4th of July Weekend

I finally got a nice, long weekend to get some things done, but to also just relax and take a break from work!  This weekend I got to play around with a quilt design, go on a "hike", play games, watch fireworks, and hang out with family.

My mother-in-law wanted to make a quilt for Baby, so earlier in the week we went to the store and bought some fabrics.  This weekend she had the fabric all cut up so I could play around with the design.  It was like doing a puzzle!

She then sewed it all up for me, and then we went to more fabric stores to pick out the border fabric.  Hopefully it's cute when it's all done!  I think it's pretty cute so far for my first quilt.

Friday afternoon we went up Payson Canyon and did the "hike" to Devil's Kitchen a.k.a. Mini Bryce Canyon.  It was more of a little walk that took less than 5 minutes haha.  But that was a perfect little hike for someone who was almost 38 weeks pregnant and dying in the heat (there was a super nice breeze though).

After the hike, Robert and I went over to my grandparent's house and played some games and just hung out with family.  We played some Harry Potter Clue, which was super fun even though I messed up the whole game because I forgot I had the Library and people were getting the wrong guesses.  Robert was croquet champ of the night (he won both games that were played).  We also played Ticket to Ride the card game version, which was quite fun, and we played a couple of rounds of Spoons.

The fireworks that night were... good?  I feel like fireworks all look the same haha.  I think the thing that entertained me most was watching my uncle, who is a firefighter, light the fireworks because he would just get right in there and get showered with sparks and flames and it didn't even phase him.  He even used already lit fireworks to light other ones.  The aerial fireworks were pretty good though, I have to admit.  Robert and my brother were pelted with little tubes that one of the aerials shot out, but other than that there were no injuries.  We didn't get to finish the grand finale though because the wind was blowing too much and sparks were being blown into trees and bushes.  Those will be saved for the 24th.

And as for the pregnancy, everything is pretty good.  This past weekend I was finally starting to get to the point where I am ready for the baby to just come out.  My feet, legs and fingers are just swollen and it's uncomfortable.  And I had the worst leg cramp ever a couple of nights ago.  It hurt so bad I almost cried, and it hurt just as bad trying to massage it out.  But other than that I'd have to say I am pretty lucky to have had a good pregnancy so far.

38 weeks today!
