Labor Day

This Labor Day took on a new definition. Every time our nephew prayed for Labor Day, my mind instantly thought, "but it's not labor day... I'm not in labor." Even though our child decided not to make an early appearance this weekend, we still had lots of fun.

Joseph had the day off on Friday so we met up with our realtor and looked at some homes. It was fun but overwhelming at the same time. Later in the day, we went to a high school football team. Joseph works with the young men in our ward and some of them play in the band. We went to support them and watch some good football. The game wasn't quite like D.C. Everest but that's alright. The high schools here have cheerleaders, a dance team, and baton throwing girls so it was very busy with girls running around.

On Saturday, we drove over to Austin and had a blast visiting Joseph's brother and his family. Our nephew is now eight months old and we can't believe how fast he is growing up! We played lots of Dominion (one of my new favorite games) and went swimming and on fun walks. Joseph tried to face his fears of diving off a diving board. It's a work in progress. Let's just say our kids probably won't become professional high divers in the future. We also listened to the BYU game and was disappointed with their loss. Hopefully this week will be better! We play UT-Austin, which is a huge deal here in Texas! I definitely think we'll be a minority cheering for BYU.

Here's our way of cheering for the Cougars!

Pregnancy update: I'm 36 weeks along! One more until I can be considered full-term by my doctor. Our little baby loves moving around, especially when Joseph and I are home together and talking. Doctor said I am measuring small but am growing consistently so there are no concerns with the baby. But I'm hoping that since she's small, that doesn't mean she's going to come late. I won't be surprised if she decides to postpone her arrival until a week after my due date. I had a doctor appointment this morning and she's head down (which I figured) so that is a good thing. Doctor says everything still looks good.

35 weeks. Baby is the size of a honeydew melon in case the sign is too small.

I hate the shirt I'm wearing. I feel like a tent but at least it fits and is comfortable. Baby is the size of a head of romaine lettuce this week, which I think is dumb. She clearly weighs more than that!
