Summer lovin

I can't believe how fast time has flown! This summer has been pretty low-keyed for the most part, especially since Andrew is either going to school, doing homework, or at one of his two jobs. He seriously amazes me, he does so much for our little family and i don't think i could ever show him how much i appreciate him. We are both looking forward to the end of the semester on the 24th VERY much so he will get a little break from school and homework, and just have work over the next 7 weeks. Oh and we are both looking forward to the end of the semester when we meet our little boy in about 3 weeks! I'm getting so anxious now, and so terrified, but either way the time has definitely slowed down. Andrew is getting pretty anxious to meet the little guy as well. The other day he was rubbing my stomach and says, "hasn't he been cooking long enough?" haha it was so cute! i'm glad he's just as anxious as i am! He loves to feel him move around in my belly.

We have been able to get away a couple weekends this summer to enjoy ourselves. Over the 4th of July we went to the parade here in Rexburg for a little bit with some friends, and then headed out to the lake in the afternoon with some friends from the ward and had a GREAT time. I loved to see andrew out there tubing. Unfortunately, i'm a little too huge to fit into a lifejacket, so i wasn't able to go tubing or anything, but I loved watching people. We didn't stay long because we had to get back for a BBQ with some of my old roommates, which was well worth it as well. It was great to see them again and spend time with them, and to watch Amber's little baby Lucy make the cutest faces! After the BBQ, Andrew and i headed down to Idaho Falls to watch the most amazing firework show i've ever seen. I heard it was the best show west of the Mississippi, and you know what...it kinda was! it was incredible. We had a great time with friends from our ward there. Unfortunately, the only thing i took a picture of was i Idaho Falls.

This last weekend there was a mountain biking trip scheduled for the elders quorum Saturday morning up around Kelly Canyon, so a few couples from the ward decided to camp out the night before up there. It was pretty much the funniest camping ever since we found a spot around 9:30, and 3 of the 4 couples were blowing up air mattresses to assure a wonderful sleep. I don't usually do my camping like that, but at 9 months pregnant, you better believe we brought an air mattress and pillows! I still didn't sleep much, thanks to my bladder, but i got enough. The following morning the guys took off and went mountain biking, and the girls stayed behind and played some card games and enjoyed good company. what more could we ask for? it was a great weekend. I love any time i get to spend with Andrew since he is always so busy with homework, so of course i had a great time.

As far as the pregnancy goes, i'm 37 weeks tomorrow, i can't believe i have about 3 weeks left! We haven't quite picked out a name for sure, but we've got one we like. We'll see what happens in the hospital when we make up our minds. I'm looking forward to being able to move again...and to lay on my stomach - if only for a few minutes. Our little boy is moving like crazy, and seems to be doing just fine.

Here i am at 36 weeks
