General Conference weekend

For those of you not familiar with the Mormon church (AKA: The Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints), twice a year we have General Conference. It's when all the leaders of the church(men and women) give inspired spiritual talks from the Conference Center in Salt Lake. And it is broadcast on TV, Internet, radio, etc. through out the world. (Total members of the church as of this past weekend through out the world is over 13 million!) This past Saturday and Sunday was the 178th Semi Annual General Conference.

A cool fact from this past conference was that it was announced that 5 new temples are being built. Including one in Rome, Italy! MAMMA MIA!

Here are a few pictures from our weekend ~ ( I have had strep throat for the past week) So, it was nice to just stay home, relax, eat delicious food, and watch General Conference from our home.

Fruit salad! Unfortunately, Ben put salt and pepper in the fruit salad after this picture was taken.......
Sunday morning breakfast ~
Peek a BOO!

Oh yah and don't forget the Rice Krispies treats!

Wasn't that a great conference? I laughed so hard during Elder Wirthlin's talk. And I especially loved Elder Uchtdorf's talk.

You are making me hungry! And yes, conference was amazing. I loved all the talks and spiritual insights. I feel like I can make it another 3 months until the next session. P.S. I am loving the new Halloween layout. I am totally in the mood for pumpkins!

I guess I jinxed myself with the second to last post. I was bragging on how "easy" this pregnancy has been. Well, the good news is that I have yet to lose my lunch, breakfast, or any meal with this baby. The bad news is that I have been losing a lot of blood and having sharp pains in my belly. This was day 4 of those same symptoms, and I decided to head to a DR to make sure everything was okay. The great news is that I saw the baby's heartbeat for the first time and it was strong! And the cervix looks perfect. Also, I went to one of the best OB Women's health centers in the west. The Mary Birch Women and Baby center is amazing! Their staff was wonderful! I was treated by a perionatologist (Dr who deals with high risk pregnancies) who just "happened" to be on staff that day. I felt very reassured after leaving that I had received the best treatment possible. (Shauna - I thought of you the whole time) I realized how blessed I am to always have such great Dr...
