Conference, Happiness, and Hiccups!

I know haven't posted in a while... but here I am now!

The past couple weeks have been crazy with James' school and work, and my school; but now as I'm waiting for some school materials to arrive, I have time to catch my breath ;) For James though it's his last week of school, so no breathing for him!

Just... Breathe...

This past weekend was so great, and inspiring. I love the time of General Conference :) It enlightens me and I wish we could have it more often! ;)

There were so many great talks! Like always. But I particularly enjoyed Elder Holland's talk about defending our faith; and Randall L Ridd's talk about how we are the choice generation. Truly inspiring words from both.

I was also blessed to be able to attend the Sunday Afternoon session in person, with my husband and two of my sisters Hannah and Rachel. Hannah and Rachel had never attended a session, and it was so cool to be able to be there with them on their first time.

The beautiful LDS Conference Center.

I also finally figured out what something I've been feeling is! Ellie kicks a lot, and squirms a lot, and just all around moves a lot... but there was always this "tapping" that I wasn't sure what it was. My mom helped me learn that it is actually hiccups! And man does this girl hiccup a lot ;) It's so cool cause that just means her lungs are developing :)

I am 29 weeks along today. 29! I'm about a week into my third trimester, she supposedly weighs about 2 and a half pounds, and we get to see her next week on another ultrasound! It's so crazy to think how soon she will be here. But I can't wait to really hold her in my arms, and kiss her, and talk to her, and just look at her. :D

This is how I feel inside thinking about how close it is until
we can hold her!
(And I also feel like this is kind of how she dances at the moment)

So that's what's going on in the life of this bean. :)

Also, this is the only gif I could find of hiccup(s)... I think it counts!

I mean it kind of looks like he's hiccuping...
