Catching up on Events

Now that I'm on facebook it's like I don't blog! But I think blogs are more fun for closer friends and family and facebook is just to stay connected with all sorts of people.

Here's what we've been up to lately starting with the sweetest little new baby niece. (Mike didn't want me to put tons of pictures of her, so there is just this one.) Her name is Ariena.


This is a darling photo that Stacie took of Sarah and Dave and Brigs.

This is a not-so-darling one of me taken the same day. I seriously am a camera show off. Don't ask me why!

This is Greg and Aly, our gator, who happens to be a huge Florida fan. This was taken the night of the BCS championship. Needless to say that Aly was happy his team won.


Other updates from us?
  • I loved watching the Obama inauguration. Not that I love him or his political views, but I just love the fact that we live in a free country with democracy and can have such a smooth transition of leadership. I loved singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" and it was a very patriotic, emotional, neat moment for me.
  • I solved the Rubix cube I got Greg for Christmas. Go me! I've never done that before.
  • Greg and I got a couples' massage. AWESOME! Don't ask me why we hadn't done that before. It was so relaxing. I highly recommend it.
  • Greg's dad had back surgery, and the day before he was scheduled to go in, his mom slipped on the ice an dislocated her knee and had to go to the hospital herself! So, she wasn't able to drive with her knee brace on, so after Ger's surgery, Greg and I drove up to the hospital in Midvale to pick her up and she stayed with us for a couple days.
  • We went house hunting and made an offer on another house. Very cute house! I like it a lot...even better than the other one we offered on.
And that's about it with us! Just wanted to give a little update!

    Mike and Seve's baby is darling. And I like that you're a camera show off. :) Oh, and when Dylan's preschool was learning the letter A, it was Aly the alligator. Funny!

    I thought that was a differen't house you emailed! I hope you get it. That is crazy about Greg's parents I hope they get feeling better fast. I can just hear greg's gator voice now. I sure miss you! Love all the pictures!

    Hey Lisa,
    Sheri set up a blog for Stacey. I don't know if she will post to it, so leave her a comment saying you want to hear from her. The address is tystace.blogspot.com. Also, it looks like Sarah went private and that stinker didn't send me an invite. Will you give her my email address it is iversonfam@q.com. Thanks!

    Hi friend!! I am so glad that you found me! I love to find friends that I haven't seen or heard from in forever! You look so fantastic! I love your hair short. Maybe it's been short for a long time-I haven't seen you in a long time, so it's new to me!!
    Since you are living in the same state-we really should get together-I love the cheesecake factory and that is not too far away from you. Let me know.
    Shoot me a email if you want. I would love to talk to you. sassystylin@comcast.net
    Come back and say hi! have a great snowy weekend!!

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...
