Working cows and doing gymnastics

This weekend I got the great joy of going with Logan to work cows for our friend Dossie. I had wanted to go with him for awhile now but usually had something going on or there would only be men there and Logan figured I wouldn't enjoy that. Well, this weekend there were a few women. Becky, Dossie's wife, another gentleman's wife and me. Kari came out with Wyatt also. So I went and had a blast. I really wanted to do more work out there than observing but I was not allowed but I still had fun and got some great pictures.

My job this weekend was to ride in the pick up with Becky and Collete sounding the siren to call the cows out that were near the road and have them follow the truck up to the working pens. I wanted to be on a horse and out in the middle of the pasture pushing cows with everyone else but for whatever reason, everyone thinks I have some kind of limitations. So although confined to the truck, I still had a blast. I guess all the bounsing around on the rough roads got the baby all excited. For about 2 hours, she/he was doing gymnastic moves (must be preparing for the olympics). It is such a great feeling to feel them kicking and moving around. It always makes me laugh. I guess because it makes me happy to know he/she is in there playing and moving. When we got back to the house that evening to eat, the baby was pretty still. I am sure he/she was exhausted from a long day. So I figured that he/she was settled down for the night. (this thought in my head almost made me tear up because I pictured me and Logan covering up our beautiful baby with a soft baby blanket in their crib and kissing him/her goodnight. Oh I can't wait) Anyways... Logan and I got back to our house, very tired, and laid down to go to sleep. (there were still more cows to gather and work the next day). Low and behold, the baby decides it is time to play again. Well apparently the best place to play in there is at my belly button or on my bladder. So needless to say it was hard to sleep. But I was still glad to feel him/her.

Here are some pictures from the weekend. Hope you enjoy and have a great week.














Sorry but you must ignore the date on the pictures. I have screwed up my camara and do not know how to reset the date but these pictures really were taken this weekend.

And as of today I am 17 weeks and 4 days which translates to 4 months.
