My first "I feel HUGE..." moment....

So, I don't know if I want to admit this or not but tonight I did dishes for the first time in like 48 hours seeing as we don't really eat at home much over the weekend. I always turn the water on to warm up while I go collect any stray dishes from around the house. As I returned with my two cups I stood in front of the sink like I always do and was just about to get down and dirty when I realized I can't reach the sponge. Not comfortably anyways. My stomach kept hitting into the counter top and it's not like I can just squash my tummy against it. I mean there's a human being in there. So I have to stand on my tippy toes to finish the dishes.

Now I know I am not like this huge person who just let myself go. As I said before there is a human being in there, but it still really hit me wrong tonight. Maybe it's because I am tired, or because I slowly reaching my "Okay I am DONE!" point, but I had my first I'm a fat cow breakdown. It was so weird because it was like I knew what I was feeling/thinking was CRAZY but I couldn't help myself. Being pregnant really is an emotional roller coaster and there's NO telling when your gonna get off the ride.

What definitely did not help my craziness tonight is the piss poor job the contractor who put our sink in did. I understand the need to have some counter top to hold the sink in place, but do you really need 3 inches of counter before you even hit the rim of the sink which has another inch before your in the sink itself. No wonder I have to stand on my tippy toes and basically place my belly in the sink to do dishes! It's just ridiculous!!!

Slacker Much???

I know I am getting REALLY REALLY REALLY BAD at this whole blog thing. I would like to say it's because I am so busy and just can't seem to find the time, but that would be a lie. In truth the computer is ALL the way upstairs. I know LAZY much, but in my defense I am 7 1/2 months pregnant and try to avoid going up and down the stairs more then 5 times a day lol. Anywho, I guess you would like to know what's going on with us here in the great state of Colorado??

Things are going well...GREAT! We love it here although Steve was not very big fan of Saturday. Why? You might ask. Well....


YES Ladies and Gentleman it SNOWED!! The first snow fall of the year was this past saturday OCTOBER 8th! Just BLEW my mind. This picture is of Pikes Peak it was taken by Steve shortly after the sun had come out and the snow had melt from everywhere but the mountains which were just beautiful.

So other then having a reality check that YES we do need winter clothes here sooner rather then later everything else is going well. Steve loves his job, but then who wouldn't love flying across the United States over all the monuments in Washington D.C. and then home in your own bed that very night. Something he has done TWICE this week alone. Grace and I are enjoying our quite time during the day though. She's getting bigger by the day which means so am I...fantastic. I guess I can't complain too much because I've only really gained 10 lbs (so far) in 7 months. This week however, nesting as kicked into full gear. I know I still have 9 weeks to go before she gets here but I just have this urge to get her room and everything done before Thanksgiving. So I started slow(ish) with her MASSIVE amount of clothes. I am serious that girl has more clothes then Steve and I combined and they range anywhere from 0-3T already. She will definitely not have to worry about running out of clothes lol.

So that's pretty much what's been happening in our lives. I promise to try and be better with blogging.
