So, its been a long time, but I thought I would update things a little bit before that gets to be a little more trouble.  I am super prego, but still feeling pretty good.  I owe it all to a girl in my ward who ran 6 miles everyday until a couple weeks before she gave birth...where she ran 3 miles every day.  That is when I resolved to run while pregnant.  Not an easy task at first, starting with one mile which took me about 20 minutes...no joke.  Then it got easier and I eventually got up to around 4 a day...which took me a long time, but felt really good.  Now I am back to around 1-2 miles and then I am spent.  It has made such a difference in my pregnancy, I can't even tell you.  My body doesn't feel so pregnant, if that makes sense.  Anyway, I am feeling good and we were even lucky enough to visit Art's dad and my brother in California(my favorite place). Hyrum had lots of fun with his cousin, uncle and aunt, and grampy.  Art is doing well and getting a lot of new artwork prepared for his upcoming show at the end of the summer.  Obviously he is trying to get as much done as possible before Jude is born, so he is pretty busy.  He is also training for the red rock run(I think that's what it's called) and is excited to run it with some of my family.  I am still unsure if I can commit as its in September and who knows what kind of shape I will be in then.  We are trying to finish up some projects around the house before Jude is born, like painting and sanding a dresser, organizing the filing cabinet, blah, blah, blah and it gets harder and harder to do as it seems like now I am watching more kids for longer periods of time.  I love watching them, but I do get a bit stressed out about all the stuff I want to get done.  Hyrum is doing really well.  I get worried that I'm not teaching him enough...he's just so smart and now I feel like it's such a big leap from abc's to reading that I'm not sure what to teach him.  He loves to learn and I love to watch that.  He is an amazing boy.  He's excited for Jude's arrival.  I set up our changing table in our room and Hyrum said "When Jude is born you can change his diaper!" It's little things like this that make me think he knows exactly what's going on.  He is so cute and observant and loving.  He really is still so snuggly and I am so grateful for that.  He is now going to the bathroom without any help!  Well, I do hand him some toilet paper because I don't want him to drip on the floor, but other than that from dropping his pants to washing his hands he does it all.  He is awesome.  Well, those projects are calling and Hyrum should wake up from his nap soon.  This will have to do.
