Flash Back Friday

OK, I know this wasn't even that long ago but it was really a fun day for me. Must have been my 26th birthday? Doug sent flowers to my office at HPU that day. And Gio was still so little. And Kaity and Danny and Al still lived here. Actually only 5 of these 15 people still live here! How sad for us.

And don't worry, graduated from BYU-H just about 9 years ago already! 

I can not believe how fast that has gone.

And about 20 something years ago.... Dad was just barely older than me :) 

Just going through the old pics and thought I'd share a few...

little sailors

doug took his three webelos out sailing for their activity. it was a first for all of them and they had a fabulous time. and i think captain doug did too :)

36 weeks

So on Tuesday the doctor said that I'm 100% effaced and 2cm dilated and he's in a -1 station. If you've been to birthing class lately you will know what that all means... or I suppose if you've had a kid or two. But anyway. I think this might have something to do with it. Just in case you think Doug does all the work himself.... think again :) I have been shoveling quite a bit of dirt lately too...

35 weeks... last week.

major new development... lost circulation in right arm/hand and really haven't gotten it back. just lots of pins and needles and aching and waking up a ton and not sleeping good... so yeah, getting more ready to have this baby :)

I looked out the window and what did I see....

Douglas chopping at our ficus tree

yikes...

the machine

Doug can function on high gear, all day, on very little fuel. It is amazing to me. He seriously is like a machine. We worked all morning doing yard work and then he worked all afternoon doing more work, all the heavy, jackhammer, concrete & rock moving stuff. And then he went to play basketball for 2 hours. And not just a light game. Pretty much 2 hours of straight running/sprinting. All this on just a bowl of cereal and a cheeseburger (a mouth wateringly delicious burger on our new grill i might add) and fruit for lunch. I get cranky and totally feel it after about 3 hours max of not eating... he can go all day pretty much with no thought of food. How is that possible? I think it must be because he really is part machine.

AFTER A DAYS [or 2] HARD WORK:

and from the yard... 

graduated

I can't get this to go the right direction. It's being a pain. But here you have it. Doug and I have successfully completed our childbirth class. It was actually pretty good and except for the long breast feeding part, and the one class I said he could miss, Doug did excellent :) He was the best baby swaddler in the class. Only 32 more days!!!!
