she hulk

Lately, I've been feeling like ...

I'm almost to my 35th week but I am MISERABLE! Do you wanna hear all about my aches and pains? My feet, legs, and hands look like little Vienna sausages, I've got a tearing sensation on my mid-abdomen that won't go away, I'm having braxton hicks contractions, I get headaches off and on all day long, I can only sleep in 3 hour increments on either my right or left side, I get heart burn every night around 8 o'clock, I have allergies and swollen nasal passages, my pelvis feels like its being pulled on both sides in opposite directions, I'm sleep deprived already and have a needy toddler, and summer school officially started this week so I see my husband for a few minutes here and there during the week.

The way things are going, my baby will come out looking like this ...

Could you still love a face like this?

Those ladies who say that they love being pregnant are full of crap. Please give me another 3 months or so to get back to normal before you judge anything I say. If not I might turn into a giant, green monster. "Amber so mad! Amber crush you!"

Some family came up for Memorial Day. It was cold, wet, and rainy, but that didn't stop Corban from jumping on the trampoline.

33 weeks

**WARNING** pregnancy rant

For the past month, at least, I've been having braxton hicks contractions. They started out annoying but now ... THEY HURT! I literally have to stop whatever I'm doing, sit down, and breath. She's sitting so low that my stomach looks like a torpedo is trying to hone in on a target and explode, which creates a whole new batch of those glorious purpley stretch marks. Heart burn. This is a new symptom for me. I was sitting up reading a book. I innocently burped and almost threw up all over my mom's sitting room!

Summer school starts for Joe next week. He'll be working part-time, taking Genetics, and studying for the PCAT which is on July 20. Yep, 4 days before my due date.

Seven more weeks. I can handle this. Hopefully.

mother's day

I don't have any photos of Mother's Day because I'm pregnant and still sick. That's my excuse and sticking to it. Corban/Joe bought me work out clothes (because I asked them to) and the CUTEST card. It was one of those recordable cards where Corban did all the talking. So now I have Corban at age 2 saying my name, where we live, his name, and a sweet message. This card is definitely a keeper!

easter

I'm 7 months pregnant and starting to feel sick again! I've kind of been awful at all the holidays that have passed so far, so I decided that Easter was gonna be different even if I threw up every where we went.

We went to the North Logan Easter Egg Hunt. Corban didn't particularly love the Easter Bunny. Funny thing though, right after we snapped some photos, he couldn't keep his eyes off the bunny and thought he was SO funny.

Yes, I made the piñata. Nothing says Easter like a piñata and hot dogs. Some friends and family went to my parent's house where we roasted hot dogs and broke a piñata. I only put one layer of paper mache on the egg so only two kids got to hit it. Oops! Next year it'll be better.

My only Easter decorations, but at least I decorated right? The garland is made out of old plastic eggs that I strung on a piece of twine and then tied pastel fabrics in between each egg. The hardest part was hammer holes into the top and bottom of the eggs.

We also went to the Wildlife Animal Easter Egg Hunt at USU. They advertised animals would be present. I guess they didn't lie because they did have a fish in an aquarium there. Note to self for next year: do not show up on time for this egg hunt if at all. They spread the eggs out an hour before they had the hunt. Corban kept running out to get some eggs and cried and cried when we had to haul him back to the sidewalk. We eventually just let him have three eggs and we left.

We tried to keep telling Corban that Easter is about our Lord, and Savior Jesus Christ. Hopefully he understood a little. It was a fun Easter and he got a lot of candy that I thought we'd give away but I'm doing a pretty good job of eating.

geocaching

A couple of weeks ago we piled in the car and did a little geocaching. We went down by the poo-poo ponds and the dump. Here's a photo of the Wellsville's by the ponds.

We decided to clean things up a bit and went to a local car wash to find another cache. We had to wait for a bit for the muggles to clear out and we saw this:


Yep. She's washing her dogs at the car wash. Ouch!

birthday bowling

Corban and Joe took me bowling for my birthday. Corban's little shoes were the cutest. Joe beat us all. Corban would jump up and down the whole time the ball traveled down the lane and was so excited even if we gutter-balled it for him. Now, whenever we drive by the Fun Park he asks to go bowling. We'll definitely go again.
