ha! just kidding. I just looked at that picture last night and gasped because I don't know how I moved around with a planet that size in front of me. That is me the day before I delivered Macey. And that is what I have to look forward to!

20 Weeks
Me at 20 (I think) weeks.

Ben starts his month long preceptorship in Montana today. He just finished up an anesthesia rotation and presented his senior paper last Thursday...THAT was a relief for him to get over with! The end is so close I can almost taste it...it's a mixture of excitement, relief, nervousness, sadness, and ready-to-be-done-and-move-on-ness. But, it's not over yet, so I'll enjoy the time we have here!

Mousie Needs a Home
One of the favorite games around here.
We play it at every preschool day at our house and we played it last night for family home evening. If you have kids ages 2 to 4, this is a PERFECT game!
Rules:
Everyone, except one person in the middle, chooses a "home" (a couch, a chair, under the table, a nook or cranny, etc.)
The person in the middle goes to someone and says "Mousie Needs a Home."
The person in the home says yes or no. If they say yes, then they trade places and if they say no, then the middle person finds someone else to ask.
That's it!

3.14=Pie Day
I was craving pie today, so I made an apple pie.
I was thinking while I made it, it wasn't apple pie season.
But I shared some with some friends (they had a crazy day)-who are super smart people-and they told me it's pie day...but Pi Day!
Perfect. Maybe I'll have two pieces to celebrate:)
PS. I had to admit today that I can no longer button up my pants. So after going to the grocery store (for the 3RD time, arg) I unbuttoned them and breathed a sigh of relief. But I forgot to button them back up, so when I dropped the pie off I paraded around with my pants unbuttoned and unzipped. Sorry guys! I'm awesome.

0 to 60
We went to sunny St. George this last week. Before we left, it was 10 degrees in Pullman. When we got to St. George it was 60 and felt like 80 to me. I could have sat in the sun all day. We did a lot of playing at the park, riding bikes, eating out, and a little shopping. I got a mini sunburn, which was actually kind of nice:) My favorite part of course is staying up late((r)-it gets earlier as I get older), children sleeping, laughing with family. It was quite funny watching Bonnie be the celebrity grandma, I'm not sure they are used to sharing attention from her!
I also got to see Ashley, a college roommate who lives in St George, one of my best friends through college.
Here's the kiddos: Blake, Lucy, Macey and Cody. He's really hoping I'm having a boy since Carly and Amy are both having girls...Cody would really be the odd man out if I had a girl too:)
After our trip we came home and spent a little time with my family. Cody played non stop with Clayton, his favorite person.
Our plane ride back was exciting. I checked our itinerary and read that our flight left at 12:00. We got to the airport to check in and it said we were too late, which I just knew was wrong so I went to the ticket counter.
The woman looked at me and said "Your plane leaves at 11, not 12. You have six minutes before your flight leaves. RUN."
Run we did. I was actually sweating when we finally sat down at our plane-which was on the opposite side (terminal E for anyone who knows...last one) of the fair sized salt lake airport.
A couple of things saved us:
I had packed all carry on sized suitcases.
Some neighbors of my parents were next to us in security and told us they would run our luggage down for me.
Cody is amazingly good at running a half mile when he has to. I apparently need to run more.
They opened the small steps of the plane to let us on right before they pulled away, and my parent's neighbors somehow ran our luggage down in time (it was being thoroughly searched and seized by the security people...argh).
Luckily we made it on and got home to see Ben just as he finished all his overnight rotations!

Favorite Sounds
My favorite sounds lately...
The front door opening. Because, thanks to child proofing, the only other person who CAN open the front door is Ben. And it means he's home! Ben has been working overnights so those come home times are random - usually around 8 in the morning, but still nice to have him home:)
Cody's Laugh. The other day I read him The Grouchy Ladybug and he just belly laughs at the end when the ladybug gets whapped by the whale tail. He also laughs so hard at funny movies and Word World. Love it.
I love you from Macey. All kids have strengths. Macey's has been talking, but she never said I love you to me for months and months. I remember the night she finally said I wuv you. Now she occasionally says it and it's pretty sweet. It might make up for the -literally- continuous mischief she gets into.
Sidenote: Usually it doesn't happen at other people's houses, but the other day she UNLOADED a container of Desitin all over the floor of my friend's house and her baby's head. UNCOOL MACEY. Sorry Laurel! It's waterproof...so don't try to rub it off with a damp towel. der.
My baby's heartbeat. We didn't hear it at the first ultrasound so it was so nice to hear at my doctor's appointment the other day. Here's an update for everyone at Utah so you don't gasp when you see my larger-than-normal-for-this-point-in-pregnancy belly. I can't say I wasn't warned I would get big fast my third time around, but it's still fascinating to actually see it happening to myself. Nette I think you can agree I'm showing here right?
13.5 weeks.
