Nothin' Much

I am just chillin' while Greg is at work at his second job. That's right, folks, a second. We could do with one, but it's worth it to have two because we've got to save some moola for some dinky ones. I'm calling kids dinky ones because today we were looking at our wedding album and we got a kick out of how small our nieces and nephews were back then, and Greg said, "Look how dinky they are!" So I think dinky ones is my new fave! It makes me laugh.

For those who are wondering...we're moving this Sat. to a house in Spanish Fork. I'm way excited. I'll have to post pics later, but I did a great job packing today and go the two upstairs bedrooms (that aren't the office or our master bedroom) completely cleared out and cleaned. Yay me. Greg called me an "amazing fruit" for doing that. He must be on one.

I just have to thank our family and friends for coming to help us move. They are the best. I am excited for them to see our house, too. It's just so much fun to have a house and not rent. Wish us luck with this new change! Change is always hard, but it can also be good. I just hope this change is permanent for awhile!

    Yeah. Brigs is a dinky one still. I'm so excited to help you move and see you and your new house! Sars

    "Amazing fruit" and "dinky ones" LOL! That Greg...funny old chap! We talked to Marcos' cousin, Raquel, who lives in Provo and she said she would watch the kids. My mom said she thought she could because she might not be going to Idaho after all, but I'm thinking this is a better plan. Even though I hate to impose, it'll be nice that we're closer in case they need me or something. And Dylan's always up for an adventure. Worst case, I'll come see the house and leave Marcos to do the dirty work while I hang out in Provo with Raquel and the kids. So I think that's what we're doing. Now...what's the plan? When's the crew supposed to arrive?

    I think I'm going to start calling kids dinky ones too! That's hilarious!! I'm excited to see pictures of your house. Good luck with the move this weekend.

    Congrats on the new house. I hadn't heard. Can't wait to see pics. Dinky ones is a cute name. Most are dinky, anyway.

    Change is hard but I hope it's permanent for a minute too! I'm excited to come see your new house. And you can see my HUGE belly that my dinky one takes up ALL the space. You are an amazing fruit, by the way, I was just talking to mom the other day at how happy you are all the time and you always are doing fun projects and things! You're a good example. Love you tons and see you on Sat!

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...
