Both mom and baby are doing great! Just a little tired!

39 weeks and counting???

Yes, you've read right.  I'm celebrating my 39th week of pregnancy and STILL counting!! I started having irregular contractions on Thursday after my doctors appointment (in which I was told I was dilated to a 4 or 5 and 80% effaced) that continued into Friday...So I was thinking perhaps I will have the baby this weekend! But no, they continued to be irregular all the way until Monday...and then they stopped!! And here I am...still pregnant. So if all you good people could think good thoughts my way I would LOVE it, and perhaps this baby will be persuaded to come out into this cold and VERY windy place this week!

CARPET!!

This may not be as exciting for anyone else, but I am super stoked about the fact that Casey found some AMAZING carpet for our house and it was installed yesterday! It rocks my world! I love it.  I don't know about the rest of you, but carpet really makes my house a home, it's warm, cozy inviting and nothing is better than being able to walk barefoot in your house and feel squishy carpet under your toes!  With that said, that amazing husband of mine has done so much work on this house and it is looking better and better all the time.  I am so grateful to have married such a handiman! Soon we'll actually start getting our things organized and put away, and then I can get babies room decorated and in order! I'll probably save that for next week though!

Here is a quick update on us though: Casey is loving school, he stays there from about 7:30 to around 4 or 5 everyday studying and going to class, that way when he gets home he doesn't have to worry about school because he's done all he needs to, which is really nice for me!  I am staying busy at our place trying to do whatever I can to help  Casey get it fixed up.  **Hopefully we are on the tail end of major fixes though, because I've got some fall baking that desperately needs to be done! :)  Our no name baby is doing well, I just had a checkup last week and she and I are growing at a good rate (Maybe a little too much growing for me :)  and she is plenty active when I sit down and relax.  Someday I'll post some preggo pictures....and pictures of our house and so on...Someday when internet connectivity is faster!

Thursday Casey and I are taking off back to the West side of the state, I have a baby shower in Evanston on Saturday and Casey is going on a crazy deer hunt/hike/camping trip with his family....they're crazy but they all seem to love it, so more power to them!

I'm also starting to get antsy for fall to hit, though judging by today's weather it feels like it finally has! I'm excited to start building fires in our fireplace and being able to sit and watch it burn while reading a good book! Plus I love going to the park during the fall with all the changing colors! 

Well from us to all of you, hope you're doing well!

On The Move

Just a quick little update on us.  We pulled into Laramie last night after a 9 hour drive from Star Valley! Yes, it was a VERY LONG drive, but we only had 1 flat tire on the way luckily!  I will post some great pictures of the caravan eastward at a later date and time.  For now Casey is busily working on our trailer to get it more live-able than it is presently, and I'm helping where I can when I can.  He will start school on Wed. the 17th and I know he is very excited for that and I'm excited that he is doing something he has wanted to do for quite some time!   Next post I will get some pictures up of what's up in the Frome Home!

Progress

I don't feel like typing much but I thought I'd better do a quick update on life.  Things are good, I'm done with my job and Casey and I are gearing up for our summer trips!  But first, we get to see Les Miserables in Salt Lake on Friday! I'm very excited as I love the music, but have never seen it! I will let you all know how it is!  And then next week we head to Coure D'Alene, ID with Casey's Dad, stepmom and all the siblings and families! Should be fun...then a few days after we get back we head to Lake Powell with Casey brother and family and some friends! Then we need to head to Laramie at some point to find a house, and we will also be headed to Vernal, UT at some point so Casey can build a porch.  Then we head to Flaming Gorge with my family mid July.  Before Flaming Gorge we will also probably move up to Laramie, and then the second week in August we have the Frome family reunion, and then it's off to Law school for Casey! Phew...and there goes our summer! I'm very excited for it all though!


In pregnancy news, I'm now 15 weeks along, and doing SO much better than the first trimester.  I'm still on anti nausea medicine, but the nausea has gotten much better and I'm finally able to start eating more.  I still battle headaches almost everyday, but the intensity seems to be getting better so I'll take that! And my energy levels are coming back! I'm not one of the few that never get over the misery that is the first trimester! I was afraid that I would be! So I'm very grateful I'm not!  I have my next checkup on Tuesday. So far everything looks and sounds good!  Though I do get frustrated with my appetite, I could eat an entire cow and 30 minutes later be hungry again, I'm sure of it....no exaggeration! It's ridiculous, but at least I can satisfy it for a while!  And mowing the lawn by hand wears me right out! You would think I have done hard labor from dawn 'till dusk for the way I feel! Haha, but pregnancy is finally a lot more enjoyable!


Well from everyone here, we hope everyone out there is doing good! Until next time!

New and interesting...well at least new

My dad was giving me grief that I hadn't posted for a while, but to be honest there hasn't been much going on until now so I figured why bore everyone? So I decided to wait until something interesting and/or unexpected happened....maybe I should have just posted about our boring life instead of waiting for something because we got it! We are headed to Laramie end of the summer so Casey can go to law school, which wasn't where I thought we would be headed at all! I thought Laramie was LONG gone, but it seems I was wrong! Though it is a shorter trip to see family than say Mississippi, so I can definitely be grateful for that because....the biggest unexpected of all, seriously I mean it, very unexpected.... We will be adding a mini Frome to our family this fall! So at least family will be close by when our numbers increase! Well, from our house to yours we hope all is well and this is the latest and greatest and I can't promise I will post again in the next little while... But who knows, stranger things have been know to happen!
