Viva Las Vegas

This is our newest edition...Eric finally has a nice truck to drive! We will be selling off his old white one, but are excited to add this one. It will be easier for him to guide out of and something that we can put the kiddo in. We got it in Pinedale for a pretty good deal-which is crazy since he has been looking for a year with nothing super close!

For Spring break we went to Vegas to hang out with Eric's brother/family, his Uncle/Family, and Grandpa Bud and Yoli. We has a great time and loved the warmth! We went to see a Cirque show called KA. It was good but we both thought Mystere was better. We went with Chad, Jessica, and Caydence to the strip a couple nights and ran into Mini Mouse (Caydence's favorite), went to an amazing restaurant called The Rock where you cook your meat on a hot stone, saw sharks at Mandalay Bay, went to Bellagio to see this season's flowers (dutch theme), and got some yummy desserts like Cheesecake Factory and Gellato :0). We also had the opportunity to go sailing with Grandpa Bud (and feed the crazy huge carp) and to help him celebrate his 75th birthday. We loved seeing family, shopping, enjoying the nice weather, and seeing the sites. We also got to see a new Crossfit gym and I worked out for the first time in a long time. I got swollen for the first time in the heat with the all the walking we did, and got food poisoning before going home-but all in all I felt pretty good and had a great time.
Happy Spring to all my friends....hope you are enjoying the sunshine :0)

What my 32 weeks look like...


Doing Keagles so you don't pee your pants when blowing your nose and coughing....
Birth education classes....
Sudden urges to get everything accomplished all at one time to be caught up, followed by an overwhelming sensation to take a break while you still can....
Not fitting into most of my pre-pregnancy clothes....
Kicks to the ribs....
Hunger with limited room to fit food....
Buying baby stuff :0)....
Planning and making things for the nursery....
Preparing myself for the inevitable cleaning nightmare that needs to take place in said nursery....
Imagining how life will change....
Fears of delivery....
Research on natural birth....
Answering many questions from others about our plans, names, future, ect....
Hearing how great you look or how fat you are for how much time you have left....
Irritability over not feeling great and not sleeping enough....
Day dreaming about working out to get back into shape ASAP....
Reminding myself that healthy is all that matters and that due date should be due month (just in case).....
Trying to finish getting caught up before this lil bundle comes so I can focus only our new little family....
Making blessing arrangements....
Crazy dreams....
Trying to get more protein....
Aversion to chicken is still there....
Peeing more at night....
Excitement when thinking about holding lil mister....
Joy thinking about Eric seeing/holding him for the first time....
Preparations for all the pix I want to take {he won't remember any ways :0)}....
Wondering how to get hospital pix....

Eric and I are both doing great. We just started birthing classes...and Eric was pretty funny some of it: wondering what Keagles were and if he could do them. Yea, he had the class rolling. That class inspired a conversation with a co-worker the next day about tabatta birthing. It's nice to know he is on board and excited with me. We're still trying to decide on a name...but we still have some time and I think we'll know more when we see him. The nursery plans are coming along, and we're starting to get what we need for the lil mister.
