Projects, Organizing, Nesting and Cleaning!

We have had the majority of the babe's nursery done for some time now, but have been procrastinating one of the final projects. Hence, the reason I have not posted any pictures yet. It needs to be complete first. I wanted to have a bright piece or furniture in the nursery so we decided to repaint a dresser that we had. We have been so busy with other stuff it kinda took the back burner. So this last weekend I was bound and determined to get it done...getting a little worried the baby would arrive before the room was done- NOT GOOD! I love how it turned out and there will be pictures of the nursery soon to come.


Looking pretty excited there Dad!

Two days shy of 39 weeks...race to finish before the babes arrives!

Friday was my final day of work before my maternity leave. The baby must know his mom needed a couple of days to nest, organize, finalize projects, and clean! I was worried he would make his appearance the day I finished work...So it is pretty nice having a couple of "free" days!

Getting Closer!

Crazy to say this, but time is actually still going pretty fast. This baby boy is going to be here in no time. As exhausting as work is for me right now, it really does make the pregnancy time go quickly. I had a doctor's appointment on Friday and I was dilated to a 1 and 70% effaced; Doc predicts I will deliver before my due date...but we will see! Tuesday I am 37 weeks and considered full term, so any time now. I will start my maternity leave from work on August 12th. I keep saying with my luck he will decide to make his grand entrance as soon as I go on maternity leave (maybe even within hours...) giving me no "down time" or extra "nesting time."

I had a WONDERFUL weekend with my mom being here in Logan and my awesome mother in law hosting my baby shower here. We are so blessed to have so many friends and family help us get prepared for the babes to arrive. After this shower I really do feel like we have everything we need. Just a few finishing touches we need to take care of in the nursery (pictures to come soon, as soon as it is officially finished!) and Blake is in the process of making (yes making- he has a new hobby) our cradle! We could not be more excited!!

36 1/2 WEEKS!

What a good looking Grandma to be..

My hot baby daddy!

4th of July

We were able to carry out our yearly tradition with the Brown family for the 4th! Oakley Rodeo, BBQs, Park City and a small town parade! Not gonna lie, the first 45 minutes of the Rodeo were a bit torturous with the heat, but after that it was perfect! The rodeo is always entertaining and Josh loves to be able to enjoy a Rodeo Burger and Cotton Candy- I seriously hear him the entire day before, "Can't wait for the Rodeo Burger!" Not that great in my opinion, but I am not the best critic when it comes to burgers... Weather was a little stormy on the 4th, which was fine by me as we sat and watched the parade through Oakley.

At the Parade!

Now that the month of July is here, we can officially say the baby will be her NEXT month- CRAZY!

Boise Baby Shower

A couple weeks ago my Aunt Heidi threw me a baby shower in Boise. I am so grateful or all the family and friends that were able to come. Babies truly are expensive, and I am so appreciative of all the generous gifts we received. Getting all "baby prepped" is starting to make me feel very EXCITED about the little boy coming soon! Can't wait for our life to be flipped upside-down - in a good way! Thanks again Auntie Heidi for having the shower and to my mom for all her help!


My girlfriends that were able to come!

Me and Mama (Grandma-to-be!)

5 great years... and many more to come!

Hard to believe that is was 5 years ago that we were married! Time sure has flown by... time really does fly when you are having FUN! That is one of my favorite things about Josh, he makes our life fun. When I get stressed, he lightens the load by making me laugh and reminding me that life is too short to stress the little things.

I am so grateful for Josh and all that he does for me. With our new little addition coming soon I can't wait to see what life has in store ahead of us. Josh is great with kids and is going to make the best Dad. Thanks for all you do Josh, can't wait to spend the rest of FOREVER with you! Love you! xoxo

twenty eight weeks!

I cannot believe how fast time is flying by! I am now 28 weeks and feel pretty good overall. I am not getting nearly as many headaches, and some days I feel like I have much more energy. The belly is for sure getting bigger...bending down to pick something up is becoming more of a task and my feet quickly get sore (no swelling in my feet though, not yet at least!) Baby boy is getting bigger too, which means his movements are much easier to feel- I LOVE THAT! I am getting more and more excited to meet our little guy everyday!

24 Weeks!

The baby boy is growing, as evident by my stomach. All is well with mama and the baby. Time is actually going pretty quick. As each day gets closer, I get more excited. I am feeling him kick all the time now, so that is pretty awesome. We still have a nameless little one, but I am sure we will come up with a name in the next few months.

Overall, I have been feeling pretty good. TIRED, however I fully understand that will not be going away anytime soon.
