Has it really Been 2 weeks??

This is definitely the longest that I have gone without a new post in awhile and I am sorry for the delay. A few different things have kept us from posting, the biggest was 8 day trip Thomas and I took to Boise while Nolan went on a week long business trip through Washington and Oregon. Of course we forgot the camera, but we had a lot of fun seeing 2 of my brothers, and 2 of my sisters. I got my hair cut, we went boating, swimming, a little shopping, and played the XBOX rock band. That game is quite addictive, we just couldn't put the drumsticks/guitars/or microphone down. Thomas took a while to warm up to all the new people, but by the end of the week, was loving Grandpa's house. The worst part was strep throat ran rampid through the house. My brother and sister got it, and Thomas was not his usually self at all, so I took him in, and sure enough it was strep throat. I though, "Hey just for the heck of it, why not get tested also," and sure enough I had strep throat. At least we won't be bringing it back to Walla Walla with us. He was also getting his 2 year molars for most of the trip, so my family saw a lot of tantrums, but only one car seat throwing up incident, so for the most part he was good.

Nolan had a blast on his business trip. It would have been a lot of fun to go with him I think. They toured a few different rain forests and natural parks. He also caught a huge Kite Convention in Long Beach Oregon, they had kite fights, and synchronized kite flying. He said it was really fun to watch by the ocean.


Another delay has been our recent purchase of the Nintendo Wii. A slurr of Mormon cuss words can be heard from our apartment as we duke it out in the boxing rink and have some intense rounds of golf. We also got the Wii fit and are enjoying it.



Of course there is the delay of getting stuff ready for the pregnancy. We're getting really anxious to meet this little girl, and I have another doctors appointment on Monday where I will be 37 weeks! Wahoo! I got an email telling me I am now considered full-term however, going off of my pregnancy with Thomas, full-term for me is more like 42 weeks, so I have a while to go!

Yes it really has been two weeks and I sure have missed the updates. That is too bad you forgot your camera but I'm glad you had fun there. I'm so sorry about the strep throat, that's horrible. Are you all feeling better now? Glen and I are jealous that you bought a wii, how fun. I can't believe that you are due so soon. I'm getting so excited to see your litte girl. You never know, it could happen anytime. Going early would be awesome. Talk to you soon. love ya

Everytime I see you pregnant side shots, they make me laugh, because it really just looks like you're jokin' around, and if you are Ash, you've taken it too far.

I've been waiting for a post from you! Glad you got to go spend time with your family -- I know you needed it. Too bad you and Thomas got sick though. You look way pretty. I am so happy you'll have your little girl soon -- any name yet?

Braydan and Jessica said...

Glad to hear you're alive over there!! I was starting to worry. You look so cute, like you stuffed a balloon up your shirt cause the rest of you is skiny, skiny. That's fun you were in Boise so long. Hope you're all feeing better now. Does NOlan have to go on lots of buisiness trips? Do you have any girl name ideas you're not using?? I'm really struggling!! I had a boy name all planned, but now I got nothing!

wow you are really getting close to having that little one. Super exciting and SCARY!!! Trips are always soooooooo hard on kids, but expecially when there sick AND getting teeth, thats horrible!!! Thats why we usually just like to avoid them all together... Well you are looking super cute, and just all belly!!!

Jake and Krista said...

Fun trip! Kids sick are the worst!and especially when you get it too! Glad your back....we need to get together!

Tayna said...

You are so cute Ashley! I can't believe you are so close. You never know when it will happen, but it's better to plan late than early! I'm glad you got over strep. Doesn't sound like you got it too bad. Strep is nasty! I knew it wouldn't be long before you got a wii. How's wii fit? I'm wondering if it would help me exercise. Good luck at the Dr!!!

Brittany said...

You look so good, Ash! I can't believe you are still so little. I'm looking forward to hearing how everything goes this time!! So excited for you guys!

Mindy said...

You'll have to tell me if the Wii fit helps you get back into pre-pregnancy shape. Your getting close and I'm jealous. I just love that cute round basketball belly of yours!

RaeAnn said...

You are looking great! Bummer about the strep. I love the Wii! Good luck with the upcoming arrival of your little one!

Jenny Lee said...

Ashley - your're awesome. That's cool you got a Wii. You'll have to let me know how the Wii Fit goes, if it's worth buying? You look so great. Are you feeling well now?

If you thought this was good try one of these...
