A fun weekend

We went to Banks Lake last weekend (our annual trip). We had so much fun! Five days filled with water, sun, and good friends and family. Lance's 2 brothers (along with their families) and his Dad came this year. It was a large bunch. We couldn't even fit everyone in our boat. Luckily our friends Elisabeth and Sherman came along and toted the others around. It was so nice to have 5 days of pure relaxation. It was definitely hard to come back home and back to work! We slept in a tent on an air mattress and amazingly I was pretty comfortable every night! In fact, I'd like to go camping again this summer!
I have made it to the 7 month mark. Actually, 29 weeks today. I can't believe how close it's getting! It reminds me of all the things we have yet to do!! Lance is upstairs painting as we speak. We have decided on a first name but are keeping it a secret. A few people are not very happy about that! We have had lots of guesses but none even close! We finished (mostly) the baby registry last week and we take our childbirth preparation classes next month. Hopefully I will feel a little more prepared after that!
Here's a pic of me at Waikiki beach (at Banks) last week. 28 weeks along. And no- I promise that is not a beer in my hand!

It's getting harder

I just got done working my 3 12 hour days of work and I am exhausted!!! It's already getting so hard to be on my feet that long; I can't imagine what it will be like in 2 months! At the end of last night my feet hurt, my back hurt, and I had a headache. I'm not one to complain... but I still have 3 months of this to go! My belly is only getting bigger and bigger, so I can't imagine it will get any easier! I slept until noon today and still feel like I could go back to bed!

Besides being exhausted, I am feeling good. Went out on the boat all last weekend which was so much fun and relaxing. Our other baby (Coulee) learned how to jump off our friend's dock! We felt so proud the first time we saw her jump off! Imagine what it will be like when we have a real baby that is doing all the firsts!

Lance finished painting the nursery. He still has to paint the closet, but that is easy. It is a pretty bright green apple color. I can't wait to see it all put together!

Me at 24 weeks!
