34 weeks

I like Sundays because it means that I have made it another week. Another week closer to being done!!! I have been on bed rest for a week now.... and it goes a little something like this: Wake up, eat breakfast, sit on the couch, read a book, watch TV for a bit, *highlight of my day* get up and take a shower, get on the computer for a bit, lunch........ and repeat. All day long. Add to that can't pick up your ailing child who just fell and hurt herself. Can't pick up your child period. Can't do your laundry, can't make your bed, can't vacuum. I'm not complaining.. just stating the facts, and sometimes you gotta do stuff like state the facts when all you can do is sit. Keep your mind goin. Know what I mean??

Anyways... so I have a confession to make and its one of those things that you wanna remember about being pregnant so I gotta write it down. Lucky you, you get to read all about it. I have the craving to...... are you ready for this??......... smell shoes!!!!!!!!!!! Have you ever heard of such a thing?!? I remember reading when I was pregnant with Madelynn that some women crave strange things, like eating chalk... and I'm wondering if smelling shoes was on the list. Its the most absurd thing I have ever felt in my life. I could seriously sit in a closet and smell shoes all day long. I'm terribly sorry you had to hear about this... and I hope I haven't lost everyone.

I packed up my camera battery charger and my battery has officially died, so I guess I won't have pictured to post. I did order one on Ebay so whenever that gets here, I'll be able to post pics!

and a Nat update for the post. He made it to New Mexico yesterday and is still having a great time. The guy that is training him for these first couple of days invited him to go to church with him and Nat really, really enjoyed it. Seems like a pretty neat church. Today is his first day that he'll actually be doing hands on work with all that he is learning. I can tell that it is going to take a bit for me to fully understand this job. Its pretty much all computer stuff... and if you knew Nat you might be laughing right now. lol. :) No, its definitely stuff that he will learn and become a genius about. He may be a goofball when it comes to computers, but on top of being a goof ball, he is the fastest learning, best at what he does kinda guy so I know that he is going to do awesome!!! I can already tell that he has learned so much. The job itself is an amazing one. Nat has never had a job that offered anything, so for him to move to a job where we'll all get full benefits.. plus sooooo many other perks is pretty awesome and such an answered prayer!! Its like all the worries are wiped away. I know that that is a burden lifted off of him for sure. Not to mention he will be making over double than what he has made in the 3 years we have been married. Its not even about the money either, but that is just another plus. Keep praying for him! I think that now that he is on is own and away from his friends that he was with in CO, he is a little lonelier and missing us a little more. One more week and we'll get to see him!! I can't wait!!!!
