Just a quick entry to let everyone know what has been going on lately.
Firstly, I totally forgot to add this a while back, but shortly before going to Nauvoo, I was called to team teach the CTR primary class. They are 5 & 6 years old. The first few weeks, we practised for the primary sacrament presentation, which was 3 Sundays ago... I thought it was great, and that the kids did a fantastic job. I taught my first lesson last Sunday... I thought it went pretty ok... Well I hope at least. My first lesson was on the resurrection, and that Jesus Christ is our Savior so that we are able to be resurrected. My class is great, and Connie, who I team teach with is fantastic...
I seem to laugh at one or a few of the children in my class every week... they are so funny, and sometimes just sooo completely random. Today, little Braeden, came up to me, while he was helping me pack out chairs before the lesson and said, "Sister Geddes...Guess What?", so I said, "What?", so he said, "I know something", so of course I asked him what he knows... and his response was, "I know that you are having a baby"... LOL... I just had to laugh at that one. Now, I am not sure if someone told him this, or if he noticed my slowly expanding belly and somehow in his 5 year old brain put 2 and 2 together... but, smart boy... LOL... it was very sweet. Good thing when he told me that little bit of information, that I knew about it too... otherwise I could have been in for a big surprise. LOL :)
On other news... Jake and I bought a new couch... a creamy-beige coloured couch, and a really awesome floor lamp to stand next to it. The plan is to get some nice bright cushions to throw on the couch, and to hang something bright up on the wall above it, but we haven't got that far yet. We also finally got cable... or U-Verse... and they gave us a really good deal on getting the DVR, so we can record all the shows we want to watch.. which although is a handy little thing, has resulted in Jake and I becoming evening tv 'bums' while we watch all the pre-recorded episodes of House and Charmed... We have become junkies for those 2 shows.
I am really excited, because tomorrow is my next prenatal appointment... It will be the first time that we are able to hear the baby's heartbeat on the doppler... we have seen it beating, but not heard it beating. On Wednesday, we are going for the next scan.. the nuchal translucency scan... I am really excited to see how much bean has developed since my first scan, where as Jarryd put it, it looked like a shrimp. I am 12 weeks 3 days today.. so I am officially into the second trimester, and I can't wait for it to feel that way. Unfortunately 'Bean' hasn't cut me much slack yet, and I am still sick just about everyday.... Grrrr... but I am optimistic that in the coming few weeks, that will be over. Or at least we hope.
Winter is well on it's way. Autumn has come, and in my opinion seems to be already leaving. We had some really beautiful colours on the trees for a while, and sometimes you still see a pretty tree, but for the most part, it seems to me that the leaves have mostly fallen off, which has made a lovely, colourful mess on the ground everywhere, so despite my objections, the inevitable winter is coming. I am sooo grateful for my black wool coat... I just LOVE IT!
Friday was Halloween... and I have still never dressed up or been trick-or-treating. LOL.. this Halloween, we stayed in and watched more tv, because Jake unfortunately had the flu, and well if he didn't have the flu, then I would have been stuck in front of the tv anyway, while he worked at the temple, which he still does every Friday night. I can't believe the year is passing so quickly. It's already November, and Thanksgiving will be here soon... not that we have any plans for that. LOL... and then it's Christmas (SOOO excited for that, cos we are heading to Utah) and then, it's another year and Oh Boy, does next year have a lot to bring...

Love the DVR! Although, we waste a lot of time after Maya goes to bed at night. How was your appointment??
