thoughts and it's eating at me to write it all down, to get it out there. These are some words that no one understands anymore: love, tolerance, faith, forgiveness, covenants, judgment, respect, moderation, self-worth, humility, equality...at least if they say they do, I wouldn't believe them. In truth, I think we should be forever understanding what these words mean. Yet I hear people affirming over & over again in their actions & with their voice that they want to be right and they want you to know it & accept the choices they're making. So much for democracy & freedom. They might say "to each his own" but I'm not idealistic anymore, people don't really believe that.  I reference "the world" a lot. Let's clarify what I mean. We can start with Holly...

Will We Seek Jesus?

By
God expects us to hold happiness and sorrow at the same time. It’s a beautiful contrary that many of us struggle to understand, but it’s really key to understanding our purpose on earth. We can easily find ourselves in a battle of emotions if we can’t accept that both can exist at the same time; we will falsely accuse ourselves or others as either ungrateful & weak, or overly strong & fake. Perhaps a lot of it is how we speak to the struggle.  Our main purpose is to experience heartache & frustration (one side of the coin), but to overcome it through the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, which provides everlasting joy (the other side of the coin). In order to really value the Atonement of Jesus Christ, many of us are humbled by the feeling of hopelessness. We will all experience some level of loss & acute awareness of our own weaknesses, usually when things start to feel out of our control. But what does holding both sorrow & joy look like? That is a quest...
