I was about to begin a much needed nap, but I decided to do my usual online check: e-mail, new blog posts, etc. I was reading a post on Perfectly Squared when I noticed our blog listed in her Blogs I Follow list. Underneath our name it said "Updated 20 hours ago."
I couldn't believe that 20 short hours ago I was posting the Belly Update. So much has happened in that time, and none of it was sleep!
Right after I posted the update, I headed to the bank, then to get the oil changed and a flat fixed on my car, I proceeded to head directly to SLC to celebrate my mom's birthday.
Here it is 20 hours later and I'm back home. The birthday has been celebrated, I almost slept a bit, and I even made it to class this morning. I had to leave SLC at 3:30, but I made it.
I know I'm not the first person to make a round trip to SLC in less than a day, and I probably wouldn't have posted anything about it except that it was because of my mom, which made it worth it.
This part is for my mom, but you can read it if you want: I was very proud to go celebrate your 20th birthday. It's a big deal for you, and it's a big deal for our family. In a lot of ways I think that not only did you restart your life that day, but you helped us all begin our lives anew. It was the most important decision you have ever made, and I am happy that you've been so successful for 20 years now. Happy Birthday, Mom!

The title of your blog threw me off because my blog said Jason & Elisha-20 hours ago. It wasn't until it dawned on me that you were further up on my list that I knew you had updated. Anyway, I can't believe you made that trip so fast.
And by the way, Elisha-don't worry about the size of your belly. You look amazing. When you are holding your newborn, you won't care if you gained 20 or 200 pounds (not that I am advocated that second one).
