The Wild, WILD, West...

Ok...I've always been one of those people that starts in the middle of a story. So, lets go back a bit.

Koby is managing a taxidermy shop now, but he is doing hunts on the side. The ranch that he is hunting on is a 5000 acre high fence ranch about 30 min or less from our house. Koby wasn't going to do turkey hunts this year but about a month ago some hunters call and wanted to book one, so of coarse Koby said yes.(side note: we also have another hunt the weekend after Easter)

The rancher says he is going to build a lodge for the hunters and guides to stay in for next year. For now they are using a fairly nice double wide trailer. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 beds in each room.(there were 6 hunters this trip so Koby, Wayne(guide) and I stayed at our house)

I forgot to mention that this house was NAKED when we got there. ABSOLUTELY nothing in it!! We furnished everything! Soooo since Koby works until 8 every night that means I did A LOT of running around town, worrying, and list making last week trying to make sure everything got done.

Another side note....but a BIG part of the weekend: I took Friday off to help get everything ready for the hunt. At about 11:00 I realized that I was spotting, and soon after started cramping. I called my Dr. and immediately got off my feet. We wound up having to go to the hospital for a sonogram mid afternoon. Thank goodness everything turned out ok. They said that there were no holes in the walls, and that my cervix was not trying to dilate. But that I was putting too much strain on my body and I am not superwoman and to take it easier. ( I was only walking 2 miles at lunch, working out at 4, and running errands until 8!)

On a little bit lighter note it looks like our kiddo is going to be a thumb sucker! It is pretty cool the things you can see with a sonogram! We did try to find out the sex of the baby but it sat there with it's legs crossed the whole time! Having this sonogram means that we probably won't have the 18 week sonogram so the next one will be at 22 or 24 weeks! Which means that we won't find out what the baby is until then. I'm just glad that everything is ok.

On with the hunt: Koby had asked me to cook for this hunt. That means out of bed at 3:30 and back in bed anywhere between 10 and 12. There were 8 men that had to be fed 3 good sized meals a day with dessert! With all that had gone on I was suppose to take it easy for the weekend....This is where I am glad that I live close to my Mom.....SuperMom to the rescue! I cooked breakfast, the guys left by 5ish (that's AM), I cleaned up and then took a little nap! My mom was there by midmorning and helped get lunch together, serve lunch, clean up from lunch, start cooking dinner, and Sunday night she even stayed through dinner to help serve and clean up....even then we didn't get home and in bed until 11 and I couldn't tell you when Koby got home. THANKS MOM!

So, here I am back at school on Monday morning. Koby had to cook breakfast for the hunters this morning (can't cook and get to school) and then they went out one more time to try to kill some turkeys. They had already killed 5, hopefully they got a few more today.

I'll try to post a tummy picture later this week. I thought I would be bigger than this at 4 months....I'M NOT COMPLAINING THOUGH! Soon enough I will be as big as a house!
