I'm Sooo Done!

With 4 weeks and 4 days until my scheduled C (assuming it doesn't change, since it has about 4 times!) I think I hit my wall. Only about a week ago I was thinking this wasn't too bad and with a little over a month left I had this! Well I'm not so confident after this past week and I'm not so sure the last few weeks are going to go as quickly as I was anticipating.
I'm definitely way more irritable. It is just really hard not to get terribly upset every time there is another mess to clean up. Especially when bending over is soooooo cumbersome. It feels like there isn't one more square inch left inside my stomach.
Don't get me wrong I am so happy to be having a baby and can't hardly wait to meet my new little boy, but the last month sure is a killer.
So now with only a few things left on my to do list to get ready for the baby I'll sit and wait and hopefully the next month won't be terribly long :)

Playing with Gma & Gpa Reeve

Spencer's parents live in Salt Lake county so we don't see them as often, so we decided to meet at the mall and eat and then let the kids play for a while. My kids love the big tree and dinosaur at the University Mall so they were thrilled! It was a lot of fun and my kids got out a lot of energy, they have been having some cabin fever. Thanks Gma & Gpa Reeve for a fun night!

Curiosity & Creativity Award

This week Brooklyn's teacher Miss Spadafora called me to tell me Brooklyn was going to be receiving an award at the Monday morning Stand and Shout assembly. I wasn't sure what exactly it was for but was excited to go see.
Earlier this month they had to write about and draw a picture of what they were curious about and wanted to be when they grew up. Brooklyn wants to be an artist. Out of any award she could ever get I think this fits her the best. She is such a curious child and loves learning and is very creative. If all she did was art projects the rest of her life she would be happy! I'm so proud of you Brooklyn and love you! Keep up the great work!

The Holy Ghost

Gavin: Mom, is the Holy Ghost in your head?

Me: Yes, you can hear him whisper to you in your head.

Gavin: I can't hear him.

Me: Well when you turn eight you get a special blessing and then you can have him with you all the time.

Gavin: Oh, that's cool.

Me: Yep.

Gavin: That is when you get the present of the Holy Ghost, that's what Mrs. Dowse told me (his Sunbeam teacher).

How awesome is his Sunbeam teacher?

Also, this past Sunday I was teaching Sharing time and talking about the Atonement, I asked "why did Jesus die for us?" Gavin was in the front row and immediately said "so we can be saved."

I think I need to get some tips from his teachers, because he comes home with a wealth of knowledge and I am amazed that he picks all this up.

30 weeks

So, I'm not a huge fan of having pregnant pictures of myself. With Brooklyn I took one picture towards the end and have some because someone took a bunch at my shower. Which is fine..I guess. Gavin I think I have one and I'm six months pregnant on Christmas morning. Other than that I can't think of any. I figure even though I detest pictures of me growing huge I know that someday maybe (that is a huge maybe) I might regret it and want to look back to my childbearing years and remember what I looked like, because frankly I don't remember much these days and if it weren't for the gazillion pictures I take, I would have a lot less memories. So, here is to memories and to hoping in 9 weeks I'll be saying good-bye to the preggo body for a while :)
Now prepare yourself..I know I'm smiling but it doesn't mean it is pleasant to see.
