past 2 days as well. To start with, Robbie is doing really well. He went fishing about 2 weeks ago and caught a 22 inch fish that we ended up having for dinner later that night (oh, it was so good). He was quite proud of it. He just finished up his last internship and will be going to school part time (to relieve the burden on his last two semesters of school) starting on Monday. Because of his school schedule he will still be working full time (and will still be getting up early to run in the mornings-he's amazing!!). He's doing really good and has been helping me out a lot too. He's such a great guy.So my excitement, among other things, involves spiders...which I hate-I have nightmares about them. Yesterday I was about to get up off our sofa after eating lunch when I saw a Hobo spider (poisonous) dart out from under the same couch. I shook for about a half hour after having to kill the huge sucker before it took off for another hiding place. Then this morning Gracie handed me her sleepy blanket and her baby and wanted me to wrap her baby up. I went to and noticed a gray piece of fuzz on the inside of the blanket. I went to take it off and just before I grabbed it, it moved!! Robbie said I screamed really loud as I threw the blanket on the kitchen floor in his direction so he could kill it. Needless to say, Robbie spent his lunch hour spraying the inside and outside of our apartment to keep all the nasty creepy crawlies out. Other than that I have had a lot to do with the girls and my calling. We were just moved to a different building and having to rearrange everything plus find a new nursery singing time person has been keeping me busy. No real pic of me...sorry.
Gwen is still having a hard time with potty training, but she has become mommy's little helper. She loves to
help cook, clean, do laundry and even do the dishes. She is completely off of the binkie now, which is good in some ways and bad in others (meaning she doesn't take naps any more). She wants every toy she sees on TV (Mommy, I want that...see Mommy, I want that!!), says "Yes ma'am" and "Ok honey." She even likes to talk to the baby. About a week ago she asked if she could talk to the baby and after playing "the belly game" (in which she bares my stomach to the world) she leaned over and told the baby "It's okay baby bruder...I love you" and also told the baby something about shutting doors. She still says that she's having a "baby bruder" and knows whats going on. She seems excited, especially when we see newborns on TV.Gracie is such a funny little thing...well, I gues she's not so little. She's 13 months old now and while she doesn't understand what's going on with me, she is so smart about other things. She says ok and wow, says "ickle ickle" 
when tickling your feet and "eww" at messy diapers. She's learning how to say thank you but she does now say "shoes." She has also mastered climbing up onto the couch all by herself and new dance moves. She has also discovered her belly button and her favorite thing to do right now is lift up her shirt and poke herself in her belly button. At the beginning of August she became really sick with high fevers (the highest getting to be over 103) and absolute misery. Turns out she had an ear infection, red throat and swollen throat and tonsils. On top of that, she was teething two molars at the same time . My poor little baby...they put her on antibiotics for 10 days and happily she's back to her normal self. I'm so glad.

Everything looks really good. My weight and blood pressure were very good and all the tests they did came back normal (which was a big relief). They actually found the baby's heartbeat this time and it sounded really good. I've been really worried about this 
one for some reason...that something was wrong. I hope it's just paranoia, but Robbie gave me a blessing that promised me that everything would be all right with the baby and my health through this pregnancy and that everything would go okay. What a blessing to have him around and for him to be worthy to give me a blessing. As soon as he set his hands on my head the spirit filled me and I knew that everything was going to be all right...that there wouldn't be any problems. His blessing was beautiful and reminded me of several things. It was awesome. We are very excited because in about 2 1/2 weeks (on the 22nd) we have the ultrasound where we can find out not only that everything is okay, but what the baby is going to be. I have an overwhelming certainty that it's a boy this time (and no, I haven't been influencing Gwen...I've only talked about this feeling when Gwen isn't around or isn't paying attention). Of course, there's a good chance that I'm wrong, but we'll see soon!! I can't wait, and we will let everyone know...I've already promised quite a few people that I would call them. If you would like to be added to that list instead of checking here, just let me know...oh, here's my little bulge.

I will probably not blog again until we find out what the baby is...unless something exciting happens. Hope things are going well with all of you as they are here (oh, we got to meet Pres. Boyd K. Packer's son 2 Sundays ago...he was a very nice, very spiritual man). Keep looking out for updates...
