At Least We Did Something

TJ and I had Spring Break last week. We started our vacation a bit early with a trip to Carlin, Nevada. TJ's school had a field trip to the Fire Science Academy there.  We had a tour of the facilities and lunch with the students. It was an interesting tour. It was really great to meet some of TJ's students and get to know them. They of course think TJ is a great teacher and like him a lot.

After our one night stay in Carlin we continued to Salt Lake City. We visited with my sister Kelsie who graduated from the LDS Business College. We are so proud of her. We also spend time revisiting all of our favorite Salt Lake locations. We went past the old ghetto apartment where we used to live, and our old chapel. Of course we visited our favorite chocolate shop. Is it sad that they still remember us there and its been almost four years since we moved? I don't care, their chocolate is the best! We also got to visit with old friends.  It was a wonderful trip and brought back so many nice memories. TJ and I loved living in Salt Lake City and had some great experiences there.

TJ's dad came to visit us during the last few days of Spring Break. We had a great visit with him. They spent time at the bookstore and shopping for CD's. Tom was very generous and bought the car seat and stroller for the baby. When we brought the stroller home and got it out of the box Leia was afraid of it. She skirted past it in the house and hid in the other room. To further torture her I took her for a walk around the block with the stroller. She has been less freaked since.

Did I Mention It Was a Boy?

Here is a picture of our baby boy at 24 weeks. The doctor says he weighs about 2 pounds now. He was moving around a lot during our last ultrasound, but this time he wasn't budging. The doctor was bouncing the wand on my stomach trying to get hime to rotate. Everything else looks great. I lost 6 pounds between this doctor appointment and the last one. This pregnancy seems to be going by so quickly. Everyday I add something to thie list of things that need to be done before his arrival.
I continue to feel increadibly blessed. Pregnancy is an amazing miracle, and I thank Heavenly Father every day for this little boy that will soon be joining our family. TJ and I are so thankful for the many prayers and fasts that were done on our behalf. Okay, sentimental pregnancy moment over.
