Emry 30 Weeks...

So Devin finally brought the camera home on Sunday so we were able to take some pictures. It's funny that he's kept the camera the past like two weeks so he could have it for snowmobiling and he totally forgot to even take it with him on Saturday. I love my husband!!! Anyway, I was really sad this time because it's been three weeks and my tummy looks smaller!!! Definitely not the way you want to feel when you're increasingly feeling huge and can barely walk, yes I totally waddle now. Devin thinks it's hilarious. I however, do not. So you can tell that the tummy isn't as round as it used to be. He's starting to migrate down to get ready to come out. Even though we're like 8-10 weeks away from his debut. But he's still doing great!


Nothing else exciting has happened with us. It's been snowing like crazy so I've been holed up in my house since I'm way too scared to drive during the storms. But I have lots to do in the next couple days so I'm getting excited to be drained of all my energy!! Hope Everyone is enjoying the Holidays!

One More Week!!

I am getting so excited for Christmas!!! I can't wait to share our first Christmas together. I just finished Devin's present up so I just need to wrap it up before he gets home on Saturday. It's nothing crazy but something really really cute. He already got a new snowmobile and new snow pants so he doesn't get anymore presents for a very very very long time. But he's gonna love what I made him. I'll put a picture up on Christmas of him opening it up YAY!!!

So besides Christmas stuff, I have been up in Logan a few times in the past week and got the chance to hang out with some of my Bestfriends that I haven't seen in forever. Last week Barbara and I went out to Angie's and had some breakfast then Devin arrived and we spend the afternoon play Mario Kart and World Tour. Devin is so good at Mario Kart. It won't be long til he convinces me we have to have the game. He loves it!

We spent the weekend with our family pretty much. We had our brother and sister and their little Trayden over on Friday for Dinner and Wii time. The boys were so intense! The mom's just kicked back and talked the night away. Literally! Then we went down to Sandy on Sunday for Trayden's blessing. It was great! Devin freaked out officially about becoming a Father. Mainly because in three months he'll be doing the blessing. It was so cute! His face has never been so red. I wish I got a picture of that moment! After the blessing we got to visit our good friends Suzanne and Trent who live right next to Sandy. I hadn't seen them since our reception! It has been so great to be back in Utah and catch up with all the people I love so much!!!

That brings us to this week: Yesterday I went up to Logan again with Liesel and Lacie to visit Barbara again and take her out for her Graduation Lunch! We are extremely proud of her. I have never seen someone work so hard and be so organized all through college! Time really does fly by. We have all known each other since our freshman year 2003. Crazy!!! I love the girls and can't wait for our next get together!
Here's a picture I stole from Barbara's blog :)
From the Left: Me, Barbs, Liesel, Lacie and baby Saylor.


I Just found this picture of us all back in the Summer of 2004. Crazy!!! Barbs had just started dating her husband kind of but didn't want to admit it. I was working in Disneyworld and Liesel was working at Hogi Yogi with Barbara. I have no clue what Lacie was doing about that time?

I am 29 weeks now so I am still counting down! Devin has the camera for Snowmobiling this weekend so I have no belly shots, sorry! Next week I'll get one in and maybe it'll look like I've grown. I don't feel much bigger like I did last time but I never know. I see myself from a different angle.
Well I hope everyone is enjoying the snow and the Holiday season. I can't wait for next week and all the fun dates we have with friends and family!! YAY

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

So yesterday it snowed! It was the first time for me this season. I decided I don't think I'll enjoy driving in it this year and will be a lot more scared to walk around. Pregnancy=clumsy! But I was so happy to see a little bit of white on the ground.

This past week I actually go to see Devin more than I thought. I spend Monday and Tuesday up in Logan and ended up going down to Sandy on Tuesday night with Devin to help our brother and sister pack up and move. Then I drove Devin back to Logan on Wednesday morning then came back home to sleep. TOO MUCH DRIVING!!! But it was fun to hang out with the Mandi and the baby and watch the boys do all the work.

Then on Wednesday, we had the opportunity to go to the Jazz game. It was my first time so I was so excited! My step dad's boss had a box reserved for their work Christmas party so we got to sit in a more quiet, comfortable box and have catered food and drinks. It was awesome! It felt nice to actually feel like a VIP for a day....even though we are SO not. We lost the game but it was still intense to watch. Then Devin went back up to work Thursday morning and came back Friday after work since there wasn't enough snow for them to go sledding yet.

Then we spent the rest of the weekend cleaning and relaxing. We got our Christmas tree up and decorated! I pretty much just watched Devin do it because all the spinning around the tree to hang the lights would have made me very sick. Then Devin took pictures and we enjoyed a Christmas movie. It was very relaxing and fun. On Sunday my mom came to visit and I cooked Lasagna for dinner. It was great to have her over! Yet very very weird! I'm all grown up now!

Then we broke out the Wii, made homemade ice-cream for Devin and then watched Desperate Housewives and crashed.

Yesterday I finally found a doctor and one that I loved! I got some more pictures of Emry and a DVD of the ultrasound but unfortunately I can't get them onto the blog. But that's okay because it was all in 4-d so he looks a little scary right now. But he's 2 pounds 6 ounces right now so he's a growing! I go back in January so we'll see how much he changes by then!!! Maybe those pictures will turn out better and I can find a way to get them to a digital photo. Well I think that's all for the Anderson's. Keep praying for more snow so the boys and girls can play in the mountains!!!

Emry 27 Weeks

So I'll be 27 weeks on Wednesday!! It's going by really fast yet really slow! We took the picture a few days early because Devin is over in Logan working until Christmas. Can I tell you how much I don't like not having my husband here with me especially at night. I'm a chicken now! That and I can't lift anything so I feel like I'm useless. Oh well. Only three an a half weeks.
Anyway when we took this picture and looked at it we both went WHOA!!! Devin can see me everyday so he doesn't notice me getting bigger and I can't really see at all expect looking down which doesn't give ya much of an idea of what I really look like. Anyway, now I know why I'm definitely feeling way more tired and Everything is SO much tighter! Emry jumps around like crazy and we can now see an alien poking around and making my tummy looks like a bowl of jello. It's so weird! Like and alien inside me making my tummy jump. Our new game is putting the remote on my tummy and see how long it take to get thrown off. It's funny.

We got to go down and visit our Brother and Sister in-law this last week even though I've been sick. I didn't hold him much to be safe but I got a picture of Devin with Tray. Can I tell you that I am SO lucky cuzDevin is a natural with babies. He knew how to hold him and how to hold him in different ways to make him stop crying. I just stared and then freaked out because I was SO nervous holding Tray. I was scared of breaking him. He is so little. I have never held a baby under 8 pounds and Tray is almost 7 pounds now and he's a month old!!! Anyway it was adorable to see my husband being such a good daddy. It made me feel truly blessed to find such a fantastic partner for eternity. I can't wait!! 3 MORE MONTHS!!!

Besides that, we've been unpacking and organizing the new apartment. I'll put picture up once the place doesn't look like a hurricane hit it with boxes. It's close to being done though so ya'll won't have to wait too long. It's been exciting though. So far we have lost a remote to a TV and a bag that has some of my underwear and lingerie type stuff, not that I can wear it. And some of my maternity stuff. So I am sad that its gone!! I can't believe we can't find it!!! I hope it turns up soon.
We bought our Christmas tree and stockings on Saturday too! Along with a glider for the baby. So one thing down, four hundred to go!!

Hope Everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving weekends!! We had a long day but I'll let Devin post about that one because it was a super exciting day for him.

Shorty

I just wanted to add to my last post a big PS

We are officially back in Utah and at this exact moment moving into our new apartment in Clearfield. I can't do much hence the post. BUT YAY!!!! WERE HERE AND MOVING ALREADY!!!!

And EMRY doesn't stop kicking for a single second so he's doing perfectly!

Quirk #1
I smell my cup or bowl before I put a drink or food in it. Even if the cup is brand new out of the bag throw away kind that could not possibly be dirty. Ya that's one of my very weird ones and I have done it as long as I can remember. I don't purposely do it, I just do. Then one day, Suzanne, My college roommate told me I did it and we laughed a long time if I remember correctly. She also told me I NEVER close cupboards behind me. I really started to believe her when I was living by myself and I'd walk into the kitchen to find half the cupboards open. I think that ones funny. Now I have a husband that does it.

Quirk #2
I really dislike talking on the phone and I am sorry to say I avoid it as much as I can. I WILL NOT answer the phone if I don't know the number. If the person doesn't leave a message I'll block it and call back to see who it was to see if I needed to talk to them or if it was the doctor or something. Now that I'm pregnant it's gotten a little worse that I just plain don't want to talk to anyone, even when standing right in front of me. I just hide behind Devin so I don't have to think and try to focus on the conversation since I am loosing all my braincells and becoming dumb. Literally. I am NOT exaggerating.

Quirk #3
This is a pregnancy quirk because this is definately not my regular personality. I am hating being touched by another person. I don't want to hug or shake hands or anything. But don't worry I won't bite your hand off if you want to feel Emry jumping around. Poor Devin, I think I went like three days without hugging him cuz I couldn't stand him being anywhere close to me breathing down my neck. Literally! His breathing gets on my nerves like crazy right now. The joys of Preggohood!

Quirk #4
I cannot let my toothbrush touch anything. I have to have it in a bag put away or something when it's not in use. I just can't stand the thought of all the nasty bacteria that is spread throughtout the restroom when it's being used and such. Ugh I get mad at Devin if he puts my brush down on the sink or something if he can't find his own. I will seriously buy a new one and not use mine anymore. I am so OCD!!!
Oh and I used to have to have my right foot in the air while I brushed my teeth. That's just weird

Quirk #5
I won't use the towels people have in their bathroom's when visiting them. I just don't know how clean they are and I hate when your hands smell moldy after drying them off on a nasty old towel. I think a lot of my quirks involve smelling. I also won't reuse my towels if they have touched the ground or something. Especially if they haven't been hung up to dry and they get all moldy smelling. See more smells....

Quirk #6
I have a lot of routines. Like how I get into my car and start it to how I eat my food routine. I won't go into details cuz this isn't exciting or anything. I just couldn't think of a last one...oh well

I think lots have done this already but I'll do:
Lacey
Shannon
Mary
Anna/Steve
