1 month to go and I have a pantry!

It's already October! My due date is in one month - crazy! My maternity session is supposed to be all edited, so I'm just waiting to see the pics from that. I'm excited, but nervous. My hair basically went psycho that night. And then it was windy and it was blowing all over in my face. So we'll see how they turn out!

We're still waiting on the crib and the glider to get here. I'm starting to get nervous - what if this kid comes early? I am not ready at all. This week I am going to master the car seat. As in, figure out how to put it in the car. And get it back out. And sew some stuff. And pack my bag for the hospital. And put up curtains. And continue to LOVE not having to go to work! Maternity leave is the best.


Here's me at 34 weeks:

And 35 weeks.

I caught her moving around and I thought it was funny.

Here my belly is square ...

And here ... it's not ...

It's crazy how far out they can push sometimes - I had no idea and now I wonder if people ever see my belly moving around or if they're as oblivious as I was before I got pregnant.

The most exciting thing happened yesterday. Clark had just written an awful accounting final Friday, but on Saturday afternoon he did THIS:

Before:

After:

This isn't actually the final stage - they added shelves on the right later that night, after the Priesthood Session.

I can finally put food in there! It's been crammed into about 7 different places in the kitchen, and I could never see what I had or find anything. So, yesterday was an awesome day thanks to my awesome husband and his awesome father and brother. Thanks guys!!! :)

30 and 32 weeks

September is here! I am loving the weather - I'm so glad it hasn't turned cold and ugly yet.

I haven't blogged for a few weeks so here are two updates:


30 Weeks

Around 30 weeks I had a few crazy dreams. I don't usually remember dreams, but there were definitely a couple that made me wonder what was going on in my brain! Got the stroller, car seat, a diaper genie. Not much else is ready yet. She moves around a lot - I haven't had to worry about her not moving at all.

31 weeks

I shot my brother-in law's wedding and that went really well. Harder than usual to bend over and get down and up but I had an awesome helper that made things easier. Thanks Amy! Only one more coming up for the year.

Aren't they the cutest couple?

32 Weeks

The last couple of weeks this little girl has had the hiccups a bit - at my doctor's appointment I could hear them with her heartbeat when my doctor used the Doppler. Of course I think it's cute. Clark and I took a prenatal class - he actually came to 3 of 4 classes! It did make me feel a little better about the whole birth thing, even though I have no idea how it will go. Our instructor was really good and we actually enjoyed the class. She has started to be able to hook her little feet (or hands? I think it's her feet) under my ribs, especially if I'm laying on my side. It's amazing how much they can move your stomach around. I'm always trying to get Clark to feel it - usually as soon as he touches my belly she stops. He's felt a few good kicks though, and he's seen her moving. He said it's kinda weird, but cool.

I have my maternity shoot tomorrow and I'm not sure what the heck I'm going to wear. I just got my hair done and it's pretty red - hopefully I don't have a glowing red head in the pictures. I've really wanted these done but I can't stand my hair lately (as in the last few months) or do anything with it so pictures might just be a disaster. We'll see! Luckily my Bella Bands got here in the mail - why didn't I get them sooner?! All of my tank tops are getting too short to actually cover this big belly so these are a lifesaver. And anything stretchy to help smooth out my love handles is a winner these days.

It's still kind of surreal to think that I'm actually pregnant. I sometimes feel like I'm too young to be having a baby. No one in my family waited this long to have a baby so I don't know why. I'm sure bringing her home will make it pretty real. ;) We do have a name picked out and we're very excited to meet her!

28 Weeks and goodbye Bri

I'm always a little behind on these "weeks" posts - today I'm actually 29 weeks but these are pictures from last week.

My little sister has already gone down to St. George for school, but the day before she left we had a big family dinner at my parent's house. And, I made her take these pics of me.

Not as good in front of the camera. Remind me of that if I ever do this pose for you.

 This kid is growing.

 And then Bri wanted to see if she could look as pregnant as I do:

Love my little sis - I'm going to miss this girl like crazy!!

My Day Off

I have two weeks of vacation days built up, but it's so hard to get away from a rec job in the summer! Clark has 3-4 hours of homework every night to get done for his CASB assignments each week, and he doesn't have any vacation, so that has made it hard to make any vacation plans, too. So, I took one day off!

My little sister Bri is taking off for Utah to go to school, so we had one last family outing to Waterton before she left.

Grandpa and Gavin. 

Almost all of the girls!

This baby girl's first hike in Waterton.

Yup, still prego. 28 weeks.

Gav was a trooper! :)

Clark wants one of her puppies. I wasn't the only prego on the hike.

Shoe shopping. Gotta measure to get the right size!

Out of order? Not a problem.

A little mother-son competition.

My baby sis who's leaving us for Utah.

All tuckered out.

Barnwell Days

I went out to Barnwell for Barnwell Days on the 24th. Clark stayed home and did homework, lucky guy. My younger sisters (in light pink) were all in the parade with my nephew. If your kids want candy, take them to the Barnwell parade - the kids there were happy kids.

Poor kid is going blind:

Here he's saying "Hi Grandpa! Hi Grandpa!"

The happy parade people:

I was determined to get one picture of me during the day. Me & Gav.

 

I missed the pink memo...

There's the bump: 

It was nice to see some Barnwell people again - I don't make it out there much these days!
