Candids

This was right before Lily came home for the first time. She was so cute in her first outfit... though it was still way big.
Lily with her beautiful eyes open, she's so cute!
Lily and daddy, he is a VERY proud father, it's so wonderful. I enjoy watching him with her.
She had to go to the doctor today, and so I dressed her up. We were having fun with that. Thanks Janell for the super cute head band!

So, she has jaundice, and that's not the most fun. She's had to be in a special light bed all day when I'm not feeding her or changing her diaper. It's been hard because people have been wanting to come visit her, and they can't hold her. Hopefully she'll only have to do that for a day or so longer. I had to take her to get her blood drawn so they could check out how the jaundice is doing. I had to hold her while they pricked her heal. I didn't like it! NO fun!

We're loving it and she is so sweet! We've finally figured out how she eats and how she lets us know how that she is hungry. It was a little difficult before hand but it was still good! She is a very happy baby as long as she's fed! :) I think we're some proud parents...

Had a baby eeets a girl!

Don't get too excited

So yeah, I went to my doctor today, and well I'm only dilated to 3.5. I have walked so much, I was really surprised I wasn't any farther. So don't get too excited about me going into labor real soon. We'll have to see if I can go into labor with in this week. The nurse said if I had my baby this week she'll probably measure out to be in the higher 7 lbs. range. That sounds perfect to me! So let's really hope I go into labor THIS week, but I'm not keeping my fingers crossed!

Trying to pass the time...

So I guessed that I should probably take at least one more belly pic. This is me at 36 weeks.
Yesterday was SUU's Homecoming football game. Since I can get out now, we decided to go. Here is a shot of them playing. It was an intense game, but sadly, and yet quite expectantly, we lost. It was still fun to go out and cheer on SUU. We have also walked more this past weekend than we have I think since we got married, it's been a great weekend!
This is us watching the game! We were happy to be out and about!
Todd didn't like that last picture because you couldn't tell that we were at a football game, so he took this picture! I liked this picture though, because we were showing school spirit!

YAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!

Ok so I went to my doctor appt today. I'm dilated to a 3, and the bag is bulging! YAY! My doctor said I am free to do whatever I want now, well obviously with in reason. Sooooo I may just go into labor this weekend! lol Only because I'm going to be cleaning, walking, shopping anything that involves movement! So... my next post may just be with a picture of me and my daughter in my hands... holy cow that's awesome!

Just an update, I went to the doctor yesterday and I'm still where I was last week, which basically means that if I keep living the way I'm living I could go overdue with this baby.... So I only have 14 more days til I'm full term and on that day, I'm going WALKING!

Gibson's Birthday

So today marks one year since Gibson was delivered. I can't believe it has been a whole year! It went by really fast! I thought it would be cool if I went into labor today and then Gibson and Lily can share a birthday, but I'm not feeling it so we may have to wait. All I have to say is that I'm really happy I'm pregnant again and have the opportunity to bring our little girl into the world.

Going to Wal-mart

So I had to go to Wal-Mart yesterday and I'm not really able to walk around a lot, so instead we decided that I could use the little motorized cart. So here I am riding the cart in Wal-Mart. I felt like I was one of those big huge women that always get the carts... don't worry we were laughing the whole time, it was good!

Heads-up!

Ok so I'm sure you're probably getting sick of hearing about all my pregnancy problems, but I went to the doctor today and I am dilated to 2 1/2 cm and 50% effaced. My doctor is really worried about me and wants me to stay down and basically be on bed rest. I got to go get a steroid shot today, which wasn't the most comfortable thing ever, and I get to have another one tomorrow so if Lily does come early she can be able to breathe well. Once I'm at 34 weeks she won't be at such a high risk which is good, but he's going to try to get me to at least 36 - 37 weeks before I have her.. so wish me luck and pray for me and Lily!

Last Ultrasound!

I had my very last ultrasound today to see how Lily was doing! She is healthy and all is well! She already weighs 5 pounds which scares me. The nurse said she's gonna be a big baby! She is measuring a few days ahead of schedule so hopefully that means she'll come early :) or at least that's what I'm hoping! She has a lot of hair which makes me WAY excited and she's still a girl! I had her check one last time just to make sure we were buying the right color of items! We're super excited for her to get here and can't wait to hold her in our arms! Here are the pictures we got of her face, she was right against my uterus so her face looks a little smashed, and that's why. Don't worry she was giving us some funny faces! This picture was from 23 weeks but we really liked it because it was so cute! Todd stole it and I stole it back! HAHAH! But she was sucking her thumb during the ultrasound.... we'll have to work on that when she comes out!
This was at 33 weeks, her profile!

You can tell with her nose that her face is a little smashed up against the side of me... but she still cute!
You can see her little elbow in this one... if you can tell how to look at these things ;)

Yearbook Pics

We found this awesome website where you can upload a picture of you and then they will put your face into certain yearbook pictures from the 1950s up to 2000. Here are a couple of ours that we thought were awesome! This is what I would look like if I had lived in the 60s and what Todd would have looked like if he lived in the 70s. If you want a good laugh. go do this! It's way fun! www.yearbookyourself.com

33 Weeks!

I am officially 33 weeks now and we went to our first Prenatal Class last night. It was pretty fun! Todd was pretty bored though because he had sat through classes all day long so the last thing he wanted to do was sit in another class... poor guy! I loved it though!

Fours

So this was originally an email I got from Janell, but I decided to make it into a post instead, but I'm weird like that....

Four places that I go to over and over:
School, Church, Home, Wal-mart

Four people who e-mail me often... I'm gonna change that to call...:
Todd, My parents, my sister, Lab assistants....

Four of my favorite places to eat:
Olive Garden, Macaroni Grill, Costa Vida, DQ

Four places I would rather be right now:
In the hospital having a baby, NYC, the beach, in bed

Four people I think will respond:
I don't really care....

Four TV shows I watch over and over:
The Cosby Show, Ellen, Oprah, the news

I guess I might turn this into a tag... so I tag 4 people named Katelyn, Brittany, Lindsey, and hmmmm lets say... Jamie!

I'm SO grateful!

So I was just reading on a friend's blog from our ward and she wrote about someone else here in Cedar City that we know. He was in our singles ward and he has been married for maybe a year and a half. His wife is expecting, in fact she's due within the month, but apparently, he was in a plane crash with his father and another doctor and the doctor's daughter and they all died in the accident. It hit me like a ton of bricks! I can't even imagine that happening to me. I am just praying for his wife and his son that will be coming shortly. What a trying time for them. I am also full of peace because they were sealed in the temple, she will have him again, but she had him for such a short time! This has hit me pretty hard not only because we knew them and were friends but because I am also pregnant and I can't even imagine what I would do if I lost Todd today. It makes me so grateful for the blessings that our Heavenly Father has given us! It amazes me how hard life can be at times but how important it is to stay close to our Heavenly Father because he knows what we need and his works are most important. Our friend's name was Dallin Ellsworth and his wife is Kamber and they are definitely in our prayers. They are great people and there is some reason why Heavenly Father needs Dallin now and that is more important than what is here on earth.

This totally puts into perspective what our priorities should be! I am so grateful for my beautiful family and for the love and friendships I have that surround me every day! I can't help but thank my Heavenly Father for the hardships that he has given me and what I have learned from them but to also thank him for the great and wonderful things he has given me either! I challenge all of you to go and kneel down now and thank your Heavenly Father for what he has blessed you with even if your kids are screaming or your so upset with a family member, at least they are here and you can hug them and love them!

The Hiding Place

So yesterday we received our next movie on our netflix list. It was The Hiding Place. Neither Todd nor I had seen the movie, but it seemed like it would be a good pick. It's an older movie, I think it was made in the 70s but wow, what a great movie! It's about a family in the Netherlands during WWII. They are true Christians! They aren't Jews obviously but they decide that it's not right to just throw them to the way side, so they start taking Jews into their home. The father of the family even wears the Jewish Star because he says if you're going to wear one, I'm going to wear one! Well, I won't ruin the movie for you, but if you haven't seen the film, I STRONGLY suggest you do! The message presented is amazing and I can't even begin to contemplate the faith they had during the hard times! One member of the family was still alive when they made the film and so she gives a little message at the end, I went away from watching it with a whole new perspective on life and felt like I could do a WHOLE lot better with my faith and lifestyle!

worries and thoughts as a new time of year approaches

So school is starting soon, and it's such a strange feeling that I'm not going back. This is the first time in 15 years that I haven't gone back to school in the fall. I don't know how to take it! I know that I'll be going back in January and that helps a little, but mostly, I'm kind of in limbo. Lily isn't here yet and won't be for another month or so. I talked to my boss and he's so awesome I'm going to be getting the maximum I can get while school is in session. In fact, I've been working on the schedule and it's such a pain. So many people want so many different things and it's hard to give them all what they want! It's kind of funny because my boss has kind of given me a lot of responsibility in the job. I got to help hire people and interview. With that though I had to tell people that we didn't hire them or that we couldn't interview them, a hard thing to do! Do any of you have any ideas of what I can do as in hobbies or crafts. I'm not good at crafty things. I try to scrapbook, but I really have no creativity. I want to make maybe a baby blanket or something, but I have PLENTY of blankets, and I don't know how motivated I would be to get it done. I don't have a sewing machine or room for a quilt so I'm kind of at a loss... if you have any ideas let me know!

Fiddler on the Roof!

Last night, Todd and I had the opportunity to go see Fiddler on the Roof at the Shakespearean Festival here in Cedar City. It was AMAZING! I haven't actually seen the play in action since my freshman year in high school when I was performing in it. Can I just say how fun that was?! It was the first time that I've gone to see a play that I performed in. It was great! The cast was fantastic and they had great talent. The man who played Tevye was so good! It was fun because I saw a few people who actually attend SUU in the cast so it was a little exciting that way. We got the tickets for free from my awesomely grate-like-cheese friend, Stephanie Argyle! She is working for the festival this summer and gave us to two tickets and the seats were FANTASTIC! Thanks so much Stephanie! They were so good we were surrounded by rich old people. I felt important! If you get the chance to come see a play down here, I highly suggest Fiddler as an option!

My Baby Shower!

This was me with all the presents and my awesome friends who threw the shower!
The DELICIOUS food! Oh goodness it was good!
The one game we played.. hehe
Family that was there! They are so much fun! Some of my favorite cousins-in-law! ;)
Me opening presents... it was great! Thanks everyone for coming to the shower and for all the gifts that you gave! Thanks Ashley, Emily, and Jesse for the awesome shower! I really appreciate it and it made me super excited for her to come! Too excited, because these next 10 weeks might just take a lot longer than I thought. If you haven't gotten the information, my shower that was scheduled for the 16th, this Saturday has been postponed. It'll happen sometime after she gets here. We're both way excited for her to come now that we have all the pink and frilly stuff!

30 Weeks!

Here I am at 30 weeks! I'm still growing and she's still kicking! Good fun!
