25 Weeks

I finally got another pregnancy picture of myself! Here I am 25 weeks and 1 day.



I know I'm big, it runs in my family. And before you ask, yes, there is only one baby in there and yes, my due date (October 4) is correct.

Another Update

I can't believe how close I am to the end of my pregnancy! It still feels like it's awhile away, but I know (and hope) it's going to zoom by. I have just over 15 weeks left! I can't wait to be a mom. I'm so ready to meet our little bundle, but then I think of all the things we still need to do and buy before he gets here. I'm sure he'll come at the right time.

Life has been keeping us busy for the most part. Dan has a summer job spraying lawns for Green Drop. He is still looking for some kind of Marketing job to get the right experience, so if anyone knows of anything available, we'd love to hear about it! My job has been really slow, painfully slow. They say in the news that the housing market is doing really well, but it's definitely not reflecting that fact with our company! I started working for Sterling Homes a year ago yesterday, and at that time, everyone was super busy with house deals flying in the doors everyday. Now we're lucky to see one deal a week! Sometimes it scares me because there's really no point in them keeping me there because everything is caught up and there's no work for me to do. Hopefully they wait until I go on maternity leave! However, going to work everyday just to sit bored at my desk is no motivation to go at all. Plus it's getting more and more difficult to actually get a good night's sleep so I'm usually exhausted every day. Needless to say, I'm counting down the time I have left there! The feeling of being useless is starting to come back like how I felt at my last job, but at least the end is in sight this time.

Dan has been busy DJing lately. It's nearing the end of the 2010 Grad season and his new company did really well. They've had a lot of shows that have had really good feedback, so maybe next year will be that much better! To be honest though, I really don't like this time of year because Dan is so busy almost every weekend, but it sure pays off in the end.

I now have a new calling in our ward! I've wanted this calling right from the beginning and I finally got it! I am the one who creates the bulletin for sacrament meeting every Sunday! I think I got the calling because I'm pregnant. All of the other people who have had this calling have been pregnant or just started a family. So that's what you need to do to get this dream calling! Last Sunday was my first time doing it, and it went really well. I'm just excited to have a calling that I can do in my own time, and it will still be decent to manage once the baby comes (if we are still in this ward). I think I forgot to mention this in my last post, but Dan got a new calling a couple months ago too! He is the second councilor in the Young Men's. There's not a a lot of YM in our ward, one or two at best, but it's been keeping him busy and he seems to really enjoy it. His cousin Jesse is the president, so I think they have a lot of fun together in their callings.

Our goal of moving before the baby gets here is starting to diminish. With Dan only having a summer job and me going on maternity leave soon, it's not looking too good. I would love to be closer to family when we have the baby, but I guess this place will have to do for now. Maybe there's still something out there for us, but we have not found it yet.

I know I haven't posted a picture in awhile, so here is one of Izzie. She turned 1 year old on June 13th! I can't believe how big she is now from when we first got her as a tiny kitten.
