Spring Break

 “The love of a family is life's greatest blessing”



What a great spring break!  Started the first weekend out in Salina visiting the in-laws for the annual Bull and Female sale.  It was a good auction and it was fun hanging out with all the different family members that attended.  Sunday, was spent hanging out with Dustin immediate family.  The day was beautiful and Dustin even got a sunburn!  We really enjoyed our time out on the farm.

On Monday, my brother came down and helped Dustin move furniture and lift heavier items in preparation of the baby arriving.  There was a lot of laughing and a lot of discussion on where to put furniture.  I then headed up to the city with my brother and spent the rest of the week hanging out with my parents and two of my brothers.  It was nice having time to relax, take naps, and buy all those important things that are needed for the hospital.  Friday I came back and will spend the rest of the weekend with the hubby, which is much needed!  It is suppose to snow and sleet today.... so an odd way to end spring break.

Only 8 more weeks to go..... for school and my little girls arrival! 

Happy St. Patties Day!

30 weeks

We had a doctors apt. today and our little girl is 3lb 7oz.  She is growing up.... which is causing me to get bigger....  I think the getting bigger part is hard to get use to.  Just when I think I can't get any bigger I do.  But it is all for a good cause because we want a healthy little girl when she is born. 

Walk KS started on Sunday and Dustin has been a real trooper!  Every other day Dustin and I walk at least 3 miles and then we do some free weights.  I would like to step it up to everyday.... however the day after walking my energy level is low.  But so far this week we have 12 miles which I think is super awesome! 

What a day!

Today is the day that I have felt her move the most!  Anytime I would sit down she would be kicking or moving from side to side.  What a weird feeling.... sure I have felt the kicks but the moving part.... not as much.  I can tell she is getting bigger and stronger!  And today was defiantly the most active I have been able to feel her.  I have to admit it was distracting during the day.  All I really wanted to do was to watch my stomach and try to figure out where she was, what body part was moving and try to figure out what she would do next.  It has been a very exciting and exhausting day for sure!   

-Things that are getting hard to do:
--paint my toenails... luckily Dustin is helping me out with that.... but I have to wait till he is ready... I don't like waiting :)
--bending over to pick something up
--cleaning
--putting on socks
--putting on pants... it is hard to keep my balance sometimes

Tomorrow we have our birthing class!  I wonder what kinds of things we will learn?!?

28th Week

Well this is the start of the 28th week..... and I have gotten bigger!  This Oregon State shirt use to be too big on me.   Dustin and I have been going on a lot of walks when it is nice outside.  We even took the dogs out one night.... that was an adventure!
