Range Masters

Greg is participating in this post because it is mostly about him and his new "toy," which is a Springfield XD 45. We went to Range Masters today (our second visit) and shot Osama...well, not really. Just a target of him. Too bad. Range Masters is a cool indoor gun range in Springville. Greg LOVES his new gun. I like it too, but we have plans to get me a P22 in the future — less recoil; cheaper ammo. Greg says I'm a pretty good shot. I think it's all luck because I still flinch every time I pull the trigger just anticipating the kick. I'm getting better, though. Greg is a really good shot. Since we're on a bit of a "gun kick," we've been to Cabela's four times in the last month. What a cool store! Greg particularly likes the animals. So do I. I'll also admit that I particularly like their chocolate covered cinnamon bears...a great Olympic treat when watching the underage Chinese gymnasts. Just so you know, pretty much everybody will be getting their Christmas presents from Cabela's this year. Hope you like shotgun shells. Rhymes with jingle bells, you know.

    Holy cow! This is so out of my range of knowledge. I have only shot a gun a couple of times and it scares me a bit. I'm such a wimp! Cool that Greg is loving his new "toy" though.

    BTW, thanks for the cute birthday card. Made me tear up a little, but that shouldn't come as much of a surprise. What a baby! And I seem to get worse with age, if that's even possible.

    Lis,
    Love the post. Shaun and I were laughing. I'm glad you liked Alexis's joke. Greg's gun looks pretty cool. I was able to shoot dad's new target with the 22 last weekend. (I actually hit it too.) That indoor range sounds pretty cool. I really like Cabellas too it's fun to walk around in. Shaun has decided he need to get himself a new gun lately. Hope we are sticking around longer in utah so we can hang out some more!
    love ya!

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?

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...
