..."Recently my wife has gotten a little lazy...or as she likes to call it, 'pregnant'..." Jim Gaffigan
That's got to be the quote of my life. When I first got pregnant Laura was living with us, and it was embarrassing to have her come home and see me laying on the couch with dishes in the sink and clothes everywhere. I was being lazy, or otherwise, pregnant.
The second trimester was GREAT! I had energy, I could go for long walks, and the house was ALMOST always clean (minus my bedroom, I have a problem with keeping my room clean, Hyrum loves it...alright, he doesn't). It was as if I weren't pregnant.
As of about right after Christmas I decided that work was going to have to come to a brief halt as of Feb. 6th. Swollen feet, sore tendons,standing for 1-3 hours per client, and a hand full of clients letting me know my tummy is awkwardly rubbing against them during their haircut has made me decide that some time off would be nice. I'm not being lazy, I promise, just being pregnant.
As for Hyrum, he's had some big changes at work! He no longer works for North Ada County Fire and Rescue, he now works for the largest fire district (is it district? I should know this) in all of Idaho. He works for BOISE FIRE! We are so excited! So far he's only worked 2 shifts with them, but he LOVES it! He gets to meet a lot of new people, and turns out there is a guys in our ward who works for Boise, and his wife and I have become RS buddies. His schedule is super amazing, he works 2 days on and 4 days off. That's right folks, that's 4 days OFF! Its nice to have him home. Some days he gets to act pregnant, but others hes cleaning out the garage or pulling boxes from here or there. But, what he wants to do every day is take Gunner out hunting by the river. This week is the last week for duck season, so I'm sure Hyrum will have some early morning hunts and long afternoon naps.
Also, Hyrum and I (MAYBE myself ) have decided that we will both go to real estate school in the next couple of months. It will give Hyrum something to do on his days off, and it will allow me to help bring in some extra dough while still doing hair. We'll see how that goes. Anyways, there is the update on our lives.
As for people who have requested belly pics, I really hate taking the "frame the belly" pictures, but Ill see what I can do:)

I'm glad for an update. Congrats Hyrum! We're excited for you. How did that all go down?
Real estate school. Sounds like a great idea!
Do you have to apply to and pay for real estate school? This appeals to me.
I wasn't a fan of the frame the belly pictures either. Well, I'm still not. I think I take them because the only person who really sees me is Evan and my students (and they could care less about the belly), so they are really for my family and friends. (Or do I just use that as an excuse?)
