A couple of months ago, I bought new couches from IKEA. I'm not a fan of leather couches, but I also don't like that cloth couches get dirty. Well, IKEA solved all that for me by creating couches with changeable and machine washable couch covers. They don't look like couch covers, but they are removable and washable. I bought a couple of different styles, navy blue and flowered. I had the blue on for the first couple of months, but I did not like it--too dark and dreary for me. So for our 11th anniversary I asked Josh to change to my flowered covers and to put up my lace curtains, and I love it. The room is bright and cheery and beautiful. It reminds me a bit of the temple.
In other news, I am doing much better. Pregnancy induced hypertension usually gets better during the second trimester. My blood pressure is back to normal and I don't have to be on the medication for now. My nausea is also gone, so the only things I have to deal with right now are: getting heavier, feeling tired, and the occasional pregnancy UTI and peeing blood. All I have to say about that is how grateful I am for antibiotics. The baby is doing fine, and had been diagnosed on the ultrasound as a girl once, and as a boy twice.
The boys have yet another obsession with some small toys and cards called bacugan. Since it's almost the end of school, and all year both Samuel and Isaiah have been getting excellent grades, and Nephi is very willing and enthusiastic about learning how to read, we decided to treat our kids and buy them the annoying bacugan toys and to take them to the movies to see Aliens vs. Monsters. Everyone, but especially, Grace loved the movie because it was about a superhero girl. It was very funny to the rest of us. At the store the boys were very excited about their new toys, but Grace took no interest in them. Grace is definitely not a follower and not a tomboy. She has her own interests that are very different from the boys'. At the store she only wanted a pair of pink princess glitter shoes, and when we got home she wanted me to photograph them!

Pare miesiecy temu kupialam nowe kanapy. Ja nie lubie kanap zrobionych ze skury, ale tez nie lubie tego ze kanapy z materialu sie brudza. Szwecki sklep IKEA produkuje kanapy z materialu ktore mozna prac i wymieniac na rozne kolory, wiec takie tez kupilam. Kupilam ciemno niebieski material i tez jeden w kwiatki. Przez pierwsze dwa miesiace mialam ciemno niebieski material, ale on mi sie nie podobal bo byl za ciemny i ponury. Wiec poprosilam meza na nasza rocznice malrzenstwa aby on zmienil material na kanapach i aby powiesil mi firanki. Teraz duzy pokuj wyglada pieknie, wesolo, i jasno. Przypomina mi swiatynie.
Jesli chodzi o moje zdrowie, to lepiej sie czuje. Wysokie cisnienie podczas ciazy najczesciej spada w czwartym, piatym, i szostym miesiacy ciazy. Moje cisnienie teraz jest normalne, nie musze brac zadnych lekarwst. Teraz tylko jestem ciezka, zmeczona, i nieraz mam krew w moczu. Bardzo jestem wdzieczna za antybiotyki. Diecko bardzo dobrze wyglada, raz mi lekarz powiedzial ze to dziewczynka i dwa razy mi powiedzial ze to chlopiec, wiec zobaczymy.
Moji chopcy maja nastepna obsesje. Tym razem bardzo lubia sie bawic w male zabawki i karty ktore sie nazywaja "bacugan". Mnie te zabawki denerwuja, ale za to ze moji chopcy sie bardzo dobrze caly rok ucza i tez za to ze Nefi sie bardzo ladnie uczy czytac, to postanowilam im te zabawki kupic. Tez w ten sam dzien poszlimsy z dziecmi do kina na dziecinny film "Kosmici vs Potwory". Grace sie ten film bardzo podobal bo byl o superhero dziewczynce, i tez byl bardzo smieszny.
W sklepie, Grace sie wcale nie interesowala zabawkami chopcow. Ona nie nasladuje swoich braci. Ona ma swoje wlasne zainteresowania i jest nie zalezna od nich. W skepie ona tylko chciala kupic rozowe swieciace sie buty dla ksiezniczki, a jak przyslimy do domu to mi kazala butom zrobic zdjecie!
