Moved AND Baby Belly

We are mostly settled into our new apartment, thanks to many guys from the ward that helped us.  I started packing and moving things Friday around 3pm and we didn't stop til about 11:30 that night.  Then the following morning, we woke up about 8am and starting packing and cleaning more to get ready for the guys to come help.  At 9am we started loading the trucks and moving everything from the third floor to another 3rd floor.  Ugh.  It was very exhausting going up and down and up and down and up and down stairs all day and all night for a couple days.  Finally at 6:30 on Saturday we had everything cleaned at the old apartment and everything moved into our new apartment.  It is Sunday night now, and we still have about 5-6 boxes to unload, arrange some furniture, and hang up all pictures.  I've been trying to catch up on some sleep from the weekend.  I'm just glad that the move is over!  I decided I'm not going to post pictures... you can just come visit us.  Yes- you in Idaho, Utah, Washington, California, Illinois, Tennessee, Iowa, Texas (of course), and any other state you live in...

And now you have it, a picture of my growing baby bump.  That baby in there is an active one!!  I am feeling it a lot more now! Wow! Just today I've felt it move several times throughout the day.  It is so exciting to feel it.  Paxton always asks, What does it feel like?  He always wants to know, and I explain it to him, to which he replies, I want to feel that too.  Haha.  He's so cute.

Oops I blinked

So, weird, scary story.  Tonight we were leaving our apartment to go to a friend's house.  I walked out the door first and headed towards the stairs.  Before I got to the top of the stairs, I noticed a black thing on the wall.. then it moved up.. it was climbing.  I got a little closer and then stopped abruptly when I realized it was a raccoon.  It was climbing up the wall and climbed into the gutter.  The gutter is positioned right where the stairs turn, so we would've had to walk right by it.  I imagined me walking by slowly and him pounce on my shoulder and bite me... so I suggested we take the opposite stairs.  Paxton was like, No he won't hurt us- raccoons don't hurt anybody.  He started walking towards the coon, and it turned it's head at us and stared us down.  He had no fear in his eyes.  He was a stubborn little guy.  That was his territory and he wasn't gonna move for nobody.  We stared at him back for a good 10 seconds, then turned the opposite way and went down.  BUT on the bottom floor we crossed over, so we had to walk under where the raccoon was chilling in the gutter.. and when we were able to look up and see him, he was there staring right back at us.  Aaaaahhh- it was just a weird, creepy, scary look with those dark eyes... ewww.  Anyway, that was just so weird to us.  It made us wonder if he lives in an attic in our building or what he was even doing there.  I wanted to get my camera and take a picture.. I was too lazy.  Maybe next time we have a visitor I'll snap a shot.
