A Pregnant Story
This story is about someone who is pregnant, the story itself is not, in fact, pregnant. We went to the temple this morning, which turned out really great. My capacity for sitting for long amounts of time has been seriously reduced lately due to my large belly, and leg cramps. Luckily, all went smoothly...until we left and headed for WinCo. We'd already been in the car for 30 plus minutes, and by the time we got to WinCo I really needed to use the restroom. When I stood up to get out of the car, my lovely little girl positioned some body part directly into my bladder, and I REALLY needed to use the restroom. Sterling told me I waddled into the store. Thanks, hon. Upon coming to the entrance of the public restrooms, I noticed a sign declaring "Closed for Cleaning". There should be a law against that sign. So I followed Sterling to look at the fireworks for a minute...and then my oh so loving daughter decided to further jab herself into my bladder. I went and stood by the sign. They were still cleaning. A few seconds later a manager walked by, and by then I was desperate. I asked him if there was another restroom I could use, or if by chance I could use the one being cleaned for just one minute?!?!?! He yelled "Fransisco!" And a nice man popped his head out, while I, quite red in the face, walked into the restroom and felt very much relieved. But very much embarassed. Oh to have better bladder control again!

News of Late
All my little preggo friends had their baby this week. My friend Aleesha had her baby on Tuesday, and Sterling and I drove there after work to see little Liam--pretty cute!! Then my friend from my ward had her baby on Friday, and then my friend Chantelle was induced Saturday morning! Now I feel like I should be having a baby, but...I still have four weeks! Oh well. We have got a TON of baby-readying stuff finished this weekend:
-We got a high chair for 5 dollars at a garage sale. We were babysitting Megan's kids yesterday and we stopped at a garage sale on our way home from the park, since Megan already had a 2-kid stroller in the back of her suburban, the high chair didn't fit that well, so we opened up the back window and had Lynnaea, Kiersten, and Anders(and Anders' awesome teddy bear) hold onto it for the rest of the drive home. They were awesome troopers!!!
-Last week at a garage sale we got a jogging stroller but it had two flat tires, so yesterday we took it in to the Schwinn store and got new tubes put on. YAY!
-Yesterday my sister Megan also gave us her jolly jumper thingy because Devaney doesn't use it anymore--she's too mobile to be happy in one spot--and so we took that as well.
-To top it all off, on Tuesday when we drove down to Provo to see Aleesha's new baby, we stopped at Ikea and got a dresser for Sterling and me, which means my little white dresser (handed down from my nieces Hailey and Cassidy) now can be Ruthie's dresser, and Sterling's dresser (also from Wyatt and Lindsay Ann) was thrown in the garbage because a third drawer had fallen apart on us. So we(ahem, Sterling) set up our new dresser on Saturday morning, and I put all our little baby clothes in Ruthie's little dresser. Now the bassinet is actually empty of clothes so she can sleep in it when she comes!!!
I was telling Danica how we have everything and are ready for the baby to come, except for a few little things. Like diapers, and wipes, and baby wash...and she looks at me and goes "So you have everything but the essentials???" HAAHAA! I still have a baby shower and am crossing my fingers to get those things there. If not, before I have my baby we should have plenty of time.
Yesterday I also jumped on the tramp with the sprinkler underneath with my nieces and nephews...I only lasted a few minutes. It is super tiring to jump with a big pregnant belly!!! Plus, they decided the spray of water was gunfire, and so every time the water crossed the tramp, everyone would jump to "save" Ruthie, only I think it made it much more difficult for me to stand up and not get wet!!! So, I moved to dry ground and played with Devaney on a towel. Then they set the sprinkler to spray the slide, and I took some AWESOME action shots---but its on my sister Megan's camera, so hopefully she posts them for you!
Have a happy Sunday!
