WHALE

So this week is week 29. I can't believe how close it is, yet so far! Everyday, I feel bigger and bigger and I'm positive I look it. I can hardly bend, and I'm starting to waddle on occasion. Especially when I have to pee! Which is ALL THE TIME!!! I thought I was bad before i got pregnant, holy cow! Not to mention the gas, yeah that's a blast...for Skyler. But what can I say, I'm pregnant!
So my latest craving/addiction is otterpops. Love them! Luckily, they are only $3 for a bag of them. For a while it was honeycombs. Then the other day I bought a bag and Skyler wanted frosted flakes. Now it's frosted flakes. It used to be pickles. And fresh fruit was in there for a bit. I think now, it's really just anything that will keep me cool because my house is so dang hot all the time...or is it just me. No, it's me. Ok, it's both. Even Skyler notices. I have to say though, thank goodness I'm here and not in California. I think I would be dead. Anyway, that's it for now. Enjoy the gross picture. (It's on here for my mother's benefit!)

TEMPLE

So we just went to the temple today....I don't think I can do that again. It was so hot, I was so uncomfortable. We went went with Calvin and Andrea. It's so nice to have the temple right up the street from us. I got up there and only had half my recommend. Let me explain. I had a plastic cover on it and half had a picture of Christ, the other was the recommend. I forgot that a while back the picture broke off. So this morning I grabbed only the picture, not even thinking to check. So I got in and there was only a plastic picture of Christ in my hand. Oops! So I had to run home and grab. So therefore I am very glad to have the Temple right down the street. Anyway, from now on when we go, it can't be as long. I can barely make it, and I have a feeling it would just get even worse.

LATEST BABY

So I went to the doctors yesterday and had my gestational diabetes test. The drink was like cool-aid on steroids. The kind a little kid makes, with ten cups of sugar. I guess it could have been worse. After they took my blood, my doctor gave me an ultrasound. It was so cool to see Maddux look more like a normal baby! If you can tell in the pictures, he appears to have GIANT lips. It's kind of funny. Poor kid looks to have my nose, but maybe he'll grow into it and it won't be as big. Since Skyler couldn't be there, Doctor Watson thought he would give Skyler a picture of the baby's manhood. So we can all be sure it really is a boy. If it's not...poor girl. Here's the latest picture of the belly growth. I finally broke down and bought some maternity shorts. I've been holding out, but my normal jeans are a pain when I have to pee.

FOURTH OF JULY

I know it's a late posting, but oh well. I had to get through finals. Here's just a few pictures from Fourth of July. This year we went with some friends to go watch the fireworks down in Idaho Falls. They were pretty good. Calvin and Andrea knew some people who had a great spot with easy access to get out before all the traffic. Skyler wasn't too happy that I was having him take pictures to document the night.
