the wait is over...

This is for all of you that have requested pics of my big belly....This is what 35 weeks looks like!

child birth education

So we have been taking a child birth class and every week they make one of the guys wear the "sympathy belly" so that they can get a taste of what its like to be pregnant. (like they will ever be able to know what its like!) Chris may kill me if he sees this, but its so hilarious i just had to let you all see....enjoy

baby shower

I had my first of three baby showers yesterday.  Im also having one in a couple of weeks that my sister in law is throwing for that side of the family.  Also its pretty funny because Chris' work peeps are throwing us a shower, and im pretty sure my work isn't planning on doing one.  Anyway it was really fun, and my baby is already a spoiled little girl!  Here is a look at the mound of presents that i got!  woo hoo! Showers are the best!

Our place finally coming together

So we were finally able to move into the in laws basement!  For a couple of months we were living in a room upstairs with the family while most of our stuff was in storage.  Lets just say it was a dark and dreary part of my life that really tested my patience.  Im thinking God is trying to teach me a lesson on patience since im going to be a mamma soon.  Im sure Im going to need a lot of it!  Well here are some pictures of the new place.....All we need now is our kitchen sink and our washer and dryer....Im getting pretty anxious since baby is almost here!  I didn't take a picture of our room cuz to be honest its a mess right now.  Its hard working full time and being 8 mos pregnant, my cleaning has been slipping a bit.....

Christmas.....summed up

Geez i haven't blogged since thanksgiving! I have some catching up here to do......so i know Christmas was a long time ago but here is what went down:

Chris and I went down to my mom& step dads in St. George.  We were hoping to escape to warmer weather but it was almost just as cold as Salt Lake and it actually snowed there one day.  We had a good time hanging out with my family....we of course played some mean games of rummikub.  To make things even better Chris suprised me with the best christmas gift ever!  He made it sound like he didn't know what to get me, and we told each other that we weren't going to spend very much money.....so i was very surprised when i opened up my new iphone!!!! I was so shocked!  Also i got a sewing machine from my mom, and a bunch of other cool stuff i wasn't expecting.  I really got spoiled....I did pretty good with surprising Chris too.  I got him rock band 2 ( he was suprised because im not a huge fan of video games).  Anyway, i posted the first picture that i took with my beloved iphone on christmas day....I was really striking a pose!

Black Friday

So this was the first year that i have ever gone shopping the day after thanksgiving.  Probably because i really like to sleep and can't handle getting up so early.  This year i was after the cricut expression scrapbooking machine.  They were on sale for a really good deal at Roberts.  Chris and I woke up at 4 am so that we could get a good spot in line.  We had a dilemma because we also wanted a dyson vaccum from target.  Chris' sister was going to target so we gave her money to get us a dyson so we wouldn't have to risk the dyson's being gone after we had bought the cricut....anyway....it was really funny cuz we were there so early and i was so worried that we wouldn't get a good spot in line.  When we got there, there were hardly any people there so we got a good spot (like 8th) in line.  It was actually pretty exciting because the line got really long and we were some of the first people in the store and the people just poured in!  We rushed to get the machine and it was crazy with how many people were scrambling for stuff!  Although i was exhausted the rest of the weekend for waking up so early, I think i will be a lifelong black friday shopper.  Even though i felt like a huge nerd in line at Roberts so early it was worth it!  We got the cricut and the dyson so we were happy.

Thanksgiving

So this thanksgiving was spent at my in laws...aka my new home.  Chris and I have been here since November first.  We were planning on staying in this room that we are in for a couple of weeks until the basement was finished....the two weeks has turned into a whole month.   I am trying to be patient but it is really difficult having all of our stuff in storage since we weren't planning on being with out it for this long.  We are now hoping it's at least finished by Christmas cuz i am going nuts!  Especially with a baby on the way, I am really wanting to make by baby "nest".  Besides that it really hasn't been to bad living with the in laws.  I really like Chris' family so it has been pretty fun.  I posted some pictures from thanksgiving.  Me being tired and pregnant, Cece and nephew Declan, Chris enjoying his pie.
