Blog Slacker

So, I started this blog, and then I never update it! Well, actually I have good reasons. (Don't we all!)

We had the craziest July! Good, but crazy. We moved to American Fork on July 8th or so. We are really enjoying it here so far. I had an easy move this time...a moving company did it all for us. I'm sure that I won't be so lucky next time.

The rest of July was jam-packed with family reunions, trips to Lagoon, 24th of July celebrations, and just regular "stuff." Greg's brother Kirk and his family were here from Chicago and we had a great time with them.

The first part of August has been busy so far, too! We celebrated our 7th anniversary on Aug. 2. Greg's mom and dad had given us a dinner gift certificate to Olive Garden, so we went there for a little anniversary dinner, and we didn't even remember to use the certificate! Next time.

On Aug. 8, we had a little family Olympic Party here at our new place. I love the Olympics! The stories are so motivating and inspiring. Greg and I are sort-of Olympic junkies and we really like to watch all the events.

And that about catches us up in a short little post! I'll have to add pictures of some of our activities later. I hope you guys don't give up on me! Even if I'm just a sporadic poster, I still like to keep in touch!

    Yeah for the Olympics! We are huge fans, too. Glad you are so much closer. Maybe we can get together sometime when I'm in town!

    The party was so fun. I have to add what a wonderful hostess you are right down to the star plates and the centerpeice. We have really liked watching the Olympics too. What a bummer for the U.S.A gymnastics team! Love you tons!

Almost To the Home Stretch

Here I am at around 30 weeks or so. I can't remember exactly when Greg took these pictures. It's hard to believe that I only have six weeks and five days to go before this little buddy will make his entrance into the world. I'm excited and nervous. I'm doing really great still. I think, after talking to Sarah today, that I'm probably having some Braxton-Hicks contractions but didn't really realize it. I'll have to start paying closer attention. Gotta love Zantac! It's been helping with the heartburn. I pretty much waddle around a little these days. It's hard not to. I'm still sleeping well at night for the most part. I laugh at myself trying to turn over though! It's like a beached whale! Really. I have to like literally try to flip myself over without everything going, "Snap! Crackle! Pop!" The same thing happens when I've been sitting at my desk and get up to walk around. It's like all my joints want to just...

Can you see that baby bump?

Image
Man! Full body shots are not at all my fave. I have to do a better pose next time where Greg's not looking up at me while laying on the couch. That's always been like my least favorite camera angle. But can you see that little belly showing? This is 17 and a half weeks. My waist is disappearing and it for sure seems like my already well-endowed bust line has expanded! I'm just trying to take it all in stride even though it's sort-of weird that your body isn't your own anymore in some ways. But I think it's totally awesome that my body is designed for this. Go women! Every day I really feel like it's a miracle that I'm even having a baby. That's such a cool blessing that I wondered if I'd have, and now it's happening, and it's really surreal at times, but totally awesome, too. Other than the fact that I've had a horrible sore throat (due to allergies) I feel great. (Well, still headaches here and there.) I'm not sure if ...

Half Way There

Wow! I can't believe it's been 20 weeks already. That's halfway, right? I have had a terrific pregnancy so far. I have some of the common "aches and pains" but have done really well. It's awesome. I will have to post another picture again soon, because this bump is getting harder and harder to hide. Sometimes I feel a little self-conscious about it in a way, but I think I need to embrace it more and not try to hold it in! (Not that I do or can anyway!) The best thing lately is feeling the baby move more and more and knowing that's what I'm feeling. I totally notice movement after eating, and also sometimes when I play the organ. I think it's just louder so the baby can hear it and reacts a little. It will be fun to see if that continues and let's all pray they get Greg's awesome singing voice! We went to a movie last night, and the baby was really moving during that. Probably because it's so loud in the theater. A week or so...
