I have so much to share where to begin! I got to go to Seattle for a week and help Melissa and Kimball with the new baby and kids. It was so fun! I have the cutest nieces and nephew ever. Just look at them....
The weather there couldn't have been better and Seattle is so beautiful. I felt so spoiled after coming from Vegas. Drew took me to the airport at 6:30 in the morning and it was already 90 degrees. I felt so bad leaving him in the heat to knock doors everyday while I went to the cooler northwest for 2 weeks. But it was so fun to hang out with Lissa and Kimball and the kids and my mom came up a few days after me. Lissa had great advice to give me since I have no clue what it will be like once our baby comes. It was nice to see her in action with a newborn. She is an amazing mom with lots of love and patience!
After a week in Seattle my mom and I drove back down to Portland. There ended up being a heat wave while we were down there and I about died since our house doesn't have AC. haha Pregnancy and heat really don't go together at all. Everyone kept telling me it would be miserable during the summer but I really didn't think much of it. NOW, I get it! But I still enjoyed my time at home. Most of it I spent hanging out with my mom because Beau and Mal were busy working or looking for a job. It was great seeing Zach and Ksenia and chatting pregnancy with Ksenia. Its been so fun being pregnant with my sisters and sister in-law. And thanks you guys for giving us some relief from the heat at your place!
My mom and Val had a baby shower for me which was also REALLY hot! But I had fun seeing a lot of people and got a lot of great stuff for the baby. Drews family got us a great bassinet that we are so excited about. Its hard with a bassinet because the baby won't be in it for very long so buying one wasn't too thrilling. But they found a practically new one at a garage sale for such a steal I'm so glad they didn't pass it up and soooo grateful! And my parents got me the cutest pink bouncer chair that I really wanted but couldn't justify buying because it wasn't a neutral color that I could use when we have a boy. Its so nice getting those things that you want so bad but wouldn't actually buy yourself. One of the great things about presents! Love them! haha
Drew and I decided 2 weeks away from each other was way too long, we won't be doing that again if we can help it. Except for the fact that we will have to again in August when I move back to Provo. haha But when he picked me up from the aiport we went out to dinner at PF Changs. LOVE that place, the sweet and sour pork (or chicken) is to die for. When we got back to our apartment my sweet husband had chocolate dipped strawberries waiting for dessert. He dipped them himself. I was so impressed and they were HEAVENLY!
Let's see what else? Oh, the 4th fo July. We actually didn't do much....you've gotta be crazy to go out in Vegas on the 4th. Too many drunk people plus fireworks ='s DANGER! So we laid low. Drew knocked doors during the day and got some sells so working the holiday was a success. He was home by 3:00 so we went to the pool to cool off. I made some 4th of July star cakes and bought some sparklers so that was about the extent of our festivities. Our pictures turned out horrible for some reason so forgive me for the poor quality. If you can't tell by the pictures, I was exhausted and not feeling so cute. Sleeping hasn't been going so well the more pregnant I get. Still can't complain though with how smooth everything is going I will take the sleepless nights. They are getting me ready for nights up with the baby, right?
By the way, I am now just about 32 weeks along. I had a doctors appointment on Wednesday morning and everything went very well. The baby has a healthy heartbeat and she is kicking plenty. They measured me and said I'm measuring at about 30 weeks and I was at 31. They said thats pretty normal for a first pregnancy to be measuring a little small. I hope thats true. My trip to and from Provo for the appointment is a whole other story for another blog, I will definitely have to share later. Lets just say it was SCORCHING HOT and I thought I was going to die. haha
