Hotel fun and pregancy

In case you didnt know, we are in idaho falls. cory is here for business and claire and i came along for fun. Well, i have taken lots of fun pictures of us at the hotel here but then i realized i have no way of uploading them to the computer... so we will just have to wait until i get back home this weekend to post pictures. everyday for the past week my day has begun with eating continental breakfast (eggs, sausage, and waffles) and then coming back to the room and watching some tv. then me and claire go swimming and hot tubbing, which is so much fun all by ourselves! i hope you catch the sarcasm. then we eat lunch, take a nap and watch a bit more tv before cory gets back from work. we eat dinner, go swimming again and then put claire to bed. my legs are burned from the clorine in the water. we have litterally went twice a day for the past week. oh well, there is nothing better to do.

We did get to go to rexburg over the weekend which was fun. i got to see two of my good friends, heather and april. rexburg has changed a lot since we left. the temple is complete and beautiful. i got to go to my 2 favorite resturants while there. Craigos pizza and mill hollow- the best frozen yogurt i have found.

I am supposedly 16 weeks pregnant now, and during the weekend we also got to go shopping. i got 4 new maternity shirts and found some great maternity pants that i plan on getting when i get a little bigger. i am showing though, and i will also post some pictures of my belly as it grows. i sware i am furthur along than 16 weeks though, i can feel the baby move around- (not kicks, but the body) my stomach gets hard several times during the day and night, which only happend to me latter on in the pregnancy with claire. at 16 weeks the baby is 4 1/2 inches long and about the size of a avacado. some can feel the butterfly feelings of movement but some dont feel it until 20 weeks. i definetly dont feel butterflies, i feel a head or butt or back, i feel the babys body! its weird. who knows, maybe its just a big gas bubble. haha. If you didnt notice i changed my username from cory and ashleigh, to just ashleigh. I told cory that if he wants his name back he will have to contribute to this blog as well. If i am the only one writing stuff on the blog his name doesnt deserve to be on it. plus, this is his family, maybe they would like to hear from him once in a while. well, even though he isnt here, he as well as i, send our love to you all.

  1. Well at least you have cable at the hotel. It is probably funner than staying home without Cory for 2 weeks. You will need to keep us posted as to what your due date is after the ultrasound. It would be cool if you were farther along then you thought. It would be like skipping a month of pregnancy. If I were to choose a month to skip I would rather skip one of the latter months than the first one. How is it working to have Claire sleep in the same room as you?

  2. I am so excited for you and Cory! It's too bad your not here, we could sneak you into Mercy, the techs like Dallen, I bet you they would give you an ultrasound for free to see how far along you really are! Dallen gave me one at 5 weeks and all we could see was a blob...then he did another one at 7 weeks and couldn't see anything...turns out he was ultarsounding my bladder!! It's a good thing for the ladies of Chicago that he doesn't do these regularly!! I'm with April though, if I could skip a month-I think it would be the ninth one...I swear I could feel Jonah kick my throat at that point!!
