Well, I am still here and I am still heavy with child...and life is good. I just thought I should let you all know that there is only 10 more days until my due date--which is so exciting and so weird all at the same time! Billy and I lay in bed at night and just say, "Can you really believe that we are going to have a baby?!" It is the strangest feeling. Monday I went to the doctor and they measured and checked me. The baby is measuring a little bit small...but nothing to be worried about. (And believe me I would much rather push out a baby that was a little bit small!) The doctor said everything looks good. He said I was dilated to about a fingertip (I am sorry if that seems gross to say...deal with it.) I was hoping to be progressing more than that...but he said I was feeling soft. (Note quite as "green" as the week before. They say it is like a ripening peach. Lovely I know!) So I guess that things are moving along. I have a few little contractions here and there...but nothing huge. My family is in Lake Powell this week and so they are all glad that things are moving slowly. And to be honest so am I. Don't get me wrong...I would hate to see my due date come and go without this child, but I am okay with a few more days of prep time. People keep saying to me, "Oh I bet you are so uncomfortable and hot. You probably cannot wait to get that thing out." But guess what...I am not. I feel better now than I have my whole pregnancy. I mean sleeping is not quite as fun...but I am not throwing up...and I have been off my anti-nausea medication for a week and a half now! I must be crazy wanting to have this baby inside of me--but maybe--just maybe I am a little bit scared. I know everything will be fine...but I have to worry about everything and plan for the worst. Anyway...lots of babbling from the pregnant woman. Here are a few pictures of the house and other random happenings in the past week or so:
Billy's Brother Michael got home from his mission in Portugal. Doesn't he look great?! We held this sign proudly at the airport waiting for him and mom and dad to get off the plane.
Here he is straight off the escalator...and on the left is his sister amber...not just some random woman looking at him...I think she was first to steal a hug and rightfully so!
I just had to include this one for a good laugh! Look at how funny grandma's face is--ha! And here is Billy in his element...catching everything on the video camera. I think every picture of him from the airport has him holding up the camera...just wait until the baby comes! :) I love you Bill!
The house is coming along. Here is a picture of Me, Janelle, Hunter, Erin, and Bailey at our house almost 2 weeks ago. (Erin is up from Arizona with her kids and it has been so fun to see them!) I definitely have pregnant face in this one.
Well we will keep you posted on any new updates with the baby and delivery...but until then we are going to be spontaneous and enjoy life without a 20 pound diaper bag, stroller, carrier...and all of that other heavy stuff!
