Well, I am now 24 weeks! I have noticed people are starting to stare at my belly when they see my and I have gotten plenty of people touching it without asking.  It is a lot of fun seeing her kick and move! It always seems to distract me from whatever I am doing- I just don't want to miss any!

This is what I see when I am at work

Stewart is in a ceramics class at BYU and he is making all kinds of cool bowls, bottles, and cups that we get to keep! I am so excited to see all his finished products and be able to use them!  He taught me (well, tried) how to throw on the wheel.  It was a lot harder than I thought it would be and have so much more respect for people who are good at it!  Here he is working on trimming one of the many bowls he made for our kitchen.

At the hospital they have a ceramics shop but all the patients get to do is paint molds that the staff made.  The instructor wanted to make sure the Rec Therapy staff knew how to do everything so she let us do a project.  I did this little turtle piggy bank. Not anything close to how impressive Ste's stuff is

We have been golfing more recently.  I am actually getting a lot better so it is more enjoyable for the both of us! It is a nice physical activity that doesn't wear me out (besides the times I lay on the ground waiting for the people in front of us to finish).  

It's a....

Most of you already know... but.... 

Here is an update on how everything is going:

Ever since I started Prilosec a couple weeks ago, my heartburn and nausea have gone away! Thank goodness! I can finally enjoy the foods I want again! Kind of celebrated this with a nice big Rancherito's burrito.. Yummm

She was measuring about 10 days further along.. so maybe she will come 10 days early?? Wishful thinking..

She sure is a busy little girl.  She will move around at around 6am.  I will lay on my side and it feels like she is jumping from my hip to my ribs.  For some reason, she LOVES the right side-even when I am standing up.  Sometimes I literally have to try and push her because there just isn't enough room for her to squirm about on my side! It has been fun to see my belly move when she kicks or moves around, kinda freaky at the same time.  haha

As far as names go-no, we don't have any. Well, I guess we have like 30 we are trying to choose from. haha Still kinda difficult for us to figure that out. But hey, we have four months left to do that.

I haven't had any strange cravings at all.  Mostly, I see or eat a little of something and just want it really bad.  One time a girl was eating some really greasy chips at work and I was going to the store after work so I grabbed a bag.  I opened the bag as I was leaving the store and almost ate it all by the time I was home... There was also a time we drove past Krispy Kreme and I said, "Man, if that hot sign was on, I would totally go get one."  So Ste had me turn around and we went and got a couple donuts.  I ate the first one and was going to save the second one (a chocolate icing one with kreme filling-my fav) but Ste took a bite out of it.... And I kinda-ish yelled, "What are you doing??"  He told me he is has never met anyone who is more competitive over food.  Then I got pregnant and it just got worse.  Mac and cheese has kinda been my go-to meal this pregnancy.  Mostly because it was the only thing I could eat.  The last couple weeks I haven't had too much of it just because I have missed other foods.  But cheese in general has definitely been a big part of my diet.  Actually, dairy has.  Like two bowls of cereal every day, yogurt, string cheese, white cheddar popcorn... And most of our dinners include cheese, too.

I am certainly love being pregnant.  I have kinda forgotten what it felt like throwing up almost every day, but maybe that's a good thing so I will have more children.

4th of July Weekend

 On the morning of the 4th Grandma and Grandpa had a family breakfast with some delicious french toast, butter syrup, lots of other goodies, and lots of family!

We were lucky enough to go to Stadium of Fire!!! It was so cool and a ton of fun!! I love Carrie Underwood so I was really excited :)

Stewart enjoying some Carrie Underwood

Saturday night we went on a date to Trafalga to play some mini golf and Stewart did the batting cages.  He was surprised at how good I was at the indoor blacklight mini golfing and knew he couldn't just make it easy on me.  When we got to the outdoor one, I started to do a ton worse.... haha It was a lot of fun though!

I am now 21 weeks! Over halfway now!!

Washington

A couple weekends ago we were able to go to Washington for a quick trip for Rissa's reception and the Saul Gallegos Memorial Run.  We got to spend some time with the hilarious nieces and nephews, eat lots of Cafe Rio, and Stewart ran his first 10K!!!

Stewart played softball with Rock and Ryker and whoever was the catcher would say 1 or 2 for fast or slow.  It was fun to see the catcher say what the batter didn't want haha

Jensley and I decided that cheering the boys on and eating lollipops was more appealing.

Stewart before his race!!!

He did AWESOME! He got third place in his group! 

This year they rededicated the memorial after some repairs and updates were made.  I am so happy we were able to come up for it and hear the story of how materials and people came together to make it an even more special place.

This was, I believe, at 18 weeks.  I need to get a picture now for 20 1/2 weeks, though!

Remember when we had Marissa pin the speedo on Javier at her bridal shower?  Well, I went to Marissa and Javier's one morning, suuuper early, because Stewart had to take the car to work and I didn't want to walk from Grandmas's.  They had laid out a blanket... and a nice picture of Stewart.  Javier just got me back for what we did for him.
