The middle of Summer

We are into the fifth month! Or as medical professionals would say I'm on my 18th week. My doctor told me that they don't like using months to determine how long you have been preggo because it is less accurate so we are on week 18.

It's so crazy! I feel like this is going to feel like the longest time because I'm not going to school. I don't have a set schedule for anything so the days seem to go on forever. Hopefully, in September when I start up again I'll get so consumed in school work that December will come in no time!

A couple we are friends with are also expecting and their EDD is only 11 days before mine. They found out this week that they are having a boy! I know that I will love my baby for whatever it is but I really want a boy! Since we are not finding out what Baby Dean is I have to wait until December instead of at my next ultra sound appointment.

This summer has been jam packed already. In June, with my parents, we ventured north for my brothers birthday. We spent a weekend hanging out in San Fran/Berkeley and had a lot of fun seeing where my brother lives and meeting some of his friends. With Ryan's family we headed to Big Bear for a day and went hiking by the lake. the next weekend Ryan's sister, Lea, came to stay with us and we went to Santa Monica Pier and The Griffith Observatory. At the end of the month we went to Mormon Night at Dodgers Stadium and then to the Hollywood Forever Cemetery with some friends to see Labyrinth.

July, even though only partial over has been busy as well. At the beginning of the month Ryan broke our fridge and we went a week without one. During that week was the Fourth of July and we had fun at a breakfast with our ward and then a BBQ with some friends. Last week we spent some time with my family and it was very nice and relaxed. This weekend we are going up to Barstow to spend some time with Ryan's family. We are kinda trying to pack a whole bunch of family time into the next couple months because come October I will be limiting my travel to as far as school since I'll be in my third trimester.

Along with everything else going on this summer, we have been apartment searching and it's been disappointing.  Every where we go we find apartments that are out of our price range and priced high because it's apartment season for our college city. We have found a couple good leads that will maybe be our new home. We have our fingers crossed!

With all that we've already done you'd think school would be starting soon but we still have six weeks and so much more planned. Happy rest of summer everyone!
