Hello Roomies

Just thought I'd update you - I've been on bedrest for 5 weeks now, on meds and trying to slow down contractions so these babies stay in longer. I'm 34 weeks along today (YAY!!!!). Jared's mom came to help out for a couple weeks, now my mom and Bryce are in town helping. They'll be here until the babies come and then a little after to help out with the twins and with moving. Then after, Jared's parents are able to come out for a couple weeks. Thought I'd update you!
love to you all, Megan

Your Mego is Prego . . .

Hello Roomies! I would LOVE to know what is going on in your lives - what are you up to? how are you? what are you doing? what are you into now? any exciting plans in the near future? summer plans?

I know our dear little Manthighs is getting married, but that's about all the news I know from our collective apartment. What's up with that? p.s. Manthighs, SOOOOOOOOO excited for you!!!

To do my part, I would like to update all of you, even with the slight possibility that you may never check this blog in the near future.

I am pregnant again! I am due on October 12, but the babies will come earlier than that? Was that a typo you say? No, in fact it is not. I had an ultrasound 2 days ago for my 20 week appointment and yes, your Megnog and Merry are having twins! Can you believe it? It's pretty crazy. We are having a boy and a girl, which we are totally stoked about.

Logan is turning 3 this September and is adorable as ever. He constantly amazes me with his personality, his intelligence, with everything he picks up on. He is absolutely wonderful. We love him so much. He is already an amazing big brother.

So, there you go. Bam said the lady, you've been updated.

Love to you all.

Thank you OB Tampons

Watch out for those boobies!

I heard a great story tonight and had to share immediately, before I procrastinated it to never. So my parents just got back from a cruise they went on with some friends. One of those friends, we shall call her Anne, is one hilarious lady. She used to be a nun and a ballet teacher, then a candy maker with her now deceased husband. And she wears her hair in a braided bun on the top of her head, like a bird's nest. Needless to say, there are always good stories and laughs when she's around.

Anyway, so one morning on the boat she was getting ready for the day and she couldn't find her bra. She searched high and low in the small boat cabin, but could not find it anywhere. Finally she decided to wear her back-up bra. And she was uncomfortable all day. She kept complaining about how tight it was and was concerned that maybe she had gained too much weight and that was why it wasn't fitting as well. Terrible day. Eventually the end of the day came and Anne went to change into her pajamas, only to find that she'd been wearing BOTH bras all day. Yes ladies, that is right. She was wearing 2 bras. Not only was she already wearing it when she was searching for it, she didn't seem to notice when she put the second bra on - that she already had a bra on! Now I realize we all wear an extra layer there that other worldly people do not, but seriously! I laughed my little patooty off and knew the story was WOFYB worthy. So enjoy.

Hugs and Rainbows,
Shenanny

Nurse Phyllis is alive!!!

Hey ladies, I know I'm probably the most horrible person for not writing on this blog, I don't really have a good excuse, I hope you can forgive me! Here is a quick rundown on my life:

I moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma!!! At the end of last year I graduated nursing school and I decided to move out of state for a job. I looked all over and came across a hospital in Tulsa that hired new graduates. I continued my search, mostly looking east coast when the Big Man upstairs decided that Tulsa was where I should go. So I finally quit Allen's Camera (after almost 10 years), and at the end of March packed up my car and headed to the midwest. I stayed with a friends parents (who I had never met until I showed up on their front doorstep) and started applying for jobs. Within a month I had one!

I'm working at St. Francis Hospital on a specialized cardiac unit. It's an ICU step-down unit which means I take care of patients who have had some sort of cardiac or thoracic surgery (such as open heart surgery or a thoracotomy) and they stay with us until they go home. It's a lot of hard work but it is very rewarding. I've met a lot of great people and I am learning a lot too. I think it's going to be great!

My little sister OrLynne got married in May so that leaves me and Nyle (my youngest bro) as the only single kids in the Sampson clan. My sister-in-law Amber who is married to Micah (the marine) gave birth to two adorable twin girls two weeks ago. They are the cutest little babies ever (of course I'm not biased or anything!)

Life is definitely different in Tulsa than it is in Happy Valley. I really like it though except for the 30+ days of temperatures over 100 degrees. I started going to the singles branch here as soon as I arrived and within two months I was called to be the Relief Society President. Yes you read that right, I am the new R.S. Pres for the Tulsa University Singles Branch. Talk about strange and unexpected. At first I felt completely unqualified and overwhelmed but the Lord has really guided and directed me to help the sisters here in Tulsa.

I made a quick trip back to Utah last week (MegNog I'm sorry I didn't call you but I was only there for a few days and the family completely monopolized my time). I got to see my cute twin nieces and I also decided to take out my endowments. I went through the Mount Timpanogos Temple and it was the best choice I have ever made. When I think back to when we lived together and where I was at spiritually, I almost don't recognize myself. I've come a long way and it's definitely for the better.

So, that's my life right now! That ended up not being such a quick update :) I love you all and I'd love to hear where your lives have taken you!

Love Always

Nurse Phyllis
