10...9...8...

30 weeks
So the countdown has officially started for Alex and I. We have 10 weeks until our lil one makes our cozy twosome into a hectic threesome. With joy we are anxiously awaiting to dress her in many cute clothes and share her with everyone. :) My next appointment is Wednesday the 25th and I am expecting a routine checkup, it is the last of my 4 weeks appointments before I move to every 2 weeks. We will probably have 1 more ultrasound before I deliver. So far my pregnancy has been smooth health wise. I've noticed how much the body truly endures while making way for a baby and I must say it is no rodeo. I feel helpless sometimes when I am trying to get off the floor or even onto the floor for that matter. Alex has been really great and I appreciate his attitude through all my stubborn, teary and flat out crazy pregnancy moments. As well as the middle of the night wake up calls, make getting out of bed to use the bathroom easier with his help.

Alex started school on the 9th and has enjoyed his classes so far. It has definitely been crazy juggling our schedules and it makes us wonder how we did it our first semester married... and we realized we never really saw each other and I wasn't pregnant haha :) He has officially decided to attend Weber State this fall and continue on with his degree in physical education. We are coming to a crossroads in our lives here   shortly and are making some big plans regarding school, occupation and area code choices. We have been so blessed the last 18 months-ish to have family surround us and support us and give us guidance. We'll fly the coup soon!

Work has been good for Alex, he's getting back into routine to work the 445 shift again 3 days a week! I guess it helps that I get up with him on those days most generally as well, or I'm already awake. Work for me has been good, we made it through another rush week at the bookstore but business at the Davis campus has been good for us and has kept flowing I think. As long as I am cleared to do so health wise by my doctor I plan on working up to my due date, or pretty darn close to it.

Alex and I have had some pretty awesome spiritual experiences within the last 2 weeks and we are so grateful to live close to a temple. I think without the help of the Lord in our daily workings we would truly be at a loss for what we should be doing. We've gotten so much better about reading scriptures together everyday and I've realized how better my day has gone for doing it. I watched The Testaments today and felt the spirit so powerfully! This church is true I know it. Alex and I have a testimony in the power of our Heavenly Father and the wonderful things He does for us, everyday. 

Hopefully we'll get better with our blog! Have a great day!
Love,
Alex, Kelsie & Peanut
