The Heat is On!

My new favorite toy, Thanks Laura!
 After a few weeks of not being able to walk due to extreme hip and pelvic pain, I am back!  Went to my regular OB visit yesterday and Dr. Leavitt took one look at me and
Tapioca with Daddy
could tell that my hips were off.  They were more than two inches off!  By the time he set them I could not believe the relief that I felt.  I honestly felt proud that I didn't cry right there in the office. However, I have decided that veggies are gonna be my best friend for the next three months because I gained seven pounds in one month!  There is just no way that I am gonna look like I did at the end of my first pregnancy. :) As for our little girl, she is doing great!  I actually measured about two weeks past where I should be.  Big belly!  I guess it could be that I haven't been very active the last little while due to the pain.  Her heartbeat was strong and as always it was so much fun to hear it!
Kitty rocking is fun...for one of us.
Toys in the nursery rule!
At Ashley's reception
      Since the last time I wrote we have had a few adventures.  We went down to Logan for our nieces wedding.  It was so hot!  I couldn't believe how acclimatized I am to Eastern Idaho.  I almost immediately started having Braxton-Hicks contractions and they didn't end until late in the evening.  Ashley looked amazing and I totally loved that she chose pink and white as her colors.  It was a beautiful reception.  Justin enjoyed the nursery toys and gave Daddy a chance to actually sit down while they were there.  We stayed in Tremonton at the Sandman motel.  It seemed like they have done a really nice job with the remodel until we attempted to sleep.  The bed was horrible.  Every time one of us would turn over it was so noisy that it would wake up Justin.  UGGH!  We won't be staying there again any time soon.
     After much contemplation, I finallydecided to spend Justin's birthday gift card from his Grandpa Meek.  We bought him a trike.  I think we will most likely get years of fun out of this rather than a few months.  That was the goal; to choose something that wouldn't just be a short term summer fix for this year.  Justin loves it!  Thanks Grandpa!
