Life Update

I am just constantly amazed at how God is ever working in our lives. We are continuously having great and wonderful things happening here (no not all of it has been easy with the stress of figuring out $, jobs, life, but we definitely are blessed!) The company Andy was doing landscaping for was just not getting the amount of jobs they where used to and had to let him go, but amazingly that opened up the opportunity for him to get his dream job. He now works at his favorite fly fishing shop getting to talk about fishing and music all day and tie flies for them at night. He is loving life! We also believe we finally found a place to rent down here which we will be able to move into in August! 

I am now at 27 weeks- one week away from being in my 3rd trimester and about 13 weeks away from baby being born!!! This is my belly on May 5th- Andy thought it would be fun to decorate it. I can not believe how big it is there and how much it has grown since! Our little guy is moving around A TON now practicing all his sweet dance/skateboarding/ninja moves. He is definitely going to have skills! As great as his growing is it has been killing my back. It was getting so bad I could not walk, but a visit to my local massage therapist, who is AMAZING, helped and my back is finally much better- I am not is so much pain! Now if I could just get him to not live on the right side of my stomach and move more towards the center :) 

This weekend we where SO excited to have some of our good friends come down to visit!!!! Alli and Dane stayed with us the whole time while Jason and Mark stopped in for an overnight visit. It was the best thing getting to see our friends from Denver and, of course with them, we had non stop fun and laughs! We spent the weekend doing a lot of cooking, bouldering, exploring Durango's fine garage sales and thrift stores, and just catching up and goofing around.  Above they are showing off some really nice poses/ tattoos. Bellow it is a picture of me and the guys. They where trying to look pregnant also- they failed :) 

Andy and I are excited to be learning more and more about sustainable living/gardening/etc.

We spent today planting stuff outside and getting our Peet Pots ready for planting- we are behind timing wise, but non the less excited to see what happens. 

Overall, it has been a great few weeks! 

MOTHERS DAY @ 24 WEEKS!

Today was my very first Mother's Day and I loved getting to celebrate my pregnancy and our little one! We started of the day going to church and out to eat w/my parents...

afterwards we drove up La Plata Canyon and got to hike around and enjoy how beautiful it is!

Andy and I spent the rest of the day enjoying how beautiful it has been outside and loving the chance to just relax and play with my parents dogs!

We are now at 24 weeks! I can't believe that I only have about 16 weeks till He is born!

Update: for you that don't yet know, Andy and I have finally found a midwife here! That means we are getting to have a home birth!!! To say the least we are relieved and extremely excited!
