Random, tacky update

I am very proud of my little baby right now. Six weeks ago we visited the doctor in Utah and we were measuring one week small. This last week, on Friday, we visited the same doctor. Our little man is now measuring two weeks big. That is a pretty intense growth spurt. I am proud of him, despite the fact that it has been personally uncomfortable for me. No stretch marks yet, but if he keeps growing at this rate I'm afraid my skin won't be able to keep up much longer.

Our little man is moving around a lot too. His most active hour is usually around 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning. But he is active most of the day and night. I'm afraid he is going to be a bit of a handful once he has the freedom to move around. He's got his feet up in my ribs too, which is generally less than pleasant. But it is fun for me to be able to make out a leg and an arm now. He even lets Ammon feel him move; he didn't used to do that.

This last weekend Ammon and I went on a house hunt. It was the hottest weekend all summer. It was over 100 degrees. We spent at least 8 hours or more in the car Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If you know us, then you know we like to house hunt. But it is certainly different when you don't live close by and when you are getting a little desperate to find the right situation. We only have 6 weeks before we could be moving back to Utah, and we would like to have a place to land. We found a few prospects so we will see how it goes.

I think that is all the random news from here. Sorry for the tacky, not organized post. I am trying to improve the writing on my blog for all of our sakes, but sometimes you just need to write a random update.

I remember those pregnant baby moving around into my ribs days. Adam used to put his hand heavily on my squirming stomach and say, "This is your father...stop kicking your mother in the ribs." It usually worked. The dad voice...effective even in utero.

House hunting sounds exciting and hassling. I hope you find some place you like.

To keep from getting stretch marks I highly recommend Mustela lotion. It's expensive, but worth it. I didn't get any stretch marks and I'm thinking it's because of the lotion. I know the feeling of your skin being stretched so tight you feel like it just might start to tear.
