Much Needed Visit from the Family

Spud harvest started in Grace, so that means my family was able to come and visit for the weekend. I think McCoy and Wes grew a foot since I seen them last in August. 

This first picture sums up the whole visit, gum from Wes in Caleb's hair... yes gum! We all want to know exactly what was going through Wes' mind when he did that but nonetheless, peanut butter does get gum out of hair just fine. 

Most of the days started off with a swim that the boys thoroughly enjoyed and most of the time they were able to talk me and Mom into getting in with them.  

I was able to catch my mom and her magic of walking on water! I don't know a cooler mom out there who can do this :) The blow up beach ball was also a hit trying to stay on top before flipping over. 

Caleb had a home game Saturday as well. McCoy and Wes wore themselves out at the tailgate party before.

Burn Baby Burn

Well I officially have had my pregnancy symptoms, which have avoided me this far, finally catch up.

My first pleasant surprise was waking up to a horrendous cramp my in calf one morning that lasted for a good 5 minutes. And it even felt bruised a few days after. Thankfully Carol, my mother-in-law advised me to stretch just one leg at a time in the morning and not both. It's worked so far!

And heartburn has been a killer lately. It was so bad Caleb had to bring me some Zantac at work. Sleeping sitting up has not been fun. But what can I say its all been worth it and will definitely be worth it when she gets here.

26 week, 3 months to go and the wait will be over! :)

One Year Older and Wiser... Well We'll See

My wonderful, fabulous, amazing husband just celebrated his birthday 25th birthday. While presents ranged from phone gadgets to our baby's crib. (yes a CRIB!.. I'm so excited although he wasn't all that impressed it had to be for his birthday)
We spend the afternoon with family, eating and taking a drive to snow canyon, and just hanging out.

I'm so lucky to have married such a wonderful man. Happy 25th!!

Ready to Rumble

This past weekend Caleb's parents came to visit as well as Linzy and her family for his first football game and birthday.

So far, all of camp has turned out really well for Caleb, lots of playing time and he's doing outstanding. Lots of the players as well as some of the coaching staff has been impressed with his performance. He has a starting spot, finally!, and we all have high hopes that this season will go great.

Turns out the first game, the team resorted back to old habits and they lost, 24-14 to Adam State. Caleb really didn't get his chance to shine so hopefully a week of practice will get the team re-grouped and they'll get a W against Colorado Mess.

24 weeks

Nothing too exciting about this check-up. My weight and blood pressure was taken like usual and I had my belly measures for the first time. We did hear her heartbeat though, and that's always re-assuring.

But I can't complain, everything has been so wonderful this far. I can really feel her moving around and about 6am, 11am and 11pm she is out of control. Nothing is going to stop this child.

Chug that water.

So I got called into work to do some data entry junk the other day. No big deal I thought, well I was wrong.
I thought I was going to be able to sit in the back office at the computer there, but I ended up having to use the computers in the front so I had to stand. Still not worried though, it was only going to take me 20-30 minutes then I could go home.

Well Mallory, my co-worker, decided to go check the laundry while it was slow at the front so she could have something to do. A little while after she left, I had been standing for 10 minutes max at this time, a guest walks through the door to check in.

Immediately as I start checking her in, I start feeling dizzy and light headed. I told myself "it only takes two minutes to check someone in and you'll be fine!" Well as I'm just about to show her where she needs to sign and write her vehicle info down... I black out. "NOT GOOD" is what I think to myself. I tell her I need to sit down and stumble my way to the back (still not seeing) somehow and tell Mallory to come to the front.

By the time she gets there, I'm in tears but I can at least see now. I call Caleb to come pick me up and we stop by the doctors office to see what's wrong. .... Dehydration, is what the nurse says is wrong with me. I felt like a wimp! I even teared up while telling her my story.

My ability to control my hysteria that day was on the low side, but I have been drinking more water though, one of the hardest things ever!

Practicing for the real thing.

Well Caleb is starting to practice on how to hold the baby. I'm afraid Sitka is going to be real jealous when daddy is playing with his little girl and not with her.













Doing good so far. I can't wait to see my baby girl in his arms.
