Here I am at 32 weeks pregnant! Yeah, I am so glad that I am almost done!!! Things are going just fine, I am just getting anxious to meet our little boy. (please don't mind the lovely slicked back hair in all my pictures--I don't like to get ready for work, I would rather sleep!!)
Well I thought I would give you an update about my jury duty fun since I was complaining about it earlier. I didn't have to report until Thursday to the court house, but lucky me I was selected to be on a jury!!! Can you believe it, I don't know how it happened. I tried to get out of it, but to no avail I am Juror #4. So they began the trial on Thursday afternoon and on Friday we were in court all day, and they are projecting another 5-7 days, not including deliberation!!!!! When the attorneys accepted the jury I think I almost started to cry. So it is going to be a very long week! I have the worst luck.
That is right you heard me. I (Lindy) got summoned for jury duty. I can't believe it, after living in Utah for years I never got called, and then we move to California and not even a few months go by and I get called. I don't mind doing my "civic duty" but being pregnant and all, come on people!!! I just hope that they have a snack table or else someone is going to pay!!! (Just kidding!)
In an effort to still feel like my days are still productive, since graduating college and no longer working as much, my sister Hillary taught me how to knit a really cute baby blanket. The pictures do not do them justice, they are so cute as well as super comfy. Every time I had my knitting out Ryan or our nieces would cuddle up with them or rub the half-made blanket on their face. I first made a cream one because we didn't know what we were having then. But as soon as we found out that we were having a boy I had to make a blue one. (I have to apologize for the pictures they aren't very good in displaying my project. I guess you will just have to come see Seth and I to get a good look at them!!! When he comes that is...) I then decided to make burp rags out of cloth diapers with really cute ribbon that I found in the dollar bin at Michael's. I know, I know the baby just spits up on them, but why not make a less desirable part of having a baby fun?!?! And plus most of the time you are wearing them on your shoulder, so why not accessorize?? I know Ryan thinks I am crazy too!!! (But remember I am trying to feel productive, while Ryan is at school all day and studying all the time.)
I have been getting a lot of slack from family members that I haven't taken a picture of my growing belly in a long time. (The last one was when I was 16 weeks). So here is a picture, but I am warning you they are not very attractive pictures of myself, I can't believe I am posting them but here they are. I had these pictures taken about two weeks ago, and it is surprising to see how quickly I am growing. (plus I look a little bit more presentable in them) Things are going really well for Seth and I. I finally am feeling better (it took about until 20 weeks for the "morning" sickness to go away). But now things are going really well. He likes to tap dance on my bladder all day long (that's at least what It feels like. I probably should say he is doing some thing more masculine huh?) But I am starting to get really anxious to meet him, and I hope this last trimester goes quickly (fat chance I know..) Anyways gotta run to work, hope you all are doing well. See ya!!!
The day after we got back from Catalina, Ryan and his Dad, along with really good family friends the Hathaway's, went on an overnight fishing trip down into Mexico. The boat left San Diego about 10 pm at night and drove about 70 miles into the middle of the ocean while everyone was sleeping. Then they woke up the next morning and fished the entire time back. Ryan ended up catching a 35-40 pound Tuna, and his dad caught a 15-18 pound Dorado. Ryan actually ended up catching the biggest fish on the boat and won a pool of cash that everyone put together. Good Job Ryan!!
This past two weeks Ryan was on his two week break from school. On August 18-19 we took a little get-a-way trip to Catalina. We wanted to go have some fun while Ryan was out of school, celebrate our Anniversary, and have a get-a-way together before Seth arrives (Because Ryan's next break we will have a new baby!) It was the most fun I have had in a long time. I wish we could go back.....
On the first day we took an early boat out of Newport beach to the Island. When we got to the island we just walked around looked at the beautiful scenery and looked in the cute little shops, ate lunch and just relaxed. I was so amazed at how blue the water was over there! Later on we went on a semi-submersible submarine underwater sea tour. It was really cool to see all the fancy fish. That night we ate dinner by the water, and just enjoyed being together. I love you Ryan.
The next day we woke up and went to all the little beach spots in Avalon. The water was very cold to me, but I made myself go swimming a couple of times. It was just a really fun day hanging out with Ryan. I really enjoyed spending so much time with Ryan, I never wanted it to end. But it was really fun and I recommend taking a trip over there if you haven't.
