for a laugh...

After working all day, the last thing I want to do is cook dinner, clean house, and do laundry and dishes. I say we hire a maid.

When I say I'm hungry, I literally cannot wait another 5 minutes to scarf something down.

Yes, I do waddle when I walk, so please slow down if you want me to keep up.

I sneeze, I pee. I cough, I pee. I stand, I pee.

Yes, I do have cankles, swollen feet and legs, no need to point that out.

No, I don't feel like doing that, and yes, it's because I'm tired.

I am no longer in control of my bodily functions and can't help that gas escapes me at any given moment.

Yes, I really do have to get up in the middle of the night THAT MUCH, just to pee.

Yes, I am crying AGAIN, and no, I don't have an excuse.

My belly is getting bigger everyday and my center of gravity is off. Please watch our for my clumsiness.

I can no longer reach certain areas of my body, so if I miss a few spots shaving, please forgive me.

Yes, I do need help getting off the couch and pay no mind to the grunting noises I must make.

Please don't snore. I find it offensive that you are comfortable and asleep, while I toss and turn a million times through out the night.

I apologize if you feel as though my body pillow has gotten more love than you.

I can no longer pick things up off the floor. I just assume someone else will do it.

Yes, my feet and back hurt ALL THE TIME. Just assume I need a massage, no questions asked.

Yes, I am subject to being emotional and moody, blame the hormones.

Baby Shower

Thank you to all those who came to the baby shower! I was so happy to see family and friends! And thank you to all those who helped with planning and preparing for the celebration! It was greatly appreciated!!

Waiting

Anxiously awaitng for the day you will be here

Wanting to hold you in my arms and kiss your sweet face

Wanting to look into your sweet eyes

So blessed to spend this time with your life growing inside of me

Watching my tummy grow a little bigger each week

It's a miracle when I feel your movements inside of me

Could hardly wait to see your little body on the ultrasound screen

It was amamzing getting to see the outline of your little nose and hear your heart beat

A blessing from Heavenly father so sweet

Wanting to caress your baby soft skin and hold your tiny feet in the palm of my hand

Wondering if you'll look more like mommy or daddy

Wondering what color of eyes and hair you might have and if you will have freckles and tan or light skin

Wanting to feel your tiny hand wrap around my finger

Waiting for the day we get to meet our sweet baby boy, a day I know will be filled with lots of love and joy!

Belly update...

Our baby has been very active these last few weeks. He likes to move around a lot in the morning hours and around dinner time. I love to feel him move, it is a wonderful feeling! His kicks and punches are getting stronger and we can actually see my belly move with a lot of his movements! Only 2 more months to go!

Stoker Family Reunion

4th of July weekend was a weekend spent with family. It was great getting to hear stories and memories of Grandpa Hurst and his life as well as Grandma and Grandpa Stoker. There were lots of fun activites going on and we got to eat lots of yummy food! I love getting to spend time with my sister in laws and getting to see all the kids run around! It was a lot of fun!

Happy Birthday Brandee!

Since we were going to be out town for the 4th of July weekend, we had an early celebration for my cousin Brandee's birthday!

Best Friends

Our friends, Joy and Cha came to Boise to visit us the last weekend in June and it was such a blast! We have not seen each other in half a year so getting together was way past due! We were able to do lots of fun things while they were here. Us girls went to the salon and they got their nails done while I got a pedicure. Then we went shopping at the mall, ate dinner at PF Changs and dessert at Cold Stone. Took a trip up to Tablerock. Painted Brian's nails while he was sleeping :) Then the next day we got to go miniture golfing. It was wonderful getting to spend time with them, it definately needs to happen more often!!!!

Circus

The circus was in town at the end of June and Brian and I went with my cousin and her family. The kids really enjoyed the show as well as getting to ride the elephant. It was a great first experience for them!

Vegas!

The first week of June, Brian and I decided we needed to take one last vacation before the baby arrives. Going to Vegas was kinda spur of the moment since we didn't decided that was where we were going until a few days before. It was a long drive there and back but we had a blast! We stayed at South Point Hotel and Spa which is about 15-20 mins from the strip. It was a great place to stay! It had an amazing swimming pool and great reasturants to eat at, which were the two main things that mattered to me. It also had a movie theater that we got to enjoy. We got to spend some time on the strip...I still can't believe I walked the whole strip being pregnant, it was definately good exercise. We also got to see the outside of the Las Vegas Temple...which is beautiful! The weather was great! It was sunny and the breeze was blowing so it didn't feel too hot. I am glad we were able to get away for a few days and enjoy each others company :)
