Holy Cow

Okay so I just have to blog about our crazy experience yesterday. We can laugh pretty hard about it now, but at the time it was anything but funny.
Wade and I took a cow to the vet to get her eye looked at, after they were done with her they turned her out and she proceeded to run Wade over, knock him down, break his glasses and step on him. That is the easy part! She proceeded to get out of the corral and ended up running through a grain field by the vet office. Wade called me and the hunt was on! Wade, Susan and I followed her through several subdivisions, on to the golf course, down through Jensen's Grove Park, and into some trees behind Walmart (downtown Blackfoot). Well the only people I could think of to call to come help since my family was gone moving cows were Matt and Rick Thompson. Luckily they had been working cows and had horses saddled and they came right away. In the mean time the cow got on to the interstate at the main Blackfoot exit and headed south towards Fort Hall. Wade, me and several cops followed her until she finally stopped along the side of the intersate. Not too long after that Matt and Rick showed up and roped her and drug her over to our trailer where she happily jumped in (this whole ordeal took right around 2 hours). It was probably the scariest experience I have had in a long time, just worrying about someone hitting her and hurting themselves. And I just might add that 99.9% of the people on the interstate yesterday were crazy idiots, even with flashers and cop cars, they hardly even slowed down. We are so lucky that no one was "seriously" hurt. Wade can hardly move, but we will take that anyday instead of a car collision. Moral to this story.....Well, I don't know that there is a clear cut moral, all I do know is we are forever thankful for Matt and Rick, I honestly don't know what we would have done without their help. To them I say a sincere thank you. I guess the moral to this experience could be, keep your true friends close, and you will know they are true friends when you call upon them and they drop what they are doing and rope a cow on the interstate for you.

We thought for sure that the baby would come last night, with all the stress, running and driving around, but to our disappointment - no baby yet! Hopefully soon.

To the doctor again...

Well, we went to the doctor again last Thursday and there are still no signs of this baby coming any time soon. I guess that is good and bad news. Good news because where the baby is right now is a lot less work and stress than when it gets here, but bad news because the hot weather is starting to get really annoying! I have been very lucky this summer that it didn't get hot until the first of July, but the last week has been a challenge. I don't notice the heat during the week because I am stuck in my office, but trying to do things outside on the weekends is a different story. The baby's heartbeat remains in the "gray" area for telling if it is a boy or girl at around 135. My blood pressure has creeped up a little bit so I have begun keeping track of it at home just to be on the safe side.

Wade's first week at his new job went really well, he seems to like it and he likes the people he works with.

Well, I am going to get going for today. Hope you have a great day. And I promise I will get some preggers pictures posted this week, for all my "sick" friends that want to see how fat/huge I have gotten!! Take care.

The Nursery....

Everyone has been asking about the nursery, so I thought I would take a few photos and post them! I have Wade and Susan to thank for the paint job and Todd to thank for putting the crib together. We are done decorating until we find out what the baby is and then we can pick some more colors. Also notice that our bags are packed and ready to roll to the hospital whenever we need to. Wade insisted that the bags be ready a month or so ago, so I got them ready and they are waiting to go.

First Blog....

Hi all, I have decided that a blog would be a lot of fun and a great way to keep everyone up-to-date on our "growing" family. We have three weeks and two days until our due date and couldn't be more excited, nervous, anxious, you name it, we're feeling it!! Went to the doctor yesterday and there are absolutely no signs of this baby coming any time soon. Which is fine with us, he/she is doing great and we plan to wait until our due date to make any decisions about inducing. Wade has been hauling hay for the last couple days and getting pretty good at driving the semi! He starts his new job on Monday. Well I will do my best to keep the blog up-to-date with fun pictures and posts about our ever-changing life. For now take care.
