Poor David. I'm afraid I've been a little hard to live with lately; I've been extra moody. One night I was apologizing to David telling him how sorry I was and how I really am trying when he popped out with, "I think you're pregnant."

That was two weeks ago. As of last week, on Thursday the 26th of February, I found that I am indeed pregnant. We will be expecting a little someone to join our family near the end of October or beginning of November. How exciting! Jonathan will have a brother or sister to play with! And David and I will have a baby to snuggle once again.

Things are finally beginning to cool of here in Cyprus. The mornings have suddenly grown cold and the tile floors get chilly. In the mornings I'll change Jonathan's diaper, take off his pajamas to change him and go wash up. When I leave, Jonathan generally follows me out the door to go off exploring; in doing so, his bare skin comes in contact with the icy floor. Not liking the cold against his small warm belly, he'll try to balance himself on his hands and knees. It's really fun to watch.

Today in church we viewed and partook of all four hours of the Saturday sessions of the 178th Semiannual General Conference. Watching them while knowing we were a day ahead yet a day behind in the conference is strange to think on.

Jonathan has many faces. His smiles are the greatest. Today, however, I've seen a new one. For some reason, he keeps crinkling up his nose on the left side of his face. It's really cute, but I have no idea where he got that from.

On Tuesday, I gave Jonathan a bath. He has now discovered he can roll over in the tub too. It didn't take too long for him to figure out how to hold his head up when he rolled onto his stomach. At first, he just looked at the water and splashed a little using one hand at a time while the other held him up. After a while of that though, he turned over again. And again. And again. He was doing non-stop 360s going round and round on the slick surface of the tub. It was like a merry-go-round at a circus. How are you supposed to bath a rolling baby like that? It's hard.

This evening something spectacular happened.  Before I continue, here is some background information:  More and more I find myself singing.  However, I don't know many songs and much of what I do know of other songs includes some melody and no more than a phrase or two.  So, I just sing to sing.  I make some noise without any words. 

Little Jonathan just keeps on growing.  At nearly three months of age, he is almost 16 pounds. He's grown out of his first round of clothes and is getting big in both length and weight. I think he's definitely got a Carlson look about him.

I love being a mom.

Wow.  In five days our little Jonathan David is going to be a month old.  It's hard to believe that so much time has flown by!  But it certainly has been an adventure!

I can hardly believe there's only one more day to go before the arduous labor of giving birth begins. Just one more day before I can see our little one.  Just one more day before life as David and I have known it together changes forever...
