Spring Break

If you have ever lived in Utah, you know the weather here can be a bit unpredictable. Last week I was home on spring break but only the first day felt very spring break. That day Miss M and I took advantage of the sun and hit the park. It was a little chilly so we didn't stay long but she had a blast.

Two days later, we played outside in this:

She hated playing in the snow during the winter but LOVED it this time. She refused to wear her gloves but her poor fingers were ice pops. Every time I asked "Should we go inside?" she told me know. When I finally picked her up and took her inside, she threw a fit. Silly girl, why didn't you like the snow when it was snowy all the time? Mud liked it too. M really liked watching him run around in the snow.

Pregnancy Update-- 31 weeks!

Can you believe it? The end is in sight!
Which is a good thing and a bad thing.

Good thing:
A baby!
Not being pregnant anymore
That means summer is here!

Bad thing:
GRE test before baby is born (EEEEEEEEKK!)
Not ready

I really haven't felt like there was much to get ready this time around because we already have everything we need. But I went shopping with my mom today (looking for a dress for my SIL's wedding) and when she asked if I had newborn onesies, I had no idea! (Turns out I had exactly 5.) I guess there are a few things I need to do to prepare. I have been feeling a little bit of the nesting bug lately, which is good for organizing but doesn't help me want to clean my house at all.

I know this picture is super corny but this is the best looking belly out of all of the pictures we took the other day. Turns out my belly is in a kinda funny-shaped phase at the moment. Not so flattering.

Also, I was told yesterday it "looks like I ate a watermelon seed." Can I ask, is this not super rude?
I know there are some very well meaning people who think they are being funny when they make these types of remarks. And if you are one of them, I'm sorry to break it to you- it's rude. It's rude to tell a pregnant woman she looks like she has a basketball under her shirt (remember that gem, Kate?)
I can understand just a teeny bit more when it's a man who says it (as in the first remark) because he's never been pregnant and dealt with the body issues that come with growing a human being inside of you. But when a woman says it? Even if this woman has never been pregnant, she should know that it's really hurtful to the ol' self esteem to have someone tell you you look huge. Just saying.
There's my preggo rant for the week. Sorry if I lost some readers. When I complained about this to my hubby last night he said he would add the above phrases to his repertoire. Nice.
