A day in the life of .... trailer trash!!

For those of you who know, my husband and I recently moved to Rangely, Colorado, a very small town near the border of Utah. If my camera would work properly, I would post some pictures of our awesome living quarters. By awesome, I mean that we are living my father in law's motorhome! --- No hot water for taking showers or doing the dishes, the toilet finally has been fixed after two weeks of making hourly trips to the gas station (due to my lovely prego bladder), and when I cook, which is every second it feels like, I have to turn OFF the AC. Keep in mind, here in Rangely it gets to at least 100 degrees every day. Oh boy oh boy. I feel like I'm just a complaining, emotional, pregnant lady these days, but I have to express my frustrations somehow or I will probably go INSANE!!
My husband works at the Mine here in town, in the engineering department. He loves it so far. Mike is such a positive person, always has been, I think its a good thing I fell in love with someone like him, or else things could get scary. haha He definitely keeps me going and helps me to be grateful for what I DO HAVE. I am so lucky to have him as my husband, I love him so much. And don't get me wrong, I am sooo thankful that Mike got this new job and that he can provide for our little family :) Not very many stay at home mom's are as lucky as I will be, to have a loving husband/father who goes to work every day at 5am and does it happily just because he knows he has me and the soon to be little Meinzer baby to come home to.
We have been trying to get into our house that we're going to buy. I never realized how long the process of buying a house took!!! Maybe it just feels like its already been 6 months because I live in a flippin trailer. haha.


On to better news... Michael and I get to find out what sex our baby is in 9 days!!!!! I am getting soo anxious to know what's growing inside of me! I don't really have a preference to what gender it is, I just need to know asap! I really really really wish my camera worked, cuz I have been developing a BABY BUMP! haha who would've thought I am already showing so much at 17 weeks! I don't know if thats a good or a bad thing, but it is what it is! I love being past the 'fat' stage, even though I still feel huge haha, but at least people can tell there's a precious little baby growing in there! I love being pregnant, I get so emotional every time I think that I am going to be a mommy so soon! I am soo excited. January 7th isn't going to come fast enough!


Sorry about the crappy picture--due to my camera being broken. This is my pregnant belly at 17 weeks! Can't believe I am already so big.....
