Bits and Pieces

I have been slacking on posting lately.... call it a combination of:
1- not having anything really exciting to report
2- being preoccupied with getting ready to go to Utah for the next three weeks
3- not taking many pictures of Beth or anything for that matter that I feel the need to show off.

This week has been pretty busy actually. Lance has spent most of the week studying for his take home final he had on Thursday. He turned it in this afternoon, thankfully, so now he can focus on yet....more law stuff.
Beth and I spent the week doing various things preparing for our Utah trip....
-getting some new *(gently used) clothes for Beth that actually fit her
-taking dinner to our friend, Nichelle, who just had a baby
-spending two days at Nichelle's house visiting and letting Beth play with Madison... oh and holding a week old baby and being reminded of how small and floppy they are!
-getting airplane presents for Beth at the dollar store
-doing some "scrapbooking" for the near future (secretive, I know)
-sewing a blanket for Riley, Nichelle's new baby
-planning a mutual that I won't be there for
-and of course trying to work out dates of when to be where when we're home trying to split three weeks between two families and a handful of friends.

Needless to say this week has gone by fast and because of the things we have to do this weekend I see Tuesday coming around fairly fast. Today Lance and I did get a chance to go to lunch and get some essentials..ok...and a maternity shirt... while Beth played at a friends house. It was nice to run some errands without a hot tired toddler :)

As far as the pregnancy goes...I am feeling better... just tired, thirsty, and hot most of the time. I am showing a bit and my pants/capri's are getting tight. I actually did wear one pair of my maternity capri's the other day at home (and told NO ONE) just for comfort. I want to hold it off as long as I can...I don't want to think that I am getting fat :) I do think it's kinda fun to see my tummy stickin' out though. When it gets more noticeable I'll post a picture of myself for you, Lis.

I hope ya'll are cooler than we are here in Austin at the moment. We have gotten a break from the rain and I miss it. I love the sun NOT being visible. Here we come...hot and dry Utah!
