Where Does The Time Go?

Is it just me or is time flying by lately? I guess summer usually does that, unfortunately. In a way I guess it's good that time is not dragging by now that I'm this close to having a baby, but part of me isn't ready yet so it's freaking me out a little. So far everything is continuing to go well with the pregnancy. I'm definitely starting to get more uncomfortable but it hasn't become intolerable yet. I seriously am getting bigger every day though. I noticed yesterday that if I'm standing straight at the sink I have a hard time reaching the handles to turn the water on. I have to turn sideways so my belly doesn't make me so far away. Preston used to mock me and say that when I attempt to roll over in bed at night, it's like I have to make a 4 point turn. The last week or two it's become more of a 6 point turn. Preston has to help me out of the couch. A couple of weeks ago I could still go outside and pull weeds but not so much anymore. I have completely lost my appetite (so sad, since we all know how much I love food) and I NEVER feel like cooking anymore. Poor Preston. Anyways, here are some recent pictures, then I will stop complaining and move on to other things. Oh and P.S. thank you so much to all of you who commented on my last post. It honestly was a huge help and gave me a lot of good information!

So this was me only 3 weeks ago at 30 Weeks:

The next two are pics of me just yesterday at 33 weeks. I am so much bigger! If I keep growing at this rate I'm not going to be able to move by the time I hit 40 weeks!

I'm getting more and more nervous that I'm going to have a ginormous baby. (I was a pretty big baby myself so my fears are legitimate). I guess we will see soon!

So onto other things that probably aren't very exciting to anyone but us...Preston's cute little brother, Holton, got baptized last weekend and asked Preston to confirm him, so we took a little trip up to Rexburg for the baptism. It was fun to get away from Provo, even if just for a couple of days, and it was good to see his family. Holton is a hilarious kid so we always enjoy spending time with him. Here are some pics from that trip.




So when Preston and I first got married we traveled all the time. Literally it averaged out to like one trip a month. I think even now, having been married for just over 2 years, we have been on like 20 trips together. I love it. Sadly, the last year has been much busier than usual, and especially with the pregnancy and me losing my job, we just haven't had a chance to do any cool stuff. I wanted so badly to have one last little getaway with just Preston before this baby comes but it just wasn't going to happen. Sometimes I get so itchy to get out of Provo for a bit. Can you blame me? Anyways, Preston knew I was bummed about this so on our way home from Rexburg we stopped and stayed the night at a B&B in Lava Hot Springs so we could have one more night away from Provo and spend a little time together with no responsibilities or projects, etc. We didn't do anything grand or exciting but it was so nice to just be able to talk and relax and be somewhere else. I honestly had such a great time with him. Bless my wonderful husband! I love him so much. ( I just realized we didn't take a single picture of our getaway. Sad.)

Okay, so I have just one more thing. Preston and I have been terrible at trying to come up with a name for this baby. Boy names are hard for some reason! We really want something that is unique enough that he won't have the same name as half the kids in his class, but not so unique that he gets made fun of for the rest of his life. There have been names that I have liked but none that I have totally loved. Anyways, there are 2 names that we have been considering but we can't seem to agree on how we would spell them. I would like some opinions on that. Here are the 2 names and their various spellings:

a. Brayden
b. Braydon
c. Braeden
d. Braedon
e. Braden
(also, is this name more popular than I realize? I keep hearing it more and more.)

a. Trevin
b. Treven
c. Trevon
d. Trevan

Anyways, I'd love to hear your thoughts. And if any of you have any other grand ideas for unique but still cool baby boy names, I'd love to hear those too!

I love Trevon! You are so cute in your pictures, I wish I was there with you:) miss and love you

I think Brayden is too popular right now...so if you went that route...probably half his class will have that name. I like Trevin.

Only a few more weeks... how exciting! I like Trevon, Trevan or Braden. Cute names:)

Kyle and Serene Hardy said...

Oh my gosh...that baby has seriously dropped a ton between the 33 week and most recent picture! Anytime?!? I love Trevan(that spelling) because it is different and goes really well with your last name.

P.S.Sorry I didn't make it to your shower. Brigham would not have been very pleasant...

Love the names! :)
Jeremiah has a cousin named Brayden and I have a cousin who's son is named Treven. Both SUPER cute names. If you are looking for more unique, I haven't heard as many Treven's (or however you'd like to spell it!)
