4 Months Pregnant

Yep this week I am officially 18 weeks along/ 4 months! The weird thing is that my belly just popped right out this week too. I looked totally normal last week, then BAM this week I popped right out and my pants don't even fit.

We will find out in a week or two what the gender is. Make a guess. Yea I can't wait. Kent thinks it is a boy for sure. I think every dad thinks their unborn baby will be a boy though. I am still back and forth. We shall see....

Beach Bums

We headed out to California at the end of the summer before Kent started up school again to visit my folks and and the beach. It was fun, though a abnormally chile day at the beach.

Kent and I went boogy boarding and even tryed out skim boarding but couldn't get the thing to work for us, even though all the kids around us were skim boarding like pros.
My parents got in the water with us for a little while but ended up changing back into their normal clothes and reading the rest of the day. I remided my dad that your not supposed to wear long pants and socks to the beach. He said he didn't want to blind everybody with his white legs. They are fun. My dad played some frisbee with us. It was a good trip to California.

Beware of the Scorpions

The past few days we have found two different scorpions in our apt. One on the door frame; I screamed and Kent Killed it with the end of a broom stick. And the other on the shower curtain this morning; I am glad Kent took his shower first. All I can say is this is getting kinda scary.

Cinnamon Roll Night

This last weekend, we went over to one of our friends homes for dinner. As part of this, they asked us to bring a dessert. Sometime in the previous week we had eaten a yummy cinnamon roll, but there was only one so we decided to make more. These are pictures of our cinnamon roll making endeavors. They turned out really good, though they made for a really messy kitchen.

The Heart Beat

Kent and I went to our ob appointment last week and the most exciting thing ever happened. The doctor put the doppler up to my lower abdomen and there it was....a quick little heart beat, beating 162 beats per minute. It was so amazing!!! Wow, now it doesn't seem like I am making the whole thing up anymore.

The unknown rule of pregnancy

So, I guess there is a rule out there...I have never heard of this rule before, but everybody else obviously knows about this rule except me...that you aren't supposed to do flips off the diving board when you are pregnant.

After doing a flip off the diving board the other day and huring my upper back/neck a little, I have been kindly informed about this rule by many people.

They ask how I hurt my back and I say, "I did a flip off the diving board." And every time I get the same look or expression of disbelief and horror. Then they say, "I can't believe it, you should know you aren't supposed to do flips off the diving board when you are pregnant."

I really did not know this rule. I am not even showing yet either.

Anyway, to inform any other unknowing people out there: There is a rule that you are not suppossed to do flips off the diving board when you are pregnant.

You know you live in Arizona when...

1) everyone in your neighborhood has rocks in their front yard instead of grass and cactus' instead of trees.

2) the coldest glass of water you can get out of the faucet is the temperature of bath water.

3)you put a pair of gloves on whenever you get into your car so the steering wheel does not burn your hands.

4) it is still 100 degrees outside in the middle of the night.

5) you think going swimming will cool you down but the pool water is even hot.
