BYU VS. UTAH


So Saturday was the BYU Cougs vs the Utah Utes. I'm not going to lie, it was an exciting game despite the outcome being less than favorable for my alma mater. Llyr and I were at the game in BYU gear supporting the Cougs amidst the sea of red. Luckily I sat next to a college football ref and so he was very objective in all of his remarks during the game even though there was plenty around us that were not so fair in what they said. So my biggest frustration of the game was the fact that the fans did not wait until the game was over before rushing the field, twice, and I was really tired. Don't you think they'd learn from the first time? I guess not, because they did it again and got a 15 yard penalty for their beloved team. Unfortunately BYU did not capitalize on their 2 extra tries at the end of the game and so in the end Utah won. I do work for Utah and the rivalry is not as big of a deal to Llyr and I, because Blue and Orange run through our blood, so we did sleep on Saturday night even though we were a little sad. This week BSU plays BYU and we will be sporting the Blue and Orange for that game even though we are so very grateful for our amazing educations that we received at BYU. GO BRONCOS!!!!

28 WEEKS

So, today I reach the 28 week mark in the pregnancy. (For all who don't want to do the math, that puts me about 6.5 months along). I am getting bigger and bigger. People touch my belly. Everyone asks about it or makes the comment that I'm getting big and many ask if I'm ready. So as I was thinking about this today I realized that I haven't journaled much about the pregnancy and need to do a better job so I can tell this little guy what it was like to be pregnant with him. Other than throwing up about 5 times a week up until week 18 and being tired and having to buy new clothes, this has been amazing. He is kicking me more and more. I love it even when it wakes me up, because that is when I am the most still and can truly appreciate the fact that there is a little one growing inside of me. Llyr has mentioned on numerous occasions that he just wants the baby to come. I do too, but I do want to wait until his little body is ready and I need some time to actually make some purchases for the baby. We have not purchased one thing of furniture for this baby. Who does that? I sure hope that I can overcome this procrastination and become a good mommy. I don't have any pictures of my belly, but will have Llyr take some soon.
