Dive In

Swim class ended.  I'm glad it was only two weeks.  Each lesson exhausted me and him.  Then i don't think my swimsuit would be able to cover the growing belly for much longer.  He finished it, but he didn't graduate.  Since he refused to float on his back, or blow bubbles...and a few more skills, he didn't get recommended to the next level.  But he at least likes playing in the water, just not getting that hair wet.

How we both felt after each lesson

Hello third trimester!  And hello all the comfortableness of it too.  With an April baby, having a built in heater was awesome during the winter.  It's already May, and I am warm/hot.  It will be a LONG summer until August.

I just got a new calling.  It's now the First Counselor in the YW, instead of just an advisor.  It's a different change, but I don't have to teach the lessons as often.  WOOT!  That was such a struggle, but my adviser is excited to try our group.  But I do have to plan, and do a few more other things.  So it kind of evens out.

We checked out our first house.  It was one listed and had only a one week window for the bids, so we thought we'd go check it out.  It was not awesome.  Partly because it was a HUD home, and was beat up and then there were other things I just didn't like.  But it was a good house to just look and get a feel for things.  One day we'll find our house, but it wasn't that one.

Mother's day was great.  Dexter slept until his normal time.  This was a gift because for 2 weeks he thought waking up 1.5 hours earlier would be awesome.  Then Kyle cooked me breakfast...for dinner.  He needs to do that more often because we didn't end up with burned pancakes and the eggs were just right, unlike my way of making it.  Kyle even surprised me by getting me a gift.  We had said that my maternity swimwuit would be it, but he thought to get me something else.  It was a complete surprise.  So yep, a simple but great day.

Dex and I enjoy our time together.  He wears me out, and so does pregnancy.  But everyday he says new stuff, enjoys new things, and is a sweet little guy.  Like today I had just laid down for a nap when he woke up from his.  So I asked him if I could take a short nap, and he could play quietly with his cars.  And guess what?  He did!  I was so thankful and happy with him.  He understands so much more than I think sometimes.

Asked for me to take a picture...this is what i got
