little cantaloupe

Our munchkin is now the size of a large cantaloupe, about 19-22 inches long and around 6 pounds. He won't be getting much longer but will gain about a half a pound a week, which is not good for this momma's saddlebags.
Despite getting more uncomfortable I'm still doing well, just finding it increasingly difficult get some stuff done around the house prior to his arrival. All I'd really like to do is just sleep all week :) These past two weeks we've taken it pretty easy, getting some relaxation and time with friends in.

34 weeks

The weekend before last Jake and I pretty much accomplished nothing. On Friday we climbed in bed at 4pm and took a two hour nap. It was AMAZING. There have been a few days I've fallen asleep on the couch after work but I can't remember the last time I laid in bed and took a legit nap. I think this will be a new routine until this baby arrives. 
On Saturday we had a date night and did dinner and a movie. We were a little early for the movie so we killed time with arcade games, which made us feel about 15 years old. It was pretty crazy thinking this could be the last, or one of the last nights like that before we have to get back home to free the babysitter. 

My super sweet husband also surprised me with an early "push present". I came home to a new laptop topped with a bow. He set up a photo editing program on it so now I'll have a place to go crazy with the 100 pictures a day of Easton. An awesome new camera, a new laptop and a photo editing program to go with it?? I should get pregnant more often :).
And yes...that is my bare belly. My shirts are having a difficult time stretching over my giant stomach ok?

35 weeks

So this past weekend we went camping, surprised? Well I was good and brought that awesome camera my husband got me, but was apparently too busy taking pictures of my adorable niece to remember to take a 35 week picture of me. Soooo, that's why I look like absolute hell in this one. I had to hurry and take one tonight before I turn 36 weeks tomorrow. 
Here are some of the pics from the past weekend. Possibly the last camp trip before Easton arrives!!

love is in the air...

These past two weeks have been filled with weddings, traveling, and camping. I'll start with two Thursdays ago...
Before Jake came in that night I had to obtain a trailer so we could bring back his new toy that was waiting for us in Rupert. So I hauled my big, pregnant butt and Cooper to u-haul to pick it up. Three trailers later we find out it's our car that won't get the trailer lights to work...and they're now officially closed. And of course they can't rent a trailer to me if the lights aren't working. The guy must have felt bad for me because he called his boss who just so happens to have an Expedition AND knows a little something about fuse boxes. The boss made a special trip in and two hours, a slight headache, and a tiny 25A fuse later, I was on the road.

Early Friday morning we hit the road and headed to Rupert, and this is what we picked up. 

Don't most husbands sell their motorcycle when there's a baby on the way? Well not mine :) He's been talking about it forever and I just couldn't hold him off any longer.
So once we picked up the bike we headed back to Twin for the wedding festivities. We spent the afternoon in the pool because it was insanely hot, I got a pedicure with my girlfriends, and we ended the day with dinner at a great restaurant with an even better view. 
even my phone couldn't handle the heat...

On Saturday we lounged at the pool again until the wedding. Luckily a small storm rolled through right before the wedding and cooled everything off, or this mama could have had a heat stroke. It was a beautiful wedding and of all the times I wished I could drink, this one takes the cake. Although DD was unwillingly my title of the night, at least everyone got home safe :)


The next day Jake and I took off pretty early and on the way out of town stopped by Shoshone Falls.


This past weekend we attended another wedding near Anderson Reservoir where we usually have our annual fourth of July campout. 

I wasn't very good about packing around my camera but here are the few I captured from the weekend.

Hope you all had a great 4th!
