May Adventures

All of our May weekends got booked pretty quick. We had a prenatal class one weekend, Dane's sister;s wedding another weekend, and the family campout the last weekend. Dane was getting a little nervous before the wedding and the campout because I was 9 months pregnant and he was terrified I would go in labor before and we would miss something.
One day I told him I was going to walk to my parents house while he went to a group meeting for school. With a concerned look on his face he said, "maybe you should drive, you don't want to go into labor before our trips."
Luckily I didn't go into labor.
My doctor was amazed that I went camping in Salmon 2 weeks before my due date. The campout was a lot of fun. There were just a couple rainy days and cold nights. We slept on an air mattress in our tent and I slept well. Luckily we had a bucket with a toilet seat in the tent so I could get up to pee 4+ times every night- I didn't enjoy that part as much.
Luckily we didn't have to deal with our bucket tipping over in our tent like my sister Jennifer did. That was intense.
It was the first time in a few years that my whole family made it to the campout. My brother Daniel and his family traveled from Colorado, and my sister Emily and her family did some traveling between Washington D.C. and Pocatello to make it work.
It was wonderful to be all together.








We also traveled to Provo, UT for Dane's sister's wedding. I hadn't been with all of Dane's siblings since before we were married. We all stayed together in a nice house. It was such a wonderful weekend.
All of the festivities including the endowment session, the luncheon, the sealing ceremony and the reception were fabulous.
Dane's family also threw us a little baby shower and gave us a ton of gifts. We got clothes, a boppy, a pack n play, diaper bags, quilts, blankets, changing pads and more.

Dane and I each got our own diaper bag. As you can see Dane got a special one with deer on it.

The happy couple






It was wonderful to be with family- the only sad part was that they all didn't get to see the baby outside my stomach.
