Pioneer Weekend

We had the funniest weekend celebrating Pioneer Day. I took Friday and Saturday off and Jesse's 6 day break was over that weekend so we were all able to be together as a family. Gotta love when that happens.

 

We certainly kept ourselves busy. So prepare for a long post.

 

Thursday; July 23

We thought about going to the Bountiful parade that night after I got off work. But now that we aren't living right off of Main Street, it's not as convenient to just walk up to Main Street and watch it. We would have to be like every other person in Bountiful and park far away and stake out our spot. And since Jesse and I aren't too into parading we both weren't too willing to go  to all that effort. The heat and the crowds were just not sounding all the enticing.

 

Instead, we went to dinner as a family and then went to the Bountiful Carnival. I thought we would beat the crowds, but we didn't. The lines to buy tickets were insane. And some of the lines for the activities and rides were very slow moving. Luckily the rides for the kids weren't quite as along so the boys were able to ride a few rides before it got dark.

 

This picture makes me laugh because it's sometimes impossible to get a good selfie picture of our whole family. And Cy's face is just killing me. What a goof.

 

Ready to ride.

 Cy has been known to get motion sick. Countless times he has thrown up in a car ride (and not just my car). So when I was watching him on these spinning rides I was SURE he was going to lose his dinner. He'd go from laughing so hard, to this sick look on his face. But then once the ride would stop he'd be all smiles again. No dinner lost. Phew. Maybe he has grown out of it?

 As it got darker the park started to get less crowded because everyone was headed up to Mueller Park to watch the fireworks. Again we didn't feel like getting ourselves stuck in a traffic jam late at night so we didn't go. But the boys still had a few more tickets to spend. So we went to the fishing pond.  This brings back so many memories of when I was a kid. This was my favorite thing,

After the boys fished for their prizes we headed to the truck. On the drive home Jesse decided to go up 1800 South to see if we could see some of the fireworks when they started because it was almost 10pm. We were able to watch a few as we sat in the truck on the side of the road. But then we decided not to stay too long and to get home.

Friday; July 24

We all slept in that morning and once we woke up and had breakfast we started to pack all our belongings for what we would need for the weekend. We were sticking with the tradition of camping out in the Smith's backyard.

Also Heidi's brother, Matt was here from Kansas visiting with his family because his son is very interested in attending BYU and wanted to check it out. While they were here they stayed with Mike and Heidi which happened to land over our holiday weekend. So we got to spend it with them.

Those that could went on a hike that afternoon up in Big Cottonwood Canyon to Cecret Lake. It was about a mile and a half round trip hike, so perfect for the littlest and preggers.

 The Lake was so calm and beautiful. And because we don't get to see the Bohm very often we had to get a group shot of all of us by it.

 I LOVE this picture of my family. It turned out so perfect. And to imagine that in 4 weeks there will be a 3rd boy among us. So weird and awesome at the same time. 4 weeks is nothing. He's going to be here before we know it. This pregnancy has gone by way too fast so I feel like I should have more time. But we don't. I can't keep putting off what needs to be done. I am almost done with the nursery. Just need to get all the clothes and personal items ready. Oh and I should probably pack a hospital bag.

 The hike back down I caught sight of these wild flower fields and thought they were just so pretty.

Once we made it back home we all started cooking dinner and setting up our tents for the night. The boys were SOOO excited. They just love to sleep in the tent. I personally was worried about sleeping well on a blow up mattress. But thankfully I was able to get comfortable. 



Once it got dark we roasted marshmallows to make some s'mores. Funny thing was Dad threw away the fire pit they had so we roasted marshmallows over the grill with coals. Which actually worked out really well. I had to laugh at the boys when they were covered in melted marshmallows. The picture doesn't show it very well, but they had a ring around their mouths. 

Then it was firework time. Jesse figured out how to do long exposure on his new phone and he got some really cool pictures.

Especially with the sparklers.

Then the whole gang wanted to play ghost in the graveyard. But my pregnant boring self was not feeling it. For one I didn't want to run and I was just exhausted and wanted to go to bed. I felt like I was being such a party pooper. But I'm blaming it on the belly. All I could think about was getting in my bed and sleeping.

Saturday; July 25
I think one of my favorite parts of this tradition is all of us waiting up together and making the best breakfast together. It's a buffet feast of the yummiest breakfast foods everyone has contributed. It's just the best.

We cleaned up and hung out just talking. The Bohms actually left for home once breakfast was over. So with them gone it seemed so quiet. Then Tyson and Tayler left to go hang out with her family. Those of us left sat in the backyard talking while the three boys ran around.

Before we knew it we were hungry for lunch. So we warmed up left over breakfast and had round 2 of breakfast. Haha. I think I could eat breakfast food for all three meals.

Once we ate we all got ready to go swimming. We planned on going to the same pool we went on the 4th of July. Mike had asked Cy the day before if he was going to jump off the high dive. Cy said No.

But as we were about to leave for the pool, Cy said to me "I'm gonna jump off the high dive". Not really believing him I just encouraged him and played along.

Well we got to the pool and I couldn't put his sunscreen on fast enough or get my camera out because he was dying to go get on the high dive.

He promptly walked over there (actually ran and we had to remind him to walk) and climbed up the ladder and walked out onto the edge of the board. My heart started pumping but still expected him to take one look down at the water and turn around and climb back down. Well he stood up there for several seconds bouncing. By this point he's caught several people's attention and now had an audience. Well before I know it... he JUMPS!  Haha.

What a brave little kid. I love this about him but also worry what it'll bring in the future. Hopefully we can direct it in a positive manner.

He did it 2 or 3 more times later that day. Along with jumping off the low dive numberless times. It's kinda awesome that my 4 year old can swim in the deep end. It's quite reassuring,  

Jesse and his dad spent a good majority of the time we were there flipping the boys in the air. Ryker and Cyrus just LOVED it.

We spent about 2 hours there and then Andrew and Emily had to head to her family's that night. So my little family made it back to the house and we ordered a pizza for dinner. We then had to clean up our own stuff and head home. Well almost home.

Jesse's friend from work apparently was turning 40 that day and a few guys from the fire station were throwing him a party. So Jesse wanted to make an appearance and show some support. So we dropped our stuff off at home. Basically Jesse unloaded everything while the boys slept in the truck and I showered and got ready.

We then headed up to Layton to wrap up our weekend.

4th of July {2015}

It's middle of summer and it is hot, hot, HOT! Just in time for the 4th of July. And being 33 weeks pregnant. The boys really wanted to go to the fireworks at Englewood Golf Course Friday the 3rd. Then I had plans of going to the Centerville Parade, swimming and the drive-in movie on the 4th. But when it came down to it I couldn't stay up late for the fireworks and get up early for the parade. So I told the boys they had to choose either the fireworks or the parade. They both chose the parade. Which in the end I was happy about.

 

Biggest bummer about the 4th this year was Jesse was scheduled to work that day. Boo! But thankfully he's off on the 24th.

 

The boys and I met up with my friend Harmoni and walked over the to the beginning of the parade. And man was it hot. I think I had a nice layer of sweat on me by the time we made it to the start of the parade. Then by that time we got to sit in the sun and jut melt. I laugh because thousands and thousands of people are there for the parade voluntarily torturing themselves in such heat.

 

Of course the boys done seem to mind at all. They were happy to gather up all the candy being thrown at them.  

They also got free sunglasses. Which I'm not even sure where they ended up by the end of the day. But they were useful while we were at the parade.

 I love this picture of us together, I just wish Jesse could have been there with us. But we should be grateful that he was off saving lives. And putting out fires that people had started from fireworks.

After the parade was over I headed to the grocery store to pick up some stuff for the day. My friend Harmonic actually invited us over to her parents house for breakfast, but I had to decline because I had other plans with the Smith's. If there would have been more time in the day I totally would have stayed.

Once I got home with the groceries, I packed up the truck with everything we would need for the rest of the day. Snacks, water, food, swimming suits, towels, change of clothes and bedding for the bed of the truck during the drive-in.

And then we were off. We arrived at Mike and Heidi's around noon and we all ate lunch. Then we headed off to the Crestwood pool near their house.

Once we were settled, I had to get a picture with Emily and her baby bump. These babies are due a day apart. Crazy huh? Its going to be fun watching these cousins grow up together. Especially since she is having a girl. It'll be interesting to see how she interacts with all these boys around.

 At this pool they blow the whistle every hour-ish to make everyone get out for about 5 minutes. Dad caught this picture as we were all sitting on the edge waiting to get back in.

 K, really proud of Ryker for this. Last year he was super nervous to jump off the high dive. He wouldn't even do it. Not even if we bribed him with money. But this year he did it without any hesitation. Again and again and again. Its so great to see him progress and gain my confidence in himself.

 And Cy is just fearless. I don't now very many 4 year olds that'll jump off the diving board into deep water and swim to the side. He's better when he rolls onto his back, but he seems to insist on doing it on his belly.

 After 3 hours of play we got kicked out. Not because we were in trouble, but because the pool was closing early. It was so nice to play in the water to get cooled down from the 100 degree weather.

 Back at home we ate dinner and watched the weather start to turn. It got windy and cloudy. We started to worry that it was going to rain. So we started second guessing if we should go to the drive-in.  So as the night went on we watched to see if we should chance it.

In the meantime, Heidi got some Sparklers out for the boys to play with. Not as exciting if it were dark out, but they didn't care.

 The wind seemed to calm down and I decided to take the chance and go to the movie. I popped 6 bags of popcorn for us all to share and we took off.

We got all set up and ready for the movie.  I love having the truck, for this reason. I brought a blow up mattress, a sheet a bunch of blankets and pillows. We were really cozy,

 Sterling and Cyrus are such buddies. They were all cozy together.

 Our whole gang. Photo credit goes to Heidi though. It's too bad she couldn't be in the picture with us.

 

After the movie was over we all headed home. We were all too tired to stay for the second one. The boys fell asleep within minutes of the drive home. I would have too if I wasn't the driver.

 

I made it home safely and got the truck unloaded and the boys in their beds. As I got myself into bed I couldn't help but feel like we had the best day. Oh and grateful we had 1;00pm church the next day.

 

Also, I feel blessed to call America my home. It's truly a blessed nation.

Desk Dilemma

Moving in we were without a desk. Reason being was because Jesse had built the desk to be a part of the kitchen. It was removable, but with a concrete countertop on it there was NO moving it without an entire crew. So we left it.

 

In this new house we want to do a similar thing with the kitchen. So knowing that we were going to building a desk at some point, we didn't want to spend alot of money on a brand new one. So we started to look on ksl.com. After awhile we got distracted from it by talking about the master bedroom/bathroom remodel.

 

Well one day I came home from work to this desk.....

 

 ...Eek. Jesse bought it because it was cheap($40) and we needed a desk. Which I understand. But as it sat there the more and more I grew to loath this desk. I didn't even know how to make it cute. So I did something that I was scared he would kill me for.

While he was working on Tuesday I searched on ksl.com for another desk. And I put the ugly one on there to sell for $25. I got now bites from it. So I put it on there for free, hoping someone would come and pick it up for me so I wouldn't have to worry about hauling it out of the house myself. Still no luck. It was THAT ugly. Nobody wanted it for FREE.

So I took matters into my own hands and I got the desk onto the dolley and outside to the truck. Then I asked our next door neighbor, Steve to get it on the truck for me. And he graciously did. YAY!!! Then off to the DI I went.

Such a relief when that thing was gone.

That night I went out to Draper to pick up this desk...

So much better right?

Mike and Heidi met me there and helped get it onto the truck and into my house.

Here's the kicker though.... This desk and bookshelf are practically brand new. The seller, Pete (who was such a nice guy) said they hardly used it and they just needed to get it out of their house because they were moving. So get this I got both of these for $50!!!! Yup. That's right. I did good.

After getting in the house I stayed up to get everything unpacked and into it's place. So when Jesse got home he could see it all set up.

I actually ended up sending him a picture and talking about it with him on the phone that night. I thought he would be so mad. BUT he wasn't. Especially when I told him how much I got both the desk and bookshelf for. He was a little annoyed by it, but said he was happy because I was happy. Phew, I was relieved. I felt bad going behind his back and doing such a sneaky thing. But in the end it all worked out so great. I'm very happy with the desk.

Now our little breakfast nook table is in the large dining area. We put the desk in the area where the table was. So our next thing we'll need to get is a big dining table.

I'll have to post pictures of our bedroom too. It's coming along. Slower than I'd hoped. But the rough in has been so much work for Jesse. I'm hoping once all of that is done we can make some large leaps in progress. I so badly want it done before this baby comes.

This last week we decided to move our stuff out of the bedroom and into the basement. Still living out of boxes. Suitcases and/or clean laundry baskets. It'll be nice to have a closet.

Father's Day 2015!!!

Today is Father's Day and Jesse had to work. Shucks! But to celebrate him we went out last night as a family to a movie and dinner. I snapped this picture of these boys and their dad right before the movie started. Aren't they all so handsome? I am one lucky girl. 

Out of all the men/father figures in my life I would have to say that Jesse has had the biggest influence on me. He really is such a great guy! There are so many great things about him that it's hard to list them all. I just know that these 2 (soon to be 3) boys are so blessed to have him as their Dad. They have a solid example of how to live their lives and to be strong men one day.

Happy Father's Day to one of the GREATEST dad's there is. Love you Jesse!

31 weeks pregnant!

Starting today we are now into the single digit weekly count down! What? I feel excited that I'm already to this point, but also nervous. Several reasons I feel nervous is: 1) The nursery isn't even put together. I wanted a new design and new bedding for this baby (especially since he's getting hand me down everything else). 2) The master bedroom/bathroom NEEDS to be done before this little one comes. So I hope that Jesse can accomplish that goal. And I hope I can help him in anyway that I can. 3) And am I mentally ready to juggle 3 kiddos?

 

Lots to think about.

 

But on the flip side, I have loved feeling this little boy moving inside of me. Even though his movements are progressing upward into my ribs and lungs.

 

 The boys still enjoy feeling him as well. The other night while I was reading the Book of Mormon to them, both of them were trying to feel baby brother moving while I was reading to them. Jesse snapped this picture of this moment and I'm glad that he did.

In the last couple of weeks we have made it a goal to read a chapter from the BofM every night. Because Jesse is diligently working hard on the room I've had the pleasure to do the reading every night. We are trying to instill in them good habits and hopefully good feelings. I wonder how much of it is ever sinking in for them. Especially when reading Isaiah's words. I myself struggles with it, so I wonder how they are feeling?

One thing that we started awhile back was that every time I read either the word, Lord or God (or any name of Jesus Christ) they had to say "Jesus". So as I am reading along they have to shout out "Jesus" everything they hear it. I think it helps them listen. At least I hope. I do laugh though when we are in Sacrament meeting and the speakers will say God or Lord and Cy will blurt out "Jesus" to me. Haha. He's getting something from it right?

Anyway, 9 weeks more and this little one will officially be part of our family. Strange to imagine. But I know once he's here, it will be impossible to imagine our family without him.

Little Red 2015

Back in January I put in for the lottery of Little Red and got in. So 5 months down the road on June 6th I road my bike 50 miles being 29 weeks pregnant. When I did it 2 years ago I road the full 100. But being pregnant my goal was 50. And it was perfect. When I made it to 50 I was totally satisfied. I had pushed myself and that was as far as I wanted to go. I figured that was a good goal for this pregnant body.

 

As I've gotten further along exercising is still a priority, but I have slowed things down from what I was able to do pre-pregnancy. And that's ok. Some may think that riding 50 miles on a road bike being 29 weeks pregnant is pushing yourself. And it is. But I have toned it down for me.

 

Along the stops on the course, I had so many women tell me I looked great for 29 weeks and I impressed them that I was even there. I can't count how many times I answered the questions: How far along are you? How far are you riding? Are you feeling good? Etc.   

 I rode with Sarah and Timalee. The three of us went up the night before and stayed at the Marriot and got some dinner.

During the ride, I did really good staying with them until there was any type of hill or headwind. Leaning over that 29 week bump caused me to feel our of breath faster. Hmm, I wonder why? Could it be that I have a little boys bum right by my lungs?

So I would fall behind at times and they were sweet to wait for me. Even though I felt bad that they would. But also grateful. I know they were worried about me because I was slower. But I was just fine. Just slower. I've got an extra 20lbs that I'm not used to pedaling for. Plus not being able to breath as well.

I found that it was easier to ride standing up because I could breath.... but then my legs would burnout. So it was a catch 22. Either way I had something that was buggin'.

But I made it to the 50 mile point. Which is where they provide lunch. And I can't tell you how hungry I was. I burned over 2400 calories in 50 miles.... And for a pregnant woman only snacking on bike eats.... I was VERY ready for a subway sandwich and whatever else they were serving.

After lunch I hitched a ride from the SAG wagon cars, while Sarah and Timalee continued on to finish the 70 miles. I waited for them at the finish line so we could snap a quick photo of us.

 

We had a good time. And I'm so glad that I did it! I rode 50 miles being 6 1/2 months pregnant. Heck Ya!

 



Summer has begun....

This might be another reason why I haven't posted for a few weeks. It's officially summer and we have no schedule really going on. The one thing that we have planned is swimming lessons. Yay!!!!

 

Ever since I had the boys take lessons for Jeri Eggett (or as Cy calls her... Sister)... the boys have just done so well. They just finished their first 2 week session and start up the second one tomorrow, and they are doing so great.

 

Cy, still is fearless. I giggle because he's the bravest and craziest kid in his class. A few of the other kids are so nervous to put their face in the water. And Cy just goes for it. 

 Now Riker is just impressing me like crazy this year. You have to know that this kid used to be one of those kids that would cry to put their face in the water. But now look at him. DIVING OFF THE DIVING BOARD!!!!! Over and over and over. It's awesome! Makes me so proud! Jeri knows what she's doing and these kids are certainly benefitting from it.

Class of 2015? What?



Ok, where the heck did the month of June go? Honestly. I can't blink for a moment or else 3/4 of the month is gone. Sheesh. Granted we have been keeping ourselves busy around the house, but still the time is speeding up.

 

Speaking of speeding up, my baby sister GRADUATED high school on June 4. Um hello... I remember when she was born. I was practically her 2nd mother. I changed her diapers for heavens sake. Can this really be happening? 

 Well yes it can happen... and it DID happen.

Manda flew down from Oregon to see her. Tyson and Jessica were working so they couldn't make it to the graduation. They did make it to dinner afterwards though, but I forgot to take pictures of that part.

At dinner we were all mentioning that 10 years ago at mine and Jesse's wedding, Chantel was the same age that Ryker is right now. Crazy huh? Well Jesse then said, just imagine in another 10 years, this will be us again (meaning at a graduation dinner) but it'll be for Ryker. Um..... that is hard to imagine.... But I'm sure it'll be here before we know it. Yikes.

That same weekend my parents moved out of their house and into a town home down in Foxboro. They plan on living there until their house in West Layton is built. It's going to be weird to have them living 20 minutes away from us and not 5.

So proud of Chantel graduating. Such a fun time in your life. Glad I could be there to support her and show her we love and care for her. Excited to see what her future will bring for her. All good things I'm sure.  

Settling in...

 

First I have to start out with the picture. It's a picture I took tonight just standing up in the toy room from the window. I love that we get to look at this every night. It's breath taking on a clear night. You can see the whole valley. 

 

Ok, now a little update about baby. Yesterday I turned 28 weeks pregnant. Yikes. It's going by so fast. But anyway, these 2 boys are just in love with this little baby boy already. A few nights ago as we were reading stories before bed they were just feeling him moving around. Ryker was talking into my belly introducing himself "Hi, I'm Ryker your big brother".

 

Then they were kissing and rubbing my belly. Then for some reason they wanted to hear him, so Ryker placed his ear right on my belly and that very instant he got kicked/punched right in the ear. Oh man he giggled so hard.

 

Cyrus is so sweet about the whole thing too. He always makes sure to say in his prayers "Please bless the baby" or "and thank you for the baby". Things like that. And he makes sure that we say it too when someone else prays.

 

It makes me excited to have them meet this new one for the first time.

 

 

I mentioned in my last post about one of my first projects was the boys bathroom. Well here you go... The "BEFORE" picture of it. Isn't that the prettiest blue countertop you had ever seen? Yikes. Right?

 And the bathtub/shower/toilet area....

And where they meet....

Since the paint I found to paint the countertop was oil based and very strong, I took precautions to keep me and the baby safe. Looking pretty good. (27 weeks pregnant in this picture)

Jesse helped me take the sink out so it would be easier to paint. But check out this before and after shot. Isn't this just great? I was so excited about it because it was such an easy project to give this bathroom an updated feel.

Thankfully I was able to talk Jesse into purchasing a new sink and faucet, so it practically feels like new.

Amazing what a new shower curtain, towels and paint can do.

Glad that this bathroom is feeling better because Jesse and I will be using it along with the boys for the next few weeks. Reason is.... we are remodeling our master bedroom. So we won't have a shower for a little while once everything gets torn out. Its going to be our first BIG project on the house. I'm excited about it. I did give Jesse a dead line because I really want it done before the baby comes. And thankfully he says he'll do it. I joke with him that I'm going to write up a contract for him to have it done in time.

So I'll have to post about the start and progress about that project next. In the mean time I have been browsing the internet or Pinterest for color schemes and ideas for the whole bedroom, closet and bathroom. It's going to be cool.

The Past Week...

To start off with...Happy Memorial Day! Today Jesse and I both have it off and Ryker doesn't have school. So we were able to sleep in a little bit and then get to working on our house projects. Well kinda. Jesse got started and I had to fight the crowds at the grocery store and Lowe's. But before I get to all that I need to update about this last week.

 

Every spare moment we have is spent working on the house. Getting it all unpacked and feeling more like home. I had Monday, Tuesday and Thursday this week to work on things. Every time I would break down a box it was such a satisfying feeling to get rid of another one.

 

I haven't really posted any pictures of the inside of our home. But this is the living room. Its one of my favorites. I love how open it is. The loft above the couch is the kids toy room area. Another feature that I love....

 

 ....There isn't much too it right now. But eventually I want to make this really cute with storage shelves and just a place that they boys can go play. I love that I can hear them playing up there because of the openness of it. And I love that there is a designated area for the toys. So now they're room can be just beds and clothes. When I finish their room I'll post pictures of that. It's mostly done, I'm just waiting on a dresser that I ordered and a desk chair for Ryker. Then I'll post pictures.



The storage area in the basement is great. There is a lot of space for things that we need, but don't need it for everyday use. I was able to get that all organized and it felt good.

 

So what we really have left to un-box and get settled is our bedroom and the nursery. Plus all the projects we want to get started. The biggest one we want to start is our bedroom. Hence why we haven't bothered unpacking it yet. So we are sort of living out of a suitcase. Haha. I told Jesse that I really want our bedroom to be finished before the baby comes. So crossing all my fingers and toes that that can become a reality. While he's doing that I can at least work on getting the nursery all ready and give the boys bathroom a face-lift. (Oh you just wait to see the before pictures of this bathroom. It's comical). Hopefully the face-lift will go smoothly.

 

This last Thursday Ryker had a Local Track Meet.  At the last minute I realized it was up at Davis High not Vermont, so we had dinner on the go as we drove up there in rush hour traffic. Thankfully we arrived in time and he was able to get checked in for the events that he wanted to participate in. Which were; 50m dash, the 200m run and the softball throw. They were aloud to pick up to 3.

 

I was proud of Riker on the 50m dash because he took second in his age group. His form has improved a ton since last year, and I can tell he's still holding back. So I think he could be even faster. But either way I am very proud of him.

 

 He's the second kid in the blue shirt about to cross the finish line.

 

All of the South Davis Rec. Center kids got a participation medal. Ryker was SOOO excited about it. He said that he now has a medal just like Mom and Dad. What a cutie. I love that he wants to be like us. Makes me feel good. I hope that he'll always keep that desire. I worry for the teenage years when they start to not like mom and dad as much. Hopefully that won't happen with Ryker, but for now I'll treasure this time with him.

 So back to today... Jesse and I have plans to excavate the hill on the front of the house and turn it into something cool. First thing that has to go are the pine trees that are in the way. I tried to talk Jesse into hiring out my client's husband to come and take them down. I was going to do trade work again to pay for it, but Jesse insisted on doing it himself.

He started working on it on Saturday and then is finishing it up today. Our next door neighbor, Steve has been so friendly and came over to help Jesse out on both days. Today Steve is actually taking most of the trees with him. He says he wants the wood. And that will save us a few trips to the dump. He's so thoughtful.

 

 I was grateful that Steve was willing to come over and help because Jesse (bless his heart) has the hardest time asking for any help. He never wants to put anyone out and would rather do it himself. Which I think is a great attribute about him. But, in this situation I was so glad he had help so that nobody got hurt and the work would go by a lot faster.

They chopped that whole thing into big pieces and Steve hauled it away into his yard. I wonder if his wife if like "What the heck?" Cuz that's how I would feel. I wouldn't want to keep it, but he wants it all.

I am waiting for Jesse to get to a good point where he can take the sink out of the countertop in the boy's bathroom. I have plans on painting the awful blue countertop grey. Let's pray that it works and that it looks good.

Also, I need to take a picture but I thought I should mention it anyway. I am 27 weeks pregnant as of yesterday. With our bathroom and bedroom such a mess with boxes and such, I haven't dared take a picture of myself in the mess. But I just wanted to take note that I am now in my 3rd trimester. AHHH! So exciting and nerve racking at the same time. 13 weeks left. That's it. We were telling people we were pregnant when I was about that far along. But now that I only have that time left, I feel anxious to get things ready for his arrival.

I feel great though. Been exercising almost everyday and still able to do a lot of things. I don't really feel "pregnant" yet. Well I do, just not the horribly uncomfortable-ness you can get. I'm sure that'll come by the end.

Still no names. Ugh. Why is it so difficult the 3rd time around? Haha. It's ok I think it'll come. Just gotta work on it.
