My husband, Tim, and I are expecting our first child!  He is a little boy named Levi!  I’m about 2 weeks from term and 5 weeks from the due date (May 8).  Although entirely unplanned (how many children aren’t?), my husband and I are very excited and can’t wait for these last couple of weeks to be OVER WITH!  Of course there are several reasons we want to be done with the last couple of weeks.  Tim’s main thing is he can’t wait to hold him and yes, that is one of my mains too.  However, I have to selfishly admit that one of the biggest things I can’t wait for is to be rid of this incredible weight hanging onto my stomach!  I’m quite circular in my tummy area and am therefore very off-balanced.  I find it difficult to sit up sometimes and of course bending down is no fun (waddling isn’t my thing either).  Being a first-time mom, this is all new to me and I would like it to be OLD to me- as in history, done and over with.

On the other hand, Tim and I realize these last couple weeks are our last weeks of just the two of us.  While we don’t mind this, we do want to spend this time just being together and relaxing.  Therefore, we decided to take a trip to Branson, Missouri.  Thankfully, it has thus been a very relaxing trip and it isn’t over yet!

The other day we went to Table Rock Lake State Park.  It is a truly beautiful undeveloped lake, and we really enjoyed just being around the water.  The “shore line” is entirely rock- no surprise- and we decided to climb around the rocks along the water.  Needless to say, I was very careful to watch where I put my feet, being so off-balanced and it being essential that I not fall down.  Tim was a ways ahead of me when he looked back and asked (jokingly) why I was so far behind.  I complained that I have a really large belly that really throws me off and it is all rocky and bla bla bla.  He too was looking down at where he was walking and therefore didn’t see ahead of him when he called back to me, “Yah, well I have a big belly too and you don’t hear me complaining!”  He then looked up to see two not-so-skinny ladies looking at him, completely horrified by what he’d just said!  The ladies hurried off and I couldn’t help laughing (thankfully I was far enough behind that they couldn’t hear me).

I hope the rest of the trip will prove to be so entertaining!
