NO VACANCY

You know you've hit the end of your pregnancy when bending over to pick something up is a monumental feat in your day. I've come to analyze this simple skill more than I ever thought I would. I see one of the girls' small toys on the floor, stop, stare at it for longer than I should, and decide if it's worth the effort to bend over and get it........Nope, it's not. So what do I do? Well, in the past couple weeks I've found my feet serve more of a purpose than just walking. I'm not joking, I have literally been using my feet to pick things up. That's how much I DISLIKE bending over. If someone could watch me throughout the day it would probably be quite comical. But THANKFULLY, my Nana stopped by this weekend with the most amazing invention known to man, the EZ Reacher! (Or as Clara calls it, the "alligator"). I think every 8 month pregnant woman should own one of these. (See picture below).

This past week Jason was gone on a skiing trip with the senior youth group at church. It's been....ummmmm.... challenging to say the least. Who knew taking care of a 3 and 2 year old 24 hours a day all while 8 months preggo could be so difficult? haha (not that I expected anything less). I think Jason owes me a week away now. I'm thinking somewhere tropical...with unlimited margaritas and mojitos...

Today I am 34 weeks!! ahhhh!!! How did this go by so fast? I seriously can't imagine her staying in until week 40 or so, but that's usually how I roll. My tummy already feels maxed out, and sometimes I swear I feel like I'm in the stage of labor where they say "PUSH!!" (I'll spare you any further details). If my stomach were a motel there would be a big neon sign flashing "NO VACANCY" on the outside. Stay in there little girl, I'm not quite ready yet :)

Some pictures from the last month and a half...

Ella turns two!! 

Yo Gabba Gabba is Ella's favorite show (and might be the weirdest one out there! LOL)

Dressed up in typical Ella fashion

Ella's new dress from Grandma Mary. Love it! 

Rodeo Day at school. These were Jason's boots when he was little! 

So we finally did it. After lots of talking over the past year we made the big leap to a professional machine. I call it "the monster." I still have my other machine as well (on the right). 

Jason washing the dogs???? WHAT!?!?!?!

Modeling the EZ Reacher. haha!
