Sept. 2012

  September was a fairly busy and stressful month. The first weekend we went to visit the Brigham City temple. Daniel really enjoyed riding the bus to and from the temple and sliding on the floor of the temple with the white booties.

  The second weekend was regional conference where we heard some great talks from our church leaders. The third weekend we really enjoyed watching the Primary program at church. The next weekend was the Brigham City Temple dedication. It was crazy as there were 5 Sundays in September, but only attended 3 Sundays of normal church. 

   The weekend of the 21st we traveled up to Idaho where we met my mom and aunt. We enjoyed the never -ending pasta bowl at the Olive Garden before my mom went with us to Rexburg where we attended a Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra concert at the new BYUI center. The concert was awesome!  Daniel stayed with my aunt while we went to the concert. It was his first time staying in a motel and he loved it. On Saturday, we went to back to Rexburg to look around campus. I haven't seen the campus since 2007 and it had grown so much. We made it back to Utah just in time to attend the Ward carnival that night.

     Daniel is quite the character. He says so many words and says the funniest things. Last week in church, I grabbed the back of his shirt so he wouldn't fall off the pew. He told me to 'quit playing with my tail.' We have also broken him from his binky except for nap and bedtime. He has done surprising well without it.

     The pregnancy is not going too well. Katina has been sicker this time than she was with Daniel. She did a glucose test and the levels were very high. She did another one last week with the levels being even higher, indicating gestational diabetes. Today she had to take the 3-hour test to determine what type of treatment to do. She sees the doctor next week, so will know more. The main problem has been the extreme fatigue, lightheadedness, and headache that occurs almost all day. Her last day of work is October 15th, so hopefully  that will help with the fatigue.

   Chris is still looking for work. He has at least 4 interviews lined up for next week. We pray he gets a job soon.
