Week 23
Week 23
Week 23:
- This week Wrekker is over 8 inches from crown to rump and he weighs just over a pound. His little body is still in the 20th percentile but we really think he is catching up and he will be healthy and just fine upon his arrival.
- We started out our weekend by leaving town on Friday. Kason took the day off and we left at 6:45 in the morning so we could head to Salt Lake City to see one of Kasons mission companions be married in the SLC Temple. I had never been in the temple and so I was super excited! We had a fun journey up and eventually Kason stopped letting me drink (ha ha ha just kidding) because we stopped A LOT to use the bathroom! Anyone who knows me, knows that I use the bathroom excessively anyways....well it is even WORSE now that I am pregnant! :)
- The session was at 12:30 and we arrived just barely 30 minutes early. We had to change in the parking lot because even the large amount of extra time Kason planned into the trip for bathroom breaks, was still putting us behind ha ha. The session was beautiful. I have never seen anyone be married before, and I couldnt help but be flooded with the most wonderful emotions as I remembered when Kason and I knelt across that beautiful altar. I think I watched him for the whole ceremony instead of the bride and groom. I told Kason that Wrekker was kicking me the ENTIRE time and I felt like that was as close as we were going to get to being near him until he comes to earth in October. It was a special afternoon! After the temple we went to the City Creek Mall and window shopped. Then we drove back to Orem to our hotel. We took a small nap and then went to the reception which was only 5 minutes away. It was SO HOT. This was one of the hottest weeks in all of history for Utah and being pregnant must not have helped! We didnt stay long, but we were so happy for Ryan and Shelby. After the reception we went to the hotel and swam and then went to dinner. The next morning we ate breakfast (MY FAVORITE PART OF A HOTEL!!) and got the late check out! We started heading home around noon with a few fun stops on the way. I love road trips with Kason. We never stop laughing! My body was super sore from riding in the car so long two days in a row and so it felt nice to finally be home. We got home kind of late and got Durangos to go for dinner.
- Monday, my mom and I used her Mothers Day Coupon to get a massage. Dont worry, I paid for my own. It was lovely! It was an all afternoon event. We ate lunch (which was awful, I must need to broaden my horizons because I was terrified to eat anything! I had a banana...at a buffet... Then we had our massage and then pedicures. I cant wait to do it again!
- Wednesday, I finally buckled down and FINISHED WREKKERS DRESSER! I cant believe it either! It looks amazing! I think it deserves its very own blog post when I get the pictures up! Any six month pregnant lady who can re-do furniture on the hottest day of the year, deserves a medal! Just saying..
- Thursday, was the Fourth of July. Kason had the day off so Kade and him went shooting in the morning. I was pretty spent from the dresser because I worked on it all day and until 10pm. I decided to just take it easy. When he got back we got ready and headed down to Bunkerville for our annual 4th of July party! The 4th is my favorite holiday and I love spending them now with Kason. I cant wait until Wrekker gets to have so much fun swimming and watching fireworks with my entire family. It was seriously so hot outside. It was still well over 100 degrees at midnight! We watched the fireworks, set off our own, and then headed back home. Happy Birthday America! We sure love you!
