But I want to do a better job of updating this blog so I'll update anyway.
Things are great for us :) We loved General Conference...
... as you can see.
No we really did, this was just the very end of the second Saturday session. Love my boys. I enjoyed all of the talks, especially the ones on parenting, I thought were especially pertinent to myself. But the talk by President Eyring on the Book of Mormon was awesome. He invited us to drink deeply from the pages of the Book of Mormon daily. I appreciated his message.
The pregnancy is going well :) I wish I could get an ultrasound at each prenatal appointment so I can watch my baby grow. I can't get enough of the pictures I have from my 10 week check-up. I'm now 13 weeks and feeling good. I haven't dealt with a lot of pregnancy sickness, although I have had a cold and flu here and there. I never did get an ultrasound of my rib, but if it was fractured it's slowly healing. I took some antibiotics and that helped a lot with the cough, along with a blessing I got from Jacob. So I'm mostly better! Yay.
Nick had a bad flu last week. It had been circulating around our ward, but he's better now.
We'll find out the gender of the baby on November 28th! I'll be 21 weeks. That's later than I would have liked but it was between either barely 19 weeks or 21 weeks and I don't want to risk having a mis-reading, so I opted for the later.
Jacob is working, working, working! The first couple years as a teacher are the hardest because it's so much to get used to. But we're excited for the end of this first term because then he'll just be re-teaching all the stuff he has taught so far. And he already taught the second semester material during his semester of student teaching earlier this year. So we're going to celebrate by going to Apple Hill on the 15th! I cannot wait! I love Apple Hill because it brings back so many memories from when I was young and it's so wonderful to enjoy the fall season up in the Hills. And of course, I cannot wait for the Apple Pie! Yum, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
We were tempted to think about buying a house with these phenomenally low interest rates, but we decided it would be better to wait a couple of years, since a teaching job is not exactly the most reliable thing in CA right now ;) I had even found the PERFECT house and everything :( But we don't want to dig ourselves too deep too soon. The place we're at right now is great, and we love our ward. So I'll just have to be patient.
Life is great, we are so blessed! We're so excited for the festivities of this Holiday season, and for all the babies that will be coming to our friends and family within the next few months! It's a mini baby boom. Gotta love it!

I love the cooler weather too! I miss Apple Hill. I'm glad you guys are going soon. How fun! I love creating traditions in my own little family.
Where were you guys looking into homes?... where do you think you might eventually end up?
I can't wait to find out what you're having. Nov 28th sounds do far away, but it's only 8 weeks :) :)
I love the picture of the guys watching conference!!! Ha Ha Ha!!! I loved conference too!! I'm glad you are feeling better and I can't want to find out if you guys are having a boy or girl!!!!
I think my favorite talk was from Elder Andersen about how having children is a gift and that we shouldn't put it off, but we also shouldn't judge others based on how they decide to have their family. I think that's a message that definitely needed to be given. Anywho, I've never been to Apple Hill. I just imagine a hill with a whole bunch of apple trees all over it. I'm sure there's more to it than that, but I just interpret the name so literally. Where was this "perfect" house you found? Just curious. That would be super awesome if you guys ended up in Wilton. Then maybe we'd actually hang out more. ;)
Katie, that talk is the main one I was thinking of too. "Our" house was off of Elk Grove-Florin between Sheldon and Calvine. 5 min. from Jacob's work. So we would have been much closer, Katie. A little further from you, Emily ;)It was a 4 bedroom 2 bath with a great backyard, and the price had just dropped a lot. It was a great deal. Oh, and I loved the wood flooring it had. Ah well, in due time. Thinking that it's now less than 8 weeks away actually does help Emily! Thanks. Katie, are you guys going to find out the gender? When?
