I'm officially 30 weeks along in my pregnancy and I'm feeling it. Things are moving along very well but I am getting more and more uncomfortable everyday. I complain about something at least 100 times a day. Joaquin is out of town right now and I have my cousin staying with me while he's gone and normally it would be him hearing my sob stories about all my aches and pains but for right now, it's her. I'm sure Joaquin is happy to hand that duty over to her for 10 days while he's gone hunting. I've had a busy few days...I had my first baby shower which was SO nice. My friend Heidi Leib along with Jen Cook and Emily Gerber threw it for me. There were a lot of people who showed up. I was really grateful for everything everyone did for me. I always feel a little strange being the "person of the hour" at parties and I was honestly a little nervous but again, everyone was so wonderful and I felt really loved by everyone. I had people from our ward come along with people from my work. I have so much support all around me here in Utah. Another fun thing I had happen this week was my ultra sound. The boys are getting big. They figure they are a little over 3 lbs each right now. WOW! That is really good news. They say they are right on track for twins. It was so good to hear that. I haven't been too worried but it's always nice to be reassured.

Like I said, I have my cousin staying with me....Serena who is an amazing photographer. While she is here, she decided to take some maternity pictures of me. Now like I said earlier, I sure hate being the center of attention in my older days and these pictures, although are being taken of me because of the boys, I'm still the only one in the pictures at this time so I felt a little funny taking them but she does such a good job and takes so many pictures that I had a lot to choose from. I will post them online as soon as she gets them to me...or I'm sure she'll have them on her blog in a couple of days for people to view. If you want to view them, go to this website: http://www.simplyserenityphotography.blogspot.com/ It will be a few days before she gets those online. (Oh and by the way, my sister in law Sindy does photography as well and she will be taking more pictures of me....I will get those online after she gets here too.)

Next on my agenda this week is more family coming into town. My Mom and sisters are all coming to visit Utah for my Family/Good O'friends shower. That will be this upcoming Saturday and I'm SOOOO excited for that shower. I can't wait to see family and friends. I'm surrounded by such wonderful and amazing people who I love so much. I don't even care about the shower, I'm just excited to get together to eat, share memories and laugh. Keep checking back to see my updates of the shower and pictures. It might take a few days, as we still don't have a camera. :(

I'm so excited for you! I didn't even know you were pregnant. It may seem difficult at times but it is sooooo worth it.
