STILL snowing! Actually, it started again today. Yesterday it was just grey all day with no snow, and warmer so some snow melted. But today it seems to be a blizzard again….

I went to the MOM movie at Jordan Commons today. It was Brother Bear, and it was so cute. It was JAM PACKED! I figured it would be more crowded, so luckily I got there early. Joe came and met me with Sierra and Eli. It was nice to see them. Every week when I go, I am so tired by the time I walk in, buy the tickets, and get to my seat. Carrying Emma is getting so hard. She is so heavy! I keep wondering if she really is heavy, or if it is just that I am pregnant and get tired easily. Well, after the movie, I had to pee so Joe held Emma for me. When I came out he said “Man, she is heavy! My arm was falling asleep!” And, he carries Eli all the time, so I guess I am not such a wimp. Yeah! Ha, Ha.

I did some errands for my parents and sent them a fed ex package to North Carolina. My dad gave me a tip for doing it all Now I can go buy tires for at least one of our cars! I think tomorrow I will go to SLC and buy tires for Scott’s car.

Saturday night Scott went back to the doctors. They told him it looks like he has Gout. His uric acid level was elevated, and he has lots of other symptoms–elevated blood pressure, high triglycerides, slightly overweight. Dr. Hayes was really good about it, and told him he needs to start taking better care of himself. He said Scott needs to get down to about 200 lbs, that he needs to exercise regularly, and that he needs to eat better. He really does, and I am glad that someone else told him besides me. On the other hand, he had been doing so well. He has lost about 19 lbs, and was exercising pretty regularly. It is sort of a bummer that all of this had to come up when he was trying–not very encouraging for him. I felt sad. I don’t like to hear that things are wrong with him. It makes me worry about him. I want him to be here with me for a long time!!!! I also hope that he will listen to the advice and really make some big changes. I love him too much to see him suffering!

Tonight we are going to the hypnobirthing orientation. I am really excited! I can’t wait to get started, and I can’t wait to hear what they are going to say. Scott is less than thrilled, so I hope that they are convincing tonight and that he will keep an open mind. I know there are tapes to bring home to practice with. I hope there are CD’s too, I don’t even have a walkman to play tapes anymore I can’t wait to practice. My back has been bothering me at night lately, I wake around 3 and have a hard time going back to sleep. I think that would be a good time to practice!

I have been working on my exercises to turn the baby, but they don’t seem to be doing anything. And, they are such hard work. My arms and shoulders get so tired from being on my hands and knees. I am trying to lay on my stomach more too. I usually start out that way in bed at night. It is surprisingly comfortable with pillows. Then I go to my left side. The last 2 nights I didn’t sleep on my back at all. When my back started to hurt, I used an extra pillow to prop myself up more, and stayed on my side. It worked! I will keep trying my exercises, and if it doesn’t work, when I am farther along I will try going to a chiropractor. Maybe that will do it
