Weeks in Review

I hate the fact that I always have tons I can post about, but no time to do it. I keep telling myself once I have this baby I'll have loads of free time, and Mike just laughs at me (which I'm sure all you mothers out there just did as well). So we'll see how that goes, but in the meantime you'll just have to bear with my sporadic and non-detailed posts. :)

After our trip to Seattle, I packed up and headed out for Youth Conference the following weekend. We had a great time, and my dad was kind enough to come down and drive his boat around for our whole group. The youth loved it as a lot of them had never been boating before. However, being out in the sun for 2 days straight does wear on you...and it showed after it was over. I don't think anyone walked away without a sunburn somewhere. Mine just so happened to be on my feet and I dealt with the pain for about 2 weeks afterwards. They swelled worse than I've ever seen my feet swell before, and it was definitely from the burn not from being pregnant. Even my nurse said sunburns in pregnant women are a lot worse because of your hormones. So thats pretty much the last time I go out in the sun without slapping sunscreen on every square inch of my body.

Me looking scary white in the hot sun.

I loved this picture of the bishop splashing water on all the kids.

For the 4th of July we went to Star Valley, WY to spend with Mike's family.

Mike's also been busy working on the baby's room in our spare time. There's a ton to do as we are going to replace pretty much everything that was in it. All the molding, carpet, window-sills (which used to be tile), blinds and paint. We've been procrastinating and I'm starting to get in panic mode because I know how we work...slowly.

This is our before shot- it had nasty orange paneling around the room.

21 wks pregnant

23 wks

The baby's doing good and I feel like when I grow its always over night, and then I stay the same for awhile. So far I have loved being pregnant. To me its the most amazing experience that I will be forever grateful for and hope I get to experience a few more times. I've had such an easy pregnancy though I'm sure I'll get payback in the delivery room. Even still, we sure can't wait to meet our little guy.

Next up...Girls camp. I leave tomorrow. Oh yay.
