Ensign Peak

We hiked Ensign Peak for our Young Men/ Young Women activity tonight. It's not a terribly difficult hike. About a mile round trip. A little steep at the beginning mostly but views well worth the hike. I decided that I would try to do it. And i did it! I'm sure I'll be super sore and tired tomorrow and maybe regret it but i did it! Felt pretty awesome for hiking at 9 months pregnant.


Silhouette. The sunset was amazing!

Yup pretty much all baby in there. You're welcome to come out anytime! Really wish that this hiking business had coaxed my body to start this thing but it feels pretty much the same as after my daily walk around the neighborhood. Sigh.

As promised, beautiful sunset!

Is it normal?

Is it normal to get really depressed a few weeks before you give birth? I know the hormones are going crazy and all but this is killing me. I'm always moody. I'm taking everything personally even when i know things aren't meant that way. Everything and anything can make my cry including Douche bag who was yelling at me today on the road because i couldn't get over to exit because other people wouldn't let me over. Does this mean I'm going to have issues with PPD after i deliver? What's other mom's experiences with this?

Last Hurrah!

So we decided to go to the drive in for one last big date before the baby comes. Last summer we went to the drive in about twice a month and it was one of our favorite things to do. We really wanted to go once this summer before the baby came. Check! We've been checking the listings for the perfect pairing and after waiting a month this pairing came up: X-Men 1st Class and Pirates. Perfect. After 20 minutes of weighing the pros (awesome movies/last big date) with the cons (being out until 2:30am and then having to get up to go to a Stake youth activity at 10am)(doesn't being a responsible grown up suck sometimes?) we pounced on the opportunity last night. After going so many times last summer we have the drive in down to a science. Our car is perfect for the drive in. We put the back seats down, load a futon mattress in the back, pack in some body pillows, bring all sorts of snacks and get comfy. The hatch back is awesome for the drive in because it's super comfortable and if there's a thunderstorm (like there was last night) you don't even get wet at all!

And in order to stay up until 2:30am i fell off the caffeine wagon for one night. That's right after not touching caffeine for 22 months i had one can of Dr. K last night. I guess it kept me up until the movies were over but i didn't really notice a huge difference between having caffeine and not. The baby didn't even act much differently. I am not, however, planning on drinking caffeine all the time like before so don't get excited Brad. :)

We highly recommend the drive in. It's a party and so fun to do by yourself or with friends! And now that we've gotten that out of the way feel free to come anytime baby!

P.S. Complete side note...if someone else who has my due date or any due date thereafter has already had their baby i don't want to hear about it. If it's not me i don't care. Think I'm going to have to tell that to the Young Women at church who have begun telling me about other people who are due in July who have already had their babies. Really I'm to the stage that hearing that makes me angry. That may be pathetic or petty but i don't care.

36 Weeks, Are we there yet?

Not pregnant. (I prefer this view.)

Very pregnant.

One of my mission companions from spain, Anna. We were able to spend a couple hours with her yesterday. She's great! And she'll be here for 2 months so she'll get to meet little Isaac too!

Check

Well his room is done. The crib is up, the rocker and dresser are in. Changing table is ready. Clothes are washed and in drawers. Other random stuff that was in there is gone. I think his room is ready for him.

And it's June! The month before he's due!

35 Weeks

I've had a few people tell me that i look really small still and they ask if the baby is growing fine. I think they're just trying to make me feel better. The 5 longest weeks of my life lie ahead of me.

Michigan weekend

I went to Michigan a couple of weekends ago with my awesome friend Amy for a baby shower. The only picture i have from the baby shower is the one above of my aunt, cousin and myself. Amy took the action shots. Although i don't have pictures the shower was awesome! Thanks so much to all who came! That weekend also happened to be prom weekend so we tagged along for the taking of prom pictures. It was a pretty awesome whirlwind of a weekend. These pictures count for week 32 pictures too. Way better than profile pictures lol.
