Heartaches and love

So today is pioneer day and as such I feel it is a time of reflections and family. However, family is something that I both love and dread. I love my brothers dearly but I also want to shake them. They have no respect for me, my family or the choices that we have made. I know that we each of free agency to choose. I just wish that the respect and "acceptance" that they expect from me would be given to me and my family. I think what makes me the most angry is that they don't seem to see that the most important thing in this life is not instant pleasure or the next big thing but it is family. My children are amazing, even if I do say so myself. They know the truth and I hope and pray that one day my brothers hearts will be softened and their eyes opened. They have some much to give in this life. I just wish they would see that there is more to life than drinking, criticizing and belittle others beliefs and choices. However, I am grateful for the amazing Son of God who I have married. He is so patient and loving with my brothers and bears all things with them meekly. I have to thank the Lord for this amazing blessing in my life. I hope and pray that our son will be like his father.

Hyrum's time table

So Tuesday I went for a visit to the ob clinic. I knew there was a possibility that my due date would be moved up, but to October 30th. Two weeks ahead of our schedule. So I am now coming to the reality that some of my goals are not practical. So here is my new baby to do list:   
 1. Paint Hyrum's room and get it set up
  2. Finish getting laundry caught up
  3. Get the house organized (a place for everything and everything in its place)
  4. Learn how to make a carseat and nursing cover for Hyrum
  5. Get Mackenzie ready to be a big sister
  6. Clean out my car!
  7. Finally help Eric clean out his car ew!
On a more positive note Mackenzie is almost completely moved into her big girl room. She loves her big girl's bed. More later, getting too much help.
