Last weekend was a great one. Scott and I both (miraculously) had work off on Friday. So we decided we needed to go skiing. It was a gorgeous, incredible day at Snowbird, and Scott and I had SO MUCH FUN. It was a little hard for me to accept that it would be my last ski of the season (especially since I'm 22 weeks pregnant... whoops). It was also a little hard for me to accept that my husband could out-ski me (he's a snowboarder!). I have to say... skiing badly (aka slowly with exaggerated turns on groomers only) is a lot more difficult and tiring than just relaxing and doing what comes naturally. But I'm not complaining... I'm just happy I made it through the day without feeling sick or taking a fall. Little man loved it. I could feel him wiggling the entire time (This is his third or fourth time on the slopes).
The bad news: we both got ugly goggle tans. Scotty, especially, was fried.
Even with skiing, we were able to get errands done in the evening and feel like we already had a head start on our weekend. We spent the rest of Friday night relaxing in a hammock at Lindsey Park (no it's not named after me... sadly). It was so nice to relax and talk and laugh. It was some badly-needed Scott and Lindsey time.
Scott went climbing Saturday morning with our friend Elliot (I was extremely jealous, but also realistic that I wouldn't be fitting a harness around this belly of mine), and then he spent the rest of Saturday studying and getting a ton of homework done while I worked. It was a fun day of work... but super busy and my feet were killing me. My feet have been killing me a lot lately. We ended the night with a delicious dinner at the Dodo. I love the Dodo. I could eat there every day.
Sunday was EASTER! I love Easter. LOVE Easter. We had set the alarm on Saturday night to wake up at 4:45am so we could attend the sunrise service at Snowbird. But when the alarm went off we mostly just laughed at ourselves and went back to bed. We went to church (YW had a brunch at one of the leader's apartment) and had a wonderful day to worship and learn more about the Savior's Atonement. We drove around Salt Lake taking pictures for a book we're working on. It was fun to just ride around together and swap ideas. We really haven't had a lot of time to just hang out in a while. We spent the rest of the afternoon at my parent's house celebrating, cooking, eating, Easter egg-hunting, and chasing around the little people. It was fun to see my cousin Vanessa, and it was fun to just relax and hang out, play pool, and watch Peter Rabbit with the boys.
Monday came and went. Tuesday I did a TON of baby errands with my mom and sister. it was so great to get so much done, and I went from feeling completely overwhelmed to feeling excited and slightly more prepared. It was nice to have a day off, fun to spend it with my mom, and satisfying to get so much done. I even was able to get a new pair of glasses (my mom needed some and it was buy one get one free)! Scott was so supportive and excited about everything. I feel so lucky to have him. Even with tests this week, he has managed to let me know that he's here for me and will help me with anything I need. I'm so proud of his hard work at school. Wednesday as a study night. I worked until about 8. Scott took a study break to have some dinner with me, and then he studied while I (unexpectedly) passed out on the couch in Scott's baggy hoodie and somehow ended up in my bed. See how great my husband is? He even plugged my phone into the charger.
We both had a really good night sleep except for my middle-of-the-night panic. I was aggravated from a dream I was having about work, and I woke up completely panicked that I couldn't get my ring off my fingers because my fingers were swollen from the heat. I ran to the bathroom to run my fingers under cold water, got myself a drink, and tried to relax and get back to sleep. As I did, I felt the baby in a totally different way! It was so great! The little guy was running laps in my belly. I grabbed Scott's hand and put it on my stomach so he could feel it. We've felt a kick here and there before, but this was a consistent string of kicks, one after another... about 12 total. It was FANTASTIC to feel him so strongly. It was the weirdest thing, almost like when your muscles twitch involuntarily while you're drifting off to sleep. I'm still not showing a ton.. definitely not 22 weeks' worth. But little man popped about two days ago, and I have a significant bump... which is so much fun! I am loving my pregnancy! It helps that I've been blessed with energy and no sickness.
Today Scott and I had dermatology appointments. The whole family is getting check-ups in light of my dad's recent skin cancer scare (in which we were greatly blessed). Scott sailed right through with his mole-less skin, but I had a few things to make note of. They removed the mole beneath my nose (which I affectionately refer to as my "booger mole") to send for testing. I also had an injection into lip to shrink a lump I got my summer in Moab. And then I'm due back 6 months from now to check on a few things after I have the baby. All in all, everything looks good. The only item of concern was the booger mole, and now it's gone! Ha!
And that gets me somewhat caught up! I have so many pictures to post (most are on Scott's phone) of our trip to Mexico, more skiing, Easter, and just hanging around with Scotty... but I'll have to get those up on the blog another time when I'm feeling more tolerant of technology.
Tomorrow's Friday, and then we get to spend Saturday celebrating the wedding of our wonderful friends Eric and Rachel! It'll be so fun to see friends, attend the temple, and take a day to slow down a bit.
Scott just walked in from taking his test! Goodbye blog!!
