Something good happens each day. Here's what happened in May:
Sun 5/1/11: Lizzy stayed through all of nursery! YAY! I stayed home from church today, because my little gummy bear was making me feel sickly, so Brad took Lizzy to nursery. Maybe I should have him do it every time. Lizzy was so happy to see me when she came home today she screamed and shouted, "MAMA!" Very cute. Then she began singing to me songs she learned in nursery and showed me her new finger puppets of Joseph Smith. I loved how enthusiastic she was.
Mon 5/2/11: Today we made our annual Mother's Day cards for Scott's and Emma's great-grandmas and Grandma Whitcomb. We do this every year, and it has become a wonderful tradition. Lizzy got to help this year drawing on the cards. She loved that.
Tue 5/3/11: I got a great report back from my liver doctor today! My numbers are back to normal, and I lost quite a bit of weight despite my being pregnant. That made me smile.
Wed 5/4/11: I felt my little baby move this morning while I was lying in bed. The sweetest little thing!
Thu 5/5/11: Brad, Lizzy, and I flew to California to visit my family in Long Beach. My parent's took our family and the Montgomerys to dinner at Don Jose's for Cico De Mayo. I loved seeing Rachel's big pregnant belly.
Fri 5/6/11: We played at nearby parks, visited old friends, went to Trader Joes, and had dinner at Soup Plantation. I loved spending time with my family.
Sat 5/7/11: Rachel, Craig, and Dad joined the three of us at Heritage Park in Cerritos. I took prego photos of Rachel, and Lizzy had fun going on the slides and saying hi to the ducks. In the evening, my mother hosted Rachel's third baby shower. I enjoyed seeing friends and neighbors, and watching Rachel open her darling baby gifts.
Sun 5/8/11: I had a wonderful Mother's Day with my mother this year. We went to church at Long Beach First Ward, then we had a yummy Mexican lunch at home. Rachel and Craig joined us in the afternoon.
Mon 5/9/11: It's nice being home again, but I miss my family in Long Beach. Grandpa North took us out to lunch at Virg's after he brought us home from the airport. I loved seeing Sushi when we got back to the house-- she missed us.
Tue 5/10/11: Husband had good legal news today. I'm optimistic everything will turn out great in the end.
Wed 5/11/11: My kids surprised me by liking my salmon dinner tonight. I've never had such positive reviews over fish before. It was nice.
Thu 5/12/11: Lizzy knows how to sing quite a few songs now! She knows how to sing most of "Twinkle Little Star," "Happy Birthday," and "Batman." She also knows some of the words to "Itsy Bitsy Spider," "Open, Shut Them," "Popcorn Popping," "Be Still," and "My Hands."
Fri 5/13/11: I went to my doctor's appointment to hear my baby's heartbeat. Lizzy had fun flirting with the doctor. In the evening, Susie arrived! We went to Sampan for dinner, then we headed to Gardner Village and the Jordan River Parkway. Lizzy had fun throwing rocks in the river.
Sat 5/14/11: We went to Thanksgiving Point this morning and had a great time at Farm Country. Lizzy loved all of the animals, especially the cows and horses. She got bit by a hungry sheep, but enjoyed feeding the lamas. In the afternoon Scott and Emma arrived. We had a yummy dessert after dinner at Leatherby's.
Sun 5/15/11: I enjoyed having Susie come to church with me today. I LOVE having my sister in town! After church, Susie's friend Michelle and her family came over for a short visit. We went to Bruce and Loralee's house in the evening after dinner.
Mon 5/16/11: It was sad saying goodbye to Susie today, but we are happy we will see her later in the summer. Today I got done some laundry and helped Brad out. I love my husband.
Tue 5/17/11: It was pretty funny watching Lizzy run through the house wearing nothing but her diaper, yelling, "No clothes! Naked! Naked!"
Wed 5/18/11: That little unborn baby of mine is a little acrobat! I love feeling all of the little thuds inside me. So precious!
Thu 5/19/11: While Brad went to the store this evening, Lizzy and I had some special mommy/daughter moments. First, we talked about going to see the farm animals last Saturday. Then we sang "Old MacDonald" and a few other favorite songs. Then we played "This Little Piggy," danced to some music, and then snuggled on the bed during some quite music. While we were snuggling in bed I whispered in her ear, "Lizzy loves Mama." And she giggled. It was so sweet.
Fri 5/20/11: It was nice having Scott and Emma spend a Friday night with us! I love them both very much.
Sat 5/21/11: The five of us went to Marilyn's house tonight to see two new guinea pigs. Lizzy was so excited to see them! She kept saying, "Pigs! Pigs!" Scott seemed to love holding "Alpha" the most.
Sun 5/22/11: Emma and I spent some time together sewing and crocheting. Emma has her own artistic way of sewing, which I think is both unique and beautiful. She made her cousin Kaylie a pillow.
Mon 5/23/11: We played "Apples to Apples" tonight after coming home from the library. It's fun being able to play as a family. Scott and Emma won first and second place.
Tue 5/24/11: Brad went to the U2 Concert today. I stayed home and enjoyed playing outside with Lizzy and picking lilacs. I missed Brad when night came, and couldn't fall asleep, so I stayed up watching the finale of "Dancing with the Stars."
Wed 5/25/11: I spent the whole day with Brad! I enjoyed watching the videos he took at the concert and looking at his photos. My camera takes great videos.
Thu 5/26/11: Ice cream cones tonight with Brad, Scott, and Lizzy. Lizzy looked like a little chocolate vampire when she was done. She had brown streaks going down her face.
Tue 5/3/11: I got a great report back from my liver doctor today! My numbers are back to normal, and I lost quite a bit of weight despite my being pregnant. That made me smile.

Sun 5/29/11: We had three YSAs show up to Sunday School today. Brad was thrilled to teach his lesson.
Mon 5/30/11: Today we celebrated Memorial Day and Grandpa North's Birthday with our extended family members. Brad's cousins, Craig and Jason, came with their families, as well as the Harman's, the Bruce Clan, and Marilyn & James. But the biggest highlight of my day was getting the news that my sister, Rachel, gave birth to her son, Eric, this morning at 9:45 am. I'm thrilled to be an aunt again!
Tue 5/31/11: Brad wrote me a love note today while he was at work. I love being in love with my husband, and I love him loving me back. He is such a sweet, smart, caring, and creative man. I love being married to him.
