update/ramblings

What a fun month we have had! We started it out with going to cousin Cannon's 1st birthday party in Rexburg! Cant believe he is 1! That went by way fast!! :) It was good to see family and be with everyone! Hadlee also got to go swimming for the first time at the hotel we stayed at! She loved it! We thought she would since she LOVES bath time, and sure enough we were right! She enjoyed getting in the pool with Andrew, ( i was so not getting in 4 months pp). ;) But i have been working out since the beginning of March, so hopefully by July i will not feel so much like an elephant to get into a swimsuit at Lava :)  I just ordered the cutest swimsuit, so hopefully!  Other good news, we found another track to run at! So happy! Its a little further then we would like to go, but thats just how it is until the one thats by our house gets finished! :) We of course have been studying like crazy lately. I seriously cant wait for this anatomy class to be over with. I am taking organic chem in the summer, so by fall i will be applying again, and then if i don't get in again, then i will take microbiology and apply again in March. I want to just get all the nursing requirements done with so that when im in the program i can just focus on the nursing courses. It should be interesting since Hadlee will be 1 by then! Speaking of Hadlee, she rolled over today for the very first time ALL BY HERSELF! We were so happy! The only problem is she has not figured out how to roll back over from her tummy to her back, so she cries out to us to help her turn back over haha. Its pretty funny. :) On to other ramblings, we had a pretty good day at church today. Our lesson in relief society was on trials, and faith during those trials. I was sitting listening and then the roll book came to me, I marked by my name, and then i of course thumbed through to see who was moving and who was expecting. I noticed in the front part of the book there was a little card that had a pic of a couple in our ward on it, and words that said "we are adopting." I took a card to look at and passed the roll book on. I scanned the room to see if i could see the girl that was on the card (because we don't really know our ward that well of people by name), and sure enough she was sitting right in front of me. I put the card in my purse and started listening to the lesson again. I was so surprised to hear all the women in the ward that had been through some pretty hard trials. Mostly people just used examples from other peoples lives not their own, but the lady that was teaching the lesson i noticed was pregnant. She began to talk about how hard it was for her to get pregnant and i thought, how interesting that this girl in front of me just barely put these cards in the binder and this lady is talking about pregnancy. Anyways, to make a long story short, as soon as this lady turned her wants and needs over to the lord, a month later, she was pregnant. After relief society i came home and looked up the blog that was on the back of this adopting couple in our wards card, i read this cute girls infertility story. Her mom took her to the dr. at the young age of 14 because she had not started her period and her mom was concerned. The dr. did tests and said that everything was fine. At age 16 her mom took her back to the dr. because her period still had not started and anyways, to make another long story short, she found out in college that her ovaries had already gone through menopause and that she had no eggs left. She of course told her husband when they were dating but that didn't change a thing he still wanted to marry her even though she could not have babies. So now they are adopting. :) I  seriously felt like crap after reading her story. I had been so fortunate to get pregnant so fast and easy, and yet i complained through most of my pregnancy because i was so sick, fat, and at 34 weeks i got PUPPS. I love lessons like these that make me realize other people have it a LOT worse than i do, even at the moment i think my trials are the absolute worst. I would not trade my trials for anyone else's, ever, and im so grateful for being able to have children and not having to worry about having a hard time getting preggers. Its so true that their are specific trials for specific people in this world, and that we also need to be mindful of others around us when we are 'complaining' about how hard our lives are. Its not saying that im not going to complain, because i will, i will just learn to be more grateful. Anywho... those are my ramblings!
