1 Year Older and Wiser Too...

Okay, I don't know if that's true, but I've had another birthday. It was on a Saturday this year. My birthday itself was pretty uneventful. I went with Dave to the business for a couple of hours to get things started, then we did a few errands, haircuts among other things, and finally we went home and just vegged. I got to take a 3 hour nap, which I always appreciate being able to do over the weekend. Here are our new do's.
Sunday we went to church and I got to catch up on some more sleep. Monday was the best! Once again, Dave and I got to sleep in. When we finally dragged ourselves out of bed, we went to the business, only to realize we left the business keys at our house. We decided to close for Memorial Day and I don't think we missed much.

We went down to Springville and got some lunch at Dairy Queen. It was pretty good. We also went to talk to the guys we bought our hot tub from because there's a leak and Dave had a couple questions for them. They know us fairly well, so Dave told one of the guys that we are expecting. I was pleasantly surprised when he said, "how have you been feeling? The 1st trimester can be tough..." My reply was that I've been feeling better, especially since I'm actually about 1/2 way through the 2nd trimester. :0)

When we finished down south we decided it would be fun to go to a movie. We stopped home briefly and decided to go see "Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides" - this was my birthday present from Dave. We enjoyed the movie, actually liked it better than the 2nd movie.
Lastly, we went to Bed, Bath & Beyond after the movie and used a gift card we got from Christmas last year, along with a coupon, to buy a pizelle maker. That's right, a pizelle maker - my birthday present to Dave. We made a batch of pizelles and they were pretty tasty.Final note, I broke down and bought my 1st pair of maternity pants a couple weeks ago, capris. Thanks to the weather, and a lack of "baby bump," I haven't worn them...until now. I think it may be time to go invest in some more maternity clothes. I'm finally getting a little too big for all my clothes. Hooray!

Recap/Just a Note

I thought since it's been a while I would just write a bit. Wow, I thought it was last weekend, but I guess 2 weeks ago was mother's day. I love my mom! She really is the best. My mother-in-law is pretty great too. I can't believe I'm going to be a mom soon too. Last week I got to do a quick trip to Logan. (Finally!) It was wonderful to see the moms.

Last week was my dad's birthday. It's been 6 years since he passed away, but of course I still think about him a lot. On his birthday I was working at LDS Hospital (ironic) and it briefly snowed! Yeah, totally blame my dad for that one. :0)

This weekend has been a lot of work. The business keeps Dave and I so busy. It's been such a learning experience. I worked in Salt Lake Friday and then decided to go to Doc's. I was just going to check and see how things had been for the day, but it turned out to be a good thing I did. We had a couple people out and we had our busiest Friday EVER!! We did $1100 in 4 hours, with very minimal staff. It was crazy, busy, and crazy to say the least.

After doing 6 hours at Doc's Friday night, Dave and I got home about midnight, then went back the next morning and essentially ran the day shift by ourselves. We had 1 employee there with us, but he was making dough for most of his shift. It wasn't nearly as busy as the night before, but it was steady and we did pretty well for it just being the 3 of us there.

Last thing, I have been an emotional wreck! I think that's due to, hmm... oh, maybe being pregnant! Yeah, so I cry at most anything. One of the worst things is listening to the radio. I've also lost some coordination and brain function I think. Oh the joys. I still don't think I look really pregnant at all, but the bump is coming along. We're in the day by day phase. Here's to beginning a beginning another fun-filled week.

Then & Now

Here's some comparisons - with pictures!

Mom at (almost) 9 weeks
*Little tummy goingBaby at 7 weeks
*Barely there, my little
piece of rice...Mom at 15 weeks
*Not seeing much difference
from the above Mom pictureBaby at 15 weeks
*Looks like a person

By the way, during this week a co-worker told me that I had a bit of a "baby bump" showing, FINALLY! Then another co-worker promptly told me that the 1st was lying. You be the judge.

One more, non-baby, then and now...Taken 4/30/11...
see a problem with this?I didn't get around to the "now" picture
where you can see the ground and it's not all
white out, but it actually looks spring-like now.
Until next time, "bye" from Baby Porter.
