Blah

Blah is kind of how I felt this week.  As such, there aren't many pictures-mostly because there wasn't a whole lot to take pictures of!  I did not experience this with Avery, but this pregnancy, I have had issues with swelling.  I hear most people talk about their ankles swelling, but for me, it's my hands and face.  Sometimes I can look like I just had my wisdom teeth out again.  I had to take all my rings off about a month ago because they were cutting off my circulation!  I have felt so bare without my wedding rings that I finally took a ring in to be sized up so I could wear it on my ring finger as a substitute-it has to be sized up 3 sizes!!  This week, I have had some swelling of my lower legs and feet, it's so not fun and uncomfortable!!  I don't know how I'm going to make another 2 months.  As I write this though, I am soaking my feet in a foot spa and it helps a bit:)  I was able to get my mind off my swelling body for a little while today while we caught up with Beth and Dave Krieg for lunch while they were in town.  Oh man, it was so nice:) The food and company was excellent.  They are so fantastic with Avery, I cannot wait until they are parents themselves-they will be excellent:)  Sadly, I have no pictures because I didn't have my camera-grrrr-because there were some cute moments!  Avery took everything out of aunt Beth's purse and handed most items to her...and while on uncle Dave's lap, she stirred his iced tea for him and then made him take drinks!  Not 5 minutes after we left the restaurant, Avery fell asleep in the car-very precious.  I'm happy to report that during our 2 hr. lunch, she was pretty darn good-yay!! The rest of the weekend will be spent-again-cleaning...we really need to work on setting up the nursery now that Avery's new room is almost complete!

On a side note: If you could say a prayer for Beth, her grandma and family as her grandma has bypass surgery on Tuesday.

Avery has her sport seasons mixed up!  There's clearly basketball on in the background, but Avery is in love right now with her football!!

This is Avery and her "touchdown" pose.  Aunt Beth taught her this back in October and she still remembers!  Now she likes to spike her football and make the touchdown gesture while staring at you until you yell touchdown!!

One day this week, Avery climbed in Domer's crate with him.  She loved it, giving him pets and kisses...Domer wondered what the heck she was doing in his bed with him!!

She really enjoyed her time in the cage...maybe she's on to something-just kidding!  But there must be something appealing to those crates because we don't even crate the dogs anymore, but they love them so much that we keep them up and use them as their beds!
