Spencer and I headed down to Utah last Thursday afternoon so
that I could attend Copper Hills end of the year cheer banquet. The days
leading up to the trip I was pretty emotional about heading back to Utah and
seeing the girls, but I think I held it together pretty well once I was there.
I only really broke down badly once, but at least the cheerleader whose award I
was giving out was bawling too. Made me feel a little better. It was a good end
to an amazing year. The best part about it I think is that I didn’t really have
to say goodbye to many of the girls because we all keep in touch all the time
anyway. Whether it’s through facebook or texting, almost all of us keep in
touch. It was sad knowing that I had spent every other day for the past two
years with many of these girls and now I wasn’t going to be their coach
anymore, but I am still excited to be able to start new relationships and to
make new memories with my new group of girls here in Rexburg. But I can tell
even after 1 practice that things are different here in Idaho… But I’m pretty
sure it’s a good different.
Yes, I know I am super short....
After spending an amazing last night with my cheerleaders,
we spent the next day with my family, minus the 2 ½ hours I spent in the movie
theater watching The Avengers (not recommended for a 30 week pregnant lady… two
thumbs up thought… mostly for Robert Downy Jr. and his dry humor. LOVE IT!!!)
Most people know that my family has moved many many times while I was growing
up. In 26 years, I have moved 35 times. That’s pretty crazy stuff, especially
since I didn’t come from a military family. Well, my parents and my brothers
are moving to Hoyt, Kansas at the end of May which means I won’t get to see
them again until Mom comes to help with baby, and I won’t see my brothers until
the baby’s blessing in September. My Dad is already in Kansas, so we didn’t get
to see him but Kim and Cortney came over as well as Jason. It was nice to have
all 5 kids together for a BBQ. When I got pregnant I was super excited because
I knew my Mom would be there the entire time, so moving was tough, and now them
moving further away is going to be harder. I’m super jealous of Kim now since
she got to have my Mom 10 minutes away throughout her pregnancy and the first 8
months of Cortney’s life. She will be coming to spend an entire month with us,
which I am excited about… especially since the doctor told me today that the
chances of me delivering anytime after 36 weeks is very high due to the
Hyperemesis and other complications. As long as she is healthy (which currently
she is), 36 weeks sounds great to me! Anyway, it was just nice to hang out and
laugh with my family.
I wish we could’ve stayed longer and do more, but Spencer
had several tests and we needed to get back to Rexburg. Those 24 hours kicked
my butt though. I am feeling very exhausted in this 3rd trimester so
far. I could seriously lie in bed and watch HGTV or the Food Network all day
long. I have also been super nauseous again and I have extreme pain in my
feet. I also now sleep with a humidifier
and a nose strip so that I can breathe…. Feels like I aged 50 years overnight,
but it makes such a difference. Another negative of the 3rd
trimester thus far is the heartburn. Holy cow! I cannot wait until that’s no
longer an issue! The doctor did give me some interesting suggestions for
soothing my constant cough and runny nose…. But that deserves its own separate
post… Be excited... be very excited...
