26

Yesterday was marked 26 weeks, and here is a picture of my belly today:




And, just for my nephew, here is a picture of my face to prove that I am, in fact, still in possession of my head:

It's a pretty terrible picture, but hey, whatever.

Weather report

I was just watching the news and the weatherman said something that made me laugh derisively. (It's not nice to be derisive. I should work on that.)

Direct quote: "Can't you just feel the humidity??"

Umm...

From the way he said it, I could tell he thought there was a LOT of humidity in the air.

There isn't.

A bit, but not much. Not enough to really mean much of anything.

Especially to this girl who grew up in the South. It is SO DRY here, I have to put on lotion constantly and my skin is still shriveled.

I looked it up. The following are the actual current humidity percentages for various cities of interest:

Salt Lake -- 17% (hahahahahahaha. This is where he was reporting from.)
Provo -- 34%
My hometown -- 53%
Steven's hometown -- 64%

None of these are too extremely high, either.

But I'd say 17% is pretty much nothing. So is 34%.

I just can't stop laughing.

As promised

This is last Tuesday at 24 weeks. (Sorry about the blurriness.)



The second is last night at 25 weeks 2 days. (Sorry the color is weird, my shirt is apparently reflective.)

Apparently I'm bad at taking pictures :)

Still here

My apologies. Time got away from me.

Again.

The last few weeks have been pretty with school and other things, like starting to attempt to get ready for a baby.

Spring term is about half over. This is very very happy. It's kind of depressing to think that I could have been done a long time ago if I'd been in the right major to begin with, so I try not to think about it :) At least I'm going to finish my degree! I've only got a couple of classes left...

Husband is definitely going back to school in the fall. He's excited, but I know he's nervous too. It's been a few years since he took any classes. But I know he'll be just fine.

I'm alone right now because Husband got called in to do a flood this evening. He's been on call all week and tonight is his last night, and of course he got a call tonight. He's not too happy about it, and I can't blame him.

Little Man is still growing and getting stronger. He's gotten up in my ribs a couple of times this week, ouch! He also really likes my right side for some reason. I think he's lying sideways with his head on my left because occasionally I'll feel movement over there and on my right at the same time. I could be wrong, though. I just hope that eventually (and there's plenty of time) he'll decide to get in the normal position on his own.

I've got a picture from last week (Tuesday the 12th when I hit 24 weeks) that I have been intending to post, but I couldn't find the cord that connects the camera to the computer. After lots of searching and nearly giving up, I finally found it tonight in a place that I'd looked several times. I even took another picture of tonight as a peace offering for not posting in 3 weeks. But then, of course, as I tried to transfer the pictures onto the computer, the camera battery decided to die. It's charging now, so I'll post those pictures later tonight.

I can't think of anything else to say. Life goes on as usual. I'll try to get back into posting every few days.
