We are now visiting the doctor every two weeks instead of once a month AND we took a prenatal class this month, which makes it seem like this baby might actually come out one day! :) We love our doctor so we don't mind visiting more often and our prenatal class was really helpful so we just feel packed full of baby/birthing information. Wahoo! At times it's really exciting, and other times it is kinda crazy/weird to think we'll be having a baby. But all in all, we really are excited.
Meghan is officially obviously pregnant as you can see and is obviously swollen from the 100 degree weather we've had off and on the last few weeks . . . ugh!
(the photographer suggested I pull my dress back so you can see my belly, just so you know . . . i don't normally stand around holding up my belly with my hand . . . haha)Anyways, baby is great. She kicks like crazy and really enjoys having a dance party after I eat. The heartburn of pregnancy I could definitely do without and I look forward to a day when I can sit however I want and not have back aches but such is life :)
Meghan is officially done teaching swim lessons and Jared is done working at RCWilley. Meghan will be interpreting at BYU for a few Deaf students (she finally passed her certification test!) as well as teaching a few classes at the library and Jared is working for the Distance Learning program as a tech guy at UVU. He is excited to work on campus and take lots of classes this semester and Meghan is excited to interpret and finish up her grad school classes this semester.
We have been really blessed in that all of Meghan's teachers/bosses are being very flexible with the pregnancy since the baby is due a few days after the halfway mark of the semester and she is excited to finish up her courses so she can finish up her thesis during the winter semester.
Last Friday was Meghan's last day working at the Timpanogos temple which was bitter sweet. It is an amazing experience to be there serving others every week and we love every minute of it, but Meghan's back has reached it's limit sadly so it was the right time to take a break. It's sad to think it will be a VERY long break, but it will be exciting when all our kids are out of the house to think we can share that time serving in the temple again. We recommend anyone who is willing and able to serve in the temple to go to your bishop and ask! It really is amazing. The most peaceful hours of the week. There is no doubt in our minds that the temple is the House of the Lord. His Spirit truly is there.
Well, that's about it for this month. We had a great month of August and September looks like it will be pretty great, too. Let us know how you all are doing. We love you!
