Addyson 35 weeks 1 day

Here is the latest picture of my bump. I am measuring small but she is measuring big. Go figure.

Crazy Monsoon Weather

This past week has been great for the Monsoon rain. I think it has rained everyday this week. Houghton-the main road out to our house-which is a two lane road has been flooded about three times. There is no other place for the water to run except over the road. Chris LOVES driving through the washes and splashing the water everywhere. He says puddles were made for splashing. Thank goodness I have new tires on the car. Anyways after one really bad storm (I think there was three right in a row), a storm would come and then there would be a break for about 20 minutes then another would hit. The wind blew over a tree in our backyard. Here is the picture of the poor downed tree. Luckily it can be saved. We called our landlord and she sent someone out to look at it. Chris and him will be standing the poor tree back up today.

Addyson 31 Weeks 5 Days



Here is the most recent picture of my belly. We are getting really excited for her to be here and trust me I cannot wait for the next eight weeks to fly by. I love being pregnant, just not in Arizona. I went to the doctor last week and she told me that due to the fact that I have no body fat Addyson is two centimeters below my skin. Its crazy how much I can feel. She has now found my ribs on my right side and gets the hiccups a lot. Its crazy to think that I have this living baby inside of me. It makes me realize how blessed we are to start a family of our own. Needless to say we are super excited!

Huge Toad



The other night we let our dogs and Jake starting barking like crazy. My first thought was oh great another snake. But luckily it was this huge ugly toad right outside the door. We brought the dogs in and grabbed the camera. As soon as Chris picked up the toad it started "peeing" on him or so we thought. Apparently river toads can be quite poisonous. It can kill a dog if they like it. Luckily Chris did not lick his fingers after and the dogs were too scared to get too close. These toads are so annoying. We had a major rain storm a couple of nights ago and they sound like cats dying when they are croaking. Its ridiculous.
