37 Weeks

Today marks the 37 week point of pregnancy (aka: the most uncomfortable I have ever been in my whole life). No, it's actually not too bad, but the baby is now sitting very low so my movements have become less graceful and flexible. Only 3 more weeks and I have a lot of emotions going through my mind about now.

Kimball is going to be a dad and I will be a mom in a very short time! This has come at a wonderful time of our lives for us. It is amazing that something I have dreamt of for a very long time (my whole life) is coming true. Ever since I was a little girl, I instinctively knew that when I grew up I would be a mommy too.

I have LOVED working as a nurse and will deeply miss my time spent at the hospital. Nursing is a profession that really makes you feel good about yourself because you help someone every day. There are bad days, good days, traumatic days, heart-wrenching days, uplifting days, draining days, sad days, and excellent days. I assume this will be very similar to raising kids. As much as I have enjoyed my job, I don't think anything can replace being a mother. Yay!! I am excited for this new adventure.

Bear Lake

On Saturday, we enjoyed a day trip to beautiful Bear Lake: behold for yourself! Logan Canyon is gorgeous at this time of year, so we had a nice drive up to the lake. We had a fun time eating the famous raspberry shakes, wading in the water, and relaxing on the beach.

We love Zucchini

Kimball's aunt Janice gave us a few huge zucchinis from her garden this fall, so I thought I would take advantage of having so much of this blessed vegetable by turning it into something sweet: chocolate zucchini cake! Kimball loved it and so did our neighbors!

BYU Football

What a wonderful game on Saturday night! We LOVED it, mostly because we were pleasantly surprised with BYU's performance. Hopefully this is not a fluke to how their season really will be. Sam Bradford's facial expression was classic when he looked up at the Jumbo Tron after his team missed their field goal. Ha! We got a good laugh out of that. Watching BYU football makes me miss BYU. Being in Logan is great, don't get me wrong. It's just not Provo or BYU!! We did get Aggie icecream the other night, but it's not close to what the creamery on 9th is like. :) What good memories we have!

32 Weeks

I feel like my belly is a swimming pool, and our little baby LOVES it! He is swishing around all over the place doing some great dives, hand stands, and crawl strokes. :) Everything looks good. Just a little less than two months left! Yay!

Saying Goodbye to Hunt Road

Moving is a tough thing! We spent most of our moving day cleaning our house and doing yardwork so that it would look really nice when our landlords came back that night (for the first time in a year). By the end of the day, I thought to myself, this place is SO nice!!! I can't believe we are leaving it! We have so many great memories of living on Hunt Road. That house gave us a chance to really get involved with yard work, which we both enjoy doing.

The day after we moved, our landlord called us and said, "you sure have done a wonderful job with the house and the yard. My wife screamed a scream of delight when we pulled into the driveway last night. It just looks great!" Part of our stellar rent deal was the stipulation to take care of the yard and the house. We are so glad they were pleased when they arrived there.

Grandpa Twitchell

Grandpa Twitchell has always loved Kimball to cut his hair. Each time we visit, he gets a much-needed hair cut. Other people sometimes offer to cut grandpa's hair, but he tells them that he will wait for Kimball. Kimball does a very nice job and gets a chance to talk to grandpa about his hay harvest.
