Now, for a brief pregnancy update.
Tomorrow I will be 35 weeks pregnant (and not loving it). I have not been for a decent run in 3 months or played soccer for 6, and it has been even longer since I have not had to gag down fresh veggies (and they used to be my fave!). I still don't have a job, and even the seal rescue that I was going to volunteer at wouldn't have me because of my current impregnated state. As it turns out, as I get more and more pregnant and have fewer and fewer distractions I get more and more crazy. Sometimes I wonder if Joe even recognizes the girl he once married (because I don't seem to recognize myself). I think I have become totally neurotic and emotional. Ugh. I am so amazed with the women who just seem to sail through pregnancy (even enjoy pregnancy?). I think they might be lying. With that being said, Joe and I are getting sooo excited to meet our little girl. The way I see it, she is just about ripe and it is about time for her to make her showing. While our apartment is not nearly ready (and we still have absolutely no idea what to name her) we are very, very ready. Here are a couple of pictures (for better or worse) that capture me with my current globe of a belly. The scary thing is that for the next 5-6 weeks it can only get bigger. I know I have been saying this for about 6 months now . . . but I think I am going to pop.
One thing about being pregnant that has been amazing . . . Joe and I have already felt so much love and support from our friends and family. A few weeks ago I traveled to Utah/Idaho to visit. Not only was it fantastic to see everyone, but Joe's family threw me an amazing baby shower, and my friends from work threw me a shower. Then, I came back to Cali and my friends and ward threw me another amazing baby shower. Joe and I are so grateful for the love and generosity that everyone has shown us. It is a little bit daunting to think about bringing a new baby into the world, and it is so encouraging to know that we have so much support and that we really are not alone in our new adventure . . . so to everyone . . . thank you and we love you!

We are so excited for you two to have that little girl! I think all the women who sail through pregnancy and say they love it are lying too. There is nothing comfortable about it. Hang in there; she'll be here before you know it!
well, i think you're gorgeous, especially, not in spite of:), as a 34 week along pregnant woman
I love the pictures! You are a beautiful pregnant lady! Joe's pretty cute, too. I wish I could have been there for your shower, but I am so excited to see ya'll this summer. By the way, I hate pregnancy. I know it is awful to say, but I do. The end result, however, is totally worth it! (Why else would I be doing this for the 4th time??)Good luck with everything in the next 5 weeks or so. Love you guys!
I agree with Chelsey. You do look very lovely, and not all pregnant girls do. ;) I am sure with your active personality, your body will bounce back quickly and you'll be running and playing soccer again in no time. (But trust me, give yourself a good 6 weeks to recover after the birth!! It's worth the wait.) Good luck!
oh my.....you look fabulous! And it was great to see you
I love your belly! Can't wait to see pics of the little one!
