Five on Friday

1. On Monday I got my 2013 blog book in the mail. If I were really on top of things, it would have been my 2014 blog book, but at this point in my life I'm just glad I'm not more than a year behind! Also, I die every time I look at this picture - Peyton is so tiny!

2. On Wednesday the kids had a dentist appointment at 10:00 here in Spanish Fork and I had my 34 week appointment at 11:05 in Provo. I considered rescheduling one of them, but the kids' dentist appointments are usually pretty quick, so I thought I would risk it. The timing worked out perfectly and I was able to drop them off at Rhys and Calla's house to be watched with just enough time to make it to my appointment.

3. Peyton was a little scared to go to the dentist and cried before, but when it was her turn she was brave and did great! She was obsessed with the treasures she got - a Minnie toothbrush, floss, toothpaste, and a couple tiny toys. She carried them around all day and insisted on sleeping with them when she went to bed. 

4. I finished my 2nd book of the year, A Fort of Nine Towers, with just minutes to spare before my book club meeting Wednesday night. It was good to read about a normal family in Afghanistan because I feel like we only ever heard about the Taliban and that definitely skewed my perspective of the people there. It was a long book and while I did enjoy it, it definitely wasn't a page turner. It was a good thing I had a time limit or I probably would have taken months to finish it!

5. I'm reaching the point in my pregnancy where I'm just ready to be done! We've all had a miserable cold this week and that definitely hasn't helped. I have to keep reminding myself that I still have a lot left to do before he comes and he still has some growing left to do (although hopefully not too much). 5 (or less) weeks to go!
