The Belly

I was looking through my previous post and noticed the picture of my belly that I posted on January 1st. I can't believe I thought that was a belly! I would do anything for that size of belly right now. I was 17 weeks in that picture. I am now 28 weeks and in my 3rd trimester. Today at work I had a girl say to me, "You look like your ready to pop!" I almost "popped" her in the face but then I took a step back and thought- 1- I would lose my job and 2- She's 15 years old and has never been pregnant. I called my sister on the way home to confirm my justifications for this comment. If I already look like I am going to pop, I wonder what I am going to look like in 2 months when I really am ready to pop. A beached whale perhaps!

Nursery Done and Done!

We finally finished the nursery. Everyone put their own little touch in there. Scott and Brennon did the white bead board around the whole room; my mom re-upholstered the chair; and Scott's mom made the numbers on the wall. I love it all! We are so lucky to have such talented people around us. Thanks everyone!

One Complete

We finally completed our hardwood floors and the front room. The nursery is still needing a few decorations. We are excited to have less chaos at our house!

Weekend Getaway

We spent the weekend in St George at my Aunt's condo. She was so nice to let us use it! Kyler and Lynette joined us on our getaway. It was a lot of fun and really relaxing. We got in late Thursday night and came home on Sunday. For Valentines, Lynette and I scheduled massages and made reservations for dinner. We also hiked Snow Canyon and swam in the pool at the condo. Scott bowled a 191 while I scored a high of 60! It was a rough game for this pregnant lady. I think I threw 10 gutter balls. Here are some pics of the trip!

If you were wondering...

If you were wondering why I have not been blogging lately, here is why. People say that I have been "nesting". (Around the fifth month of pregnancy, the "nesting" instinct can set in. This is an uncontrollable urge to clean one's house brought on by a desire to prepare a nest for the new baby, to tie up loose ends of old projects and to organize your world.) Apparently it is something many women tend to do when they are pregnant. Some of the current projects are: ripping up old flooring and installing new flooring on our main floor, selling things on KSL so I can buy new ones, paneling in the nursery, painting the nursery, putting together the crib and dresser, and feeling like shooting myself in the head! I will be SOOOOO excited when this is all done but for now we are in the trenches of it! When it is all over I will post pictures for all of you to see! More on the blacksters later...

ITS A BOY!!!

Soccer Player or Kung Fu Master?

So for the past week or so I have been feeling the baby... Or at least I thought it was. I kept feeling random movement in my belly and wondered if it was the baby or gas! Well tonight I can confidently say that it was the BABY! I was lying on our love sac watching T.V. and Scott was upstairs. I felt some movement and placed my hand on my belly to see if it really was the baby. Not only did our baby kick once but 3 times! I yelled for Scott to come down and placed his hand where mine was. The baby kicked 2 more times! Scott was in shock and said "We really do have a baby in there!?" I really need to do something about my husbands denial that we are having a baby... BUT regardless we felt the baby KICK!! It is a pretty cool experience and I can't wait till we can identify body parts that are jabbing me so we can decide if the baby is a Soccer player or Kung Fu Master! More on the blacksters later...
