we are in canada. we made the trip home for the memorial day long weekend. and we were welcomed home by a lovely snow storm. what is up with the weather lately? it snowed last week in rexburg. and this week it snows in calgary. the snow is following me. brutal. i ask matt several times a week if we can move somewhere smokin' hot when he is done school. i haven't convinced him yet, but i'm not going to give up easily.
i am using my parents computer right now, since i'm at their house. and i am having fun looking through all the pictures on it. i love looking at pictures. i can be stubborn when they are being taken, but i love looking back at them. i was a total bum about getting my picture taken when i was pregnant. not because i didn't want to document my belly, but because i didn't want to document my braces. yep, i had braces...for the third time. it seemed like a great idea at first. i worked for an orthodontist so i got them for free. and i am happy with the final results. but the 7 months that i was a brace face were really tough. i cried a lot. the combination of braces, bad pregnancy skin, and my ever growing belly was just too much. i did survive, but unfortunately have only a couple pictures to prove that i actually was pregnant. i found this one on my parents computer. it was taken 3 days before chet was born.
part of me that actually misses my belly and is excited to have one again. but there's no part of me that looks forward to labor again. with chet i went into it completely clueless. that's how i wanted it to be. but now that i know how it all goes down, i will be much more nervous next time it happens. i don't have terrible memories of the delivery room. it honestly wasn't THAT bad for me. but i don't like pain, and i don't like IV's, and i definitely don't like being so...exposed!
