A New Week...Finally!

I don't know about you guys, but last week was the LONGEST week ever! I thought this last week would NEVER end! It doesn't help that I have been sick, ALL WEEK LONG! I woke up on Monday with the voice of a smoker, with the cough to go along with it and a stuffy nose. So, I went to work anyways. Don't worry, I used hand sanitizer and washed my hands about every 5 minutes. When I got home from work, I totally crashed. I slept for about three hours until I had to pick up Andy from work. Then, I made some dinner...I don't remember what I made though. I think it was just soup and sandwiches. Which sounds really good right now! Anywho, I went to bed super early on Monday night, woke up Tuesday morning and decided I needed to stay home and rest. So, I didn't go into work. I had a little breakfast, a snack at lunch and then made some dinner and barely ate. I just had no appetite. For the rest of the week and actually still today, I am still coughing and blowing my nose and pretty much SICK of being sick! I've done the whole fluids and resting thing. It's just not helping. I don't know what else to do besides go to the doctor...which I am NOT a fan of at all. To top everything off, Andy has finals this week and had a 15 page paper due last week. Our house has been a MESS!

This weekend was fun though. We had our ward Christmas party on Friday! Saturday we were supposed to go to my Uncle's house, but he called and cancelled. Well, I didn't feel like cooking anything and I was HUNGRY! I suggested we just go to like Wendy's or something. Then, Andy got all sneaky on me. Saying "I know where we can go! But it's a surprise!" Where did we end up going?? RED LOBSTER!! Yummmmm-o! He took me there as an early birthday gift! My birthday isn't until next Monday. But it was so fun! We sat down and the waitress asked if we wanted anything from the bar...hello, I know I am obviously pregnant looking. Plus, I don't drink and I'm not technically 21...YET! haha

One thing that drives me nuts about being pregnant...the comments people make! Some people are just rude! The two I've been getting the most are "Ohhh, you must be having a Christmas baby!" Yeah...I'm not...thanks though. This is the most recent one I have been getting "When's that baby due?" "February 22." "OHHHHHH! WOW! You sure are BIG!" Wow! Thank you! As if I don't already FEEL large, I know other people think I AM large! It is just amazing to me what people think they can say to a pregnant woman. It's like you are free game. Oh, she's pregnant, I'm gonna touch her belly! What's up with that??! If I was skinny would you touch my belly? No, I don't think you would. I know it's amazing having a baby and people just love new babies BUT strangers is a completely different story! Needless to say...I have 10 weeks left! Then I will have a baby and people will comment on how cute he is and NOT on how large I am! Hopefully...

28 weeks down...12 to go!

I can't believe I have been pregnant for 28 weeks already! Well, actually, I guess I can. Andy and I found out we were having a baby VERY early. I was 4 weeks when I took the first positive test, 5 weeks when I took the second and 6 weeks when I went to the clinic for a doctors test. All three times my test was positive! Obviously. Being pregnant is like nothing I have ever done in my whole life. It is amazing and baffling knowing I have an actually person inside of me. Will already has SO much personality. Here in Utah, they start playing Christmas music on November 1st. Now, normally I am a complete ANTI Christmas music before Thanksgiving person. I growl and moan every time I hear it on the radio. Well, since I have been pregnant, I have been listening to Christmas Music since November 1st. I know, it's practically a sin, but I just can't help it. I love it. And I think I love it SO much because when I listen to it, Will gets really active. He starts dancing around and he is just so much fun when the Christmas music is on :) He also loves to play with Andy. Andy and I will lay on the couch and he will tap on my belly or rub it and Will pushes back RIGHT where Andy has been tapping or rubbing. It is SO amazing. I love to see Andy's face when he feels his little dude move around. I think it is so great that Andy plays with him and talks to him. I think babies can tell who is mom and who is dad and I think it is important for them to start bonding early. I feel like I get to spend all this time with Will and it is great for Andy to feel like he gets to spend time with him too. I also finally got my glider :) Andy's sister Nikki gave us one and his other sister Cassie has been keeping it at her house. I love it. I sit in it and work on my table cloth. I want to get Will used to the rocking, that way when he is here and I rock him in it, he'll think "Hey, rocking...I know this. This is nice." haha Needless to say, we are excited to meet our little dude :)

On other News...Thanksgiving was fun! It was kinda hard for me. It was my first without my family and I was very homesick. I made it through though:) I woke up early and made some waffles with raspberry syrup. While we had breakfast, we watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. My favorite part is when the Radio City Rockettes come out. They are SO amazing I think. I just love them. I got to see their show once and it was just the most awesome thing ever! While that was on, I also baked my first pie. It was pumpkin and it was yummy :) I was so nervous about it. Luckily, it turned out great and got eaten all gone. Then we went to my Aunt Lauralee's house with my cousin Kricket and her family. We had turkey sandwiches and cranberry jell-o and just hung out. We then went to Andy's Aunt Jean's house to see his grandparents. I got sucked into a game of Apples to Apples. I like Andy's Aunt Jean and her family. They kinda remind me of my famliy in the sarcasim and craziness. Then, I had another piece of pie and we left. Afterwards, we had Thanksgiving dinner with Andy's parents. It was fun. Lots of good food. We played this card game called SCUM...let me just say, it's fun, BUT it SUCKS! Basically, if you are scum, you STAY scum! It's fun though. I'll play it again one day. Andy and I ate so much food, I didn't sleep well because my stomach was in such pain. It was a pretty great holiday :)

So let me just TELL you!

First, BYU got STOMPED on Saturday! Go Utes! It was a pretty good game. We went to our Bishop's house and got to spend time with some people in the ward and watch the game and eat lots of yummy food :)

Second, We didn't get the house cleaned...Andy did clean the tub though. I will be cleaning the rest of the house through out the week.

Third, I made meatloaf yesterday for the first time. It was delicious :) But it is SO messy and gross to make. It looks like brains or something. Andy loves it though.

Fourth, I will just say, we saw Twilight and it was AWESOME! I am not a big fan of the actress who plays Bella, BUT I am also not a big fan of Bella in the books. Weird huh? What are your thoughts? Have you seen the movie? My absolute FAVORITE character in the movie was Charlie! He was SO funny! The movie took him to a WHOLE new level. He was just hilarious! I loved it! I also liked Billy and thought Jacob was TOTALLY hot. Too bad I'm married and he's about 4 years too young for me anyways. I guess I just have a thing for Native Americans :) haha Andy loved the movie too. I kept giving him insider tips about what was going on. We are going to read the books together :) That will be so fun!

Oh, I don't know if anyone else has realized this, but I have my baby in THIRTEEN WEEKS! THIRTEEN! Can you believe that? I know I can't. I am considering hypnobirthing. I want to do Natural Childbirth and Hypnobirthing is a way of pretty much hypnotizing yourself and relaxing your mind. It is just techniques to not focus so much on the pain. I am going to do some more research on it and talk to my doctor as well. Our hospital offers a Hypnobirthing class and depending on how my doctor feels about it, I will be signing me and Andy up for it :) I have just done so much research on the effects of birth without an epidural and brith with an epidural. Heaven knows childbirth is going to be a pain! I have read that labor is much longer with an epidural, you don't tear as much without one and recovery is so much faster. I just figure, my body was meant to do this. It knows what it is doing. I feel like it will totally be a mind over matter thing for me. I'm not putting down epidurals, I just don't think they are for everyone. I have heard good and bad things about them. Either people LOVE them or they HATE them. I think it is a personal choice about what you feel best doing. What are your thoughts? If you have had children, what did you chose to do? How was your labor experience??

Twilight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's weird, I go through spurts where I have NOTHING to say on this thing, then all of the sudden it's like "ohhh, I should do this!" Or, "I want to tell everyone about this" and I have tons to say for days at a time. I guess this is one of those times :) haha

I am pretty obsessed with Twilight. Not as much as some, but definitely MORE then others! Well, Andy and I are going to see it on SATURDAY!! Yippee! Right before the Utah vs. BYU game. Which, BYU will get their butts kicked!! Sorry to all you BYU fans, I love ya, but it's true! haha

So, this Saturday is a busy day! First, I will have to clean my house :(

Then, I will get to see TWILIGHT :)
THEN we get to watch Utah and BYU battle it out!!




VS.





I am pretty excited about all the stuff we get to do this weekend...except cleaning. That's not fun.

Just something fun :)

3. What was your most embarrassing moment in High School? It'll have to be the one time I was sitting with all my friends at lunch, drinking a Fruitopia, when I took a sip, John Michael said something funny and I started to choke on my drink. The sad thing was no one cared. They all just kept laughing at me. I had to get up and run to the the bathroom and make myself sick. Gross huh? Or the one time Senior year, I was wearing flops and I used to take a short cut to Weight Training and walk in the lunch room, well, there was lunch going on, and someone had spilled milk in the middle of the floor...and I slipped on it. In front of the WHOLE cafeteria. Totally busted up my knee. Mr. Green and Sigfreid came running towards me to help me up and I was completely embarrassed.

Ohhhhh the snow!

Just to catch you guys up on what's going on here at the Fraser Home: Halloween was great! I was Esmeralda and Andy was Egor, the Hunchback. People kept asking if he was Joseph and if that pregnant woman he was with was Mary. Mind you, I had HEAVY makeup on and a temporary tattoo on my neck, plus TONS of jewelry. Oh well...Gypsy's are a lot like Mary huh? Saturday, Andy and I went to Tooele with some of our friends and Andy taught me how to shoot a gun! Yep, that's right. 6 months pregnant, shootin a gun. I did pretty good too. I like to think I am learning survival skills, you know, in case I ever have to hunt my own food or something like that. This week has been pretty easy going. Monday we went to eat enchiladas with Andy's sister Becky and her family. We then had family home evening with them. It was really fun! Monday night, I woke up in the middle of the night with no breathing capability. And when I woke up on Tuesday morning it was worse. Still, I trucked through it and went to work. AND VOTED! Needless to say, my cadidate did not win, but it's ok. It was the lesser of two evils the way I see it. It was still the greatest experience! It was realllly crumy weather yesterday, and since so many people voted early, there was NO LINE! I walked right in with this big grin on my face, the lady asks "Can I help you?" and I said, "Yes! I would like to vote please!" And asked for my sticker too! It was such a great feeling to exercise my rights as an American! I loved it! I think I may be addicted to it actually! hahaha After that, I went to watch my friend Becca's little boy, Cameron. while she went to the store. He is such a funny kid! I went home, fell asleep on the sofa in front of the tv and woke up around 7 to "this just in, Obama has won Vermont" "This just in, Obama has won Virginia" "This just in, this just in this just in!" "We won't officially say Obama has won, but McCain has NO chance now." So, I tried to change the channel right? I love politics, but I really hate the whole play by play crap. I'd like to just know the end result, thanks. But it was on EVERY channel. The perks of having university cable! So, I watched the "This just in,..." With Shepherd Smith (he's the cutest news ancor) and peeled potatoes, cut up carrots, celery, onions and garlic. Made some bacon and then made clam chowder! Yesterday was the perfect day for it! I also make some rolls. Homemade...they were pretty good. After dinner, Andy and I watched President Obama give his speech. Then we went to bed. I hope that as a nation we can come together now and stop being so stinking divided! When I woke up this morning there was about 6 inches of snow at my house! Just over night like that! Urrgggg Utah!
