The bead board is up!!

Thanks to Chris, his dad and brother John, they finished putting up the bead board in the baby's room this weekend!  It looks amazing too!  They did such a great job, I am so thankful for all their hard work.  Here are a couple pics of what they did. (Keep in mind that we still have to caulk and paint)

Love it!!

29 Weeks....

Week 29 and the only thing I have new to report is the fact that I was able to actually capture my swollen ankels in a few pics. On Friday we went and saw Hunger Games during work and then again that night when I got home from work, so I think the non stop sitting was the reason they were so swollen.

29 weeks and counting,,,

The first picture is the swollen ankels and the second one is what my ankels should look like. Well, as close to normal as they are going to lookright now anyway.....you can at least see my bone in the 2nd pic!

28 Weeks....

I missed week 27 but here I am at 28 weeks.  I am officialy in my 3rd trimester!  WOO HOO! I can't believe how fast time has gone by. This little guy is going to be here in no time, I hope we are ready. Yikes!

Some days I feel like I am SO big and then realize I have over two months to go so it's only going to get bigger!

I'm definitely starting to feel like I'm pregnant. For the longest time I really couldn't tell much of a difference but now that I am bigger, I can feel it for sure. I worked two weddings last week and I was definitely a lot slower. One of the weddings I did on a Thursday night becuase it was my Spring Break and 14 hours of work was WAY too much for me. I can't do that anymore until after this baby is born, I thought my feet were going to fall off. I felt fine the next day but I sure was worthless when I got home.

Next week I go back to the doctor and have my diabetes test......cross your fingers I pass!

Moab

We took of work early on Friday to head down to Maob becuase Chris was running the Canyonlands half marathon the next day. We had some friends running it too so we shared a hotel room with them.

This is us in the car just before heading down for the big race!

I was able to get close up pictures of Joe and Linnea when they finished the race but when Chris came through the finish line I was so excited and started cheering and yelling that I didn't get a close up of him. :(  But, here is the front and back shot of him. (He's in black shorts and green shirt)

Chris, Joe and Linnea after the half marathon!  Way to go guys!

I was being festive and had my four leaf clover glasses on when Chris crossed the finish line.....just trying to be festive! I bought Chris a green shirt too so he could be festive when he was running!

Later that day after the race, we went to the Arches National Park and drove around. We got out one time and that was a mistake because it was SO windy! I can't even open my eyes which is why I look so ridiculous in the top picture. It was a beautiful drive though.  

26 Weeks.....

Well, I missed week 24 and 25 but here is week 26. At this point in my pregnancy Jr. is kicking like crazy all day long unless someone wants to feel him kick, then he stops. Of course he does, he's my son!

I've also started retaining water a little so by the end of the day I have kankels. Let's face it, I kind of start the day with them too.  I drink a ton of water to compensate and try to put my feet up during the day but I'm not sure it makes that much of a difference.

Jr. (FYI....we aren't naming him Jr. I'm just calling him that until we find a name) is big enough now that his hearbeat can be heard through my stomach if you put your ear to it and the room is quiet. Chris has heard it several times and Heidi even heard it once.  How cool is that?

He's definitely growing, that's for sure!

Snow shoeing to the Yurt..

Last weekend we went on or annual snow shoeing trip to the yurt. This is only our 2nd year doing it, but we plan on making it a yearly occurance. We went with our friends, Ryan and Julie and Joe and Linnea. I was a little nervous this year becuase I am six months pregnant but our hike to the yurt was much shorter this year than it was last year. It was only 1 1/2 miles so it wasn't bad at all.

On our way to the lodge where we park our car, we encountoured a white out while driving, it was a little touch and go there for a minute but we made it safely. I can't say that it made me real excited to get out in the freezing cold though. 

All bundedled up and ready to go!

Needless to say, I was a little slower this year so we brought up the rear the whole way.

Here are a few pics of us once we got to the yurt.

Chris has pretty sweet dance moves, I should have caputred this as a video rather than a pic. Drats!

We just had to get a belly shot with the both of us. Is it me or does Chris' belly look bogger than mine? Ok, in all fairness he is sticking it out as far as he can.

One down fall about being pregnant this year was the fact that I had to pee during the night several times. At least we were prepared with out head lamps so I could see as I was squatting in the snow!
