Nephi!!!

My poor husband. This has been him last week and will be him this upcoming week...

finals week woo-hoo!

He's done Thursday, then he's mine for 3 months.

I got like 900 direct blows to the bladder during church today, a day when the primary kids were especially strung out on SOMETHING! I taught today, the lesson was on Nephi and how he obeyed Heavenly Father when asked to build the ship blah blah blah. 

Waaaasn't sure they absorbed anything into their little 4-7-year-old brains.

THEN....in sharing time, the question was posed "Who was asked to build a ship when he had no idea how to it?" (really totally unrelated to sharing time, just a random example she used)

Like 5 of my kids all yelled "Nephi!!"

Awwww tender guys, right?!?!

Is this what it's like to be a mommy?!

He feels really weird in there. It's like he hangs out as far outward as possible, just gliding his knees/feet/head/elbows/hands slowly across my belly, or he'll just dig something outward and there'll be this huge lump on one side of my belly poking out and he'll leave it there for a while.

Oh and he hiccups ALL THE TIME. Kinda annoying at times, not gonna lie.

So I've been super stoked this whole time (OK, after the first trimester) for it to turn into the three of us.

The other night Steve and I were taking a walk and I was reminiscing over the last few years of it being just the two of us and it just hit me really hard that it will never be just us again! This immense wave of heartbreak came over me and I just felt crushed, like I was losing my best friend! I kinda started crying a little because wait a minute, I just want it to be Steve and me, no one else! 

The next day I was fine of course, I just have no idea what to expect with this kid coming....whew 9 weeks until I'm due! Crazy! 

Comforting to know that Steve and I are always expected and commanded and have the natural desire to put each other and our relationship first before that of our children. I know he'll always be there :)

Called it....Mavs v. Thunder series starts Tuesday. We're taking it, then it'll be Mavs v. Heat in the finals.
