Since I got pregnant I have gotten much more forgetful than I normally am. I seem to have more blonde moments than ever now.-Not that they didn't happen before, just that it happens more frequently now. For example, last night I loaded up the dishwasher and reached under the sink to grab the dishwasher detergent. I pulled out a bottle, looked at it quickly and started pouring it in. After I started pouring I realized that instead of the usual white liquid that comes out it was orange and runny. What the heck was I doing?! I had grabbed the dish soap and just started to pour it on into the dishwasher instead! I'm pretty sure I'm losing it! Chad got a good laugh out of that one. I had another pregnancy moment when I was at the grocery store last week. I was in the produce section at Hyvee picking out a green pepper. I must have been standing a little too close to the display of perfectly stacked peppers because as I turned to put the green pepper into my cart my belly knocked over a couple big red peppers and sent them rolling on the floor! Yep that's embarrassing to knock something over with your mongo pregnant belly! Right away a sweet little produce worker came over and picked them both up before I had a chance to attempt to akwardly bend over to pick them up and told me that it happens all the time and not to worry about it. Another thing that I've noticed is that I've become clumsier than ever. I was at the gym the other night and I had brought three things with me: keys, my phone, and my ipod. I got on the eliptical and was on my way. Within 10 minutes of being in the gym I managed to drop everyone of those things at least once! You can just call me butterfingers! I know I've had many, many more moments like these since I got pregnant, but I just can't remember them. So maybe some of you can relate to these pregnancy moments, and if not, maybe it'll give you a good laugh for the day.

Tractor Museum
Chad's sister Erica came to visit us for the weekend. We don't get to see Erica very often so it was so much fun to have her here! Since we didn't get her back from the airport until late Friday night we didn't start our activites until Saturday. We got the day started off right with Chad making us a big breakfast. Then we headed out to Target where Erica helped us finish up the last of our big baby purchases. Afterwards we took Erica over to the East Campus where the law school is. Since we were over there we decided to see the Tractor Museum. Yes there is actually a Tractor Museum here...pretty funny!
There were rows of all sorts of different tractors to be seen.
Basically Erica and I spent our time there taking random pictures to entertain ourselves during the tour. I look like I swallowed a basketball in this picture.
Our tour was given by this little old man. Come to find out he used to teach mechanical engineering. As you can tell by this picture, once he found out that Chad has his undergrad degree in engineering he ignored us for the rest of the tour and gave Chad his own personal tour with all the engineering extras in it. Chad loved every second of it! Although the musuem is probably not my favorite place in the world it was defininetly worth it to take Chad there because I know it made his day. Thanks Erica for making the trip out here! We loved having you here!Saturday, October 10, 2009

Winter beginning and visitors
The past couple of weeks it has started to get a bit cool here and feel like winter is settling in. With the coolness has come my least favorite part of Nebraska....the frigid wind. I can handle the cold temperatures and humidity, but the wind just about does me in. It may be 40 or 50 degrees outside one day, but with the wind chill it feels much, much colder. So we are back to the windy days with bad wind blown hair and broken umbrellas. However, on the plus side the cooler temps have made it so we can sleep with our window open at night and it's been absolutely fabulous. Since I have my little heater inside of me I am constantly getting overheated at night which makes me even more uncomfortable than I already am. But with the window open and the cool air flowing in I sleep much better. It's so great! Then there is poor Chad. Before we go to bed Chad turns on the fan and opens the window for me. Then he crawls under all the covers and throws the heaviest quilt we have on top of him hoping that he won't freeze to death. He deserves a gold medal for putting up with that alone. But that's not all he does for me. He will do just about anything to make me comfortable and goes out of his way to please me. Pretty much he is the BEST! I just love this boy!
This week has been crazy busy and so I'm a little late in getting around to posting this one. Last week we had Grandma and Grandpa Price come visit us. They were on their way down to Missouri to see the rest of the Burgin clan. We were lucky enough that we were able to spend the day with them and have them stay at our apartment. I left work a little early on Thursday and went home and we all chatted for a while before we went to dinner at the Olive Garden. We had a great time and the food was delicious! Then we came back to our apartment and played Mormon Bridge and "No Peekie". I had never won at Mormon Bridge until last night. It was great to have my moment of glory for just a minute before the next game when I came in dead last. haha Same thing happens when I bowl...one game I do really good and then next game I score like a 50. We had a great time playing games and chatting with them. Grandma and Grandpa were so funny! We just love them and feel so grateful that they came and visited us.
