We were officially party poopers for the 4th. Phil and I got up at 6:30 to cook 8 dozen scrambled eggs for the Ward Party. We had a great time visiting and eating a good breakfast. When we got home we decided to tackle the mowing and yard work that still needed to be finished from last weekend. That required we take a drive to Home Depot to get a boarder for our new tree. Among other things we left with our boarder, a new trowel (they break like crazy), two tomato plants (yes, I am very late this year), two tomato cages, and three of our very favorite perennials. We have been wanted to plant red pokers and decorative grass for quite some time, the cost has been very prohibitive though. Yesterday the HD had a great sale so we splurged. When we got home Phil tackled the backyard mowing and weed eating and I, as funny as it probably looked, took to planting our new perennials and tomatoes. Once we had finished we worked together to get the edging/boarder put around the new tree. When all our yard stuff was finally complete we came in and had lunch while watching a movie and just relaxing.
Our usual tradition of spending the afternoon with Phil's family at the West Jordan Park with all it's festivities was forgone as I didn't really feel like sitting in a park in the hot weather with a huge line for the bathroom! Dangerous for someone 9 months pregnant. Sorry family, we missed you! We did end up seeing the Transformer movie, it had readily available bathrooms and air conditioning. After that we came home and watched TV for about 30 minuted before deciding that at 10:15 on the 4th of July we were both ready for a good night's sleep.
Are we old or what?
The sad part is that I LOVE fireworks, and with our little man's due date approaching, we probably won't be involved in the 24th fireworks either. SAD.
Here it is Mom! I got your message and figured I better take advantage of the only time I will want to show how big I have gotten to the world. The Dr. said all is well today. My blood pressure was excellent, I guess school was the stress, and I have dilated more and am 80% effaced. My non-stress test showed a lot of contractions, that I have been feeling, and they said that is also a great sign. If I make it until next Wednesday, the 22, my due date, we will schedule something for the following week as Dr. doesn't want this little guy too big. After all, I don't feel too bad about an induction as I for sure know when the due date is because of the nature of becoming pregnant. We know exactly, down to the minute, when he was fertilized and implanted (something not too many people can say). As a matter of fact we even have a picture of him three days fertilized!!! Perfect for his baby book.

This is how I feel. Of course it is not real because I am not that blond, my feet are way to swollen to wear anything that ties, and more importantly the only reason I would run like that was if someone said there were free donuts. Even then I would pee my pants and have to stop before I slipped or laughed my head off.
