BuSy!

We have been busy! Here are some of the things that have been keeping us so busy:

1. I am giving in and posting a "pregnancy picture". This is only because we don't have any from when I was pregnant with Kason and people have been telling me that I will want to look back and see one someday. I must say, though, this picture is pretty deceiving - I am actually alot bigger than this. So, this was taken at 36 weeks. I am now a little over 37 weeks. The doctor says the baby (who still does not have a definitely decided on name) could come any time. Kason was already born at this point. I am having alot of contractions and am sick of being pregnant, but am still hoping to make it one more week so that my sister will be here and Isaac will have some more tests out of the way. We will see!



2. We moved! We have been looking for a bigger apartment for a long time now. Unfortunately, it didn't really work out. We ended up moving into a slightly bigger apartment here in the same complex. I really wanted a washer and dryer, but things are too expensive close to campus and we couldn't find any openings anywhere that would work out. Frustrating! So we have moved across the parking lot. We are so grateful all the guys from Isaac's program showed up one morning and carried alot of our stuff over! I thought it would be pretty easy, and I'm sure it was easier than moving further away, but it still ended up being a bit messy! Being 37 weeks pregnant, moving, and having a husband in grad school do not go together well! I think our apartment is finally getting some order to it though! We are really happy it could get done before the baby comes too! And we are really close to the school which helps us be able to see Isaac a little bit more. We have lots of friends around so we can deal with a tiny apartment a little while longer.

3. We attended our ward's potato derby. It was the day after the pinewood derby and we made cars out of potatoes! It was pretty fun. My car lost horribly the first time it raced, but Isaac's made it to the semifinals. His car is on the right in the video.





4. We had a fun Easter. A guy from Isaac's program gave Kason a HUGE bear, which Kason loves to jump on. Now there is just the question of where to put it?! My mom also sent a few things for an Easter basket, including some edible grass. Kason loved it! Please ignore the chaos in the background, this was the day after we moved.

We are doing good. Kason is growing up so much and makes us laugh all the time with the things he says and does. We are loving the sunshine that has been here the last few days!!

The Coast

For the last part of spring break we made our way to the coast! On the way there we learned that Kason can get a bit carsick sitting in the back seat of the van on a very curvy mountainous road and not to feed him strawberry yogurt and crackers right before we go. He ended up throwing up all over himself. Luckily, our friends were more prepared than we, and let us borrow their little boy's extra change of clothes. Once there, though, we had alot of fun. We went to a place that had lots of little tide pools. We saw lots of starfish and little crabs. Every time we have been to the coast it is kind of misting all the time. It's not your regular warm, sunny beach, but I think it is kind of majestic with the forest right there and the mist.

As far as a pregnancy update goes, things are going well. I am 35 weeks and counting! As weird as it sounds with how uncomfortable and tired and big I am, I am actually hoping to not have this baby until May (the due date is May 11). With Kason being early, I am worried this one will be early too! Isaac's midterms are the very last days of April so it would make things MUCH easier if he were done with those and could be around when the baby comes. Plus, we are still possibly moving around that time too! I have been thinking what it will be like to have two kids. How do I keep Kason from being completely bored and feeling neglected while I nurse practically ALL day?! Any suggestions?
