HELLO, Third Trimester!!!

Over the past week, it feels like the pregnancy switch turned to the setting known as FULL GEAR!! A few weeks ago, I remember some friends saying, "You're barely showing." and now I have random strangers that tell me how pregnant I look. I have been so much more tired, dizzy, achy and nauseous in the last four days than I have been in the last four months. Now at 30 weeks, I have entered the home stretch, literally!! This baby just realized how much bigger it needs to be before it comes out or is redecorating or SOMETHING!! I walk for 5 minutes at a pretty slow pace and I'm out of breath and the front half of me feels like it just wants to fall of cuz it's so heavy! Plus, when Ammon took this picture he said sadly, "You're head just looks so little now!!" Just imagine what the pregnancy hormones can do with a self-depricating comment like that... hahaha. Good thing I love my husband and my future baby cuz JEEZ!!!



P.S.> Ammon wants to make sure everybody knows he meant that I looked cute, not unattractive in any way!!

Baby Shower Sweat Shop

Not SWEET Shop... oh no... SWEAT shop. So... in planning my baby shower invitations, I wanted to go a little more scrap-book-ish than normal since I tend to be a very much a 'if-the-computer-can-do-it-why-should-I' type of person. However, little did my sisters and I realize the MADNESS that would overtake such a project. Since my nursery theme is going to be bears, I wanted a bear on the invitation... well, between Alana's mental picture of a more detailed bear and my thoughts that I don't have anything better to do, we created a 3-D bear that made the whole assembly of 79 invitations (don't ask me why 79, but for some reason that's how many we ended up with) a 50-(wo)man-hour-project. Alana decided to AFFECTIONATELY call this my sweat shop... because in all honesty she put in the most work. I am very appreciative of ALL of the effort put forth by my two sisters and my mom and the end results were just FANTASTIC!!!!!

Sitting... a whole lot of Sitting.

It has become a hobby/pastime/career lately to 'sit' things, particularly since I've been laid off. I have the time and space in my home to house whatever, so between dog-sitting and babysitting and now chick-sitting, my life has become more fulfilled than ever!!!! Here are pictures of the chicks we were sitting for some neighbors that went out of town and my nephew Christian at the Playplace in the mall. I also had photos of Mark and Mia (anoher nephew and niece) at the park, but I don't have the adapter to link that camera to my computer. That's what I get for borrowing cameras!!
