A new post!

I know I need to make a new post but I can't seem to figure out what is exciting or even interesting in the McLeod household these days so I am just going to post just a few things that I am grateful for.
Dean!
Oh where to begin with this one. I love my husband for the way that he makes me laugh. For how close we've come in this first year of marriage. How he truly has become my best friend and even though sometimes he doesn't get me, he always bears with me. For his constant effort to become better for us. It's tough to get married when you're older and set in your ways but we've come a long way together so far and will continue to make it down this road. He loves me unconditionally. I don't wonder if Dean loves me at all, I know without a doubt that he does and what a comfort that is.
Our Baby!
I am so grateful for this little girl that in the beginning made me so sick, that makes me out of breath when I walk up stairs, that makes me feel like I am the good year blimp, that makes my feet at times look like I have elephantitis. It makes me so excited every time I feel her move in my belly or think of the first time I will get to hold her or even the thought of Dean holding her for the first time makes me exstatic. It's amazing how much I love this little girl and she is not even here yet.
My Parents!
My parents are amazing! I seriously could not ask for anything more. They love me to death and yet once again in my life I do not have to even question the love. My mom is amazing and would do anything for my little family. My dad, well, as most of you know I call him for those times when I just don't know where else to go. I know he will always walk me through the next step. Many a breakdown from me for my parents, but many solutions and guidence have come for me from them when it happens and it just helps me feel peace.
My In-Laws!
How grateful I am to have married into such a good family. My in-laws are such great people and have opened up their home to Dean and I for a while so we can get on track before our baby comes. They try so hard to make it feel like home for me and I am forever grateful.
My sisters!
Wow, this is a long post for nothing to say! :) I love all three of my sisters so much. Each one is different and unique from the other. I am close with all of them and I know that we will always be that way. I love their kids to death and I am so thankful that each one of my sisters has shared those babies with me for all these years. It made being single for so long so much easier because I had my family so close by my side.
The Gospel!
Last thing I'm gonna put on here is the gospel. It's my support, my link to my Heavenly Father. Seriously sometimes it's so hard, especially now in life to see the light at the end of the tunnel for so many of us. For me, the gospel is that light. I know that if I have faith, which might I add is easier said then done, it will all work out the way it is supposed to. How blessed I am to know of the truth and to have the direction that the gospel provides me with.

So my Dr did me a little favor!

I'm pretty pursuasive and when I went in to the doctor last week I gave my doc a hard time about not getting my ultasound. Well he did a little quick one himself and there is no question we're havin a girl. Her name will be Keeley Paige McLeod and we are super excited. My mom, being the amazing mother that she is, already has her baby blanket made for her bedding. It is SO me! Here is a picture so you can all be jealous. The picture doesn't even do it justice. It's beautiful! Thanks mom. Love you!

I can't believe it!!

So we had a 17 week ultrasound at the doctor and the doctor said that he was 90% sure it was a girl but on our 20 week visit we'd be able to tell for sure because the visit will be with the real ultrasound tech. So i've counted down the days til the 15th to find out if this baby inside me is really my baby girl. Well the visit WAS tomorrow but the doctors office called tonight at 5:30 pm saying they were going to have to cancel and reschedule for the 26th!! WHAT!!! 2 more weeks!! Do they know that you shouldn't do this kind of thing to a pregnant girl. I have been WAITING you big rude jerks at the doctors office!! Disappointment has set in.

Here's the one of Malinda! Post cont.!

Read the below post if your confused at why Malinda is staring at you right now!

Old Talent that I'm going to try to bring back.

So for Christmas this year my family decided to do homemade gifts using our talents. Well number one, I don't really have that much time these days to make the gifts and number two I only have one talent. Or atleast I used to have one talent. This year I had my sister Jaime's family for Christmas and my one talent used to be photography. It's been SOOO long since I have done any picture taking though. I use old school film even folks! I realized today that I really miss it and I know they are rusty but I need to get back at it. Here are just a few pics that I took today. There are more but these are some of my favorites. Oh....Malinda asked me to take some for her mom for Christmas too so one is posted of her as well. She looks beautiful to me in it! I'm gonna get back at this folks and start using my talent again so that next time I post some pictures they are even better!

Kids are brilliant!

So this weekend I got to go and have a REALLY quick slumber party with a couple of my nephews. I slept on an air mattress for one night in a room with Kacey's boys. In the morning my two older boys came and snuggled with me on the bed and we started chatting. Here's just one of the AMAZING conversations that we had.

Camden - "Aunt Meghan have you seen the movie Kung Fu Panda"
Me - "Ya bubba it's hilarious huh"
Cam - "Ya. Mas and I love it."
Me - "Cam, why though is he a panda bear and his dad is a duck?"
Cam - "Aunt Meg, people are all different."
Me - "Dugga, that is the best answer anyone could have given!"

Kids are so brilliant! They totally get it. It wasn't I don't know, it was Aunt Meghan look around the world. People are all different. Good job Kacey and Chris. Cam understands more in life then we do!!
