Emry 35 Weeks

Alright it's been a little while since I've posted I think. I'm surprised I haven't been yelled at to write yet....jk

Last night around 10 I stood up and demanded that Devin take a picture of me with my cell phone. He did with one eye open. Did I forget to mention he was already asleep. oops. But I couldn't stand not having a picture in 5 weeks!!! I don't even have a mirror so I have no clue what I look like below my neck! Anyway here's the picture. It's not very good quality wise and I officially think I am very very fat again. My arms look so gross. But I look more pregnant which is a good thing. My tummy isn't really growing out anymore. It's growing sideways. Weird to imagine, but it is. Which just adds to my anxiety of I'm fat! thinking. Devin is constantly getting mad at me for saying that I am, but I feel so gross. 5 more weeks..........

This last weekend was my birthday so my mom and her husband came up and took us to dinner on Saturday night to celebrate Devin's(FEB 3) and my birthdays. It was so much fun!!! We ate then came home and introduced the Wii to them. They had a blast and I had a blast watching them. Then it was time for cake and bedtime. Then Sunday arrived. I like to stay up until midnight going into my birthday for some fun reason. Not to do anything special its just fun. I fell asleep this year. I was very sad. But Devin woke me up and told me happy birthday. I was happy again. Then he brought me Dr. Pepper in bed and gave me the greatest massage of my life. We just relaxed the whole day. It was fantastic. I love my husband so much. It's been a year since we started dating so we're having fun talking about on this day....such and such happened. His birthday was our first kiss so we have lots to celebrate that day. I can't wait! Okay I think I am rambling on and on now....

Thanks Mom for the Cake and presents! We love you and can't wait for you to move closer!!!

Forgotten...

I can't believe I forgot the biggest thing I have been looking forward to for ten months now!!!! Devin and I will finally be getting sealed!!!! We're so excited to take little Emry to the temple and seal our little family together. I can't believe I forgot....Bad Wife!

Thats all folks

Emry 32 Weeks

I'm not counting down or anything.....

We still haven't retrieved our camera from wherever it's hiding in Logan so I have the ultrasound pictures from my doctor visit on Monday. If you look at the top picture enough times, you'll start to see Devin in the baby's features! Cool Huh! Devin was able to come to the visit and meet our doctor so I was very happy about that. I go back again on the 19Th. We're definitely getting closer to truly amazing changes!! I'm so excited!

On the news front, Devin started working today. Yes, he's back at FedEx. He doesn't enjoy the job but he got the route he wanted at the pay he wanted so hopefully that makes up for me making him go back to FedEx. I'm a lot less stressed knowing he has a job while he looks for whatever he really wants to do. Well as long as I don't have to buy any more snowmobiles.

My mother lives down in American Fork currently but is buying a house close to where we live in Clearfield so I am super excited to have help so close by when the baby comes. I am extremely scared of being a first time Momma without my own Momma there to tell what the heck to do with a baby!

Other that this still being the sick season, not too much else has happened. We did finally make our first of the expensive baby purchases. We got a Graco infant car seat. I love it! We figured if we buy the expensive things one at a time we won't notice the big hit to the income as much.....fingers crossed that we actually don't notice...ya I know

We went down to West Valley last night to have dinner with some of my girlfriends at Applebee's. It was so much fun!! I am trying my hardest to get in as much time with people now because I know I won't want to go anywhere once we have to lug around baby crap along with our own stuff. At least for the first couple months.

Things I'm looking forward to:

My sister coming to visit in March

My mom moving closer

No more weird alien feelings in my tummy

To hug Devin without being two feet away from him cuz of the basketball in my tummy

To walk without waddling

Not being HOT anymore

Be able to take my allergy pills without worrying

Fitting into my old clothes

Cuddle with my husband in bed without feeling a pull on my sides

To hold my little baby in my arms.

Things I'll miss:

Being able to chew things that are cold. I have uniquely super sensitive teeth normally.

Having whatever food I want and still loose weight

I'll still be missing actually having sleep

I guess I won't be missing all that much! 8 MORE WEEKS!!!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Well the end of the year went by very quickly for Devin and I. We spent time at his parents and my mothers house over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. It was great to hang out and relax and eat some really really good food!! I do have some pictures but Devin has misplaced(Hopefully!) our camera. We spent the rest of the week looking for non-existent jobs for Devin. Seriously NO ONE is hiring. Not even the usual places you can count on like Convergys and Call centers!! We went to employment agency one after another. Devin would walk in and be handed a business card and come back out with NOTHING!!! I was astonished! Nothing!!!. I guess there are jobs out there but without ten years of experience in dough making, you're out of luck. Yes that really is a job DOUGH MAKING!!!
So that's been our exciting last few days. We bought our vacuum finally so we spent last night cleaning up and organizing the apartment a little more and took down our Christmas tree. Oh man does it feel better to have clean floors and a little more open space! I can't wait to get all our pictures and curtains hung up. Less stuff in boxes=more space!!! We fell asleep early and set an alarm to watch the ball drop which I missed because I couldn't open my eyes. Ironic huh. Then I kissed my husband and attempted to go back to sleep......ha ha I wish!! 5 am was soon around the corner and I sent my husband off to snowmobile again. I hope he's having fun.
I hope everyone is excited for a new year that will definitely be bringing lots of changes. One thing that keeps playing over and over again in my mind is we don't know how much time we have left to enjoy our lives and the many blessings we have. I am very thankful for my beautiful growing family, my friends, and the Gospel. Without these I would be in a hole. Probably a very clean hole, but still a hole. I love you all. Thank you for being a part of our lives. :)
