A Quick Post

It's been a few days since I've been active in the blog world :) I have been juggling several things and trying to rest in between!  I promise I will update soon with some pictures and something more than a list, but for now, here are some highlights from the last few days...

-I am much better after wiping out last week :)  Thank you for all of your sweet emails and comments....I appreciate your concern!  Still sore, but not so bad anymore.  And Ava is great, more active than ever in fact!

-Travis was gone this weekend on his junior high winter retreat.  They had a great time, our good friend Mike flew up from Texas to speak for Trav.  I stayed home this time, which was a good decision.  It was FREEZING this weekend and they had tons of snow up north at the camp.  Travis was exhausted when he got home, but totally energized from a weekend with Mike!  Thanks for coming Mike and thanks for letting him Holly :) 

-I had my first baby shower on Sunday!  It was so fun, and yes I took pictures...I got lots of cute things for Ava.  My Mom and sister Jennie came up from Iowa for it, which meant that we got to hang out a little bit too.  It was a fast weekend, but lots of fun! 

-I am now officially 34 weeks into this fleeting pregnancy and starting to really feel the drain of that!  I have been so tired for the last couple of days.  Ava is waking me up now, keeping me up and letting me know she is ready for action!  I swear she's having a dance party right this minute :)  I went to the doctor yesterday, which was great-somehow I LOST 3 pounds!!!  That was the highlight of my day!  Travis took me out for dinner to celebrate :) I probably gained it right back...

-I am in full nesting mode now.  I cleaned out Ava's closet and started really getting her room in shape yesterday.  I am not exaggerating when I tell you, the girl has more clothes than Travis and I and at least 20 pairs of shoes/slippers!!  She is going to be set with a different outfit everyday :)  And my laundry load is going to triple.  

-I have one giant confession to make...I watched the Bachelor last night and thought I might pass out from the drama and the stress of it!!  What in the world was that???  My sister Stacie and I were texting throughout the whole show, we could not handle what was going down and how seriously dramatic it really was.  Did you watch??  For once, all those promos declaring it the "Most Shocking Rose Ceremony Yet" were absolutely true!!  I think this show needs to call it quits, they are seriously creating problems for years to come...

-It is cold here today, although it was supposed to be "warm."  Good thing I'm too tired to care.  

Have a great Tuesday!  I imagine I will be putting my feet up and resting tonight.  Now if I could only get out of making dinner...
