Can you believe that David and I have been married for 3 years now?? Wow, that went by so fast! We just celebrated our 3 year anniversary (May 4th) yesterday by renting a canoe and going on a nice little boat ride on the lake by our house. We got to relax in the sun and pop open some bubbly as we toasted to another 75 years of blissful marriage. Getting Married=best decision of my life! I love you babe.
Happy Mother's Day to all those mom's out there and also to those mom's to be! This morning I woke up to breakfast in bed - hashbrowns, eggs, strawberries, oranges...the works - and sitting next to my meal was an adorable little onesie for little Coleman to wear in just under 7 weeks! David is such a good man and will make an incredible dad. How did I get to be so lucky??
Then just two weeks later, my boss' wife and a friend of mine on his team threw me another shower at work! They invited the entire office, which was slightly intimidating, but it turned out great and we had so much fun! They decorated the conference room so cute with hanging onesies from a clothes line, fun little baby decorations, and awesome food. Nobody can forget to mention the AMAZING cupcakes that Emily had special ordered from Dippidee Bakery in American Fork and she even broke her no sugar all year goal to try a cupcake or two. They were de-lish! Thanks for all the love and support - I have the best friends!
Is it just me, or has this whole pregnancy thing sort of flown by? This picture was taken at 31 weeks, but I am now almost 32 weeks and that means I only have 8 WEEKS LEFT before the baby comes...and that's counting on him coming on my due date!! Yikes! Lately I have been getting a lot of comments from people that I look too small to be 7 months pregnant, I guess that's a good thing, right? Well either way our little guy is kicking and moving like crazy, so I'm not worried that he's healthy in there. :) My doctor said most babies sleep for 18 hours a day during pregnancy, but I can testify that baby Scott is awake at least every 10 minutes moving around and is probably going to run circles around me when he comes out.
We looked outside to see how well our snowmen were holding up at around 3 pm THE SAME DAY and this is what we saw! Spring is definitely here, even if it is sometimes pushed aside by the snow for a few hours.
Two weeks ago I got to cheer him on in Oklahoma City, OK for the Mountain West Conference Championships for swimming and it was incredible! I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Not only was it so fun, but David did AMAZING! He swam season best times in every event, which was expected, but he ALSO swam LIFETIME BESTS in every event - not bad for taking two years off (four total if you include his mission) and still coming back after only a year and rocking the house! He sure went out with a bang and couldn't have asked for a better finish!
And it just keeps growing! After a 2 month lull I am back on track and our little boy is growing like crazy (or at least my belly seems to be:) ) So I am almost 6 months pregnant and finally not fitting into my pants/skirts unzipped anymore, I tried to force it at church today, but probably shouldn't have. Yikes. I'm still not HUGE, which I am SO GRATEFUL for, and I am finding I have more energy and a greater desire to do things. I enjoy cooking and baking again and have been trying to take some of the load off David, who has patiently prepared 98% of our breakfasts, lunches, and dinners for the past 6 months at least. He still cooks most of our meals since he gets home earlier than I do, but I have been trying to help out when I can. I imagine this energy won't last very long, so I'm trying to make use of it but either way...I FEEL GREAT!!
I've been busy at work trying to finish my brother-in-law's family portrait and I'm getting pretty addicted to painting again. David would probably say that I'm pretty boring right now because all I ever want to do every Saturday is paint. :) Hopefully I can finish it this month and stop spending my Saturdays in solitude and spend a little more time with Dave. Spring is coming and it will be hard to stay indoors with such tempting weather outside! I hope I can make it, wish me luck!
