33 weeks!

I'm now at 33 weeks and this is a picture of me last week- so 32 weeks. My belly seems to look really funny...is it just me? Does it really look normal? Anyway, not a ton has changed lately. It's so nice to have work so slow- especially because I'm getting more and more tired and sore every day. And I'm pretty sure Lyla has settled right against my bladder because I serious have to take bathroom breaks every 10 minutes!! I wonder when my boss will notice...

Paul was a great sport and took a birthing class with me last weekend. It was Friday night and all day Saturday which was a bummer especially since ESPN Gameday was going on. We learned all about the exciting, scary things that will happen in the next 1.5 months- I hope we're ready! I feel more prepared though and I'm glad we were able to do it.

The most coveted shirt on campus...

It finally happened!! After attending BYU for 3 1/2 years, playing on 35+ intramural teams, and going all out in many lost championship games, Paul got the t-shirt when his men's volleyball team won the tournament!! For those of you familiar with intramurals, you know the significance of these T-shirts. Many times in the last few years, my fellow sideline-sitters and I have discussed how we could get these shirts for the guys so they don't feel so much pressure & disappointment each time they make it to the championship. Now that he finally has reached this point, he'll decide to only play one sport at a time so he can spend more time with me, right? :) Hehe- i'm just kidding. I love going to all of Paul's games and watching him play- especially now that it's hard to imagine moving that fast!! If I tried I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to walk for a month! I thought the shirt was funny so I had to get a closeup of the front and back.

The hardest part of the event was that I was out of town so I missed the biggest game of his intramural career so far!! I was getting update texts from Ashlianne and each one made me more and more excited and devastated that I wasn't there!! Paul was such a good sport though and said it wasn't a big deal, and he wore his shirt when I saw him next so that we could celebrate the victory!

31 weeks!

So, I really feel that someone needs to find a way to slow life down a bit. Can I really be 31 weeks pregnant?? I know I look it but it just doesn't seem real. Here's a picture a few weeks ago at 29 weeks:

And then last week at 30 weeks:

I'm sure I won't feel this way with future pregnancies but right now I'm enjoying being pregnant and I feel I could stay this way for a long time! Of course some things are hard to do (I would never wear socks if Paul wasn't around to help me get them on), my standards of good exercise have been drastically reduced (my 27-minute stationary bike workout today was done at a pace so slow that I would have been going backwards on a regular bike), the most comfortable way to walk is the typical pregnant waddle, and most areas of my body ache or have sharp pain or just feel tired most of the time. But it's so much fun to sit and feel our baby moving around and to think of the future and all that it holds- so all of those things are so worth it! Anyway, life is great and I couldn't ask for anything more!!

Paul's been interviewing for full time positions starting after he graduates in April so we could be living far away in a year!! Any guesses on where we'll end up? Right now I'm thinking somewhere warm...
