The Big Move

A Big Move
Okay so the biggest news of all this week is that Momma and Papa are moving to the West!!! We found out last week that they are moving to Utah most likely at the end of the school year in May! Crazy news, I know a lot of people are really bummed about it all, but I have to say that I am so excited for them to be here. There are so many days where I miss just being around them, and I am jealous of everyone that gets to see them on a regular basis, but It will be so great having them here when Eldon is born. I am just ecstatic that they won't miss out on him growing, they will be able to be close and won't have to see him age through pictures! I can't wait.
A Quick Update
Just a quick update things with the pregnancy are gong great. I think I am going to give birth to a Mexican jumping bean!!! He is quite the mover. It is starting to begin to get harder to bend over. I was doing the laundry this week and I swore if I had to bend over one more time, than I might not get back up!! But luckily I did. I am just trying to keep myself busy so that I won't begin to gen to tired. Anyways here is an updated picture... I didn't want to take it but Mark convinced me too!!!

24 weeks!!

Quick Update:
Okay so for a quick update.... I have been so busy with absolutely nothing it seems, but still I can't find time to just relax. I got a job at APX alarm, the same place Mark works now, I will just be working in a different department. Not exactly what I would want to be doing but it does pay well and plus it will be easier as I move into my 3rd trimester, which is so close to being here, only one more week really and my 3rd trimester will be here!!!! I am so excited I could scream. Mark is still busy with school, he always has something he has to study or get done, and with work on top of it all, poor hubby never gets a break. But I love him he is such a hardworking, he makes me so happy!
Prego Update:
Okay so I am 24 weeks how crazy is that!!! WOW, it was so slow in the beginning and now it just seems to be rushing at us so quickly. I don't want it to go by fast, well I kinda do, but at the same time I am starting to hit a realization point.... I just spend hours thinking wow, he really is coming and soon! My nerves are just on there ends, I just hope I can be a great mother and at the same time still be a great... or even better wife to my Mark! Things are just really exciting and overwhelming at times, but as long as I just pay attention to what's happening now it makes it easier to go through. Looking to far ahead just makes me nervous.
Funny Story:
Mark has started to run every night to get ready for entering the firefighting program soon. He runs almost 2 miles around the neighborhood and then does a few sprints in front of our home.
Okay so Monday night we got back from dinner, and Mark left to go running. When he was done, he went out front to run his sprints. Now what he does is he runs as fast as he can a short distance back and forth with a few quick seconds of cool down in between. After finishing up he came inside and no more than 5 minutes had past by and we got a call from our landlord asking us to come outside , he said the police were here and to come out now. We both walked outside not knowing what this was all about. When we went outside not only were there police there, but there were 4 of them... not just 2. The police took me and Mark apart from each other and one asked me questions while the other spoke with Mark. The cops first question was, " are you having marital problems, or have you been having arguments?" I said no in a questioning manner, I didn't know why he would ask me that. He asked a few more questions, just sort of a rephrase of the first question, I finally asked him what the problem was. Apparently the police were called by a neighbor because they saw his doing his sprints, and they had watched him over the past couple nights, they said to the police that he looked upset and angry like he had been in an argument or that he was mad enough to go home and cause a domestic dispute because he was just pacing back and forth and breathing heavy ( a normal person would think... wow they are running hard, but no this person just thought he was mad and pacing). Mark cleared the situation with the police and we went back inside.
Moral of this story is never go running at night in Happy Valley. One of your neighbors might think you are mad, and you might go home to beat your wife!

21 week ultrasound

Ultrasound
Okay so we have great news our little Eldon is doing great! We got to see him on ultrasound for the 3rd time this Friday, he was so adorable... and so much more photogenic!! The ultrasound tech did a lot of things I didn't really understand, I wish she would have slowed down a bit to let us enjoy it an understand it all, but I understand it was the end of the day on Friday and she had a lot to get done. From what I saw she measured Eldon's belly, head ( all different directions, she looked at the liver, and made sure there was a 4 chambered heart, Also she measured his lower leg. From the looks of it all he is measuring about a week bigger than what he is... which could actually be closer to his actual due date, because we really didn't know when exactly the pregnancy started, so it was just a rough guess to begin will. Lets hope his due date is sooner... because then I am that much closer. We will see:) Lets see other than that I don't think us Georges have much more that when on this week, other than Mark is still super busy all the time with work and school. Hopefully he will get a break, I know he needs one. He works so hard and I love him for that!!!

Here is Eldon Allen at roughly 21 weeks!!!!!
