The home front

So I know I said that I would be better about posting every week with pictures, i'm really trying to be better, but the weeks just fly by! Anyway, so here is the quick version of what we have been up to....

Last week Keith got to go with Joel, my dad, and a couple of other guys down to Moab. I need to get some of the pictures of the trip from joel and i can post them. He had so much fun even though he wrecked quite a few times and has quite a few new wounds (that he is pretty proud of by the way!) While he was gone I spent a couple days down in Pleasant View just hanging out and relaxing....it was so nice! This last weekend Keith replaced the exhaust manifold (thanks to Whit and Adam for the help) on the Jeep so that it would finally pass inspection! yay! It has been cracked for at least a year or more, but they passed it last year, so why fix what they don't make you, right? It definitely sounds so much better now.

Saturday night Keith and Whit tried to "Clean the kitchen sink" at Angie's diner. It is quite the tradition up here in Logan I hear. They did really well, with just a little help from the baked potato skin that they filled full! It's all good! they still got the bumper sticker :)

I have started to swell in my feet and ankles enough that they are now wanting me to wear those nice thigh high granny circulation tights. They are really hot and closed toe so I have yet to figure out how to stay cool and wear capri's and sandles, but they do help so i guess it is worth it. On friday, my foot was a pretty shade of purple, so the doctor wanted them to do an ultrasound on my leg....good news is no blood clot...bad news is my veins are apparently 4x the size they should be..that is what the pretty tights are for! I have my next doctor's appt tomorrow so we'll see how everything is then and go from there.

I still don't know how to get the pictures off the CD, so if anyone knows how I would love to learn.

The Belly!!

Ok, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and just take a picture. This is somewhere between the 24-25 week mark. I kinda dread seeing pictures of myself, but I figure that this is the only time that I have had that I can actually look at myself and laugh at how big I am getting rather than just feel crappy about it, and know that it is for a really good reason! Plus Tiff and Whit made me feel guilty that I wasn't documenting these memories. Just kiddin', it is a really great idea! I am going to try to take a picture every week from here on to see the progress. I have yet to figure out how to get the pictures of the baby off the disc and onto the computer. If anyone can give me any hints or great ideas that would be awesome! The ultrasound was so cool. It was so neat to be able to see him in 3D. He is pretty dang cute!

He has been moving a ton lately, it is so cool to be able to feel him. He and Keith play this game every morning to wake me up.... He is really active first thing in the morning (just like his dad!) so he will start kicking or rolling or whatever he does and then when Keith wakes up and he can feel him, Keith will lightly poke at the baby and the baby will kick back....that will usually wake me up after just a little while and I can't be mad at getting woken up because it is just too dang cute! I love my guys!
