28 weeks and counting! As I looked at the calendar today, I realized I only have 2 1/2 months left of being pregnant, which seems insanely short, when put in those terms. I'm sure it'll go slower as I get more miserable, but I have to say, so far so good!
Today I am headed to Rapid after lunch, and then on to Sioux Falls with my sister, Tiff, my aunt Jennifer and Tiff's daughter Sydney. Syd has a softball tournament, so it sounded like a good excuse to get out of town for a weekend and have a no-kids, girls-only, good time! Oh, and watch some softball! I'm hoping the weather will be warmer than predicted, or sunny at least so I can get some much needed sun. Looking pretty pasty and in need of a tan!
We got through with branding yesterday, so that feels good to be done with. I actually wasn't there, but did spend an entire evening preparing the meal. I was just as pooped as they were I think! Jed seems to keep forgetting that being pregnant, tires a person out more than usual. Don't worry though, I keep reminding him! My reminders usually come in the form of, "Incase you hadn't noticed, I AM PREGNANT!" It's a good excuse for virtually everything you don't want to do!
The baby is moving A LOT this week. I've had to start sitting futher back from my desk at work, because she keeps kicking so hard I bump up against the desk. I've nicknamed her, the Kung Fu panda inside my belly. I figured out that I can no longer sit on bleachers for a very long period of time. Sunday we caught the high school rodeo in Faith, and 3 hours of bleacher time turned out to be 3 days of back and neck pain. I did get to eat at the drive-in, in Faith, which is my favorite cheeseburger joint in the world. Yum, I suppose that was almost worth the pain!
Our ultrasound appointment is almost here, just a few more days of waiting. It's funny how time and prayer can really put a person's mind at ease. After that initial week of pure worry and fear, Jed and I both are now able to take this in stride and know that everything with be ok.
Almost forgot to update Jayda's bed wetting issue, THANK GOODNESS, she finally stopped last saturday and hasn't had an accident since. We are very happy to be past that issue and no more changing sheets every night. Another funny little tid bit for ya, as we were driving home from Rapid last weekend and almost to Faith, I told her that this was the "quiet road" a little trick Taylor tries pulling on her, to get her to be quiet for a while. She then replied, "No, mommy, this is the road I can be loud and annoying on." So that didn't work out so well, but it was worth a try. At least she's fully aware that her nonstop talking can be annoying!
Lastly, I finally finished my last paper and am now done with this semester of school! Such a good feeling to have another 15 credits under my belt. Now I have 2 weeks of vaca time before the summer session starts. Not long enough, but I'll take what I can get!
