Bring on Spring

Matt and I soaked up the great weather this weekend by checking out the flowers at the Temple, and then BBQ'ing with some good friends. (Side Note: Cheese Brauts=best thing ever!) Today I hope to head out to the dog park with the "kids", then head up to the Tulip Fields with the girls and pretty much ignore the fact that I am still pregnant with no end in sight :)

39 Week OB

My Weight: 160lbs
His Heart Rate: 158bpm
Dilation: 0cm


STILL NO CHANGES! I am having random contractions, but my cervix is still closed and the Dr. doesn't want to do anything to help me progress until the baby drops. I am starting to fear that I will be pregnant forever...



Although I have it VERY easy for being in my 9th month (no heartburn, sleeping well and fairly comfortable) I am still ready to be done. I have no appetite anymore and I barely fit into even my maternity clothes. My energy is low which is really what is getting to me right now. I have so much that I want to do, but resting is taking priority.



I took some pictures last night of me in my last month. Some of the angles make my gut look pretty crazy! However, it is really that large. No stretch marks yet, but I do have that funny line down the middle, and for some reason, mine is crooked. (The top doesn't match the bottom) Leave it up to me to be abnormal :)

Easter 2009

Matthew and I started off the Easter weekend by dying eggs with the Andersons. The guys got bored with it pretty quick, but Samantha and I colored most, if not all, of our 2 dozen eggs. I always have a great time thinking of ways to decorate :) Sunday we went to my parents ward, and then went to their house for dinner. After dinner my family watched funny videos on the computer, and caught up on the latest episode of Flight of the Concords. We were also very entertained watching all the dogs play.Then we played Battle of the Sexes which, as you can tell by Matt's face, really did turn into a battle.
Luckily the game ended in a tie, and we all still love each other :)Happy Easter!

Puppy meets Pig

Us Washingtonians are not really used the the bright light quite yet....During the nice sunny days we have been having, we have been taking the dogs to the Ebey Island Dog Park that is across the street from a farm. Brimley and Brisbane got to meet their very first livestock! The cows were super interested in them, but Brim especially loved the pig who stuck his nose through the fence for Brimley to kiss.
Then when we got home Brisbane was worn out, but Brimley still had enough energy to run around in the back yard for a bit. This picture cracks me up. He is such a happy dog, I just cant get enough of him.Both our dogs are big hits at the dog park. Brim just romps around and plays with everyone, while Briz is happy chasing her ball. People are amazed at how fast she is.
More sunny days please!
