Out of Shape!

Holy cow guys! I am so outta shape! I mean I was before I got pregnant but its even worse now! Let me give you an example...

Yesterday right after dinner like literally, me and Micah left to go on a walk. I usually have to beg Micah to go with me. Even get down to the nitty gritty guilt trip type of beg! Not yesterday. I told him we should go on a walk. I was shocked when he didn't argue to much. K I admit we don't argue. And I don't mean to brag by saying that. But we both hate contention so we are really good at avoiding it in our marriage. He kinda actually agreed! It probably helped that Sunday morning he mentioned he needed to start running THIS week or else his suit pants won't fit him next week. So he didn't go running yesterday. Usually if he goes on a walk with me we have to make it kinda short since he doesnt like them. Well it was his idea to walk about three miles or so. I was practically bursting at the seams with excitement. I love walks. Let alone in up here in beautiful Midway! So we start out walking to the top of our street (we have done this hike before while I have been pregnant and it wasn't easy then. So I haven't wanted to make him do it unless he says let's walk to the pond and back because it isn't too nice by any means) and start up the road that takes you up over the mountain to either Park City or Salt Lake. We then "turned around" if you wanna call it that, and walked up past the Wasatch State Park Pond. It's a fun little pond by Wasatch golf course. We stopped for a break, k not really, there were people fly fishing on the Pond. Yup you heard that right! FLY FISHING ON THE POND!! Why they think its acceptable to do that is beyond me. Fly fishing is for the river. Ha! I guess it provides good practice. Two of the three needed it after all. Anyways while standing there I caught this picture 
          And in that moment suddenly the fact that this walk almost put me into labor, k not really, but it felt like it would was suddenly worth it! I am so incredibly grateful to live where this is literally in my backyard. I love Midway in the spring\summer time. I hate it in the winter time though. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that I love being outside either! 😉

So after the walk we got home and I could barely move and the bottom of my feet hurt like no other and I have a heating pad on my lower back as I type this. But I would trade it for anything.

Happenings

Alright I finally am updating my blog with photos!!!! Wahoo! I love having a iPhone. It makes a nice convenient camera. And makes it even easier for me to update the blog with photos! It's the blogger app and I think you should get it!

Well to start off here is a recent update.

Long post sorry.

Micah- Micah recently, like with in the past three weeks, got put in the Elders Quorum Presidency as the secretary. How great is that! He doesn't love it so much ;) he has big "promises" he will haw "big" callings and is starting to believe that this is he beginning of those. He is quite worried. Ha such a humble man. He has had the golfing itch lately since the weather has been getting nicer. He went for free yesterday with work so they could get "inspired" for their new jewelry line, golfing jewelry. How the owner thinks the line will do well is beyond us. But hey Micah got a free round of golf out if it so he isn't complaining....much....how you are supposed to get "inspired" about golf Jewelry while jumping the golf cart and doing donuts in it as well is also beyond me. Ya Micah was frustrated to say the least. He was hoping to get in a full round of golf but since the other guys were messing around they called it quits on hole 12. He is picking up a side job here and there and we are excited for a little extra money. It will be nice with the baby on its way and me quitting next week! Tuesday Micah came home from work and asked me if I wanted to go look for golf balls with him. I happily agreed since I hadn't seen him all day and wanted to hang out with him. So across the street we went with a grocery sack in hand, the kid was pretty excited. He figured if he went hunting for range balls he could go hit them for free. Range balls are the yellow ones that you only use for the driving range. (Where you practice hitting the golf ball in case you didn't know what it was in reference to golf.) once we got to were he planned on hunting for them I told him I will look and you bend over to pick them up. He happily agreed. Bending over at 34 weeks isn't the easiest to do. I was kinda sad I didn't get a picture of him looking for the balls. But I thought about it AFTER we hunted for them. In the midst of looking for range balls he also found some actually golfing balls and was quite a happy camper when he found some good ones. I guess those Pro-V 1X golf balls i got him for christmas LAST YEAR just aren't quite what he thought ;) jk he would rather mess around with a used one then the Pro-V 1X's, those puppies are quite expensive. Like $100 for two boxes. But he is worth it. After he was satisfied with his loot, we walked back home and he soaked them for five minutes and washed each individual one by hand. After that we then walked over the the range and planned on looking like we bought a bucket of balls, but actually saw a partially used bucket already on the range, so he pulled his loot out of his golf bag and poured his collection into the bucket and began to happily hit his free bucket of balls. I'm sure he felt so smart for coming up with the idea. He saved $8 dollars after all! (That money saver! At least one of us are;) he is turning me into one as well)

Heidi- where to start? Holy smokes I am getting uncomfortable and I still have six weeks to go! Eek! Between the heartburn swelling and the lack air to my lungs I am really ready for this baby boy! Besides the fact that I can't wait to hold and cuddle him and smell him and wipe his little bum! I am getting quite big and people who come into the pharmacy keep on saying I look like I am about to pop! Ha! Funny thing is, is that I am finally measuring small. I say finally because I would have measured way far along at the whining had my doctor measured me. Instead she would just say every appointment wow girl! You are defiantly bigger then you really are. Thanks! ;) it never did bother me. I knew I was showing more then normal. Errands and work are really taking their little tole on my body. I am getting so warn out these days so easily. I am glad I only have three more days of my working career! I am sure I will go back to work one day but not for a long time! I am fortunate enough to stay at home and raise my child. Thanks to Micah supporting me 100% in that! :) I am planning on using the next five (hopefully two and a half;)) weeks to get organized, declutter, clean, and get ready for the baby. I am still crossing my fingers that we get a second bedroom and so eventually I can decorate the nursery in the nautical theme. But I'm sure that wont happen until AFTER he comes. And that's okay. As long as it happens I will be happy. Don't get me wrong I am so thankful that we have the opportunity to save money and live in Micah's parents apartment but a one bedroom with a baby is quite a tight fit. But if needs be we will gladly make it work. :) I recently made the cutest door hanging for the apartment door! And I am in SO.MUCH.LOVE! I can't stand it! Lol I'm not sure if pictures will post how I want. They might all show up at the end of the post. Hopefully they show up where I post them though. If not sorry.

This past weekend Micah and I got to use a night of his parents time share up at snowbird ski resort and spend the night! I was quite anxious to get up there and was getting frustrated when our time Fran kept on getting pushed back. I guess you could say I don't do so well when my time that i get to spend with Micah is interfered but who can blame me. We all like to spend some quality time with our spouse right! I love when me and Micah get our own time together. When both of our full attention is on each other. And not being split. And since it's getting closer to my due date I am really savoring the time! Anyways we went to go look at the flight shops before we went swimming but they were already closed. So we went back and went swimming instead. And then came back and crashed. Ha! We got up early to come down to Salt Lake like 7am early! Yes on a Saturday but we had a lot to get done. While we were down in Salt Lake we went to babies r us to get a few bottles, since we haven't had a baby shower yet (in two weeks we will have one) I wanted to get those now since its not a common baby gift item. I also wanted to grab a couple of binkis. I let Micah pick them out and guess why he chose. Foot ball ones! Ha! So fun! I love that I am having a boy! I think little boy stuff is so much fun! We had the option between baseballs, footballs, basketballs, and soccer balls. I was a little surprised to see Micah pick foot balls. He did kick for his high school team but its not a favorite sport of his. He loves basketball more but he bought he basket ball binki looked more like a tiger. So football it is. His uncles will be so proud of those binkis I'm sure!

Well I think that will sum up this postN it is quite long! But hey! At least I'm a posting! I need to do a little post here and there. Maybe that will be my next goal. ;)
