Baby

So we went to the doctor this morning and he seemed pretty confident that our baby will be coming this week!  Hooray!  I'm at a 2.5 and 90% effaced.  Can't wait!

Random Photos

I have some random photos I meant to post, but never did.  So... here they are!

Here is Dan at Christmas.  I don't think I even posted about our Christmas!  We stayed in St. George and enjoyed a nice Christmas morning together.  Then we headed over to Dan's parents house for a delicious dinner.  We also saw the movie "Wreck it Ralph" on Christmas Eve, which I thought was really cute.

Here is Dan's real Christmas present, a piano!  It's something we both have been wanting for a long time.  We finally have a house to put it in, so we got one!  It came a few days after Christmas and we love it!  For those who don't know, my husband is an amazing pianist (yep, I can brag about him!).  I love hearing him play!  He often comes home from work now and plays the piano while I make dinner.  Occasionally I even try to play a hymn or primary song.  I'm hoping to get better!  If only I had practiced more when I was younger.

The other morning I woke up early and an orange glow was coming through my blinds.  I looked outside and this is what I saw!  Beautiful!  I love where I live.

And lastly, this is me saying "I am 39 weeks and huge!"  Baby girl is due this week!  I can't believe this pregnancy is almost over.  I will try to keep everyone posted on what's going on.  Hopefully she decides to come this week, but maybe she'll be late.  Dan came on his due date and I came 8 days late.  We'll see who she takes after :).

38 weeks...

and ready to pop!  That's how I feel anyway :)

Hey, maybe this will be the last maternity photo I post!  Who knows how much longer baby plans on staying in there.  The Dr. checked me again yesterday.  Dilated to a 1 and 80% effaced.  We're ready for her whenever she decides to show up.

And my latest project...

Vinyl birds for the nursery!  I love how it turned out.  I had never cut vinyl that big on my Silhouette before, but it turned out to be pretty easy.  Hope baby likes it!  

Baby Update

I'm just about 36 weeks!  I can't believe we are getting so close to meeting our sweet baby girl!  I am now down to having doctors appointments every week.  I went in this morning and everything still looks great.  I am about 50% effaced, but not dilated at all.  My doctor thinks she will come right around her due date.  Which is fine by me, I've still got lots to do!  I've been working on the nursery and freezer meals lately.

Most recent belly pic- 35 weeks. I am growing out of my maternity clothes!

And congrats to my sister, Noelle (and her husband Jared), who just had her baby!  He was born on New Years Eve.  That makes 3 nephews in my family born on New Years Eve (the other 2 are twins).  We always joked about having our babies on the same day, but her baby decided to come 2 1/2 weeks early.  Welcome to the family, baby Calvin!
