My Big Belly

My friend and I were bored at work one day so we decided to take a couple pictures of my big belly since I don't have any... or a camera. So here is the end result...

ps. I'm in all brown because our scrubs sets are brown. I can't fit into my scrub top anymore so I just wear brown t-shirts. The patients all tell us we look like UPS.

The Council Family is Growing

I can't sleep so I figured I would add a third post to this blogging thing. We have had a significant change since my last post. We found out January 26th that I am PREGNANT :)

I took the test when LaMont was at work. I got off a couple hours before him. When it said "pregnant" I couldn't have been more surprised. I just stared at it in disbelief. I was sooooo happy, but I also had doubt. I was afraid that little stick was lying to me. So, I got in the car and drove to Kroger. I bought three more tests... all different brands because I didn't want a particular brand to lie to me. When I got home and the rest of the tests said pregnant.... then I believed it.

I have been really fortunate with this pregnancy... no morning sickness, no puking or queasy feelings. Just really tired and a lot of headaches. The only food I struggle with is Japanese food which is sad because LaMont and I love Japanese food.... our baby does not. So I guess I lied about the no sickness part.

My belly recently started to grow. I can't hide it anymore. I am due September 28th which makes me 22 weeks. We have an ultrasound on Tuesday (this is where you would normally find out the sex of the baby). LaMont and I decided that we are not going to find out. I know this is not the norm anymore. Funny how our parents/grandparents didn't even have the option...now you can do 4-D and learn everything!

The baby kicks my bladder all the time. I love to feel it move but I could do without the bladder kicks. In the ultrasounds we have had thus far the baby has been really active. Even when I could not feel the baby, it was moving around like crazy. That was really neat and weird to see on the screen, especially since I couldn't feel it moving. I am very excited for Tuesday now that I can feel the baby.

We are sooooo excited. I guess it is time for me to buy a camera....

I guess you are suppose to write in this more than once a quarter....

Not much has changed... hence the lack of writing.

LaMont is now the Second Counselor in the Bishopric of our church. I am now the Relief Society Second Counselor and the Ward Camp Director for girls camp this year! I am very excited about going to camp. I don't like camping.... but I love girls camp so it should be great.

My sisters and I went hiking recently and ran into three bears.

Speaking of hiking... LaMont and I spent a weekend at James River State Park (a wonderful wonderful place to get away for the weekend). We did a lot of hiking, grilling and relaxing. If I can figure out how to hook the camera up to the computer I will post pictures. Unfortunately I have no pictures of the bears from the trip with my sisters, just pictures of me attempting to climb a tree (with no success).

Ok, let me try to hook the camera up to the computer to get some pictures on here...

New to blogging

Hello! After Erin created a blog I thought..."what a great idea, I want to try that"... so here goes!

LaMont and I are living in Lynchburg, VA. I LOVE it here. We live in the historic district near the Blue Ridge Parkway. We can walk to work which is especially nice now that gas prices are so high. LaMont is working as a physical therapist for Virginia Baptist Hospital and I am a clinical assistant at Dermatology Consultants. We both love our jobs. LaMont is working on his Doctorate Degree in Physical Therapy. He will be finished next summer. I can't wait.

Since moving to VA we have started taking Spin and Pilates classes. I wish I had discovered these years ago. We have also been doing a little bit of hiking... not as much as we would like. Hopefully we will even be able to go camping this fall. LaMont is a boy scout leader and I am a den leader in cub scouts. We just love our scouts and really enjoy it.

Well I think that is a good overview for now.
