It's that time again.....

It's been a long while since I last wrote and I'm sure many other posts start out with the same line. Well things have been fun and time is definitely moving by. We found out a while ago that we are having another baby girl. We have no names yet and Aubrey refuses to talk about it. I threaten him that we'll end up naming her Aubrey (since it's a girl's name) if he doesn't decide what he likes (I would never to that to our daughter though, maybe just as a middle name). So as of right now I am 26 weeks and 1 day along. I thought for sure time was going to go by so slow while going to school but we are already in the 7th week and spring break is just around the corner. I am enjoying being pregnant but this time around I would have to say I am more emotional and I feel OLD! I'm not old but when you have to make a noise to get up off the ground or turn to your other side in bed it makes you realize you're changing. Anyway I am loving teaching aerobics and I know this pregnancy is benefiting from the exercise.

So I currently teach at Weber State University and Blue: Adult Dance and Fitness. I will boldly say I LOVE teaching at Blue much more. I feel like I can go and workout with friends instead of trying to be super perfect at teaching and cuing and know everything there is about strengthening muscles. Weber definitely pushes me to be a better instructor but I keep the desire by my experiences at Blue. Side Note- I do NOT teach chair or pole. I teach step aerobics. I do have to be careful of the environment down at Blue because their main selling point is the pole and all things related.

Leila---- Oh Leila, she is getting so big it makes me sad. She is almost 18 months and will go into the nursery next month. I've done my best to keep her reverent in church and hope that going to play with toys at church will not confuse her of the reason for being there every week. I hope she handles the transition well. I've let her take a look inside so it doesn't look so foreign but we'll see how it goes. She is so energetic especially when she decides to throw a fit. Lately it's about Mommy leaving for school or not letting her dive into the tub with her clothes on. She is funny but I don't know how to deal with that just yet. I'll have to do my research.

We got a dog on January 31st. We picked him up for free off KSL and one week later put him back up on KSL. Aubrey really wanted a dog so I gave in and went to look at it. Bear is his name, he is a lot of work, however, Aubrey has been giving him additional training such as staying out of the kitchen, not biting, not jumping up on me, and just relaxing. He is a good dog but I will still have to get used to him Leila loves playing with him and Aubrey is getting exercise.... finally.

He'll be one in March. 1/2 Black Lab, 1/4 Blue Heeler, 1/4 Australian Shepherd.


Well that is it for now. I haven't told you everything but that will make you make me update my blog sooner than 2 months!

And thanks to everyone who gave me their blog address! I love reading them!

Fun update. I'm so impressed you're still so involved with aerobics being as pregnant as you are. And I agree with Camille- we do need to get together soon. :)

Oh, and I just realized this is probably a different Camille than the one I know. Ha ha But we should still get together!
