Doctor appointment

Yesterday was my first doctor's visit. I took Jaida with me, so I chased her around the waiting room for an hour before we got in. They weighed me first thing and I'm pretty sure the scale said 111lbs. which makes me very happy. The last scale I stepped on I was around 116lbs. Anyway, we got into the room, and Jaida found out that she could open the door all by herself. So I held her and then sat down and helped her with her sticker book while the nurse asked me all sorts of questions about my families health history - I think I said "no" about 50 times. She asked me if I was on birth control, I said yes because I was. Then she asked me if I missed one of my patches...? I said, "No...?"

So then I had to strip down into the poncho with another little piece of material to cover my bottom half. Jaida wanted to sit on my lap so I read her a story while we waited for Dr. Fielding (no relation by the way). How he could be so happy at 5pm was beyond me, probably because I was his last patient of the day. He let Jaida sit to the side of me and said, "Okay, hold on." That's when he started to move the chair back down. Okay, Jaida just about had a come apart - I thought she was going to pull my little bed sheet off me. The nurse picked her up and Jaida hugged her around the neck like she was never going to let go. So the nurse took Jaida out front to the two receptionists. When she came back she said she was so happy to have a little girl hugging her she almost didn't want to let go. :) My cute little baby. :)

So the visit went as normal and they gave me my congratulations packet and I told them I would always try to find a baby sitter from now on. You know how you have a bunch of questions to ask your doctor but forget what they are when you get there? That's me everytime. This time, I'm just going to call and ask when I think of them.

Monty got home at 6pm and started packing for his training day up at the Murray Sherriff's Office. Nik didn't pick him up 'til about 8:30pm and then they headed up to stay at Tara's house for the night. They had to bring work out clothes, and a mouth piece. Monty thinks they'll probably get pretty beat up, but that's good, someone needs to kick his ego around once in awhile.

Zion Canyon

Yesterday I didn't go to work. Instead me, Monty and Jaida went to Zion Canyon. It was the first time we used our National Park Pass. Monty and I were both starving by the time we reached LaVerkin, and Jaida was hungry and crying in the back - she fell asleep just outside of Springdale. It was cold the whole way down and I was wearing long pants and a sweatshirt (Monty was in shorts!). When we finally reached the visitor's center we parked, pulled out the food, and ate. Jaida ate and played in the little stream running through the parking lot. I was so hungry I but could barely eat a small sandwich without throwing it up.

After lunch we walked to the visitor's center and looked around for a bit. The shuttle buses weren't running yet so we drove to the big lodge. There we walked over to the horse corrals - no horses. So we walked back to the big lawn and just hung out and relaxed. I wasn't feeling well so we couldn't take any of the hikes. The lodge had nice rocking chairs out front that you could just sit in and relax, and the big tree made big, big shade. :)

Then we got in the car and drove around a little more. Since we couldn't do any of the hikes and I had to be back by a certain time we decided to head out. We did stop in Sprindale and walk around for awhile. Monty loves to go in and look at all the shops so we went into one. I hate going in them because they all have the same things and they never change, and we never buy anything. We do want to go back and try a piece of Bumbleberry Pie.

Jaida and I fell asleep on the way back to Cedar. When we got there I had to go to Robert's Craft to get decorations for enrichment night. I got 18 hellium balloons and some table decorations. When we got home Emmett was at our house. He said that he'd gotten off at noon and came over to our house. No one was home so he just sat out on the porch. Luckily Misty came over at 2pm to let the dogs out and let Emmett in. We didn't get back 'til almost 5pm so he would have been waiting a really long time.

Enrichment night was pretty fun. The decorations turned out really cute and the room was very festive. We played Jeopardy - having to guess who certain people in the ward were with clues of "something that no one know's about you." It was hard but fun.

Monty recorded Survivor for me so when I got home I got to watch the great competition and then Colby get voted off. I still think it should have been Jerri or SheeAnn. Oh well.

Jaida, what are you doing?

Yesterday was the nicest day of the year so far. I mostly worked on Monty's portfolio - just putting it all together. We were going to go to Moab for my spring break but Monty has an interview on Friday so we most likely won't do anything.

The other day Jaida was playing in the kitchen and Monty and I were in the living room. It sounded like she was playing in our kitchen tool drawer, but all of a sudden I heard a squirt of water (or something). We'd just taken her diaper off and so I said, "Monty, what is she doing?" Monty ran over to the kitchen and Jaida was squatting inside the drawer with one leg lifted a little. Yep, she peed all over inside the drawer. It was pretty gross, but funny at the same time. :)

First weblog entry

Today I finished the Conference Meet database, the student elections database, and touched up the Expert's database.
