Finally!

When you start getting text messages from friends and family that your blog is boring and needs an update you know it's time to write something down! Sadly, we just haven't had a whole lot going on in our lives. Trent's still working hard and keeping busy. He's loving the cooler weather so he can go mountain biking more often. And oh yes how can I forget...You all remember his lovely post about his nasty wart right? Well that little friend of his just can't move on and let my poor husband live his life cause that sucker is coming back! That's right folks! I swear I don't know what else we could possibly try to get it to go away. You'd for sure think that SURGERY would do the trick but I guess we all underestimated "The Thing". He's a very persistent little booger. So Trent has another appt with the Dr. who performed the surgery next week as well as an appt with a dermatologist just for good measure. Poor Trent, I feel so bad for him.
I've been feeling pretty good for the most part. I've decided that being short and pregnant isn't the best combination. But I'm grateful my body is able to do what it needs to do to make a nice little home for Luke while he grows. However if he could find a better place to hang out other than my ribs that would be awesome! Seriously he hangs out there all the time! I feel like I have bruises on my ribs from him. He's definitely getting bigger! And so am I. I'll try to get another picture up for all of you soon. I keep forgetting to ask Trent to take one for me. My feet have been getting nice and big as well. In a week they just decided it was time to catch up with the rest of my body I guess cause they have become so swollen! And painful. I wasn't expecting that. Trent and my brothers have fun squishing them though. I'm glad they are enjoying them.



We've also finally started getting our house ready for Luke. We've been putting it off because we weren't sure if we were actually going to be living here when he came. In fact we were counting on it! Who knew buying a house would be so stinkin' difficult! That saga is a whole post on its own! Anyway I started to get this panicked feeling that I needed to get my house ready for him. I still have 6 weeks till he comes but I still felt this uncontrollable urge to start preparing. So my wonderful husband spent his whole weekend moving furniture around, rerouting our computer so we could put our desk in the dining room and cleaning out the old office so we could get things ready. We're getting his crib this weekend and I already feel so much better. Thank you sweetie!

Speaking of Trent, I just have to say that I am so blessed to have him. He is taking such good care of me and I love him so much. I've been kinda useless lately because when I get home the first thing I want to do is put my feet up and get those puppies to go down a little. He's been so good to get things for me, rub my nasty feet and to just sit with me. I love him so much!! He's going to be the best daddy!

Anyway that's about it for us right now. I'll try to update this more regularly. Oh yeah! We have two new nephews! Both Trent's older brothers and their wives have had their babies. Dale Justin came first followed by Xander Jeffery. Lucas Lucien is next! We can't wait :)

Boy I don't miss the feet. At least you only have 6 weeks left, right? When my feet were that bad I tried sleeping with two pillows under my lower legs to reduce the swelling in my feet. They would go down but within two hours of being up in the morning it all came back. It stinks!

Samantha Phillips said...

You poor thing!!! You're feet look so painful! :(

Kelsey said...

Snap Lindz!! Those things are massive, Im so glad my feet don't swell up like that! Can't wait to take your maternity pictures for you, even if you feel huge you look absolutely adorable! Can't wait to meet him!!!

holy feet... they are almost as big as mine, and I am not even pregnant!

Oh Lindsay the last month is so rough, I'm so sorry! I would soak my feet in some icy water for as long as I could then put them up and seemed to help with the swelling and the pain, might be worth a shot for ya! And I totally agree, being short with a big belly is awful, the baby is either kicking the ribs or the pubic bone! Can't wait to see pictures of you and baby Luke's room! Hang in there! Ü

Jenessa said...

You look like I did with Tanner!!! I remember how uncomfortable that was and the ribs thing is also just the same. It feels like he is using them as monkey bars. But in the end it is all worth the swollen feet and aching ribs. Hang in there we can't wait to meet him!!

Ugh, I'm still traumatized from when my feet looked like that with Clara. Which is why I took pictures the day after she was born of my ankles. I was so pleased to see the swelling go away ASAP.

Mandy Coffey said...

HOLY CRAP LINDZ your feet are huge! I'm glad you've got a positive out look though! lol

I have a picture of my feet that looks just like that!! I remember being in so much pain when I would get up in the morning & try to stand up...don't worry tho, they do eventually return to normal. :)

You can actually see Trent's toe hair in the picture of your indented feet!
That wart sucks but I am glad it is just a wart and not something more dangerous.
