The Last One!

Here's the very last belly shot of little girl. I'm 39 weeks, well I will be tomorrow but I am going to be INDUCED on THURSDAY!!! Yuppers, that means that I have only 2 more days of waddling left!
My Doc decided that with my BP still high in office (in fact it was so high today she almost wanted to take me today!) and since Little Girl is looking amazing and ready for life we'll just end the pregnancy before something bad can happen. So that's the big news!

I also had my last ultrasound (since I've been having them every other week for the past 3 months) today and we have never been able to see her face until today! she finally gave us a peek. But I'm going to make ya'll wait until she's born to add suspense. (actually it's mostly because I'm too lazy to scan in the Ultrasound pic)

I guess that means that I should probably finish packing, put the car seat in the car, and oh yeah, maybe pick out a name.

Wish us luck!!!

My Fair Babies

Looks like I just do monthly posts so here's the post for August!!

Baby Baby

I'm officially 35 weeks tomorrow! crazy! Things are going really good. I've been having an ultrasound every week for the past month or so just to check things and make sure nothing scary creeps up but everything's been perfect so far! They say she's measuring about 2 weeks small size wise, but developmentally she right on track. I'd post pics of the US but she always has her face smooshed up against the wall every time we try to take a pic. so she looks like an alien squishy thing. Too bad. But maybe that means she will be a cuddly baby instead of my very anti-cuddle, only snuggles when he's about to throw up, son.

This pic was taken last week at 34 weeks. Getting bigger!



Down at the County Fair

Conner and I went to the Davis county fair a few weeks ago with some other ladies in the ward. We all entered our kids into the cutest baby contest and I was pretty sure Conner would win because let's be honest, he WAS the cutest baby at the fair. But they must not have seen him because he didn't win a darn thing:( but he did get a little sand bucket and shovel which was a win in his eyes!

Standing up on stage being judged. we probably didn't win because he had this stone cold look on his face the whole time. Maybe I should have put vaseline on his teeth.

 Next we went to the petting zoo thing. Conner had fun seeing all of the animals up close.



Eventually he and his little friend decided that it was way more fun to sit on the ground and pick up the little black marbles on the floor. That was our cue to leave!

On the way home! Still smiling after being forced to be in a beauty pagent, walking around in 100 degree temps and missing a nap. What a trooper! (and don't worry, the black on his face is from a cookie, not from the magical marbles in the petting zoo)

A trip to Logan

We went to Logan a weekish ago for a baby shower for a friend and a fun day of visiting friends we hadn't seen in a while.

Conner and Daddy had lots of fun riding around on the scooter!

Who knew grocery shopping could be so fun!

Also on Saturday I had a baby shower that some great friends in my ward threw. I have absoutly no pictures to show for it but it was lots of fun and I got some cute little girly clothes:) I still need to get some more clothes and do some other things to get ready for this baby but I think we're getting there! I should hope so since I'm one week away from the magical time of  "I could explode at any time" 36 weeks. I totally wish that the nesting thing kicked in sooner because I have lots to do, I even wrote a list yesterday so I could cross things off as motivation to do it, but all I want to do is lay on the couch and watch Conner play with a cardboard box.  oh well.

Oh and also we bought a second car this month! Yay! We have only had one car since we have lived here so I've been somewhat stranded during the week days at the house. But now I can venture out during the days which is super duper exciting! I keep forgetting to take pictures of it but it's a silver  '05 Chevy Malibu. And if you are like me and that means nothing to you it just looks like a little silver car.

Even MORE Adventures!

My oh my I'm behind on my blogging, and it's only been a month! But it's been suuuuper busy. Lots and lots of pictures, you've been warned.

Baby News and Big Boy Beds

As far as baby things go we got the nursery completely painted just before the 4th of July. Well I actually just lied, we got all but the stripes painted and then the next weekend we did those. I was allowed to stand outside in the hall and take pictures and supervise because I'm crazy.

Tada! pretty cute if you ask me!

 Now the hard part...telling Conner that it's time to give up his beloved crib (and possibly his naps. oh no for me!) for a big boy bed. We told him that it was time for him to share his crib with his baby and that he would get a new big boy bed! He helped take it apart, move it out and put it back together. He was so excited. The whole time he kept saying "baby coming!"

The ruffle curtains in progress that I'm making. I'll post when they're done!

Helping put together his big boy bed. Sorry I don't have a finished pic. silly me!  We got this bed from Rusty's parents. It's old as old but it works and Conner loves it. We haven't had any problems! He naps great still (thank goodness!) and he even stays put until mom or dad comes into his room to get him when he's awake!

And last but not least the side shot for the month. 30 (almost 31!) weeks and counting! Gosh I really hope this gray and white striped shirt can handle another 2 mohths!

Dr things are going ok. I failed the first glucose test (the orange drink thing) so I had to go back and do a 3 hour test. I had to fast for at least 6 hours before hand (but I just went in the morning so I fasted from dinner the night before on) and basically I had my blood drawn and then had to hurry and drink the melted Popsicle drink and then had to come back every  hour for the next 3 hours and get poked each time. Not too fun. I took Conner with me and we just ran errands in between since we had the car and then afterwards I treated my starving pregnant self to Cafe Rio. so it was all totally worth it! (sort of) Luckily I passed that one so I don't have to worry about gestational Diabetes, but my doc still wants me to be careful of what I eat just to be safe since I failed it the first time.

I had an ultrasound a few weeks ago and she's measuring small (surprise surprise) but still in the normal range. and that's about it!

4th of July Festivities

For the 4th we went to the annual Oakley parade and rodeo with Rusty's fam.

At the parade

Awe

Conner's first ice cream cone. He did great and loved every bit of it 

messy face

This is Conner's loot from the parade. He's pretty protective of it.

Later that day we played with water with cousins in the backyard. Lots of fun!

At the rodeo

Outside Adventures
We have been love love loving our backyard. It's so nice to let C just run around out there.

He loves his "big truts" and rocks.

We got him a little pool and he loves it! Conner calls it "Connie's turdie poo"

Playing with daddy

Conner won a giant lolly pop at a carnival we went to a few weeks ago. He ate the whole thing (and then was up all night)

For the 24th we went camping (we went in the morning) with my family to my uncle's Yurt up in Heber. My sister Angie also came to visit from Vegas as well this last week but silly me didn't take any pics of any of it! But it was fun for Conner to see his cousin he doesn't see very much. Thanks for visiting Ang!

And that's what we've been up to! It's been busy but lots of fun. 

Compare and Contrast

Alright, so I know that I say it every time that I update about this pregnancy but here is living proof that I am way more huge and elephanty this time around than with Conner.

Not that I'm complaining because I love love love my (not so) little bump but I'm pretty sure I'm almost to the size that I was when I HAD Conner.

So anyway, I haven't updated the pregnancy for a while and because I know you all want to know...it's going great! we're down to 3 more months! crazy! I had my dr apt 2 weeks ago and my blood pressure's been so fantastically amazing she took me off of my stinky bug meds! I'm so excited! I had to make an appointment for 2 weeks later (which would be today) and still monitor every day but she said that I could cancel it if it was good. I canceled it on Friday :) So hopefully everything will go well from here on out.

So anyway, in other baby news, because of my Pre-E history I will be having an ultrasound at every appointment to check growth, etc. to make sure that we catch anything bad before it happens (if it happens) Which I'm not one bit sad to peak and this little girl every few weeks!

Also, after this next appointment (at 28 weeks) in 2 weeks I'll start going in every 2 weeks for the rest of the time instead of just the last monthish.

We also are planning on painting the nursery this week!:) We started clearing it out (because it currently is the scary "out of sight out of mind" room) and yesterday I even started taping it off! Hooray! I'm kind of super control freak with it comes to my artsy/decorating visions and since I'm not allowed at all to paint (I'd be surprised if Rusty lets me even be inside when he paints) at least I can make sure it's taped good! If all goes according to plan we (Rusty) will start painting it tomorrow:)

Yesterday Conner pointed to my tummy and said "baby coming" which was Soooooo cute. I still don't know if he knows what's going on because then he pointed to Rusty's tummy and said "baby" but it was still cute.

And that's the baby updates for now!!!

It's raining baby stuff

I had my first baby shower on wed. Feb 17th. My good friends Esther and Jenilyn from Stork Landing (work) threw it for me and it turned out great! Thanks to all of my friends in Logan who made it. I got tons of fun stuff for still nameless baby boy. I'm starting to feel a little more prepared now.

Just a few of the SUPER cute outfits I got for him. I love baby clothes!

Look at that pile! my goodness. Thanks!!!!

You can only see part of it but this was supposed to be a shot of Esther's (left) quilt she made me. It's really really cute!

It's a....

BOY!!!! We had our big ultrasound yesterday (the 19th) and everything is "going perfect" according to the doctor and ultrasound tech. They checked all of the vitals and organs and such and everything was going great! He is currently about the size and weight of a can of pop if that puts anything in perspective. He was being a little silly. Everytime the tech would try to see what he was he would shift or cross his legs or turn his back. But eventually we got it! So anyway, here are some awesome pictures.

There is no hiding it here. It is a deffinately a boy!

This is one of Rusty's favorite. It our little boy kissing his guns.
His little legs. (eventhough he is crossing his legs we could still luckly see what he is)

Awe, a face! Pretty sure he has my eyes.

Oh baby...

Well for those of you who don't know...I'm having a BABY! We are finally starting to tell people and couldn't be more excited. Sorry if I lied right to your face, I probably really wanted to tell you. I am due April 9, 2010 (almost 13 weeks along) and doing really well. I haven't even been very sick (sorry to people who were when preggo, don't hate me) I'm kinda just in the stage where I'm starting to look a little fat but not really pregnant, so hopefully now that you know you can think twice before planning an intervention for my eating habbits. But anyway here is the first picture of our little jelly bean taken at 11 weeks. Here are the proud (I hope:S) grandparents-to-be. We told them on Aug. 30 right after my mom's B-day. We gave her a "birthday" present which was a bib about going to grandmas. As excited as I was to tell Rusty's family I wanted to tell my parents first because, well, they're my parents! I had a cute "I love grandma" bib that I was going to give the next week, but I called to see if they would be home that weekend and at the time they were planning on being in Lake Powell. We were on the road to visit Rusty's family when I found out they would be out of town so this little bump in our telling them first plan sent us flying to Babie's R Us to get any sort of bib that had anything to do with a grandma. We found this little one and made an unplanned but fun stop in Orem to spill the beans. This is going to be their first grandbaby so I think they're still getting used to the idea but are excited. When we told Rusty's family we told them the next weekend on Sept. 6th(the origional of telling my parents) which was the day of our new nephew's baby blessing. We waited until all of the "other" family was gone and just Rusty's was there and had a little present for our nephew. I designed the logo on the onesie saying "I'm getting a new baby cousin" and did an iron on print transfer. It was super duper fun.
