I am so excited that it's August! I'm at 32 weeks today, only 8 more to go. It's weird for me to be seeing a doctor every couple of weeks now, it's probably more than I have seen one over the course of my entire life. Things are going well though, baby is healthy and happy! We have been packing up our stuff to move to West Jordan, we're just waiting on the title to clear on our new home. I love where we are living now, but there are new opportunities awaiting us wherever we go from here that will be fun to discover as well.
I've been reading the April 2011 conference and loving every talk from it--one of my favorite quotes is by Jean A. Stevens, First Counselor in the Primary General Presidency, "It is here in our families, in an atmosphere of love, where we see and appreciate in a more personal way the divine attributes of His spirit children. It is here in our families where our hearts can be softened and in humility we desire to change, to become more childlike. It is a process by which we can become more Christlike." I know that having a baby boy will be such a blessing to Andrew and I, we will be able to see things from a different perspective and learn to appreciate each other more fully as eternal companions. I love you, Andrew! :)
Andrew goes back to school in a couple of weeks--he's pretty anxious to start up again. He already has all of his textbooks and has started studying German for fun. I keep teasing him about it because I can just imagine how annoyed his classmates will be at how overly prepared he is compared to the rest of the class...but of course, that doesn't really matter. It just makes me giggle :)
We have one trip before the baby comes in September, thank heavens. We haven't done anything outside of the valley in months and are due for a couple days off! We'll be headed to hot, hot, hot Moab for the annual Smith family outing on Labor Day weekend. At that point, I will be at 36 weeks, so I am not sure what it will be like for me. However, I am still extremely excited to get out and about before baby comes!
That's all from us now, we'll probably post photos of our new place after we actually own it!
