belly and life update

SOOO here is the latest 'belly shot'. i think she jumped out (in turn I SHOT OUT) quite a bit last week. shirts are starting to get a little short, pants a little tight, and on one of my belts i am at the last hole! at the Indians game the first 'stranger' commented on my belly and i had a few comments while we were at Amish country- i am glad people can tell it's baby belly now. i just feel really big for only being 17 1/2 weeks- not much you can do about that :) our computer crashed yesterday, yes THE DAY BEFORE NATE started law school. it was kinda a melt down day as we realized that we probably will have to buy a new laptop as ours will be a few weeks out! it is so discouraging as there are SO MANY things to buy to start out here! it gets overwhelming! i was able to get it to turn on today so i am throwing these posts on and then tomorrow or wednesday we are sending it in so i may not be able to blog for awhile- but i will try :) we miss everyone SO MUCH that words cannot even begin to describe. i have never felt so much like i just want to runaway from somewhere as much as i do here! but then i gain composure and realize this is a good thing!?!
BUT back to the baby.... i think i am feeling her move!!! i'm pretty sure of it but then again i have never experienced this before, i am excited to feel her moving more and more to compare it to these feelings i am having now. all the ultrasound people that have seen her have told me how extremely active she is- so i am sure i will be feeling her a lot. maybe after ALL the Olympics we've watched she'll be a gymnast :) i love this little girl!

I know just what you mean about wanting to leave. I have to keep reminding myself that this is only for a few years. We have friends who are also go to Case. He is at Case Dental. I think they live in Shaker Heights(?). Is that near you guys? Good luck to you. I loved the video from the Indians' game!

ahhhh, cute belly!!!! You already stand like a pregnant woman, I love it.

Thats sucks about your comp! You guys should have bought a mac, thats all I can say!

I know exactly how homesick you feel...when we first got to idaho, I cried for weeks, wanting to go back home. Luckily we made friends with you guys and that helped so much. Hopefully you will make friends with some people who you can give a jumped up title too. Naige, Skimber, Fill in the blank.

Paigie....In one week you guys have had some crazy and awesome experiences!!! Just don't waste your time there being homesick...It will fly by and you will miss it there. It looks like there are tonz of fun things to do out there. I loved the amish pics...Congrats to Nate that is a huge thing he is undertaking. Oh Cade started saying Da Da Da! it is so cute. Dallin swears he can say Dallin too and he is thrilled about that. Love you!

the video clip is great!! I love that you got your hair cut and even WON!! That is so funny. I miss you so much, but agree with Linds, you need to make the most of the time while you are out there. You will miss it some day and you love to go places and do things so just see it as a LONG adventure. I am so excited for Nate, I know he will do GREAT!!Love you guys---

you look good paige. it's actually nice once you hit the not just feeling chubby, and actually look pregnant stage. that usually happens when a stranger makes a comment. hopefully they don't come and just touch your stomach and ask when you are due, i hate that. personal space strange people!!! hope your feeling good, and that your getting settled in.
