35 Weeks...

It wouldn't be right if I posted a picture on time, so here is a pic of me at 35 weeks. I'll be taking another one this week which will be 37 weeks. I went to the Dr. last week when I was 36 weeks for my first weekly visit where he checked me to see if I had progressed at all. The babies head is down but I wasn't dilated or effaced at all. My mom says that she was always tight as a drum until she went into labor so I may be a chip off the ole block in that regard. I am still measuring 2 weeks big and the Dr. said that he doesn't want me to go to my due date but also isn't chaning it. I'm not sure he know what he's talking about but we'll see what he says this week.

What an eventful weekend!

Of course it wasn't the most recent weekend that I am talking about becuase that would mean that it didn't take me a week to blog, but that's not the case. I finally graduated from college on May 4th and my parents were able to come out for it which was so much fun! It was so glad to have my family and Chris' parents there for the celebration. It was really hot in the there and it seemed to go on forever, but it was worth every minute of it knowing that I never have to do it again.......unless I decide to get my masters someday! :-)

I do have pics of the actualy graduation but those are on the other camera and I'm not entirely sure I know how to transfer those. But...here are some pics of us before we left for graduation.

Since my parents were in town we had to take advantage of it so my family threw a shower for me the following day.  Elleny, Heidi and my mom did an AMAZING job!  It was so much fun.  Elleny is so talented and made so many cute decorations and treats. We always have so much fun when we get together as a family, I just love it!

Don't all those treats look amazing?!!  Well, let me tell you, they were!!  Thanks to everyone who came and participated, I had such a fun time and loved everything we got!



34 Weeks

I can't belive that I am 34 weeks pregnant.......or should I say, was 34 weeks. (I am now 35 weeks but haven't taken a current picture so I will post that later this week)

I went to the doctor last week at 34 weeks and was still measuring two weeks big, which means I am measuring 36 weeks. I've been measuring big my whole pregnancy but the doctor didn't want to change my due date becuase he said it usually evens out the further along you are.  I would think it should even out by now but apparently not. Next week when I go back to the doctor he will start checking me to see if I am dialted or effaced, so maybe he will think about changing it then depending on the outcome. Chris seems to think that baby boy will come early, but I am convinced that he won't.  We shall see if I am once again wrong or finally right.

32 and 33 weeks....

I thought the further along I got, the better I would be about taking pictures.......and that is just not the case. I missed week 30 and 31, but here I am at week 32 and 33.

32 weeks

33 weeks

I can hardly believe that there is only a week's difference between these last two pictures because my belly seems so much bigger this week. I feel like I have a huge basketball underneath my shirt. The weird thing is, I've lost a couple pounds this week.  I think it's becuae I am getting bigger and my stomach is so smashed in there that I get full so fast and am eating less.  I need to make sure I am eating smaller meals more frequently now I guess. I go back to the Dr. this week which is my last appointment before he starts to check me to see if I am dialted.  Yikes!!! This pregnancy has gone by SO fast.

Rough Day....

This past week was rough for Chris and I. Our car started making some real weird noises which made us kind of go in panic mode to find a new car. (Probably unnecessary, but we wanted to be able to drive the Grand Prix to the car lot rather than having it die on us.) Work was also particularly stressful this week for both of us. Monday night I worked on my tax problem that I've been working on for almost 12 hours and was frustrated because my numbers weren't coming out right. I immedialtely panic and plan out my week and try to figure out when I can fit time into each day to work on the problem so I can make sure I got it right. So..... tuesday when I went to work I was already stressed and then we had some dulicate payment issues that I had to deal with at work. Normally, it wouldn't have been a big deal but it made me want to cry that day. As you all know, I have the most amazing husband in the world.  I left work that day actually excited to go to Calculus just because it meant I wasn't at work anymore and when I got home I had this waiting for me!!

I can honestly say that as soon as I got home, everything I was stressed or worried about didn't matter anymore.  Thank you Chris.....you absolutely made my night!  Little does he know, just seeing him would have done the same thing! :-)

I also found out the next day, after reaching out to my teacher about the tax problem, that no one in the class will get the problem right and he doesn't expect us to. In fact, he told me I spent enough time on it and not to waste anymore time, he just wants to see that a "good faith" effort was put into it. What a relief!

Happy 1/2 birthday Chris!

For Chris' birthday last year, which is October 12th, I bought him an over night stay at a bed and breakfast in Bear Lake.  Because I bought this as a deal on KSL, there was a stipulation that it had to be used by March 31st...........no problem, right?  Well, for us it was. It seemed like we had something on almost every weekend or would be gone doing something else and didn't want to miss that much church since we teach Sunday school. We finally booked it for March 31st and were excited to go over conference weekend, until the weather report came that is. They were supposed to get quite a bit of snow the morning we were supposed to come home and Chris just didn't want to chance driving up there. We thought for sure we were going to lose the coupon becuase it was the last weekend but we were ok with it because we would rather be safe, but I emailed the resort and the lady was so understanding and let us extend it to the end of May.  That was so sweet. Last weekend we went and had a very nice and relaxing weekend!!

This is the bed and breakfast we stayed at, The Inn and Snow Meadows. It was really nice and all the rooms are themed. We stayed in the Bohemian Suite.  The only thing that was kind of annoying was that you could hear EVERYTHING when you were in your room. The main floor had vaulted celings to the second floor so we could hear everything that was going on downstairs. It made me feel like home becuase of how loud mom is when she wakes up before everyone else!!

We were laughing in this picture becuase after I set the timer on the camera, I came to sit on Chris and must have been a little aggressice because we thought the chair was going to break. Oops!

It's all coming together nicely...

Chris and I were supposed to go to Bear Lake this past weekend to stay at a Bed and Breakfast but the weather was supposed to be a little frightful on Sunday so we decided to stay home and not risk our safety.  I'm really glad I have a husband that listens to the spirit! 

Becuase we were home all weekend though, we were able to get the baby's room done!  I think it looks AMAZING!  It turned out much better than it did in my head.  Chris worked non stop this weekend to finish, he's such a trooper.

I just had to throw this last picture in. This is what our spare bedroom looks like since it has turned into the storage room for all the furniture that belongs in the baby's room.  Now that the room is done though, we can start clearing that room out..............hopefully!

Heidi and Michael came over on Sunday and helped us get the dresser and crib up as well.  It definitely went a lot faster with 4 people working on it, or should I say 3......I don't think I was much help. :-)

I think the crib and dresser look awesome, I am so happy with the way they turned out! The room looks so bare right not, but once we get a mattress we can put the bedding on and start decorating. Now this is the fun part!
