It's baby time...

While the nursery is not done, it's getting there, which is making me feel so much better.  Even though 60% of first time babies are late there is always that little voice in the back of your mind saying "what if she's early?"  We just ordered the carseat, which is the only thing you have to have in order to legally leave the hospital with them, so I hope it gets here in time.  I still have a good month left but I still worry.  Dr Benham is hopeful that she may be early because my uterus has been very active and she's head down ready to go...but, that still doesn't mean anything absolute.  We'll see.  I hate waiting games.  I really shouldn't be feeling like this is a waiting game yet either-it's just barely July tomorrow!  Oh!  And if anyone knows anyone trying to get rid of a changing table let me know.  I would prefer wood so we can just paint it, but we're really not picky at this point...

I am a water creature...

I love the water.  Love, love, love the water.  I have been begging Jon to go swimming all week and we finally went last night and we weren't even there that long but all I needed was some time in the water.  I really relate to the movie Big Fish in that very odd way.  I was thinking about it too-I have a history with water.  I started swimming long before I could remember and my Mom had to really keep an eye on me around water even before I could walk because I would find ways to make it into the water.  My most fervent prayers as a child were to please be turned into a mermaid.  I was The Little Mermaid for Halloween a couple years in a row.  In 4th grade when we had to pick a historical place or monument in Idaho Falls to do a research project about, I chose the Idaho Falls Aquatic Center.  I took every swim class there was, and I even did all of the swimming merit badges.  I went on to Swim Teams, and then became a lifeguard and a swim teacher and started teaching those merit badges and coaching the swim teams.  I don't know if the chlorine just gets into your system or what, but I love it, and when I'm away from it for too long, I really do feel like I start to dry out-I need it.  Oh, and the exquisite pain relief that comes from sliding into that water.  Maybe I just like to be weightless.  I just love the water...

And Here we have Idaho...

Finally, my baby sisters graduated.  
Idaho Falls got a Cafe Rio!
You'll notice I caught her with her tongue out and everything...
Oh yes, this is the very upscale Bed Bath & Beyond in Idaho Falls.  They totally have John Deere everything for the entire house... 
And, last but not least, our favorite.  These were for sale at a gas station right over the border into Idaho.  If you just can't bring yourself to cut off the sleeves on one of the denim shirts you already have...you can buy them cut off and already frayed for you!

It was so nice to see our families.  We don't get to see them very often, so it's always nice to go.  The weather was fabulous-rainy but not too cold the entire time.  And we got to see everyone, including my Grandma Clark who flew up from Texas for my sisters graduation.
