Not the best lighting in the room, but this family picture will have to do. I do NOT like to have my picture taken when I am pregnant. Don’t expect many more.
Here I am with my three chins, extra fat cheeks and everything else… I have already put on (sigh) 25 pounds. Right now I am 25 weeks along – 15 more to go! Just so you know, I HATE this picture and may delete it later at will. Being pregnant is just not my favorite thing. Yesterday I spent my first REAL cold day traveling to Fairbanks. The thermostat on my mini-van ranged between -19 and -36 degrees during late-morning into the afternoon. We packed extra food, blankets, snow pants, etc to make our trip.

Dinner and a Family Home Evening activity all on the same day! Made my day!
What are the chances of a repeat tomorrow?
