37+ Weeks & Sneak Peak

Well we’ve got about two and a half weeks to go. Well I hope that is all. My last three appointments haven’t been too great. No progress. Which is pretty much the most depressing news when you’re this big and this anxious for her to just come. I really had high hopes of her coming early, possibly Thanksgiving and then today I pretty much realized I’ll be lucky to get her out on my due date. Either way I really think it’ll come very quick. It’s such a busy time of the year. I cannot believe it’s already thanksgiving and black Friday and then December.  Chad says I can’t do black Friday this year because he thinks I will get trampled and die or something but I am still determined to find at least one good deal.

This last week my sisters, mom and friends threw me a baby shower. It was so much fun and this little girl was spoiled. We got lots of things we needed and just lots of cute things. You never can have enough clothes. We are almost done with the nursery and it’s coming right along. We’re just waiting on her name that’s going over the crib and the frames for a little photo wall. Hopefully that’ll all be ready, done and hung all up by this weekend. I took a few little photos for a sneak peak. I was so happy with how the bedding turned out and my $15 di chair we recovered. I was a little scared to wash all my baby clothes afraid that she might just pop out to be a boy but today I just said oh well and washed everything. Chad and I set up the stroller this last week too and today we went and bought a couple hundred of diapers to start us off. Great sale at Target.

Don't mind the trash just on the chair.

As for the rest of the week. Little Griff has a basketball game in Cedar tomorrow so back to the car I go. At least it’s really not too far. I’m really not liking going to public events because people just tell me how miserable I look and I know I look like a monster and I don’t like people seeing me this way. After that though my family is coming back down to St George for Thanksgiving and the rest of the weekend. Yay!! Also, Connor Chad’s little brothers mission farewell is this upcoming Sunday so Chad’s whole family will also be down for Thanksgiving and the weekend. We’re so sad to see little Connor leave. I’m thinking my in laws are trying to put me into labor though because they are having 4 of Chad’s brothers and 5 cousins(boys) sleep at our house all week. This could be interesting.. Well, I’m hoping my next post is a post welcoming little baby Scotlynn but we’ll see. Pray for me that she comes ASAP. 

October

I haven’t blogged in a good month but I always feel like I need to have pictures to post in order to blog about it and considering I’m a huge whale I don’t exactly take many pictures these days. It’s been a while though so I wanted to give an update. I’ll give an October update since I think that’s where I’m at..

First weekend in October we took family pictures with the Hewards. Again. They love their family pictures. We took them six months ago and I couldn’t understand why we would do them again considering the only person that has changed was me with a whole bunch of weight. They wanted pictures again before Connor leaves on his mission. He leaves Dec. 7^th and the baby is due the 10^th but we are crossing our fingers it comes a little early. My only fear with this would be they would want family pictures again. Here are a few of the pictures. I stole them off Mandee’s blog so they aren’t the best quality but she sure did a good job!

October seems like a big blur. I am really having to think hard of what else happened. At least the month went fast. On the 21^st we went down to Vegas for my birthday! Chady surprised me with a really nice room in the Palaza and some show tickets. We had so much fun together and just shopping all weekend. The baby of course got more than me but what do you expect when there are so many cute baby clothes and you barely fit in anything. My mom, Bailey, Brittany & Lindie came down too spur of the moment. We got to shop a little with them and go to dinner but Chad had lots of things already planned. All and all it was a very good Birthday! Big 21!

The next weekend we got to go to Richfield for Bailey’s Birthday and Halloween. Still no pictures. L Chad and I were lame and didn’t even dress up. We told ourselves we would never let that happen again. Bailey turned the big 18 and we got to celebrate with her. Her request for Sunday dinner was sandwich and soup. Chad was so confused because he does not think that is a meal. Especially a Sunday meal. I’m a big soup lover though so I was happy with the pick.

We left Richfield Tuesday, Chad left to Arizona Wednesday and so I came back Thursday. Ha can’t get enough of Richfield. I tried the whole sleep alone thing and it was not going to go down another night. I had to turn off the heat because when it would kick on and off it would scare me. I had the TV blasting all night. I left like 10 lights on and locked the doors twenty times. Needless to say I hate being home alone.

It’s November now though and that’s great news. I honestly can’t believe how fast this whole pregnancy has gone by. I’m praying this last month doesn’t drag on but I really don’t think it will. My doctor said he would strip me the week of Thanksgiving and see where that puts me. I’m really really hoping she is just ready and I have her soon after. Chad and I talk about it everyday how crazy it is that we are having a child. We are so excited though and just want her here now. I’ve been reading a lot lately and I think kind of freaking myself out. My mom was showing me some pictures last night in one of her pregnancy books and I almost just died. I don’t know how a women recovers after a child is pushed right out of her. Oh boy. I want to blog more and be better about pictures. I know once Scotty is here I will have more than enough pictures to post. I have a doctor’s appointment Monday and we are hoping for the best. Hopefully by next week the nursery can be mostly done and I will post some pics of that. Can’t wait!
