BIG changes

Lentil doing a dance for us!!
Moving in

Last weekend we moved into our new house with the help of some guys from our new ward (you offer them pizza and they'll do anything!). We had five or six guys show up so loading up our old place and unloading at our new house went pretty fast. We really appreciate all the help from people that didn't even really know us!!! Thanks new wardies!!! Now that we are in our new place the task of unpacking and cleaning seems daunting. We have been doing a little bit each day, so the mass of cardboard boxes scattered throughout the living room has been dramatically depleted but we still have so much left to do. I don't remember it taking us this long to unpack when we moved into our apartment in Logan, and we basically have the same amount of stuff.

Nathan has been enjoying work and is getting more and more excited about being a dad as the days go on! He loves that I'm already showing, even though I think I'm too early to be showing this much. He's also getting very excited for our upcoming trip to Montreal!! The other thing Nathan is really into is reading The Count of Monte Cristo, its funny because he bought it for me but I can only read it when he's not home because he'll take it over! So I'm waiting until he catches up to where I'm at in the book so we can read it out loud together. He told me the other day how he wasn't a reader until he married me and now he can't stop, its good to know I'm brushing off on him in little ways!

I have been enjoying giving tours to the 5th graders at the art museum, these kids really blow my mind! I must have been a super disciplined child because the majority of these 5th graders have an incredibly hard time staying in groups and following directions. Yes I understand that they are on a field trip and how liberating it is to be out of school, but honestly I feel like these kids have the attention span of 1st graders not 5th graders. They have extremely entertaining to observe on a psychological level but as a docent, it can be very exhausting! Nonetheless, its fun to entertain art centered conversations on their level, they come up with the most interesting ideas.

Lentil is doing well, I have had the chance to hear its heartbeat on my last two appointments and it is very surreal. I still can't believe there is someone in there. Although I do look like I've swallowed a mini basketball, so I know its in there. I know I will get bigger but man I feel huge already! I swear I shouldn't be showing this much for 17 weeks. Also we will officially find out its sex on November 6th, and I am counting down the days. SO stay tuned because we'll definitely post it!!!!
