July So Far

Well I am down to my last week of being pregnant...fingers crossed! I am so ready for her to be here, somehow I keep getting more and more uncomfortable, i have hit the point where it feels like i will be pregnant forever, seriously the last two weeks seem as long as the full 9 months! We have been trying to stay busy and have fun in July. We went down to my parents house on the 2nd for Crystal's 20th birthday. We celebrated at Texas Roadhouse with the fam and got to give her a big "yeehaw" while on the saddle for all to see! Then we had cake and ice cream back at my parents place. Saturday I ventured out to participate in the usual Kaysville 4th celebrations. The parade was not as enjoyable as in years past to say the least. I was having tons of contractions and back pain. My mom asked the people next to us if I could sit under their canopy, i love how when you are pregnant you don't care how silly you feel you will do just about anything to be comfortable including joining another family's party! It didn't help that the parade was like an hour longer than in years past, but it was still a lot of fun. I spent the rest of the day on the couch in pain but managed to make it to the fireworks. Kaysville never disappoints! Sunday the 4th Tim and Jessica blessed Jace at my parents ward. Tim did a great job, but again I was in so much pain that I couldn't stay in sacrament past the blessing. I sat in the foyer for a while then I went home and slept while everyone came over for a luncheon, lame I know! Needless to say after the weekend I was ready to be home. I thought for sure with all the contractions and discomforts that labor was coming but of course this whole week I have felt much better...go figure!

Crystal came to visit this past Friday on her way to Bear Lake. We went to the sidewalk sale in downtown Logan, got ice cream and went to the zoo when Phi got home from work. The zoo isn't much of a zoo, so we were thrilled to see a peacock with his wings fully spread. I had never seen anything like it. The wing span was huge and so pretty. Definitely made the trip to the zoo worthwhile.

Saturday night we went to the demolition derby. I was very hesistant in going because I thought I wouldn't be able to sit on those bleachers that whole time, but somehow I managed. Demo Derby's are one of our favorite things to do in the summer so I just sucked it up and sat through it. Unfortunately there were no fires or flip overs but it was still very entertaining, especially the people watching.

We have enjoyed the first half of July but are anxiously awaiting the second half even more. I am just praying she comes by her due date...i don't have the patience to endure past then...which means she will probably go over knowing my luck. Oh, well she will come when it is her time.
