Being a mom is hard...being the mother of a determined little girl is even harder. I think it is because I had two boys first, but mothering a little girl has been so hard for me. She can be the most adorable and loveable angel one second and a screaming, tantrum throwing devil the next. It is enough to drive me to the grave! We wouldn't give her up for the world, but we are most definitly worried about what our future holds!In other news, life is going pretty well. I had a Dr. appointment today and my iron is low, again. I was only at a 10. Oops. They are having me start some prescription strength iron supplements, this is on top of the prescription prenatals that I'm already taking - which are loaded with iron. Oh well, I assume that before this pregnancy is over I will be taking calcium supplements as well. I have had to take all three during each of my pregnancys but I am having to take them earlier and earlier with each one. One down side to getting older, I'm already falling apart!
Joe took Ali and Quin to Idaho for the day, HOORAY! I only have to worry about Clay and that is a piece of cake. We are going out to eat for lunch today and then spending the rest of the day at the church house working on Primary stuff - sounds fun, I know! I hate preparing for the beginning of the year because there is SOOO MUCH to do. A lot of paperwork and preparation that is soooo time consuming. I am grateful, however, that I have all day to work on it because it will mean there is less for me to work on when all three of my children, and husband, are at home demanding my time and attention!
I am looking forward to the holidays. I really wish that we were planning a trip back East. I really miss the East coast and all of our family there. Joe and I met out there so it has always held a special place in my heart. We are just so busy with school, work, church, etc.....there just isn't enough time to do everything we'd like. I'm hoping to spend Thanksgiving with my family because now that Clay's in school we don't get up there much. It would be nice to see them and spend some time eating good food, relaxing, playing games and such. That sounds like the perfect holiday to me!

I've heard having girls is much harder, my Mom and Dad managed three of us and I'm really not sure how...especially with me.
Can't you tell when your iron is low? I felt like crap all the time at the beginning of my preg and then they gave me something to help my iron and after that it went much smoother.
I have never even been to the east coast, in fact I have never been in a state that doesn't touch utah other than Washington, sad. :(
I'm glad things are going well. :D
Oh, little girls are definitely hard, but oh, so fun! Sorry about the iron. I still have that issue that was brought on by pregnancy and never left...hard on the energy level too.
