Nick's gone

So here we are, what, only like 19 days left?  And where is Nick?  That's right, out of town at a research conference.  Leaving me with Tristan and all the animals.  I will say, surprisingly, no one has been more clinging than Lilly.  She is constantly climbing all over me, trying to get ontop of my head, following me everywhere.  I drew a bath last night, and what did she do?  Got in.  Then, afterwards, soaking wet, tried to climb up on my shoulders to lick my face.  And in the night, curled up around my head and started kneading my hair purring super loud.  Who knew she loved Nick so much??

Tristan has been okay, a little upset now and then, especially in the morning when he runs out to the window immediately calling for "dada".  Saturday started out really early.  We had to take Nick to meet his professor and colleague at 3:45 AM so they could all drive up to the airport together.  But, I ended up driving because his professor wasn't even awake yet.  Luckily, they all made it safely.  But, Tristan and I had to drive all the way to SLC and back.  We took Bangerter home so we could just go slow, and ended up stopping at Walmart on the way.  There isn't anyone there that early except stockers, so I let Tristan just run around the isles for a little bit, which of course he loved.

Sunday was nice, got up early for church.  It was nice a peaceful, I just put on some church music to get ready to before getting Tristan up.  It's been awhile since I've had a nice Sunday morning.  And like always, we sat in the Relief Society room to listen to Sacrament Meeting, but Tristan was surprisingly good, and I was able to hear almost all of it, which was enjoyable as well.  He did okay in nursery, probably still a little upset by his experience last week, and ended up calling for me for most of the time.  So after church, I thought it would be nice to take him for a little drive.  We ended up going to the Timpanogos Temple.  Tristan was nice and let me take a picture of him before it started getting to windy, and I'm glad for that.  Before we move to Iowa, I'd like to get a picture of all of us, me Nick, Tristan and Aramis, so they can see where we were married.  I mean, I'm sure we'll be back to visit often because my parents live here, but it will be nice to have up on the wall of our home.

Yesterday was our day out.  We went shopping for daddy's birthday and father's day *shhhhhhhhhh!* and that was a lot of fun.  Figured now was my only time to do it because I'm having a baby in less than three weeks.  Though I am crossing my fingers it will be sooner!  The last stretch of pregnancy, to be candid, sucks.  I wake up all night long with contractions that make me have to pee.  Then I can't get back to sleep because Aramis thinks he is an olympic kick boxer   Nick said maybe we made a vampire baby, but because he inherited my bad teeth, he hasn't been able to chew his way out yet.  Just my luck, right?

So anyhoo, still got until Saturday until Nick gets home.  But I'm just going to stick around the house and take it easy, don't need to be going into labor while he isn't here.  Man, I can't wait till I'm blogging new baby pictures, that will be sooooooooooooooo lovely!
