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!
